It's been a rough start, but if you can prove to us you can adapt this can still go the way you want. Here are some things that seem fairly obvious to those watching, but may not seem so obvious to you:
1. Hire a full time special teams coordinator, who can make in game adjustments. ST can often be the difference between winning in losing, especially in the B1G, as you have seen two years running versus Iowa.
2. Get rid of your QB coach in order to accomplish #1. The quarterbacks are thinking too much, and you both seem to still think Luke McCaffrey belongs in that room. There was a reason NU was the only school who said he could be a QB. You gave him his shot, as I'm sure you promised him you would, now get him in the RB or WR stat. He can be a great Husker, but not at QB.
3. Hire a new offensive line coach. It has become obvious the offenses largest issue is the line. The poor snaps kill everything you're trying to do, and severely impact your QBs. Also, you have to bench kids for more than one series for them to actually learn anything.
4. Learn how to recognize when you're being stubborn, and when it's hindering growth on your team. Refer back to numbers 2 and 3.
5. Let your offensive coordinator coordinate. Don't overpay your WR coach under the guise of being a coordinator.
6. Don't alienate your players by blaming them, the buck stops with you. Period. See #7.
7. Be the CEO. You're not a coordinator anymore, act like it. Learn what goes on in all 3 phases. I never want to hear that you missed something on ST or defense because you were trying to call plays again. Even if it happens, it's on you, so own it and do better.
We are all still behind you, but even Nebraska fans have our limits. You've been doubted before in Lincoln, so let's see it. 2021. No more excuses. GBR.
