Taylor rumor

[Pedro Guerrero]

On the first page:

Where will he be next year?

Fire Shawn Watson

Is This Watsons Last Chance?

On the 2nd page:

New Offensive Coordinator? Who would it be?

This is what I mean, not the fact that they exist.

That's more of an argument against the chronic redundancy of threads we see than an argument against the merits of the discussion, isn't it?

Yes it is and that is what I was trying to point out. I just used the Fire Shawn Watson because that seemed to be the Hot topic the last couple weeks. Personally I don’t care one way or another if people like/dislike Shawn Watson.

FWIW: I find some of the “rumor” threads entertaining, that being said some of them are pretty lame.

Anyone remember Cody Glenn?

If Taylor was gonna be off the team, he'd BE off the team.

I remember Hunter Teafatiller. :cheers

I remember Andy Christensen too.

But those guys weren't kicked off the team, were they? Castille and Glenn were gone and there was no doubt about it. Those guys broke rules but for some reason Pelini let them stay around. He didn't jerk everyone around covering up for them.

Actually I think the Watson threads have been pretty diverse. I started the, "Is this Watson's last chance?" thread exactly because it was focussed on something specific. Yeah, there are a lot of Watson threads, but there's also a lot of football threads. What matters is the actual points being made in each of them.

If you are suspended, don't you still practice with the team though?

Taylor was probably on double-secret probation.

i've watched this tread since yesterday but haven't commented cause i dont have the pysche for it but i will say its been gnarly to see how the changing (thesis paper anyone?) collective emotions on the board.....

from the shock, to denial, to now it seems a lot of people are coming back to their sense.... fasinating!!!

but then again i'm no better than anyone else too!!

The problems of this rumor have to do with the logistics. How does Taylor's dad fly from California to Texas to Lincoln back to California and back to Lincoln.

Does he have his own plane. That bustling metropolitan Airport in Lincoln does have a lot of flights but how is this guy everywhere.

Can we confirm any of this?

I heard he flew to China as well

Lots of talk on both sides.

Taylor leaving does not sound right, but who knows what a kid and his parents think.

All this tough talk about him leaving and it not mattering, well if you want to be a 2 loss team or more every year, then concern over him leaving is not necessary. He has been our team this year, when he is not in there, we have little chance of being the dominant team we want to be. No one else is proven, so he is a needed piece heading into big ten play.

Not saying we should beg him to stay or play favorites to keep him. But it will affect this team if he leaves. I do not see it being for the better.

So I will not worry about it until something actually happens. Nothing I can do about it. Moving on.

Because cowtowing to a wanting to quit Eric Crouch sure helped in the long run. It only cost Solich the respect of the team and ultimately, his job.

It only yielded us one sub-two loss season, that one, and I'm of the opinion Newcombe would have had that identical record behind center.

Do you actually believe that Solich playing Crouch over Newcombe (who had durability issues at QB)cost him his coaching job at Nebraksa? Are you serious? How many snaps did Crouch take in 2002 for their 7-7 season? You know we were a fumble away from the NC in 1999??? This was with who at the helm? The team seemed to play pretty well when Crouch was in there. The reason why Solich lost his job was recruiting had fallen off and we had an impatient AD who wanted to make drastic changes. It had absolutely nothing to do with Eric Crouch. Just amazing...

He probably went to China because he was pissed about the missiles they launched over LA. This thread is for rumors, right? LINK

And yes, I also remember the 99 season and the Texas loss,

No, I'm saying his desicion to start Newcombe, Crouch quitting, and Solich driving to Omaha to beg him back on the team cost him a lot of respect with that team and the staff, and started the team down the road to the abortion that was the end of the 01 season into 2002. Not exactly a radical theory as many people around that team then have admitted as much.

I was making the point you never let pouty QB's call the shots, and Bo knows that. I know claim link evidence isn't needed for threads like these but I thought I'd get wild.

I respectfully disagree. How can you regret starting a player who won the Heisman trophy? I think replacing a player of Crouch's caliber as well as Lord not having quite the supporting cast/talent/experience that Crouch had was a much larger part in the 7-7 season. Not Crouch going to discuss his future with his HS football coach Petito. Our defense was also having some major issues prior to Pelini arriving on campus. I don't think Crouch played a role in the 62 points that Colordo put on us...

And swish.

 

[Skers!]

Damnit, I hate rumors like this and the speculation that comes with them but...

I have been thinking about Taylor's sideline behavior and the critique that he should be wearing a headset. Maybe the coaches don't want the kid in the loop because he is not going to be a part of the program anymore? Why let him in on the play calling if he is just going to leave?

Again, I take all these rumors with a grain of salt but damn there are just more and more all the time.

I hope the guy stays and that this is all just rampant speculation. If he does not want to be a part of the team then I say let him go. Tough to loose a talent like him but I think the kid needs to do what he wants in order to make himself happy. If he is miserable with the Huskers than I guess he needs to do what is best for him.
