It seems every year is a tough schedule. It is all perspective how tough of a schedule it is. 60's-70's-80's-90's Huskers these are not tough schedules. Most teams in the SEC these are not tough schedules. Ohio State these are not tough schedules.
Every year is a tough schedule because we are a s#!t team. We are in the Big Ten- the schedule is going to be solid P5 teams every year. We need to get ourselves sorted out and where we need to be and want to be so we can stop blaming the schedule for why we are not winning games.
Exactly! Ya, I remember mocking the B1G for how great they thought they were. We in the Big 8 and Big 12 thought the B1G sucked. I always hated the "Rose Bowl" as they would have some crap team from the B1G representing, but only a "pretender".
Today, there are 10 teams in the B1G that are better than us. No wonder the schedule looks so "hard". But Scott just "fixed" all that.
I'm past being "frustrated". Dealing with the "coach speak" is just like going to an AA meeting and "hearing one side of the guys brain selling him BS and the other side of it buying it." He says "he really wants to be sober" but consistently takes the drink believing it won't burn him this time. It's just insanity.
I'm totally cool with the mindset of Otter in Animal House, when he says to Flounder, "You F'd up ... you trusted us." We all make mistakes ... or buy in to a bit of our own BS. What I can't stomach is the same insanity that has said we are "a mistake away", "a play away", "a recruiting class" away. No, that is driving me crazy. I want to hear the coach in Remember The Titans, who turns to Coach Boone and says, "Coach, Ed Henry is kicking my @ss!" He then gets some help from Coach Boone.
Scott is floundering. Time to listen to the little girl in Remember The Titans, "Now ain't the time to be proud." It's just to far into the gig to have hiking issues, ball security issues, blocking issues ... basically, we are an undisciplined and have a lack a focus. This is usually the first thing instilled from a good coach. What scheme or 5 star recruit will ever amount to anything without discipline and focus?
But again, we got that one missing recruiting class ... so its all fixed now.
I'm finding myself in this scene from Animal House. Scott [as much as I hate to admit it] represents more of the attitude of the President of the Delta Fraternity with a bit of Otter [plaid suit] kinda mocking what is really required/expected.
Scott is not gonna be fired in the next three years. Hope he is grateful. But if he doesn't fix and deliver, not only will Nebraska continue spiraling toward insanity but he will have instilled a type of "abuse" where he claimed so much but delivered so little.
I lost a 26 year marriage doing what he is doing. It would be far better to acknowledge he doesn't have the answers and then get some help. Scott needs help. He doesn't need to be enabled.
