Also we are wiser as a fan base today in what we want, we are a more seasoned "less spoiled" fan base. We have experienced horrible failure for 16 years so we know what we want and need. We are not enamored by shiny objects we want substance. I think we are better for it and have the potential to learn from it and be even better fans- more appreciative of what's in front of us.Difference in coach. Scott Frost comes from a locker room that was running around the field after winning the AAC championship game almost in tears chasing down his players to give them hugs, while his players chased him down to give him hugs.
Callahan came from a locker room that thought he sabotaged the super bowl.
I can’t help but like Kiffin. Guy just seems like he’s having so much fun. And I still think he’s a heck of good coachRegarding who is the coach of the year in the state of Florida...
I would say that's true. Back then it was too close to the Osborne years - one of the most extraordinary coaching performances of our time - and the fan base thought it was a God given right to be in the hunt for a NC every year, so everyone was quick to believe that Callahan would deliver, because that's just how it was meant to be at Nebraska. Reality was a shock.Also we are wiser as a fan base today in what we want, we are a more seasoned "less spoiled" fan base.

Pelini was not the full package he brought a toxic angry environment pitting players against fans. That toxic mentality led to huge blowouts by giving up early in games.I would say that's true.

But I wouldn't categorize Pelini's years as 'horrible failure'.
I agree with the us against the world, but I do not think the team gave. Remember that Callahan never won a game when trailing at the half. Bo had many big comebacks, including the biggest comeback in school history, which was against OSU.Pelini was not the full package he brought a toxic angry environment pitting players against fans.

Scott is the 30th Head Coach of NebraskaScott was beyond brilliant in the news conference today. He hit the right notes and tone.
This year is also the 150th year of statehood. A great year indeed.
