We have a stud QB and big name Defensive coordinator. Think 2003 but with a better offense. That and someone had to vote over here.

At this point it would require a miracle. Too many pieces of the puzzle missing.

Nebraska needs a unique offense and a tough defense. Not a vanilla prostyle offense.

Riley has yet to win anything of value as a head coach in American football. I would be surprised if his regular season record at Nebraska after 2018 is 29-19 or better.

I really think the current coach Riley is too comfortable with losing. He is a great person, and is knowledgeable, but a winner wins - look at what Harbaugh has done at Michigan in the same mount of time. We will see.

Because we get out-recruited year after year. NU is just another team these days. The sellout record is all that's left of a once great program. That will end soon as well.

The good news is Neb always has the schedule to win a national championship. But they must stop doing the same things in terms of recruiting, facilities, and coaching expecting different results. I love their recruiting now but there are many facits to success.

I feel we are headed in the right direction, but we will need 2-3 years to get there. I expect only 7-9 wins this coming season.

we might compete in some years, and fall off in other years. to me elite means year in and year out, and that won't ever happen. fan base and admin won't allow for a 25 year tenure in coaching any more....

It's a process. We are on our way in the right direction with Riley and Co. at the helm. It all starts with the return on Blackshirt-caliber defense.

If they are coming to NU "now". It can only help. Maybe run a "slanting" defense and catch them "off guard"!!! Stuff the "run"!!! GBR!!!

Only up from here. Good to have a system for a team and not just a few players.

On the defense I think you will increased intensity, like 2024. The offense line coaching should have been changed sooner, at least Rhule got someone with experience and proven quality development & execution.

Just not confident in Matt anymore. Why he makes millions of $ and has now had 7 coordinators and it's everybody else's fault and he keeps his job?. I've been a fan since the early 60s and now am more concerned about the program than ever before.

Does Emmett Johnson's departure mean Nebraska needs a running back from the portal for 2026?

Yes - The roster lacks proven producers.

No - Ample talent is already on board.

We have talent in the room. They will have the same learning curve that Emmett had. He was an average back at the beginning of last season and look how he blossomed. That said, if a solid back is available, take him of course

Nebraska is a 3rd Tier team in the BIG 10 and an after thought nationally and our expectations for recruiting should reflect that. With the powers in the BIG 10 nationally Nebraska's "good old days..." are just. Swept into the dust bin of what once was...Sorry, but...it's the truth as I see it.
