lateral move or step down

The conspiracy theory is someone in the athletic department leaked it to the NCAA I dont know if thats true or not let's say it is. Ok cool maybe you avoid having to pay a 20 mil buyout what coach in their right mind would want and come here after the school did that to one of their own?

Absolute step down. He goes 7-5 this year at ISU so what? He does that here you'll have a % of the fans who think that's not good enough and unhappy boosters

He’s everyone top target. And he turns them all down every year.

How much longer of Nebraska not finishing in the conversation for a NC before they start to be viewed as a stepping stone school and not a premier landing spot?

Tons of respect if he stays loyal to ISU as it has to be tough.

Well. The next few years aren't gonna be like the last 50 years.
And the Iowa states and K states of the world are on the outside looking in.

I agree. But it's gonna be hard and harder as a member of what's left of the Big 12

Why would Matt Campbell leave Iowa St. for Nebraska?

If you transplanted Chiefs and Cyclones fans to LA, they would eventually start weighing driving across town and the possibility of it taking 2+ hours to travel 20 miles to watch a game that's over in the first quarter... or sitting inside when there are a million other things to do...

...and if you transplanted UCLA fans to Iowa, they would become bored as fuck and start watching more football, no matter how good or bad the team was.

Well realistically theres maybe 6 teams that can win a NC so unless 1 of those schools comes calling it wont matter. Nebraska can still pay top dollar for a coach and has good facilities which will be even better here in a few years as they just broke ground on some new stuff.

What makes this all the more frustrating is Frost didnt have to win 10 games this year or even 8. Just make a bowl gain a little momentum the state has alot of blue chip talent the next few years.

They wont even make a bowl this year again for the 5th straight year. All that talk on here years prior of Nebraska being irrelevant was overblown. They always had a chance to get back into things. Maybe not 90s good but Wisconsin consistent good definitely. All of that is over though this program is what Minnesota has became.

There will be no Matt Campbell or Bob Stoops coming to Lincoln. The best thing that can happen now is the sell out streak ends and as we get closer to being 3 decades removed from the Nebraska glory years the expectations fade but they can find a coach to build a solid program. Certainly possible but Nebraska as the program we all knew it as started to die November 2001 fought like hell to be that program again for 20 years and today is the day where you can officially throw dirt on it.

Its all about prop 48. That rule killed Nebraska.
And K-st. Snyder had the best team in the country once.cause of partial qualifiers. But when the B8 joined the SWC.
Texas schools made sure that PQs were limited to 2 per school.IIRC?


It fucked both programs.

Excellent video on P48 and how it killed many schools

If they moved all those people indoors they could probably fill that little run down Allen crack house that KU refuses to improve.

Edit: never mind. It was double the attendance of any game at Allen’s crack house.
