knapplc, I can't even begin to fathom why you have such a doom and gloom outlook?
Erstad might not have coached anywhere or at any time in his carreer but then again, he knows how to win. Also, Bolt has coaching experience and is very respected by the players and Erstad alike. Furthermore, the sker's largest hurdle last year wasn't the talent level that was placed on the field but rather, the coaching staff's lack of abilities to bring the potential out. Effort at times last year was pathetic. Players new before the season began that Anderwatson had his favorites and chances were, those players would play regardless of effort. Erstad is exactly the breath of fresh air this organization needed. He's brutally honest, he's humble, he's fair and probably the most important thing is, he knows he doesn't have all the answers and he put together a staff of young guns that have high expectations and are motivated by carreer goals. Personally, IMO, anyone who thinks this team is less likely to get to regionals then last years team is hilariously insane and quite frankly, I'll hold the door open for them to jump "OFF" the husker bandwagon. Anderwatson destroyed our program more so then BC did the football program and Erstad is exactly the coach needed to return the program to the Vanhorn era expectations. Bolt, Christy, Silva and Ledbetter are the perfect mix of assistants to make the return happen much faster. There is a reason for everything I'm sure of and having one of our own return to revitalize this program will indeed be something I'll eagerly watch.
