Did you really wonder why a stable of mules didn't work when trying to win the Kentucky Derby?

Didn't Callahan V.1 show that a pass happy, West coast style offense not fit I Lincoln?
Looks like Callahan V.2 is doubling down on the stupid.

It wasn't Callahan's offense that got him fired.

One of the great fallacies is that Callahan ran an effective offense. More times than not, it was offensive failures that led to defensive blow ups. Sound familiar? Look at the Purdue game this year. Rl

What about the Purdue game?? We played a backup qb and the rest of the team never got off the plane. Riley runs a fantastic offense if only he had a qb that did not play in hero mode all game long.

Is hero ball the new term we are using?

I said "hero mode" try to be more accurate when quoting.
Thanks in advance.

So 2 different QBs play "hero mode?"

Sounds like a coaching issue.

or most likely and uncoachable player issue.

Christ if we lose Valentine too, Juco at DT makes sense. I'm not saying we go Ron Prince and sign 20 Jucos, but less Maurice, Williams health is questionable, then we are hoping Newell, Stolenberg, and the Davis twins are game ready.

If Riley wants to win and win now, scouring the Juco ranks is a way to get it done. DL, OL, DE, even QB could be upgraded with some proven Juco talent.

If!

Good point. It makes a lot more sense that Mike Riley wants to lose and lose now. That's why he took the job.

He is proficient at it.

Good to see the peanut squad sh#t on another good thread.

I like how fans complained that the S&C department quit making testing numbers public and now that they are staring to do it again, it's nothing but a PR move by the AD.

TheSker, ColoradoHusk, Teachercd and GBRedneck. The new Polo and crew of HB. Turning every thread into sh#t since 2015

1. I never complained about any of the stats being public or private

2. Riley is the best coach ever...he has done more with less...

 

[teachercd]

I don't think Riley is worried as much about "winning now" I think he knows his plan will work but that it will take time. So that is why I said "if"...

Respond with a patently false, sarcastic comment? That's EXACTLY what Polo would have done.

There was plenty of room for improvement in Bill Callahan's offense. And in Bo Pelini's offense. And now in Mike Riley's.

But it is utter madness to ignore the huge, historic drop off in the Nebraska defense during most of this stretch.

The defense went out and earned the right to be criticized. No idea why some here take much more comfort blaming the offense.

(I'll save you the time: I understand how offensive turnovers and stalled drives make it tougher on a defense. But that excuses next to nothing in terms of the actual problem)

It's certainly a coaching issue. And in fairness, Mike Riley has already admitted that Illinois and Purdue weren't his finest moments of coaching.

I think Tommy Armstrong went off the rails on his own. I don't think he's "uncoachable" but I hope he understands that he's "benchable."

Do you carry a little red mao book too? Go back and look at the stats from the Callahan years and early Bo years. It was the defense stupid....

Ahem.

#1 - No Flaming/Trolling/Defamatory posts

There is absolutely no reason to verbally attack another user (aka flaming), and/or posting a message for the express purpose of generating a negative response (trolling).size]

Consider this a warning.

Maybe they were "trolled" into their "flamming"?

I don't remember who Polo was!!! Was he the Hawaii guy?

Can add in cm husker also. They sing the same tune in EVERY thread. Gets really old.

You do realize that the apologists do the same thing with:

1. "The players are crappy athletes"

2. "The players were malcontents who didn't buy in"

3. "Based on 1 and 2, Bo is responsible for a coach taking over a winning program and registering a losing season that included one of the worst losses in NU history."

It gets equally tiresome to read those posts, but I'm not going to stop pointing out the flaws in those arguments.

Incorrect. Everything was wrong with Callahan V.1. Remember USC?

CM is 100% correct.

It's funny how those that militantly defend Callahan V.2 also seem to wax nostalgic about Billy C.V.1.

Guess you arent interested in facts. shrugs. All you have to do is look.
