Come on man. No one here is against the team. You seem to blame them and give the staff a pass.

I keep the balance. I'll tell you when it's one or the other or both.

Players have been in position to win this game and have made too many mistakes and not made enough plays to cover them up.

Really...so when has it been on the coaches?

The Illinois game. No doubt about it. The rest of the games have been a little bit of both. This one and last week was mostly all players.

The tone of the game and mindset of the team is set in the off-season and Sunday-Friday in practice. That is on the coaches to build their culture. 10 months is plenty of time to establish a strong culture. Listen to how Harbaugh did it through tough practices, high expectation, and accountability in the same amount of time Riley has been at Nebraska.

The players choose to quit on this team, but the coaches allow them.

As a coach, you have to know this.

I really think this was a unique situation Riley walked into. I don't think this was a place anybody was going to walk into and just "change the culture". There's some stuff ingrained pretty deeply here. Combine that with the gut wrenching losses to start the season, and I think it went the wrong way quickly.

 
Offense was poor. If you have a QB with some reasonable playing experience, perhaps you don't see this awful outcome.

This one belongs on the coaches. Riley better man up and take the blame on this. Frankly, I am not sure what he can say but he needs to provide some kind of explanation of the outcome. You cannot blame

 
This is the worst coached team I have ever seen. Anyone defending this coach needs to go hide in a hole. We may not have any super stars this year, but for sh#ts sake, this coach is making damn sure there are no stars on this team. To you people blaming depth, any time you have the threat of firing a coach like we have for the last few years it hurts recruiting, and now when you hire a coach that is short on marbles you get the crap fest we get to watch now.

Guess I can sit here in ohio and listen to the news talk about JT Barrett and his arrest.

You didn't use this argument the last few years, what gives?

Seven years of watching the players be out of position, running the same "pass first" defensive scheme.

I tend to expect some changes when things are going the exact same way for seven years.

Year one, new staff, they have the right philosphy and players have been in position to make plays. Tackling has improved. We are still just insanely inconsistent. It's easily there for the taking if the players just step up. It's not nearly as often you see the defenders not in position to make the play.

49 points to Purdue and you keep defending the coaches?
