Weren't there some folks here wanting Al Golden?

I thought Nebraska was #1 at the time?

Look at how things ended up for us that year

I don't even remember.

Was that the National Championship year vs Miami?

Depends which of the 2 seasons you're talking about.....

But the National Title season we gave up 62 points in a season ending loss to Colorado and then backed our way into the National Title only to get our shit kicked in by an obviously better Miami team.

Colorado went on to get their asses handed to them by Oregon, further showing just how "good" Nebraska was

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

The Big 12 was WAYYYY overrated that year.

Coaching makes the difference. Nebraska probably is an 11 win team with Dantonio or someone along those lines.

Why not target Jim Tressel?

Because Nebraska has a coach.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Al Golden just moved to 49-49 as a head coach, by the way.

OUTSTANDING!!!

 

[HuskerPower52]

jjm do you have multiple personalities?

 

[Exorbitant]

Miami will most likely be one of Nebraska's 5 losses next season. Don't be surprised if they win by double digits also, a Mad Dog earmark.

Tressel would be a HUGE upgrade over what we have now. I'm concerned about his age though. He's 61. How many good years would he have left?

 

[HuskerinBig10]

Pretty sure I am on record as wanting Jim Tressel.

I think I posted something about a rumor that Eichorst wanted to bring Golden to Nebraska because Golden is not happy in Miami. But that was in my Eichorst is not the right guy thread. Which Eichorst further showed if the Joe Jamail talking to someone from Nebraska about Mack Brown is true.

BTW, I find that one completely bulls&^*. Joe Jamail is a BILLION dollar lawyer and he would have asked for a name and verified. Not to mention, he has caller ID. My guess, Jamail did it because he knows most Nebraskans hate Texas and he probably hates Nebraska so he was using that as a way to send a little HA HA HA at Nebraska.

The only thing I really want is for the program to get over that hump we are stuck on. If it is with Bo, then yes I want them to get over that hump with Bo as coach. The Huskers seem like a Big Red 4X4 that is high centered and waiting for the wheels to hit the ground. Those coaches and players need to put all of the puzzle pieces together to get to the next level. That is the one thing I WANT for the new year...

 

[HuskerPower52]

I think our offensive game plan along with the special teams is what is killing us. I don't think Beck knows how to handle the talent he has. I think he wants to be a up tempo Oregon offense but doesn't know how to execute. The special teams kills both our O&D.

Bama has 49 coaches on there staff and pays them damn good. Now if the boosters want those results they and Bo are going to have to get on the same page. Bo wants 100% of the credit/responsibility/blame. Its to much for any man to handle he needs to let go and realize. A great staff will make him look great. So he needs to give up some responsibility. Now he wants to make it so reporters can't talk to any staff members reporters can only talk to Bo.... Giving a one voice bullshit kinda deal.

More and more I think I want sweater vest

This is the year gents, if we dont lose key elements of our team to injury in 2014 we will win the B1G and be in contention for the natty . There would be little in the way of excuses that would be acceptable with the talent we have coming in and with what returns.

I can realistically see us dominating the conference next year and really anything less will be a letdown for me personally.

 

[sandhill_husker]

Hope you're right Papalou.

Wouldn't Michigan or others be able to say the same thing?

 

[Papalou]

Hope you're right Papalou.

Me too, the Bowl game will say alot to me but the Miami game next year will speak volumes, if we dont look real good by then I will never say another word regarding coaching. I do have a good feeling about the Skers next year though. And as a bonus the Nebrasketball team will take my mind off of the Foosball fer a lil while this spring.

I see a lot of parallells between us and Michigan. DO or DIE time fer both programs and I give us a strong edge.

 

[sandhill_husker]

Darn right....my optimism is more focused on the round ball right now. Can feel good about that.

And hopefully fooseball works itself out and the Huskers return to greatness. Not gonna hold my breath but I'll stay patient.

Yeah, I'm starting to wonder about Hoke. However, this was only his 2nd season. He should get another year to show improvement.

Bo has had 6 full years and NU appears to be slowly sliding.

 

[HuskerPower52]

Well hoke really fell. Bo has maintained. And hoke didn't have nearly the injuries neb had.
