Osborne must have made a deal with the devil to win those nattys in the 90s. It apparently came with a huge cost...

We’ve been adrift, rudderless, and no land in sight for years now.
Lots of Husker fans believe we are “cursed” but I tend to go with the viewpoint that we made our own hell.

Only Bo’s run could be looked back upon as a decent era. We won at least 9 games a year, we ran a spread with a physical running aspect to it and the team had some moxie.
Bo’s ultimate undoing was we were good for getting absolutely blown out a couple of times a year and Bo’s own hair-trigger temper and propensity for running his pie hole about his own bosses and even the fans.
The rest of that list above? Same old story - coaches who create a soft culture and love to pass, pass, pass.
With the facilities, NIL, tradition and fan support, no reason the Huskers shouldn’t be able to consistently be on par with a good, steady program like an Iowa.
But we aren’t even going to reach that bar again, until we rediscover our roots and find a guy who preaches toughness, physicality, attention to line play (both sides of the ball), special teams and an offensive philosophy that can grind it out and RTDB.
The big cigars in Lincoln have shown no evidence that a collective light bulb has gone off yet to find such a guy….so we keep living the same story. Football’s version of “Groundhog Day”.

I have some Nebraska friends that provide me a free place to stay when LSU is in the CWS. It is a tough time for them indeed.

Last I heard, Nebraska has the oldest fan base in college football. Fla.State was not far behind....again, last I heard.

I thought Frost and Rhule would do well there. I don't get it.

They both love to pass, pass, pass the ball. No grit. No mental toughness. No ability to slug it out in a phone booth type game.
Airing it out all the time might work down South where you have exceptional speed and talent growing on trees in your backyard or in the NFL where the best of the best play for a living…..but that’s no way to make a living in the Big Ten and Midwest.
It was never a fit for Nebraska football.

Looks like that undefeated season at UCF was a major outlier in Frost’s HC career and he’s just not very good. He’s had a losing record in every other full season he’s coached (7 of them)—not including this one where UCF is 4-4 thus far.

Frost seemed like a perfect fit.

I loved Nebraska football back in the day.....the game has changed, and so does the Huskers. Nebraska is a tougher place to draw elite talent, and you do need to invest in a great coach, for starters.
Good Luck, it would be great to see the Huskers back in the mix.

Roster limits and steroid testing. Not enough state talent, and once you lose your momentum for national recruiting, this is what you get.
