    Surprised Dave Clawson isn’t

    Clawson is all O, no D. Like hiring the Coastal Carolina coach. His offense is tremendous, but in the Big 10 that level of success won't be repeated. Iowa is probably the best defensive team in the country, and they're a divisional rival on the field, as well as in recruiting. Minnesota is also...

    Leipold is impressive

    Here's my mea culpa: I beat the drum hard for Klieman over Leipold in another thread. After looking like absolute trash today against Tulane, Leipold is clearly om a better path with his decisions and ability. If Urban isn't signing here, then Leipold needs to be the guy. Even if he "only" gets...

    Nod to Trev

    Alberts has made a lot of canny, tough decisions to this point. As he himself stated, this decision will define his legacy at Nebraska as AD forever. He's going to need to be perfect. Can he be with all the noise, interference, and booster advice clouding the issue?

That's nothing to do with geography. That's program-focus. There's a reason that Oregon pulls in 5-stars every so often to...

    Luke Fickell Opens as Favorite to Become Next Husker HC

    The point about 4-stars would be solid if any of them were from Ohio. His current 4-stars are out of Illinois, Michigan, and Indiana. Only 8 of 21 commits are from OH at all. Cincinnati is recruiting regionally, and nationally, not just scouring Ohio. Missouri (St. Louis), Tennessee, and Florida...

    Luke Fickell Opens as Favorite to Become Next Husker HC

    Fickell would be a godsend to Nebraska, and is probably the closest thing to a perfect hire that the program could get. His defenses have been top 26 the past 4 years in F+, top 10 the past 2. With G5 recruits, he has outperformed a TON of teams. Bearcats, after losing their DB coach and a slew...
