THE PRESS CONFERENCE
- Thread starter Husker21stb
- Start date
Sumlin did really well with Sherman recruits including Johnny Football and once they were gone, the program has digressed. We need an improvement, not status quo and that is what Sumlin represents.
Yes, Moos essentially cleaned house here. Think he kept some or all of the grad assistants, t oo.
That would probably be at a later time as the current AD allowed him to address the team on campus, unlike what happened to his predecessor.
But, yes, MR acted like a gentleman and I tip my hat to him for that.
Agreed. I hope he's further down the list than #4. If he was such a great coach, how is it that he can only muster 8 wins a year (7 so far this year) when he's in the middle of fertile recruiting grounds?!
Hmm. From everything I have heard, I can't fathom a reason why Devaney should be kept.
He is a major cog in this dumpster fire.
The funny thing is now we know, that former coaches words were spot on.

Moos mentioned Sumlin in his press conference in reference to coaches when asked a question ... Just wondering who is on the list of "Six" that Moos described ...
I dont care too much what he said in the presser, Sumlin, once a rising star has faded. Hell if he is going after Sumlin, why not try and get Shaw away from Stanford, he is a proven comodity, year in and year out.
Well that is one way to look at it... Shaw could be on the list of "Six" for all we know.
Wasn't it a couple weeks ago you were against Frost and said he wasn't coming here? Looks like you were off on this one.
I think at the time Doc let his emotions get the best of him. He was watching his team go down in flames. Once he calmed down and had time to think he switched his position.
As to Kevin Sumlin rumor is that Arizona State is calling him to come there.
Ok I was wondering how long it would be before someone brought that up....yes I did state that Along with some of my teammates we would do what we could to block his return.....myself was for purely personal reasons. Now once the season got rolling and the way things unfolded .....A couple as in 2 of my teammates who were the vocal leaders of our class of Blackshirts got wind of my feelings through my Wife, and the 2 of them went out of their way to reach out to me and talk.....we basically set up and had a ex-players team meeting when we were all in Lincoln for a game and the celebration of our groups accomplishments....
Boy let me tell you.....there were lots of harsh words.....some yelling and shouting just like we had never been apart....alot of things got worked through and aired out amongst our group....one of them was what I was so upset about. We all understood then that The Program was at a crossroads of sorts....in our opinion we were very near rock bottom.....little did we know that the bottom would come rushing up to meet us just a few short days later...
See every guy on that Defense was like a brother to each other.....it was a tight bond that went way deeper than blood even.....I know that sounds impossible but it's true.....and might be one of the reasons we were able to accomplish some of the things we did......?......anyway long story short we all to a man decided that once again we needed to put all personal feelings on hold and move forward as one group like we did when playing together for the good of the program and school.
We owe our Coaches and the University everything we became and are today.....and we were not about to let personal feelings change who we are at the core......so the decision was made to get behind the University and to do whatever was needed to assure the success of the Football Program going forward......no matter what was asked of us we would do what was needed, if Scott Frost was to get the job of head Coach that means supporting him and helping anyway we are asked or needed to.....
Hence the change in my personal feelings..... now make no mistake my feelings are still there.....I'm still pissed at him but really there is nothing that could EVER be done about it now.....the dead are still dead.....and no matter how much we would like to....we can't turn back the hands of time and just undo things that happened years ago....so I have delt with it.....brought it out into the light with my teammates and we all talked it over....there were tears, sadness but yet peace in sharing my feelings with my brothers....little did I know how many of them felt the same way but felt bad for me and were afraid to bring it up....so a lot of healing occurred in that room that day.....and brought us all just as close as we once were....that was a very unexpected surprise.
It was hard telling you all that but at least now you understand what's up....thanks for your patience and understanding....and to those who don't care....that's cool I get it.....just don't expect mercy where none is given in turn.
Doc.

Your ok Doc. We all have emotions that get away from us from time to time, all we can do is get back up dust ourselves off, ask for forgivness and move forward the best we can. You have done that.
Well said DOC. Things happen in life. You can either let it fester and eat at your soul or you can forgive and move on. I've learned in my 46 years that life is too short. Enjoy life and people while you can becuase they'll be gone before you know it. Attitude is everything. You can't always control things in life but you can control your attitude. Having a positive attitude is by far better than always having a negative attitude. Makes life more joyful. Sounds like you had a come to Jesus moment with your teammates. I'm so glad you did. Hopefully you and Frost can heal your relationship with each other.
Let's get this thing started. I'm excited at what Frost can bring to re-invigorate this program.
