    Butler is gone

    Coaching at the major college level and the NFL is a great job, but getting fired is always a possibility. And sometimes it isn't completely about your coaching ability.

    Butler is gone

    All NIL portal money this year needs to be spent on offensive and defensive linemen. I don't care if the best ever defensive back or wide receiver in college football is available in the portal, we shouldn't spend a cent for them.

    I swear I'm not trying to troll anyone, BUT Bo Pelini is only 59 years old, not now coaching and was and excellent defensive coordinator in college football over the past 20 years. I know Nebraska would never hire him as D coordinator and I doubt he'd accept the job if offered, but that would...

    Obviously we have no choice but to give Matt Rhule a chance to fix this. He isn't going anywhere. I think it may have been over enthusiastic for us to believe his year 3 magic would work in the BigTen. Especially with the changes in college football and the absolute mess left him by the...

    Do you think Rhule regrets not jumping at a chance to at least throw his hat in the ring for the PSU job after Franklin was fired? I'm really starting to wonder if in this age of college football, besides having superior O' and D' lines, having the best coaching staff makes the biggest...

    I miss Bo Pelini. As crazed as he was, there weren't many seasons where you thought we were just a run of the mill program. Whoever that A Hole was who fired him, I hope he has the worst holiday season imaginable.

    They had one job.....

    Is James Franklin still available? Oh, yeah I forgot. We just gave Rhule a boatload of cash to stay until after my funeral.

    I know that winning 6 games makes a team eligible for a bowl game, but does this team really look like a bowl bound team? Yeah, I know the Husker fans travel well, but this is discouraging. I remember telling my son a few weeks ago that I was very afraid that Penn State was going to poach Matt...

    Reaction P State

    I'm not an expert about recruiting or coaching defensive players, BUT if a head coach tasked me with evaluating defensive players to recruit and I had a list of things to look for in evaluating film on a defensive player, #1 on that list would be, can he make tackles? Does he even know the...

    Reaction P State

    I usually like to wait a couple of days after a loss to make a comment. After the Minnesota loss I was just too pissed to offer anything. With the PSU loss, it just occurs to me that Nebraska is simply the team that their record says that they are. Better than average, but not much...

    Dayton Raiola Decommits

    It could mean that, but I think first we and he should see how T.J. plays in his 3 remaining games. And then see who is leading to win the starting job during Spring camp. My hope is that Dylan has a complete recovery and we get him some portal help on the O'line for next year. Just my opinion...

    Bye Week Chatter

    Fumble, don't you remember when you were 18 - 22 years old and would party until 3:00 AM during finals week. And you answered the bell. Husker players can handle this.

    MICHIGAN REACTION.

    Oh if we could just snap our fingers and the Huskers would be winning games against ranked opponents again. But no such magic exists. Because we can't have do overs in sports, the best we can hope for is the needed adjustments will be made in coaching and players. But our defense did...

    Matt Rhule is a class act. His response when asked about Scott Frost was very good. His record spoke volumes about his readiness for the demands of a job like Nebraska. The last Husker game I saw in person was the last national championship game Nebraska played when they beat Peyton Manning...

    May I suggest continued day drinking then. ;-)
