Will Jackson leaves team

From a PR perspective, I'll allow that Fischer probably could have handled it better. Not because he was wrong in what he said (as we've all ganged up on Mrjfb to point out), but because there are a lot of Husker fans who heard 'slow blinker' and immediately assumed, like Mrjfb, it was meant as a slam on Jackson's intelligence.

This coaching staff's blinker terminology thing is still awfully new. It first came up at B1G Media Days when Frost first said it and a lot of reporters initially assumed he said Thinker instead of Blinker. Give it a season or two, and most Husker fans will go from "WTF?" to acting all smug and superior when a fan from another B1G team scratches his head and asks what we're taking about.

New to us maybe- supposedly it's terminology that Frost and his staff have been using for years. Doesn't mean that should dismiss it but...
 
yeah, I dont have an issue with the phrase, it makes sense, being a slow blinker isn't the same as being stupid, just means you process things not at a speed that's needed...
 
Calling him a slow blinker in public was pointless, classless, and needs to be called out.
I disagree also. Don't think the coach is saying anything publicly that he didn't already address with him in private. If he choose not to get in his playbook and slack off then he knows what he did and why.
 
The "urban dictionary" definition is basically "moron".
Lately, its wise to point out, anything urban has a very very high potential of being a lie.
That being said, we can either assume our new staff are insensitive neanderthals, hating their way to the top, tossing aside coach player developement when they see fit, or, not knowing anything about our new staff,not to jump to conclusions about anything urban.
Just ask all the osu fans, they'll tellya Ima bettin

You know it will only be a few games before most Husker fans are smug....I mean there's some on here that are already smug and a game hasn't been played.

Where did that come from? Why shouldn't we be a tiny bit happy with securing the services of the 2017 Consensus Coach of the year?

I was joking at how over the years Husker fans can jump from we're the best to we'll never win another game to we're the best again rather quickly.
 
I believe he still counts against the scholarship number since he participated in fall camp. He is on the books until December. Sederick King, however, frees up a scholarship since he never came in . . .

Actually according to what I read, King, Roberts, Jackson, Barnett, and Bryant all count against the scholarship limit through December because they all participated in fall camp and started school.
