Agree with this, yet ironically he was part of the problem today.

I believe that Palmer has great chemistry with Thompson who knows how to throw the ball. Purdy’s throws were horrendous and smothers throws are not accurate. Receivers have to have chemistry with their QB. Smothers, for example, has some chemistry with Washington. Regardless, I believe Palmer is NFL caliper receiver but if throws are horrible, there is so much you can do. However, I agree that today he had a bad drop that cost us our comeback. I still want him a part of this team as he is special.

 
If Kansas holds on against the Cowpokes, they'll be bowl eligible.  And I think that will leave the Huskers as the P5 team with the longest current streak of no bowl appearances. 

How did it get to this?

All of these what did we learn threads after all of these losses has made us learn something about how we find ways to lose.  Our first loss this season was delivered to us by a team which has not won since.  
 

Smacks of a losing culture that needs expert analysis, followed by precision mission oriented guidance by those doing that analysis.  
 

Is it realistic to expect that from Coach Joseph?  If not, who?  Honestly, can it be done here?

What is required for having a winning culture?
 

The key is hiring a coach that understands how to develop it and has a staff that does what is necessary. 
 

We say we want a winner. This, that and the other has to happen.   What would current and former successful coaches tell us?

It’s a combination of things. Among them is the ability to connect and relate with the team. Along with that, understanding that people have have uniquenesses and learn differently. In another words strong interpersonal and intrapersonal skills. 
 

With football IQ and experience, the coach and his group of teachers need to have high degree of emotional intelligence. 
 

It has to be authentic whomever is chosen to do it. And it’s not just the head coach.

Anthony Grant got 80 yards in the first quarter. Anthony Grant got 35 yards the rest of the game. Vokolek and Brewington each caught one pass for short yardage.

Vokolek was targeted a couple time but Purdy's throws were off the mark, which is being kind. I don't know how you miss a 6' 7" target.

 
I hate to rag on the kid anymore than he already has been, but I'm gonna do it anyway. How is Purdy even on a football scholarship? He stinks!
