Neb. is a top 30-60 team: now and forever

[Omaha 680]

If Nebraska hired Urban Meyer and he coached the Huskers to a B1G conference title in his first 3 years, I would be joyful. Most every HC will come with baggage and commit sins while coaching. Devaney has skeletons in his closet with Johnny Rodgers. Same with Tom Osborne and Lawrence Phillips. Maybe Scott Frost did not have any which might explain why his teams never defeated a ranked team. Bring on Urban Meyer and give him a chance at redemption!

Maybe we should have a poll. So far PBW and SU are on the record that you can't win unless you go easy on criminals on your team because the best talent is from poor neighborhoods and poor people obviously are gonna crime it up. Anyone else have this enlightened view?

Don't worry guys. Talking about Urban Meyer is a rite of passage for every coaching change. Doesn't mean it is likely.

If we somehow hired Urban Meyer I'm checking out for a while. Couldn't support that guy even at Nebraska.

Urban is a great coach, but who in their right mind defends his morality or motivation?

Urban has been a mediocre person for quite some time now. Go Kyle.

This is crazy talk. Can only be born of ugly anti-Ute tribalism. He was fired after half a season coaching an NFL team, so now he's a pariah. Bullshit. It's happened before. See, e.g., Nick Saban. Peter Carroll and Belichick were fired from their first NFL gigs. Some of his Florida players were arrested you say? Where do you think most great football players come from nowadays? Most of them are not Lebowski's neighbors in Alpine or the like. Nowadays football is mostly a way out for the poor, and virtually all of Urban Meyer's players were presented that opportunity and were better off for having played for him. Petty crime is poverty's handmaiden, which is why the death penalty used to be administered for stealing bread. And most of those were just arrests for petty offenses with no convictions or even charges filed.

Stop believing social media myths. You used to be smart. What happened to you?

Not everything is about the Utes, you weirdo. Like the rest of the country most of the time I don't even remember Urban coached at Utah. Every college coach deals with discipline issues and crime on their teams. But Meyer's history of coverups and excuses is gross, the worst of which didnt involve players but an alleged wife-beating assistant coach friend.

Looks like it won't be a last-minute, gut-wrenching loss today.

On the bright side, Nebraska had a good opening series. That's something to build on, no?

They played Oklahoma tight last year in Norman with a worse Nebraska team. The game was finally iced by one of the greatest interceptions ever made. Would not shock me at all to see Nebraska pull off an upset.

If that happens Frost may never coach again.

I don't think you'll have to worry about that.

Would be nice to have karma swing Nebraska's way with a victory over Oklahoma this week but it won't happen. Part of me wishes for an old-fashioned Sooner beat down where OU essentially names the final score. It is easier to endure that result than a game where OU plays poorly and Nebraska plays lights out only to lose in the final moments.

Honestly, the number of single digit Nebraska losses is recent years is mind-boggling. Like, it seems statistically impossible. I can't imagine what that must be like as a fan.
