When was the last time a Husker football coach was over .500 in games coached at NU? (Mickey is 2-1)

We won today!  That’s two in a row.  Win one tomorrow and that’s called a winning streak,  it HAS happened before.

I'm just imagining some of the fans waking up tomorrow thinking there's a game on Saturday.

It was ugly but kind of beautiful at the same time. The teamwork and perseverance were evident by the Big Red. I think they might believe in themselves after these past two ballgames. It would be a welcome sight, a Husker team that works together pulling the rope in the same direction.

This was my favorite play.  I honestly thought we would win the game once I saw this happen.

I know it's early, but do you guys think that Mickey is the guy. Or will the Huskers have someone else as the HC?

That's like the time Eric Crouch laid out a DB at the goal line.

No clue.  But he allows his coordinators to coordinate.  He seems to be a good motivator.

And he can recruit.

Does this team have 3 more wins in it this year?

Unless the offensive line improves exponentially, no.

We're probably sitting at a probability of 0.6 more wins on the season. Anything beyond 1 more win is icing on the cake for the season. That said, let's play the games and see what happens; playing with house money at this point.

Former 5* OL entered portal— was at Wisconsin.  Maybe we can pick him up if he wants to stay in Big 10

I am trying to picture being a top college recruit trying to pick a school that can make or break my future.  Right now...is Nebraska that school?  I just don't know.

Is program stability necessary?  Is knowing who the head coach and assistants important?  What will be the offensive and defensive schemes?  What will be the overall program philosophy and character? 

Those questions aside, Nebraska can show the top facilities in the country.   Fan base is at or near the top.  Players graduate, they have scholastic support.  We have a fairly good community. NIL money flows like the nearby Missouri River...and not like the nearly empty Platte River.

Lot's of pluses, but can they offset those negatives at this point.

If you would have asked me when Frost was fired, no.  Now, I am getting very intrigued.  We went toe to toe with the favorites in the West.  Get a few breaks, maybe a hold on 15 for Purdue on 4th and 1, we legitimately have a chance to win.

We could do a lot worse.

We have proven that to be true...

[HuskerFever]

Even Frost can win 3 conference games a year. Unless he's the star recruiter and the missing piece to build accountability and a winning culture, it's likely an outside candidate will come in to take the reigns.

 

We've gone through many different experiments over the last decade or so, there's not much room to budge this time around.

[brfrad]

Mickey showed how overmatched he is today.  He stuck with the worst QB in the Big 10.  I thought Spencer Petras was the worst.  Chubba makes Spencer look like an All American.

[Huskerpapa]

...in addition, we may have the worse offensive line in the past 60 years at Nebraska.

The coaching staff decided to withdraw blackshirts this season, but they should also remove the use of the term "pipeline" when referencing this line.  They are an abomination. I truly believe that there isn't one offensive lineman that could start for another team in our league.  That IS NOT an exaggeration.

Hearing that a new coach will be annouced today.
