You really have no way of knowing that, you just know how you feel. I’m not trying to be rude, but we have had posts like this after almost every single loss the last 3 years (see Purdue and Minnesota last year as examples). Yet, the kids keep showing up and competing.
You do realize it was on Tom’s watch when the Peters boys were crapping on kids in the shower. Let’s not paint TO as the perfect Coach here. 85% of Husker fans wanted his *** fired until the 94 Title.
Tell us more about the Peters brothers. You seem like a wealth of knowledge about Nebraska football.
I’ve heard from several former players during that time period the the Peter’s Boys were unhinged. 85% is probably high, but TO was not real popular headed into the 90s, a lot of people saying the game had passed him.
Not when you get a 10 million dollar raise after 2 years of losing. If it gets rewarded with millions of dollars why stop?I would think it would bother SF and the whole staff.. Don’t ya think.
I used to ride on the elevator in my dorm with Grant quite a bit because his brother Tracey was a freshman on my floor. Could actually chat with him. Always liked Grant. As for Tom, I’m still pissed at him for retiring, he had another good 15 years in him, at least.
Where the hell have you been? I quit posting when this became the covid/mask/Trump/Biden board, but put my toe back in the water now that there is actually football. I haven't seen you posting in a while. I liked the PC today when Frost was asked what his favorite Thanksgiving dish is and he said cranberry sauce. Anyway, it really sucks that the LJS and OWH reporters don't ask Frost any needed and tough questions. Don't worry Jaw, it is a matter of time before they turn on him.
Even though he's put up virtually identical numbers to Omar Manning, I'd say yes. Resoundingly. Did you see what he had on his upper lip earlier this season? That kind of dedication doesn't just happen.
You haven't been paying attention to what happens to coaches who do that. The current generation of college students and athletes have inspired whole conferences among educators with their entitled attitudes. I wouldn't want to have to try to manage all of the personalities and "brand" builders on a football team. Losing sucks and isn't exactly good for trying to build chemistry.
He’s likable in a hero worship sort of way. Analogous to a recent high profile election, there are many with contrarian views. Much like the election, some don’t care, some are apologists, some look past things hoping for a promise to come through, and many are leaving the flock
Before I retired I was regarded as a hard *** by the young kids at work. A throw back to a bygone era and soon my kind would retire from the modern workplace. I'd chew on guys with swear words when they were late or not appropriately dressed for the situation, etc. Same with the gals minus the profanity. Funny thing is the month I retired kid after kid stopped by to tell me how I (positively) affected their lives, put them on the right path, showed them the way, etc. I was shocked there was so much love there, I figured at best they didn't like me and was glad I was leaving and at worse, hated me.
Have you not paid attention to the most successful coaches and how they handle things? Do you think Saban or Dabo allow crap like that to stop them? They run fairly tight ships, in different ways, and are successful. Players don't mind being chewed out and held accountable by those types, because they know that they have been wildly successful coaches and that by learning from those coaches they have a chance to continue their play past college in some instances.
I would pay top dollar for Matt Campbell. What that guy could do with some resources.
Isn't that the Defense that gave up 76 points to Kansas?What's wrong with having a little fun? Oh yeah....
I have no idea what went on in the locker room. This day and age, shitting on each other in the shower is probably considered an artful expression. Maybe some player’s were identifying as toilets, so the Peter brothers might have been ahead of their time.
But he had a handful of players remain loyal to him. So clearly discipline can have the same effect as "befriending" the players. Less downsides too probably...
I was thinking of the shouting match Bo had with TMart on the sideline when Bo found out Taylor called his dad from the locker room when he was getting X rayed. Got me wondering whT Bo would think about our players tweeting during games.
