Deace called this hire a dumpster fire 4 years ago. He was right.

No offense to Deace and his expertise - but most people with even a beat on B1G football called it a dumpster fire hire at the start. It made no sense to hire a 62 year old coach who never won anything of note at his previous job and had absolutely no ties to the area, conference or school.

They probably won't lose to Rutgers but I wouldn't be surprised if Illinois beats them. Illinois played them really tough last year, leading thru 3 quarters.

Yup, the anti-Bo. Besides the daily Scott Frost worship hour more level heads across the Missouri have talked about Dan Mullen as the "name" coach to go after. Another name is Washington's OC. But I don't believe any other than Frost have Midwest connections. Amazing that of all the players to go through the Husker system so many see Scotty as their Harbaugh or Meyer. I would have to think there'd be a slew of former players who've gone into coaching more qualified right now to take the job.
 
They sure aren't very good at spotting and hiring good coaches that's for sure. From one extreme to the other. Lol

He was 61 at the time. The whole thing smelled bad. As an Iowa fan I find their misery hilarious.

Stoops is another name those idiots keep tossing around.

Like Bob F'ing Stoops is going to leave Oklahoma to come to that tire fire of a program in Lincoln.

This is the kind of delusion we're dealing with folks. They are seriously like those Heaven's Gate wackos waiting for their spaceship to home take them up to God.

Dont ever think the ego of a Stoops or other high profile coach is above trying to rebuild a downtrodden but former major program. these coaches have such high egos that the redundancy of being 10-2 is boring and they want the challenge of rebuilding and going 14-0.

Saw a funny comment from a Bug Eater yesterday. The discussion was about kicking Riley to the curb and this guy chimes in with... "I know we have a deep donor base but, Jesus H. Christ, do we have enough money to pay three coaches all at once?"

Hopefully the trend will continue...until...Iowa fans flocking to Lincoln for the Iowa/Husker game will help keep the "sold out" streak alive for them...

It's been like that since they joined.... I think NU fans have pretty much been appalled by how many Hawkeye fans have filled their stadiums for football AND basketball. It's been an eye opener I imagine.

Once you get sucked into reading the lunacy you can't stop. It's like an inside look into some strange cult that you know is going to end up on CNN after ritually drinking poisoned Kool Aid because their prophecies never came true. We just hope they don't take their children with them.

It's like a baaaad accident, I just can't stop watching.

One of my coworkers actually said "Eichorst is from Wisconsin, he's probably trying to actually ruin the program." I think some Husker fans seriously need medication.

Yea, because That's so healthy for one's career. When chit goes downhill, those people dig for any excuse. Sad and pathetic.

Ok, imagine another AJ Epenesa on the other end at the same time, or the front line with all 4*. It would be nice, wouldn't it!? We celebrate our 4* when we get them but for some reason they don't matter much when other teams have them. BS!! I wonder what KF would do with a team loaded with 4* and some 5* players. That is what you deal with when you play the Ohio St and Alabama's of the world. There is a difference.

In actuality KF probably works harder than Saban or Urban Meyer even does. He has to really work to recruit the best players then develop them over time. The learning curve is much less when starting with 4* and 5* players. They come in with the better size and technical play. This is evident with Epenesa and how he is already playing on the line. This is why teams like Ohio State and Alabama can just reload with plug-n-play players. It's such a luxury.

The star system has more to do with having a college-ready body than technical play. Plenty of 4 stars are lacking in good technique and fundamentals, due to the fact they had better size and really didn't need technique in HS. Just look at Nebraska, they get a lot more 4 stars than Iowa does.
