You do realize he was playing for us, right?

Don't remember the game, only being 7 years old, but I remembered him playing QB. It's the next season I really remember following Husker football. Loved Van Bronson!

Not sure I approve. He was 2-18 passing against K-State in that 1968 debacle. Well, maybe he's a better coach than he was a quarterback.

Sounds like he would be a good hire. Here is a past interview. https://www.stitcher.com/show/tell-me-your-story-coach/episode/ep-24-ernie-zeigler-assistant-coach-at-mississippi-state-86377017

The guy I'm hearing is Ernie Zeigler. You might remember that name from when he was the coach at Central Michigan in 2011-12 as they came to play in the Bob during Doc's last year. At the time he was coaching his son Trey. Otherwise he's been an assistant under Ben Howland in three different places, most recently Mississippi St. (Ironically, David Anwar is one assistant who replaced him) He's known as a recruiter so it's a fairly high profile grab at this point if that's the hire.

Coach, I'm not seeing it.

I'll do you one better and call my shot that we finish 9th. Can't see us much higher than that but think that is doable.

It’s the offseason, so he can only talk. And this is his introduction to us Nebraska fans. I personally like the confidence. Making the NCAA tournament is certainly a team accomplishment he mentions. No need for us to project our collective frustration with our lack of success onto a young man who just committed to try and bring us success. Welcome to Nebraska, Juwan!
