You decided to start posting again to talk down to people and tell them what they need to do? This should go well.
Much much more than most people think
Then Successfully running and managing on organization is much more difficult than most who have never done it feels it is
I don't believe the two were connected in the original statement, but yes running and managing an organization can be difficult. But it also greatly depends on the type of organization.
My point is when talking in general terms about football or Nebraska football- almost anyone with a basic knowledge of the game can chime in and have a reasonable opinion. Managing the clock poorly, not enough kids on the field missed open field tackles etc
However what actually happens in a real game all the variances in formations, blocking schemes, defensive coverages, route options, personnel matchups, game planning, counter moves and technique is way over the heads of many.
That's why guys like Frost and Osborne who could see the field and make all those calculations in real time- processing information quickly, then applying their knowledge effectively in very tight time windows makes them so valuable as coaches. Most casual fans and even players don't understand all the moving parts- let alone working it in real time. It would shock them to know how complicated it really is at the DI level.
On another level- most of us dont attend practice or understand all of whats happening off the field. We have to have faith that those with that information are using it for the best long term benefit of the program.
One of the problems is- many of the announcers know so little about the game- up the middle, end around, deep pass, cliche, cliche, cliche. They do little to educate the casual fan- all about personal interest stories and shots of stupid cheerleaders shaking their pom poms. Well prepared guys who know the game and can explain it like Brock Huard are few and far between-

Very. Every sat in a meeting with some coaches? They are talking Greek half the time and Latin the other half.
I too rarely ever post and certainly don't provide valuable information. However, I decided to post on this thread because it is awesome. The OP complaint is valid, but only if you refuse to use the ignore button. If you can force yourself to ignore those who annoy you, the board becomes less, well... "Swelling".
I say this post is awesome mainly because of the follow-on posts that were funny as heck.

I am still spending 3-4 weeks at a time out of country. Just don’t have a lot of time to post. I’ll be back before too long.
