The debate is over... right?

I think we would be undefeated if:

1.) Our coach had some backbone and discipline 

2.) Handle outside distractions by downplaying them

3.) Get rid of the NFL shoulder pads only walkthrough practice routine.

4.) Made sure Boyd Epley was far away from the program as possible.

Sadly most of the above is in Riley's DNA and it can't be altered. Undisciplined, no accountability among the players. No real leadership from the coaches and none among the players on and off the field. The lack of physicality/toughness resulting in constant injuries or players not being able to tough things out.

I'm really tired of players talking to the media and hyping up the team. The talk of the defense being so great, the 3-4 out scheming our offense. Players should humble themselves more and let their talking happen on the football field. Actions speak louder than words after all.

We aren't going 4-1. 

Riley knows he's gone and his coaching staff is distracted by their own future. Practices must be a nightmare of going through the motions.  Since the Northern Illinois game, the team has had four chances to play for pride, and there's been no burst of adrenaline or focus or players stepping up in the moment.

There was one moment in the middle of the third quarter against Wisconsin — Nebraska had tied the game and the crowd was going nuts — where the season and perhaps Riley could have been salvaged. That was the moment when Wisconsin took a deep breath and calmly proved it was a much better team on both sides of the ball. 

That was the last of the last chances, imo.

Wow.  You must think Riley is an even worse coach than I do if you think a bunch of keyboard jockeys can so easily affect his results.  Or were you just joking?  If so, good one.  You got me!

He got me too. Until you quoted him I took it seriously. Obviously pointing out the absurdity of skerfan post. +1 Lumber

 
Texas and Florida have all the advantages Nebraska doesn't -- including a bigger checkbook — and find themselves in the same position. Except McElwain and his family are actually receiving death threats from disappointed fans. Nebraska fans are still at the "toxic cancer" stage.

Arkansas and Tennessee are going nowhere under coaches who were considered the hot hires of their day.

So....you know.

I forgot what my point is.
