Doesn’t matter who’s coaching, their ship has long sailed. The single biggest factor in a college team’s success is recruiting and they don’t have that advantage like they did, nor do they get the glut of extra players.
Kids growing up in Florida, Jersey, Texas, California, etc weren’t even born the last time Nebraska was an elite program. There’s zero reason for 4 star kids to come to their shit sandwich school. Lincoln, NE when you could play in a warm climate or for a school like OSU or Washington, or any other number of schools? Even with their new Baby Jesus Frost there’s nothing that’s going to draw kids in.
They’re on their fifth coach since “Mr. Davis” was sweeping criminals under the rug (I’d say “I’m looking at you, Lawrence Phillips,” but...well, you know...), they didn’t make a bowl this year, and they’ve dropped 4 out of the last 5 to lowly Iowa, not to mention the non P-5 losses.
You think that ginger is going to come in there and make them respectable again? No way.
