Future Permanent OC Candidates

If we win this weekend he will be back.

Probably - yes

It is interesting how many people thought AC would be so much better because he is a mobile/running QB. It's in our DNA as Nebraska fans that we have to have a mobile/running QB. Other than rushing stars, AC is no better than Dylan Raiola. I thought I had read this week that opposing coaches are rushing 3 and spying AC and have their outside backers contain him. And yet, we haven't figured out how to counter that. Maybe a new OC will remedy some of those issues.

Maybe when Dylan Raiola said Oregon had better talent, he was talking about coaches.

The struggles on offense against IU and Oregon made sense - very good defenses. Washington and Illinois.....felt more like it was our mistakes, lack of execution and play calling holding us back. Some of that is AC not playing great for sure but it felt like we aren't putting him in position to make plays. WAY, WAY too many straight drop back passes. We moved AC around early in the season on many pass plays. For some reason we stopped - maybe in part to how Ds are playing us - he's had time back there but hasn't been able to make plays most of the time. AC hasn't seem right since the IU game. He took a beating and I think he's either hurt and that is not being shared or it messed him up mentally somehow. My 2 cents. Maybe the change in OC will be just what is needed - but I have serious doubts we score more than 14 points in any of the 3 remaining games.

Our OC has failed to put AC in a position to succeed. Let's see if a change is coming. I love how Husker fans have a Love-Hate relationship with all of the players.

Conversation like this is, is when I miss Doc Holliday and Sully.

When a coach makes a bad decision, it is really tough to overcome. Ours let IU escape with a win by two mistake and a win over Oregon with terrible mistakes in the fourth Qtr especially clock management and coaching errors in the Washington game on defense. Remember Rhule is in charge until things go wrong and then the fault lies elsewhere. In the other IU game we just got thumped.

Our offense stunk in every loss and that is on Rhule and his OC.

Maybe Kingsley would be a better choice?
