Perhaps, but absolutely is way too definitive. Look at what happened to Mackenzie Milton. Football is a Spartan sport and Adrian will take more hits than your prototypical pocket passer.

Glad to see an acknowledgement that the O wasn't working. This shows some urgency about winning which I appreciate.

Seems pretty obvious that when something is not working very well and you don’t know how to fix it you bring in outside experts for advise. Common practice.

Holgerson has enough experience that he should be able to watch some film and the players in practice and call plays that play to their strengths. I'm betting he is also smart enough to stick with what's working until the other team stops it, and to develop some offensive rhythm.

Anything is better than Satterfield. But I don't know why we didn't go after the US Army's OC who only makes $190k and absolutely knows how to run the ball.

Because Army's OC can call the triple option and run the ball, but he probably doesn't know how to call for a pro-style quarterback. Plus it is very unlikely that Army's OC is going to jump ship right now the way their season is going. Maybe gets a look after the season if Holgerson doesn't stay.
Needed change for quite a many games. Our offensive & defense coordinators are being out smarted.

The habits of almost 2 years don't change overnight. That being said, A new , more forceful, high expectation coach, might be able to snap them awake and Go

My heart says yes, but my head says no. Are they capable? Absolutely, but we haven't seen enough consistency in any of the 3 phases of the game to warrant any confidence that we can win one of the last three games.

Why don't we recruit the Army's offensive coordinator who really know how to develop a running game? And he only makes $190,000 per year.

They have to fight for it. I will be honest and say it depends on which NU team shows up and that’s why I think it’s going to be tough. They could either win the last 3 games but they could also lose the last 3 games.

Nope...hate to say it but we need a dual threat at QB. It was worth the try, but DR is better off served playing for a program that best suits his drop back talent and at this point in time it's not here. We will drop all three and maybe giving Lincoln Riley two weeks to plan...it's not good !

Sadly, no, I don't think it will happen. There are just too many problems with every aspect of their game. Especially offense and special teams.

I am not hopeful that this team will win another game this year. Just about every phase of the game is sub par. We have clearly regressed as the season has unfolded. Don't forget how much Jeff Simms was hyped last year; how did that turn out. I don't have confidence in the coaching staff.

Of you look at his first year a the husker qb Martinez will only improve more and more as he plays as long as he can stay healthy
ReplyDuh
ReplyHis athleticism, good coaching, more offensive weapons at his disposal, improved offensive line, and improved defense and starting positions from improved special teams equals "better."
ReplyYour seeing history being made right before your eyes. Enjoy the ride!
Replyhe will be great because he has Nebraska fans and alumni wishing him well. The fact he leads our team makes him great.
ReplyThe gift of eyesight.
ReplyProvided he doesn't get injured . . . he has the physical skills and keeps cool under pressure.
ReplyHe already is great.
ReplyIf he stays healthy and has a full career here, he could be great.
ReplyI hope so.
Replybecause he has had more practice
ReplyIf he stays healthy
ReplyIf you look at A.M. stats compared to Clemson's Lawrence... His total yards are only 211 off and 5 TD's short.
