He struggled in recruiting and the D line's performance was pathetic on getting pressure on the quarterbacks that they played against this year and The players did not buy into his coaching Philosophy

When you don't recruit any D lineman you reap what you sow.

We were top 10 against the run. It wasn't obvious until the very end that he was failing on the Recruiting Trail. so if anyone says they saw it coming, they're full of it.

never heard of the guy till he was fired, but glad he is gone. Seems like he wasn't earning his $300,000 salary

Not saying I'm surprised... But, I just didn't realize there was any problem there. But, once I started looking at the information that is "out there", I can see why they might be wanting to make a change.

I thought because of stopping the rush all was alright, but who am I to know.

I am not privy to any inside information and I don't speculate on how well anyone is doing as a result. In other words I don't pretend to know what I don't know to feel like a big shot lol! It does look like a good move after the facts that were released came out.

Pass rush is but one part of DL play. They stopped the run effectively and contained most scrambles. The blitz packages or lack thereof fall on Banker, not Hughes.

Because he was not the weak point in the pass defense.

Considering that roughly 90 teams would be "tough" for Nebraska these days, I think you have to schedule tough teams. There wouldn't be a lot to choose from otherwise. Those lower level cupcakes are being scheduled by other teams too.

The NFL has a pre season and nebraska should look at it like that. Get the players ready for the season. Conference play. Its a good way to build depth and get experience. They play toigh enough teams in the Big10 not to have to play them outside of the Conference.

Roy makes a valid point below. I also want to add that until the SEC goes to 9 conference games AND the selection committee starts putting more weight into the strength of schedule, we should keep scheduling cupcakes for non-conference games.

Nebraska needs time to develop game ready players before heading into the big ten.
