MO Husker said: It's 100% understandable to be upset that his inability to go to class resulted in his suspension, but that kid played hard for us.

Yes, "played hard for us" despite his obvious admittance to not...makes perfect sense.

I know there are some Husker fans who don't like what I am saying. But that's not the point. The point is, the last two (really last five) years of Nebraska football has been so mediocre because many of the players (who are starting and playing for Mike Riley) were recruited by the former coach.

It is an unpopular opinion to be sure, but Nebraska's players under the former coach grew accustomed being lazy, putting forth minimal effort, and were 100% okay with not only losing, but getting blown out.

Nebraska's performances on the field the last five seasons are ample proof of this.

I'd really love to see that quote.

Google is your friend. It's a quote he made to the media following the 2015 loss to Purdue.

Back up your claim man...

Or are you too busy throwing college students under busses?

I feel like everyone else is on crazy pills...

Nate Gerry flat out said after the 2015 loss to Purdue that they hadn't "bought in" and I'll damned if I can find it.

I know for a fact that he said it. I just can't find the exact source.

Also...trying to find something from two years ago...

 

[LumberJackSker]

Shouldn't some of the blame be on the coaches for lack of buy in? Gerry was hardly the only player that didn't buy into Riley.

True. But he was a starter, a "leader," that was supposed to set the positive, not the negative, example.

Gerry did say something to that effect. It was also about guys doing their own thing and reverting back to the "old system". I'm a fan of Gerry. Not trying to pile on, just saying Making isn't making stuff up....

Eagles embracing NFL's emerging hybrid, do-it-all mentality with Nate Gerry
The Eagles have a hard-working and extremely athletic safety-linebacker-special teams hybrid player in Nate Gerry.

“I was pretty open-minded," Gerry said after being drafted the 184th pick. "With my agent, we didn’t really know where I was going to go. … A lot of teams wanted me to make that transition to linebacker, but a lot of them saw me at safety, so it kind of came down to who was left on the board and who was up at next pick. I’m very excited. I think the linebacker role is going to fit me really well, especially in the scheme that we’re running.”

However, he was talking about a system that led to us having one of the worst defenses we've ever had as implemented by a coach that got fired.

So perhaps the players knew what they were doing more than the coach.

Ummmm....No

This was 2015 and clearly Gerry's comments were directed towards the newly hired coaching staff.

To even suggest that Gerry was talking about the previous coaching staff is disingenuous at best.

MRI was suspended along with someone else to start that year. Not saying the players should get a pass but in my opinion the lack of effort and buy in Riley's first year is more on the coaching staff.

So you're saying the coaches should be blamed, for not making the horses drink?

Listen, we can debate scheme and what ifs all day.

Ultimately, it's on the players on the field to execute the X's and O's.

To that end, the players from the former coach's regime failed...no matter how you look at it.

I realize it was 2015. That was the year we finished #122 in the country in pass defense. Banker was the one implementing that defense and he has since been fired.
