Direction of the Program

[theknife]

Voted: Yes and competing/winning the Big 10 in 4 years.

Pros:

-Coaches talked about rugby style tackling change and it showed in the Spring Game.

-Staff has been creative in using social media to recruit and so far it appears to be paying off.

-Mike Riley seems candid in interviews about what when wrong last year and what they need to change this year; in other words, no generic coach speech.

-We have an up in coming coach at WR Coach.

-Cautiously optimistic about the direction of our O-line

Concerns:

-Who the hell is going to step up at DE?

-I'm still not sure about Banker yet.

-Bruce Reed still boggles my mind at that salary.

-Solid production from the TEs, paging Mr. Carter.

-Can Tommy trade boom or bust for solid quarterly production?

-Will the staff get 8 wins this regular season and a bowl victory? We don't need it for absolute success, but anything less would kill the momentum alive via recruiting right now.

How was cm husker able to vote 3 times already?

Aaaaaand there it is....

So RDR has finally admitted he is cm's best bud/doppelganger.

I've known that for quite a while.

A losing season was tough too take, especially given losses to bottom dwellers like Purdue. Last year was a major step back. Maybe we are in the right direction now, but we traveled a great distance in the wrong direction last year.

Reasons for hope:

The coaches talk like TA will run more

DPE will be back

New DL coach

Reasons for despair:

Two DL drafted

Lost most of the OL

Lost the best FB in a generation, and maybe of all time

Nah... This is cm's +1 machine. His old buddy from HM.

1-5 in division. Setting up for another trainwreck of a season.

Riley is a career .500 coach for a reason.

Took a big step back? We didnt win our division which isnt much of a difference from most years since the 90s

We didn't win a national championship last year either, which isn't different from any season since 1997, so I guess everything else has been the same since then too?
By that reasoning, if we had gone winless last year, that is merely equivalent to not winning our division, so no difference, eh?

You were able to reach your conclusion simply from me pointing out your troll post was the first troll post in the thread?

No question.

If being "very confident" in the direction of the program means a playoff team within four seasons, then we just don't want to be not disappointed.

Oh the Bo circle jerk group is in town, back from Youngstown I see.

Brilliant! Do you still love lamp?

I voted very confident. The reason is simple, I like the direction our recruiting is going. I'd be ecstatic if we made the playoffs in four years.

wouldn't a .500 coach get 3-3?

i have a lot more confidence in our guys than you have. last years transition from Bo to Mike was a lot rougher than expected....but it sure looked like it was coming together at the end of the season. add in what seems like great recruiting and it seems to me that we are heading in the right direction. how well this year? i am not sure...but i will say easily much better than your prediction.
