Nebraska really needs to get back to, and improve upon, the stuff that made them a great team in the past. They need better plausible deniability and super steroids.
Tommie Frazier and Ahman Green ain’t walking through those doors. Hard to see Nebraska ever becoming a perennial national title contender again.

Clear out the jails and burn down every weight room in college football too!

Crazy how Nebraska is suddenly a regular team without having baked in advantage. It's like college football woke up and discovered a team in Nebraska had a competitive advantage.

Hey, I actually believe Suh hit a parked car at 4am on two separate occasions and alcohol wasn't involved in either incident. He is just a bad driver who never drinks and stays out until 4am.

Also buy out all media contracts then make sure they are one of only a handful of teams on TV and start fudging transcripts to get back to getting partial qualifiers back in.

This is pretty funny. Yes, I can see many an AD hanging up the phone and challenging themselves to be the best version of themselves. Thinking they got their man only to find out that they need to be multiple and find other candidates, in case they really don’t love the process.
"You know Trev first off I just want to say thank you for the call, it's great to speak with you and you know, wow, what a tough situation this past year was. You look at a guy like Coach Frost, who, let me just tell you quick is an amazing guy. Great guy and a great coach who I have tremendous respect for. But possibly from an attention to detail standpoint, maybe just not quite there yet, but that's just part of the evolution of this process.

How you can you be the best version of yourself? That's the question I ask myself, my staff, and my players every single day. If you can look at yourself in the mirror at the end of the day and tell yourself you busted your ass on every rep, every whistle, every slide breaking down film, then you're excelling in the ways that you need to in order to be successful individually. And then if you can do that, as a whole, you can be successful as a program. And that's the important thing Trev, because you know, you get a guy like Hunter Dekkers, or a Will McDonald, or a Jirehl Brock, and you all have to do the little things to get better every single day."

I wanted to go on but couldn't find the substance and started getting bored lol

Add payoff the local lawmen and a stranglehold on TV access to the list.

Hell TO would've been a ******* awful coach if he couldn't win with the advantages he had.

Toss scholarship limits on the pile too and also having a rot gut Kansas St team on the regular schedule too.

And this time we aren't letting Texas take away our partial qualifiers.

Personally, I think Nebraska's hatred for Texas stems almost completely from this.

1st Offense - Tom Osborne to police officer:
"Hey officer. Can you hold off on the breathalyzer for about (looks at handy drink tolerance and metabolism chart) 5 hours and 45 minutes? Ndamukong is emotionally stunned by this traumatic event and really needs some time to work through this with the help of our emotional support staff."

2nd Offense - Tom Osborne to police officer:
"Hey officer. Can you hold off on the breathalyzer for about (looks at handy drink tolerance and metabolism chart) 5 hours and 45 minutes? Ndamukong is emotionally stunned by this traumatic event and really needs some time to work through this with the help of our emotional support staff."

Officer's response: "That's what you said the first time."

Tom Osborne: "Do I really need to call the governor?"

To be fair, Ahman Green was from Omaha. If Omaha put out a kid of that level, he may still go to Nebby. Also, with Nebby being top 10 in NIL spending, they might be able to lure in running QB out of Florida.

Key here being that 'he' says 'Trev' at the beginning which seems to be the sign that he's annoyed as **** at the question.

I only theorize this because it seems like he only says 'Randy' during pressers, haha.

They will render money from their poors for NIL like no other state. Lot of kids gonna go without this Christmas because daddy took a trip to Ireland.

It has been 34 years since Notre Dame won their last title. It's been 25 years since Michigan has won a title and that was a gift because Nebraska would have killed them. Since Nebraska won their last title Ohio State has the only 2 titles for the Big 10. In the last 16 years the SEC has 13 titles. Times have changed since Nebraska dominated and unless you're in the SEC the chances are very slim you will be good enough to win a title in the future. Maybe USC or Ohio State have a magical year, but they are probably the only teams outside of the SEC capable.

That doesn't mean Nebraska can't be a very good team with double digit wins. They currently have more money than any of the teams residing in states next to them and that's while having the worst football they've had in a generation. The right coach will get them winning again and money will pour in and they can take advantage of that money through the NIL and transfers. Other teams around them just don't have the capability of bringing in that kind of cash and the way things are currently set up, cash is going to make a difference. The big question is, will the fans be satisfied with being very good but not having a realistic chance of a NC and will Nebraska be capable of making the right hire?

I 100% disagree with this take.

What made Nebraska so dominant in the 1990s and earlier are inherent advantages they will never have again: academic standards that are less strict than most community colleges (partial qualifiers); unlimited roster space and an attitude where players would rather sit on the Nebraska bench for 4 years than play anywhere else (scholarship limits); unparalleled S&C program (steroids), and regional dominance simply because every other program within hundreds of miles of them sucked - and because of that being put on television regularly, so everyone nationally knew who they were.

Nebraska is never getting those advantages over everyone else ever again. Which means that if they were going to build a respectable program there, they'd have to do it like everyone else. Is that possible? Of course... or, it would be, if the members of the cult of kNU were actually sane - which they're not. The first thing they'd have to get through their idiotic heads is it's not the 1980s anymore and they're never going to be an OSU-type program ever again - that ship has sailed. They simply don't have those advantages anymore. The best they'd ever be able to do is be a Wisconsin-like, Iowa-like, or MSU-like school, but that will never be good enough for that cult, not when they all think they should be the Nebraska from the 1980s. Second, even if they did accept that, they simply don't have the patience to build the program. Nebraska is at rock bottom and they don't even know it because there's no acceptance of reality there.

Until the kNU cult finally accepts what they really are, they will continue to be an irrelevant program.

Did any reporters ask MC at today's press conference about his interest in the Nebraska job, may have missed it if they did?

Steroids are what made Nebraska good back then.

Sounds like Campbell would rather coach at the Mt. Unions of the world than the Nebraskas.
Rumors I've heard are that Alberts may have thought about firing Frost after last year but boosters in the western part of the state said we won't give anymore money if that is done. I'm sure CMC would love to have put up with that crap.
