OK, where is Damian Jackson???

I wouldn't think that people would expect instant contribution, however, i personally thought maybe he could single-handedly infuse some leadership and toughness into the team.

I think a lot of people had similar expectations as you.

I'm a firm believer that football teams take on the culture and identity of their leader(s). It's great if you can have players pick up the accountability and culture, but, it has to be set from the people in charge. I don't think one or even a couple of guys were going to be able to break through some of the cultural deficiencies we experienced under the previous staff. That should (hopefully) change moving forward.

...I’m persuaded he will be introduced to football on kick offs..I would think it would take perhaps 2 years to train a individual in football skills to responsibly let him take the field...he must show demonstrated ability to defend himself through all possible football scenarios. Having just retired from Army Special Forces and working with Seal teams in OEF, there are similiar attributes between the two units...with that, I’m inclined to think his general ability to apply head knowledge into action  is way above average...so I suspect he could possible see field this year..

We should be able to save money. I think in the past, UNL and other schools, brought in military types to put teams through workouts or give motivational talks. Can’t get better than a SEAL, IMO. I remember watching those guys in BUDS carrying their rubber rafts overhead crossing the street and empathized knowing they were starting a day of agony.   I’m sure football practices are easy in comparison.

I think it would be cool if we also had actual seals on the team. If they can balance a ball on their noses I bet they could at the very least be a holder.

Field goals should count for more points if the ball is held against the holder's nose for the kick.

Oh yeah...Years ago on the Military Channel, there was a brief mini-series "BUDs: Class 234" and it was wild.
