An influencer coach on social media. Our players instagrams aren’t very great. Dylan was the only one who had a 100k+ followers. EJs was ok. But nothing like jeremiyah love and the followed showed.

I mean pritchett is our best O-lineman for NIL $ and he has 114 followers.

Not only do our players not have the followers but their instagrams are boring.

why’s this matter ? Think Arch is the highest paid NIL player cause of UT boosters and his play on the field? Think again, his social media has a ton of followers. Social media plays a big part in NIL; this is where Nebraska’s sucks. Sucks bad

Think Arch is doing the instagram stuff. Hell no. UT has people doing that. I’d rather pay a team Phill Snows salary to do social media for our players then have Snow doing any coaching. It would have a better impact to the program.

and I get it. You ain’t getting a 57 year old farmer to follow a 19 year old on social media. Make the contact good and they might, if they are posting funny stuff. Not fat dudes sitting on cows giving a 2 finger sign

Come on. Do better pathetic department.

we have the largest on3 and 247 sites from what I’m told. But we can’t get any traction on social media for our boys?

People generally do not follow losers.

His name starts with Brent and ends with Vigen.

He can bring his whole roster, too.

Problem is, he is likely to be a hot commodity next cycle.

Best case scenario is he lands at a Big 12 team and we swoop in while we can still afford him.

This X 1000. This offseason would’ve been the perfect time to hire him too. Alas, we are stuck with potato head and Iowa will probably hire Vigen after Ferentz retires next year 😢

Nightmare scenario if they do.

But they're probably gonna do the "muh iowa culture" thing and hire Tim Polasek.

Let’s face it. Dannen screwed us with that contract extension. And when you combine that with the fact that the administration at UNL has long ago decided that a great football program is not a priority anymore, then you get the reality of how screwed we are. Mr. Spitty McSpitty is going to be our coach for at least two more years. So that is 2 more years of crap football. And at that point our “tradition” and “brand” will be a laughable joke, if they aren’t already.

What we desperately need are administrators who are on fire with a vision for excellence and a plan to implement it. That will require money and lots of it. But do we have the balls to go and get it? Do we have the people in place who will appeal to those with money who will look at what is going on and say, “Heck yeah, I want to be a part of that!”
No we don’t.

No worries we have Joel Mackovicka on the board of regents now.😉

I mean, I always thought it was weird for grown people to be following the social platforms of high school and college kids or even know how many followers they have. Unless it’s their job to.

Otherwise, who cares?

indiana's president and ad were planning years before they hired cignetti. now is the time to create a plan and figure out how we can target and be ready to hire a real winner in two years. this isn't that hard. in some ways the long leash on mr can turn into a blessing. waiting until the last minute and sorting thru coaching club also rans will never bring Nebraska back. there are some winners out there to target and groom into our next hire.

Fickell just turned down a 1 year extension with Wisconsin.

Fickell: 17-21
Rhule: 19-19

* Wisconsin, traditionally adds a 1-year extension to coaches contracts each year to keep their original contract length in place. Fickell bypassed an extension on his own

I know it’s crazy guys. But most of us aren’t 17 and didn’t group up like this. Influencers get big money. Make fun of it all you want but money talks.

part of the reason we suck so bad at NIL is because our fan base is too cool for following people on social network. Keep laughing at it and scratching your head why we don’t land a guys

ADs pay influencers money. Go watch all the Red Bull crap Arch has.

if you don’t get it, chances are you are too old and too proud to understand today’s world Sorry

Let's hire a winner. I don't care what level. Vigen is my #1 realistic choice. However, I also really liked DeBoer instead of Rhule. I still like DeBoer. Just hire a winner.

How could any of it possibly matter? You rent players for a year. That's the model. Do they even have to go to class?

Im not showing up for this dogshit ever again. You do you and God bless. This is disgusting.
