Seriously. Does Bill Snyder need Texas talent to beat them? Don’t we supposedly have more “talent” than other teams in the West. If we lose any more West division games it will be because of coaching not player deficit. Winning out in the West should not save this staff.
Our talent problem is coaching not player talent.
- Thread starter ExxHusker
- Start date
Agree. But, our talent is not good or close to a top 20 team. Top 40, maybe. Hence our top 40 classes (with the players who left).
People who read RSS or the local beat writers believe “the next star” “was offered by OSU, too - but didn’t Mention they didn’t recruit him” “4 star - they didn’t mention we beat out ISU, CSU, and Montana”.
Name a top 3 round NFL draft pick on the team? After you realize it’s zero, think there’s at least 4 more years until that can happen.
Please list the current Seniors that are playing for Nebraska right now and be completely objective at where you would rank Nebraska's Senior class against the rest of the country.
We have some needs, that much is certain but we're not completely devoid of athletes. We all know Florida State is loaded but last night they looked no different than we have, they lacked everything.
Our “talent” could look a lot more talented with some coaching to give them confidence
our talent is lacking.
our coaching is lacking.
why is this hard?

It's not an "either, or" discussion. The answer is both. But in the Huskers case, it's more coaching than recruiting. The tipping point for me is the poor decisions coaches have made in choosing who to recruit. Quite a few "risky" prospects brought in by Bo, same with Riley, especially at WR. Meanwhile, blue collar, tough S.O.B. two or three star prospects got ignored who could be making us a better team right now. Would those guys help us beat Ohio State or Penn State? Maybe not, but we would be much, much more competitive than what we're suiting up with right now.
I think the coaching is worse than the talent. Look at Iowa State.
Or did Barry Switzer resign and then TO became a great coach. If we’re being honest.
And then account for the fact that this senior class was recruited to play in a much different offense and much different defense in a much different culture.
If we are being honest, the answer to your question is obviously no.
If we are trying to degrade our past in some distorted way to make us feel better about the current situation, then answer whatever stupid answer you want.
Or... or... maybe none of us have a clue? Lol. I know I don't.
All I know is I don't like what I have seen out of NU football for 16 years. And I am frustrated. So yeah... I only have one thing to go by: what I see on the field. I am an ignorant slob about all of that other ****.
Great coaches lead to great teams. We don't even have a mediocre team right now.
So bring on the next coach. And hopefully we will get it right finally

We're not talking about Miami and FSU in Florida, we're talking about Northern Illinois in Lincoln. That's not talent that's coaching problems.
