If Michigan St can do it, Nebraska sure the hell can. We just need to find the right guy. And it's quite possible we have. We just dont know yet. But to write us off cuz someone appears to be better isnt no good.
Michigan State under Dantonio has only won one outright B1G title. The predictor was the first five years. Yes, I think we'll be in similar circumstances with Michigan State where we're at least competitive. In the first five years, we are going to be in a talent disadvantage to Ohio State and Michigan. There's a reason Ohio State hasn't lost a regular season B1G game. Meyer walked into a program with a mountain of talent. Riley didn't.
Two dropped balls from 11-1, hangin right with a team widely being perceived as a playoff team next year (USC) with an interim skeletal staff indicates we have the talent. In 2013, Michigan St was in the boat Ohio st is in now. The hot team late that gets in a the playoffs and who knows what happens. yeah, I get what youre saying in regards to Ohio Sts talent. Not arguin that they dont have that clear advantage. I just wanna point out that it's not the end all say all. It just seems that what theyve done in developing qb after qb and going to New Orleans and beating a perceieved invincible SEC Bama team, that it's time for the other 13 BigTen programs to go ahead and wave the white flag and surrender the conference to Ohio St for the next decade. it's amazing how perceptions so quickly change. 12 weeks ago we were all pointing to Ohio St with the 'ha ha' as they struggled to acclimate Barret into the starting role. I dont know. Hopefully I'm making sense of where I'm coming from. My thoughts are that if Ohio St can do, and if Michigan St can do it. So can we. Hell, Michigans already bein penciled in as back cuz of who they hired. But what does Michigan have to offer that we dont? And the supposed recruiting disadvantages? Well, I just buy it as much as I used to. It's just a matter of what you put into that phase. Bo was making some pretty good improvements in that area himself.
I find it endlessly interesting how Nebraska's talent level seems to evolve with the argument.
Experience
You are probably right. It would be 2018 or 2019 more than likely where we will introduce a new HC. By 2020 we will have offered an extension. It would be unlikely to get to the final year of a deal and have just extended the coach a year prior and then fire them.
