No, YOU say I am saying that. I know what I'm saying.
Like I said before: I am in with the guy.
But we've all heard "we're gonna fix it," and "it's on us," from now FOUR DIFFERENT COACHING STAFFS.
Bill Callahan:
“The bottom line is we need to make tackles. We need to make plays. That’s football and that’s life. We have got to get better. We have to find a way to get better. It’s frustrating. We found ways to come back in this game and it still slipped away. I’m taking it one game at a time. We will assess where we are after we watch game film. We are going to keep marching on. We make no excuses, none whatsoever. I take total accountability for what has happened. We are going to keep working, keep pounding the rock. We are persistent and insistent on our philosophy we have tried to ingrain. We are going to keep pounding the rock."
Bo Pelini:
“Like I said all along, there's character in the room, we have to play smarter. We're not about moral victories. Nebraska never will be as long as I'm head coach. If we start being about moral victories, you need to get a new coach. (This game) doesn't change what we have to do. We've got to go back to work. I told them one thing; this shows us is the potential we have as a football team. You can't get too high or too low, you've got to just go. This doesn't change what we've got to do tomorrow or the next game. We've got to keep progressing as a football team. You put in the hard work, you practice well, you learn the game plan, you do some things and execute.”
Mike Riley:
"When I go to bed tonight, I'll be hoping for that, because I would love to do this. I truly believe I'm exactly the right person to do this. The football parts, I've been doing it so long, we know how to fix, and we also are doing a good job recruiting."
Scott Frost:
"We had a long talk just that we all need to get better: coaches, players, everybody needs to get better," Frost said. "You know, the thing that I know how to do as a coach to keep moving it forward is just work harder. Keep practicing harder, keep trying to get guys better. And I told them that I think the last two games are games that we easily could have won, and we didn't for a lot of reasons and there's stuff we can all do better. And the guys are hurting right now."
Don't know about you, but after you've heard the same thing over and over and over for over 15 years now....you get kinda tired of it.
Don't give me coach speak. Give me results. If you're willing to do what it takes to win, show me. Because there have been two football coaches fired for on the field performance (Banker and Bohl), as far as I know. Your commitment to win shows when you show me you don't practice nepotism (like the majority of the coaching ranks at the pro and college levels do).
