The three coaches mentioned here are bad, plain and simple. Just goes to show why Bob Devaney was absolutely one of the greatest college football coaches ever. To resurrect a truly in the garbage program, Nebraska will need another such coach to lift out of the depths the football team is in right now.
this feat is overlooked.
Devaney got us off the mat immediately and proceeded to kick a spot open for us on the ‘big kids’ table, also immediately.
Literally...outta nowhere.
It’s sooo long ago, people have forgot.
Only major football program in the state...? Ok, fine.
What recruiting hotbeds in state at that did he have to choose from...in 1962?
I’m not saying there was no talent, but think about it - has Nebraska passed 2 million population, yet?
No, but I love that we expect something greater than what we’ve been handed.
No excuses.
