I say we need a new coaching staff. Period.

I agree. Terry bowden wrote an excellent article today on the big upsets this season, this is what he said on the coaching across the board:

 



Coaching. Now, I have to be careful here because this isn't going exactly where you think it might be going. I'm not saying that coaches at the power schools are getting out-coached. They didn't get to where they are by not knowing how to coach 'em up and get 'em ready to play. I'm just saying that desperate times call for desperate measures. Coaches who are trying to find a way to win ballgames with lesser talent are more willing to scrap their old philosophies and try something new than the guys with all the talent. Heck, if I have better players than you've got, I'm going to make sure I just keep doing what I've been doing and let the superior athletes be the difference. Jackie Sherrill used to say if it ain't broken break it. Now I know what he means. If you were the first person to put in the wishbone, you won the national championship. If you were the last guy to take it out, you got fired.

The successful coaches at non-traditional power schools are playing a different game than a lot of the "comfortable" folks are willing to play. Texas Tech equally disperses 60 throws a game to five different receivers. Missouri is treating every series like a two-minute drill and has yet to have a delay of game penalty this year (they average snapping the ball in 14 seconds). West Virginia has mastered the shotgun option, Hawaii has thrown for 400 yards and six touchdowns in the first half. Navy has the audacity to actually continue to run the triple option.

Wake Forest has found its own special way of doing things, too. And they do it with confidence. Just ask the Seminoles.

Its WAY more then needing a new Defensive Coordinator or as simple as getting rid of Billy C!! I agree that they NEED to go but they need to go even higher up the chain of command and fire or force Steve Peterson to resign. Its obvious that this type of football is NOT going to work in Lincoln and the time has come to admit that Harvey Pearlman made a HUGE mistake when he brought Steve Peterson here from Pitt and start from scratch!! I have been going to Husker games my entire life (29 years) and I have NEVER one time can remember an embarrasment like that at home!! More than half the stadium was gone even before halfime and the ones that stayed were doing the FN WAVE!!!!!! What a disgrace to Husker Nation!! I haven't heard the exact stats or dates but Im pretty sure that was the WORST first half at home EVER as far as rushing yards as well as points!! Firing Cosgrove or Billy C is NOT the answer! No coach in their right mind will come to Lincoln and work under Steve Peterson after the shit he has pulled single handedly destroying over 100 years of Husker Football Tradition!! Every single game we are losing recruits as well as boosters and now the only record that the Peterson and Callahan circus is in serious jeopardy which is the sell outs! Im getting mad again just thinking about the shape of the program so I'll leave it at that. Please send me some feedback and let me know what you all think??

I dont think we'll lose the sellouts record because I think the season is already sold out.  I think at this point a lot of players...esp the seniors have given up.  You can tell they are frustrated.

This season is sold out already but next year is the first time in 40 years that it is in jeopardy! Like I said before, boosters will be backing out after this year and the streak WILL come to an end next year if changes are not made!! I heard on the radio on the way home that people were putting "For Sale" signs in the front yards of Cosgrove and Billy C's houses this week!! Tell me that one isn't funny?? As bad as I want to blame everything on the coaching staff for bad play calling and not motivating the players, you have to look at the players themselves. If you really NEED that much motivation then you should be playing at a different school!! Last time I checked it was one of the GREATEST honors in College Football to wear that helmet with the N on the side and you shouldn't need someone chest bumping and slapping you in the helmet to get you riled up to play. Especially at home!! The players have straight gave up the last two weeks and that is NOT what "True Huskers" do regardless of what douchebag is on the sidelines!! The tradition is GONE, the pride is GONE, the desire to live and die for your school and team is GONE!!!! Someone should step in and take the Black Shirts off their backs until they prove they are Black Shirts which means more than just top spot on the depth chart. The way this squad is playing they should be forced to wear Pink Shirts!! Hate to come down this hard on the players but the whole program is in shambles and fingers need to be pointed at everyone from Harvey Pearlman to the back up long snapper!! The only player I saw today show any emotion out on the field today was Rickey Thenarse when he made a monster hit on a punt return. He was seriously the only player today that looked like he wanted to be on the field!! If you wern't at the stadium today they honored the 1997 team before the game and they did a Tunnel Walk with Dr. Tom leading them out onto the field before the game!! Most of those guys haven't taken a college football snap in 10 years and they could have taken the field and played harder and better than what I watched today!! Ok sorry for the rant again but I am NOT in the best mood today as Im sure all of you aren't as well. Take care all,

 Travis

Wrong.  But it doesn't matter just like they did in the past the University will by them out just to keep the record.

We couldn't even SELL our tickets for $5.00 a piece yesterday. Very sad.

Its gotten to the point were Nebraska fans now wonder every game on how bad they are gonna get blown out. I dont know if the Huskers have given up, but they have lost there swagger and have become the semi doormat of the Big 12. To get beat by a average maybe below average team like Oklahoma State at home the way they did is a disgrace! I am not sure what they should do but this is not a rebuilding year and as loyal as Husker fans are they deserve better answers than what they have been given. If it takes benching the starters than hell do it cause it cant get any worse than this. The team plays with no heart no passion and to me thats the coaching staff, and if that is what they need to change than Im all for a change. Callahan was a bumb in Oakland and in my opinion I never wanted to see him in Lincoln to begin with. He has no clue about the tradition of Husker football! Last I checked and I may be wrong but Im not sure Frank Solich even had as bad as run as this. If you think about it they are lucky to have beaten Ball State, and the pitiful Cyclones took them to the wire in Lincoln. Lets hope for some changes so we can at least start recruiting some blue chip players instead of settling for JU CO transfers. Nebraska is getting dominated in recruiting and coaching so I believe lets start there. Keep your heads up husker fans we always have the womens volleyball team.
