We MUST avoid this

[ToptheTerrible]

Nebraska Cornhuskers struggle with storied past and uncertain future

Butch has accomplished just enough success, or shall I say hope, to not be THIS story.

Whatever happens, please Mr Currie make sure we don't get here. Because we are headed there like an out of control train.

I'd argue Nebraska has been more relevant on the national stage the past ten years then us.

 

[volfanbill]

Nebraska's dream hire is just praying for the phone call. We're praying someone will say yes. So there's that to look forward to

:question:

 

[barknoxbrawler]

:question:

They have a run of 10-4 to 9-4 seasons. Not bad and honestly it's heavenly compared to our last ten years.

Didn't they wind up playing Miami when UT crapped the bed vs. LSU?

They've at least been in a BCS bowl this century unlike UT.

 

[VolPack22]

They fired a coach that won at least 9 games every season. They actually have expectations.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Too late.

 

[vols-1]

Lost at home by 40 points...sounds familiar

 

[NeverWe'llSever]

To me, we have a much brighter future than Nebraska. Recruiting is only gonna get worse for them. Nobody wants to live there. They will have to feed off of out of state almost completely for elite talent whereas with us...

instate recruiting quality is going to sky rocket in the next decade, mainly due to Nashville. Right now, the football program has more money than they know what to do with and has some of the richest boosters of any program. A quality coach is all we need.

Also, it was very fun to beat the crap out of Nebraska last year. That at least gave me something to smile about at the end of an incredibly disappointing season. They have definitely been more relevant than us this past decade, though, without question.

yeah, but they lost to Butch Jones, so how good can they really be?

Yep. Should have kept Pelini. SEC experience, served his purgatory at YSU. If we don't get Chip, Mullen, or Gruden, I'd rather have him than Les Miles.

You are already there.

You know it's bad when a UK Wildcat is talking $h!t during football season.

What do you mean "avoid" what happened to Nebraska? It already has happened.

Nebraska and Tennessee are already in very similar boats, although I'd rather have Tennessee's set of circumstances than Nebraska's. Nebraska has to feed entirely on out-of-state talent yet recruit kids who are in Big 12 country and want to play in the Big 12, not the Big 10. They not only have no in-state talent but also play in a conference that is a bad fit for them. They don't have as much money or as good of facilities as Tennessee does.

Tennessee just needs a great coach to return to relevance. Even if Nebraska got a great coach, I'm not sure they'd be a great program again.

Probably had more to do than the person he was

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

I'd say Josh Dobbs had more to do with it than Jones

 

[05_never_again]

That shows you how bad this team could have been last year. It took Josh Dobbs just to get us all of 8 regular season wins, 9 if you count the bowl.

What if Dobbs got hurt and missed significant time in 2015 and/or 2016? It certainly was a possibility given how many hits he took and how many guys were getting injured generally. If Dobbs was injury-plagued, I think we are talking about Butch getting fired after the 2016 or maybe even the 2015 season.

lol, we would have whooped them without dobbs. and who got Dobbs here?

not defending Butch just pointing out misrepresentations.

We're still beating them. Mark it down.

What is it 31 out of 32 now? You sure you wanna talk garbage on VN? As of right now, our coach who is about to get fired is 4-0 vs Kentucky and only one of those games was remotely close.

Not that they should talk trash, but they are about to whoop our ***

We'll see about that. I will never concede anything to Kentucky football.

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

Hoping Jones is fired before KY. I think Hoke or Scott could motivate us to a win. Otherwise we might lose to both KY and Vandy for first time ever?

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

After the Florida disappointment this will be their super bowl, we will be super motivated by our 70 point beat down from Bama.. this has mail in written all over it, our players care nothing about 31/32
