2011-2015 recruiting and where they are. Might be some of this 2-4

Every team in college football deals with attrition as well as injuries. The bottom line is that Nebraska has enough talent currently to beat every team that we've played. It's the decision making and personnel decisions that and the overall 'coaching' of this team that has been this teams true downfall. Enough with the excuses....

You are so wrong IDK why I even responded to your post. It's fans like you that are hurting this school. If you don't believe me go look up Keyson Jr's comments about how much he loved it here except for the ignorant fans in the stands that were bitching about MR and how he should be fired. That kid is more knowledgeable about how to build a college program than a lot of the supposed "greatest fans in college football."

If you wanna "debunk the myth," it's on you to do so.

The author was complaining about VaTech attrition, which over the span from '02-13 being discussed, was 39%. Same as NU.

Also, if you want me to just examine the upperclassmen only (ignoring the last two classes), which is what the author was doing, our attrition rate becomes 29/62 or 47%.

Should've hit refresh before posting. It's already been debunked.

 
So hypothetically. We sign 20 guys....we're gunna lose about 8 of them.

That leaves us with 12 guys. That makes recruiting the right guys even more important.

Why are you comparing Nebraska to a school that hasn't ever won a MNC? Is that what you want? I would say no with how much you are on here pushing for pitchforks and bitching about everything.

I feel like I just got lectured by my grandma and (see the bolded) you didn't have to btw... You chose to.

It's football man. I didn't call Riley the devil or say he was a horrible person.

Lighten up.

Onus is on you to back up your own claims if you want to refute that 39% is a ridiculous number for attrition. It makes sense that QB success rate would be low because that's a very difficult position to play. OU is a start, but hardly representative of an average.

50% is a fuel of thumb? For who? I certainly wasn't aware. What's your sefinition of "working out?" Does that include a guy who never does anything spectacular but develops into an average starter or even a capable backup? Because that still helps the team. A lot. Something that none of those 39% can do... they're simply a black hole in the roster.

No, the flaw in your reasoning has already been pointed out. XX% is meaningless unless we know the rate for other teams. That puts the onus back on you to show that your 38% number has any meaning.

I already linked to one article showing Oklahoma has a 40% attrition rate.

And please, stay away from magnifying glasses. All that sunshine you're pumping might start the straws you're grasping for on fire.

Was this you? If not it is people that think like you that are the type of fan this school doesn't need.

"I love the Nebraska fans," Johnson Jr. said. "I love how they are always commenting on Twitter and saying 'Go Big Red' and stuff, but when I was in the stands I heard some of them kind of talking about Coach Riley and saying, 'Oh he should be fired' and things like '(Riley) shouldn't be coaching for us, this isn't the Nebraska way, we don't go 2-4.'
"I get all of that, but I think it's kind of disrespectful. Coach Riley is kind of the only reason why I'm looking at Nebraska or even started to look at Nebraska. It's because of Coach Riley and Coach Williams and the coaches that are there. So for them to say that they should be fired, I just think it's kind of messed up because it's their first season. Like, have they even been able to recruit much? Is that their team with their guys?

"I can understand that the Nebraska fans of like 30 or 40 years aren't used to being 2-4 because they're used to winning National Championships. I just feel like they should give Coach Riley a chance. You can't always expect huge things in your first season as a head coach at a different place, installing a different system in a different environment."

No worries AF. I apologize as well.

 
So let me get this straight AF. It was perfectly fine for you to bash Bo every chance you get bit no one can say a thing about Riley's questionable play calling or clock management? I stayed away from posting anything about Riley for 3 games but after the Illinois game I had enough. I don't see the superior coaching that I was told we were going to get out of this staff and the clock management is beyond laughable before Wisconsin. I'm not calling for Riley's head but I do believe he is the wrong man for the job. So you keep on bashing Bo if you want but don't pass judgement of anyone that isn't thrilled with Riley.

Oh the irony! You want to tout Key's plea to cut down negativity so we don't hurt recruiting, all while trying to convince everyone that all our players suck! Man, if that isn't textbook cognitive dissonance, I don't know what is.
