People may think I'm crazy to own this....., but I repeatedly said on this board that I was a fan of Barney, only I preferred him in an offensive coordinator/run game coordinator role. (I know...people think I'm crazy or stupid for saying that) I did have some issues with Barney, but I think that mostly arose because Barneys philosophy and Becks philosophy were total mismatches IMO.Who DIDN'T have issues with Barney?? Besides Bo and his sons. No gimmes Zoogs.Yeah, Beck going with Urban to "smooth things over" was not a tall task.I do think that Nebraska being Nebraska, Riley being Riley, and having Langsdorf on board, the Huskers could have made a strong push. It just seemed too late in the game in this case, but they tried.The most surprising thing in all this is hearing all these accounts about Beck actually doing damage to the recruiting process on their visits. Of all the coaches on Bo's staff, he's probably one of the last ones I would have expected. Then again, he did say "who has a good relationship with the fans?"This CJ Johnson story makes it sound like Beck also had some issues with Barney. Which is not as surprising![]()
This may not be the best example, but there are some good examples of the formations and the types of plays we used to run. Barney was a pretty good play caller back in 2003 IMO. I'd take him over Beck 10 times out of 10.
