Reaction OU vs NU

We've had a remarkable run of bad DC's.

Cosgrove
Bo-with Callahan recruits-(Best)
Bo-without Callahan recruits
Mark Banker
Weird guy
Chinander

In this list I actually put Banker number two.
Bo without Callahan recruits was terrible and embarrassing. That whole one year Diaco thing was like a Twilight Zone episode.

Trivia: In Bo's second stint as LSU's defensive coordinator who did he replace?

Okay so anyhow every morning I have one cup of coffee and one cup of "tea" consisting of hot water, 2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar, and 2 tbsp of honey. I innocently take a drink of the tea, read "Weird guy" on the list and just spit all over my laptop. This is not hyperbole either. I tried to stop it but it went up my nose, made me cough and then lost it all. Thanks mrjfb.

All of our woes can be traced directly to our O and D lines. They are soft, they play scared, and they have almost no physicality. Unless Mickey Joseph addresses this, we're going to continue to suck.

And for the record, Benhart #54 is, I think, the worst RT we've ever had. My gawd, if the starting 5 OL are the "best" we have on the roster, we're not going to win another game.

It was kind of like watching a guy that the QB owed money to by how many times the left side D got to the QB

We won't win another game this year with the current schemes we are using on offense and defense. Everyone, locally and nationally, sees the issues. I just read another national article, one of many over the last few years, that say the same thing - Nebraska needs to get back to Nebraska football. Why does EVERYONE see that but the current coaches and administration? We must, starting today, go to a ball control, power offense. Get the QBs ass back under center and pitch it to the running backs. Sprinkle in some play action. Even though we lack talent on defense, get aggressive. Walk the LBs into the gaps on the line. Turn a couple of safeties into LBs. SOMETHING. We may get burned but we're getting burned anyway. Get aggressive.

It's also going to take admitting to some hard truths. Whipple was a mistake hire. He's not Nebraska football and never will be. Raiola was a mistake hire. Our O line has actually regressed if that is possible. Chins should not see the Indiana game. We have some players that, to be kind, like to rest a little while the play is going on. They should not see the field, no matter who they are.

Mickey needs to make some very tough decisions with coaches, players, schemes and philosophy. Will he?

1. I agree with your post.

And 2. I'd like to add something about the NIL deals that may potentially rub some folks the wrong way....

Regarding NIL deals, I also see during games a LOT of half-a**ing it out there. I dunno, it just seems to me that if you're going to get paid regardless, what incentive is there to play hard? So my solution is to modify NIL deals and if the team doesn't win, then you don't get paid. Because I promise you, if I half-a**ed on my job like some of these players do, I wouldn't have a job.

And, like kmillz mentioned (and I have mentioned countless times before) we need to get back to Nebraska football. Run the ball, control the clock, play defense, and be solid in the kicking game. That approach won us 9 games a year for 40 years with our being the most dominating team in all of college football during the mid 90's run. Like, why can't the people who run the AD and the University Administration see that? In another post I said: The key to our futurr is going back to our roots.
 
Don’t get me started on the half assing it during plays. I see it, many can see it. We don’t have the talent and the lack of effort by some just AMPLIFIES it to the nth degree. Either coaches don’t see it, which is bad, or they ignore it, which is worse. Any competent staff would sit these guys. Just no accountability.
 
I advocate implementing a program of cheating during the bye week. Wrap sponges dipped in chloroform in the Oline's hand wraps. Teach them to grab the opponents under the facemask and give a squeeze. Hopefully by Wednesday they will have learned how to wipe their noses without passing out.
