I've visited Lincoln twice and Nebraska fans are some of the nicest fans I've ever encountered. That being said, these same fans operate under the belief that they should be the quality program they once were in the mid-1990's at the snap of a finger. Times have changed, Nebraska is stuck in the B1G West, no longer have a competitive footprint into Texas (with the emergence of Baylor, TCU, and A&M) or NoCal (with the emergence of Oregon), and are not in a talent-rich state to compensate. No recruits were alive the last time Nebraska won a National Championship. Most were still in diapers or just learned to walk the last time they won a conference championship. There has been no turnaround of Nebraska since it found itself as just another program that hovers around the Top-25. I have serious doubts that Nebraska ever finds its way back into the thick of things like other proud programs have. Personally think Nebraska fans need to temper expectations.

Nebraska needs to call up A&M and/or Houston and get a 10 year home and home signed ASAP and then fill out their OOC schedule with 2 for 1s with the smaller Texas schools (i.e. UTEP, North Texas, SMU, UTSA, Texas State). That way they can play atleast one game in the state of Texas every year. That would allow them to recruit Texas just like they did when they were in the Big12.

This football coach was taken in at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln eleven months ago, saved from a sad situation in Corvallis, OR. We assumed that, given a better, more luxurious home, he would adapt to his surroundings and thrive in his new environment. This hasn't been the case. It's now clear that a larger home with greater responsibilities is not the place for him. He would be better off with a gentler home where less is expected of him.

Despite his failures during his time in Nebraska, he is still unbelievably nice (almost to a fault). No matter what the situation, he can be seen with a smile, whether that's what you want from him or not. He is kind and calm, and won't disrupt you or upset anyone in charge of him with his behavior. That's why we brought him in in the first place (his predecessor had behavioral issues that no one could solve).

We believe if brought to a quaint, humble home he would be a beloved addition. His demeanor will convince you that everything will be okay with him around (the effect may wear off after ~8 months). But we are more than willing to give him away if anyone would like to take him.

P.S. If interested, we may also be able to come to a deal on an athletic director in a similar situation.
