interesting thing to think about

[chucksker]

Taylor does not have a bowl win....

 

[Brasky]

He's also 0-2 in conference championships.

He's overdue.

'10 was his fault. He threw it right to Travis Lewis in the endzone when we were inside the 10. Game over.

Last year, he was about the only good thing we had going in the CCG. He also had a very good game vs UGA. Wasn't his fault.

Was a shell of himself in the Holiday bowl vs. UW. His ankle was completely fucked.

 

[blkflagmafia]

He shouldn't have played in 2010 game vs ou. 09 small ball offense would have worked

Wash game he wasn't ready or healthy..and team quit they didn't want to go back and they knew big12 screwed them.

Last year team quit in champ game

2010 was not on Taylor... that INT killed us, but he could hardly walk and our coaches refused to play another QB near the end of the game. We should have won that one for sure.

They lied how hurt tmart was bc he said the beginning of last season that he was fully healthy.. So that half of 2010 season and All of 2011. He wa no where near healthy and ou found out fast. Start lee mix Rex and get creative our defense was good enough to hold ou down score was low Anyways.

That was on the coaches for poor development and not being smart tmart was maybe 40% I don't put that on tmart that on Bo and Watson

 

[tometom]

the fact is the Huskers are 0-3 in Bowl games and 0-2 in championships the last 3 years. as others have already stated, it's not all on taylor. not sure why you want to bash on taylor when there are tons of others to blame.

if you want to blame anyone, blame Bo - shouldn't have played taylor in 2010. should have had a better defense in 2012.

All fans blame the QB. It is the nature of the position. Just like being a head coach, it all falls on you. Unless of course your name is Bo Pelini or Bill Callahan in his first 2 years because too many fans blamed Solich for Callahan's debacle and too many fans have Bo a pass because of Callahan.

 

[Red_Alert]

Turnovers in your own red zone
Turnovers in their red zone
Penalties that kill your own drives
Penalties that extend their drives
Not protecting your QB
Not getting to their QB
Not being able to stop their ground game.

That is why Nebraska can't win the big games and has it's regular 4 losses. It starts with Bo Pelini.

And....

VVVVVVVVVVVV

Funny you say this because my theory on Bo is that bc of how scarred husker nation was with BC as coach Bo will get a pass bc people don't want to go back to 04 and 07 like seasons .

Not to say Bo hasn't done alot of good things and improved the program but I believe the bar was set low because of what BC did to us. Because we all know the knock for against solich was big game losses and poor recruiting sound alil familiar huh, difference is solich came after a legend and bo came after BC and solich years.
I know it's hard to fire a coach who wins 9 games but that what they did to solich, my prayer is Bo opens his eyes and swallow his pride.

Last point has anyone seen the recruiting for the other big ten schools holy crap some teams already have 6-7 recruits and Michigan has almost all from top150 espn man we gotta get on it

And I hate that crap because it isn't like our only choice is to go back to Billy C teams if Bo was gone. Maybe we actually get a real coach that knows how to be a head coach and hire qualified assistants and actually develop players.

Here's the big dilemma and ex CBS poster All remember this

If you get rid of Bo bc 9-10 wins isn't enough it sends a huge message that 9-10 wins isn't enough at Nebraska . Which will scare young coaches away and make experience coaches pause and think is it worth it?!.

So that leaves Nebraska in the worse position ever bc Bo won't ever dip into 7/8 win season schedule too soft and talent is enough to count 7-8 every year atleast . So then you say ok what if those four losses are blowout?! Well then you have to hope it's to bad teams bc ucla osu and Uga were good teams to kool aid drinker can say we only had 1 really bad loss.

So what do you do?? Nebraska need a coach that either develop or recruit top talent. With the way history went for us most AD are gonna play safe and hope bo steps it up and gets over the edge .

I'm not necessarily blaming Taylor. I just think it's interesting that, from a pure numbers standpoint, Taylor is one of the best husker QBs of all time, and yet he doesn't have a bowl win

I only brought it up cause it's the offseason and we have little to talk about

I did not intend for this to be a bash Taylor thread.

I agree, and I have been saying the same thing for years. The national backlash we got when we wrongly fired Solich put us in a hole where we had to settle for Billy C. As much as I don't think Bo is "the guy" we can't fire him. Just need to hope he leaves on his own. But I must also say that while I don't think he is the guy, I still hope and pray that he gets it figured out and wins every game. No matter how I feel about the head coach I will never want the te to lose!!! Stupid people did that with Solich and Billy C. I never did and never will, no matter how badly I want the coach gone.

very well put... would your attitude change to Bo if Nebraska went 12-2 this season?

AMEN
Wonderful post wonderful!! And I agree Im starting to think Bo is over his head with this job but i pray he turns it around and gets over the edge but unless he gets serious talent were gonna be in this cycle

I got throw this Jab I didn't want Billy c to lose but anyone could see that the team quit on him ksu/cu showed how good this team could be and how bad they were they didn't care.

I like that For the next couple of seasons and some bcs bowl games we caught a break with an easy division lets take advantage of it.

 

[jedburks]

It really depends. First of all, this season has a schedule built for a great record. So although I don't want diminish a 12-2 record, shouldn't that be close to the minimum this year?

For the new guys, I used to be a nut hugging sunshine pumper optimist. Then that scumbag Pedey showed back up and ruined it. His speech about how it isn't about wins and losses shook the foundation of everything that I believed and it stuck with me. Now I look far deeper than winning 10 games like Bo does a lot. Ultimately for me it is about titles. If you aren't winning them at a place like Nebraska then that is what matters. Shit, Wisconsin won 7 games going into the B1G conference title game and they have a title. It doesn't matter the stipulations that got them there. They played by the rules and got a title, PERIOD!!!! That is what matters to me. In 01, we didn't deserve to be in the national title game but had we won then it wouldn't have mattered. Nebraska will never be a massive destination place for elite talent. Not saying we can't get a few of them here and there but we can't overload like other schools. That is why we need a COACH and qualified assistant coaches that can develop and coach up the talent that we do get. That is what happened in the "glory years". When Billy C got here everyone (except me) jumped on the annoying recruiting hype train. I said on the radio on day 1 that we may win with al this talent he is bringing in but it won't feel the same as it did before. Before it felt like we earned it with hard work and dedication. It wasn't going to feel like that had Billy C succeeded, which I wish he would have.

So that is why I am labeled as "cynical", "negative", "a troll", and whatever else. I just don't pump the sunshine anymore and have a wait and see/prove it to me feeling towards it.

Unless there is a "diamond in the rough" DT on NU's roster right now (the likes of Dorsey or Suh), expect Bo to be outcoached at least 3 times this year. Therefore Taylor will not win a CCG or even a 2nd tier bowl win.

That diamond is supposed to be Vincent valentine.... But health and weight issue is holding him back. But your spot ok with your statement the DL is the big key for success this season.
