Nebraska is now 6-6 against Northwestern since joining the Big 10.

Nubb failing even when there free beer.

It's the turn of the century and you are at a Y2K themed NYE party. You find a slightly inebriated nubb fan who is living life high on the hog. In the last 10 years he has won 7 of the last 10 conference championships including 3 national titles, their worst season in that span they finished ranked 19th.

You tap him on the shoulder and whisper "Over the next 22 years you will fail to win a conference title, have a 5 season streak of missing bowl games. Your QB will even transfer to kstate for a chance to play in a bowl game...also you will go 6-6 against the wildcats"

He looks back at you and says "Ain't no way we would go .500 against those pussy cats, kstate is a flash in the pan"

You look him dead in the eye and day "No No No, not those wildcats, 6-6 against the Northwestern Wildcats"

That was a scary smart decision by Scott Frost to kick the onside kick. Frosty must’ve picked that up when he was a grad assistant for Ron prince.  Nothing like being up by 11 after scoring two quick touchdowns in the beginning of the first half and then giving Northwestern the short field and momentum

Has a coach ever been fired during the first game of the season?

This is so amazing

Jim Dickey got fired at halftime of the 2nd game of the season.

The Larry Travis hired . . . Stan Parrish

[KCFDcat]

You mean their completely dysfunctional program wasn’t Adrian’s fault???

It really shouldn’t have taken one more critical, forehead-slapping, oh-no-he-didn’t moment to convince Nebraska that Scott Frost cannot do the job of coaching the Cornhuskers. They should have realized that after last season, a 3–9 flop filled with creative ways to lose games that ran his career record at the school to 15–29. But just to make his deficiencies crystal clear, Frost produced his most spectacular act of self-sabotage yet Saturday.

Pat Forde has climbed upon Scott Frost and left a steaming pile of disrespect right on his chest. 

[Pete]

Oh man, Venzy is going to drive in the final nail.  THIS IS GOING TO BE SUPER FUN!

The path to firing Frost now appears fairly clear. His buyout drops from $15 million to $7.5 on Oct. 1, and the only thing that might save him now is upsetting Oklahoma in Lincoln Sept. 17. Between now and then are what should be two walkovers, against FCS North Dakota and Georgia Southern of the Sun Belt. There is an open date Sept. 24, then a home game against Indiana on Buyout Cutdown Day. If Nebraska is 2–2 or worse heading into October, Alberts can follow the trend of early firings or—again—let Frost try to prove something other than what his 45-game body of work shows.

I actually am a little disappointed that we have to wait until mid-october.

I’m actually kind of jealous of my Cornhusker brethren. Very rare do you get the enjoyment of coaching hot boards and a ride on the coaching carousel this early in the season 

From the Nebraska board:
Urban Meyer
Hugh Freeze - Liberty
Jeff Hafley - Boston College
Lance Leipold - Kansas
Luke Fickell - Cincy
Dave Aranda Baylor
Mark Stoops - KY
Jason Candle - Toledo
Jamey Chadwell - Coastal Carolina
PJ Fleck
Matt Campbell

Could be better for us that they start looking before the season ends.

That was my fear also, but if you go to their boards, they barely even mention Klieman. They honestly think they are too good for a coach with his Pedegree or lack there of in their minds

[Rage Against the McKee]

15-30. Has any coach ever had a worse win percentage after 45 games?

[OK_Cat]

I’m so excited for a Nebraska coaching search. They think that they are still a national power, so they’ll aim high and get rejected over and over again.

I was surprised at how much love Lance Leipold was getting. Dave Aranda was also very popular.

Pervin Liar getting the job and falling flat on his face — he wouldn’t — would be the ultimate Husker nut kick.

[HugeCat]

Dan Mullen, Gus Malzahn, Chip Kelly, Mike Leach, Mark Mangino, Mark Dantonio, Gary Patterson, Jim Tressel, Bobby Petrino, Art Briles, Les Miles, there are many guys that may want one more shot at reclamation . Depends on if you care about some shady past. If you want to just ignore why these guys were forced to step aside.


lol. Desperation is setting in, they’re willing to sell their soul to win football

[ben ji]

Nubb will 100% hire Urban Meyer(assuming he wants the job) and give him some silly Jimbo Fisher type contract 10 years 100 million all guaranteed.

In fact that is probably their best bet at staying relevant.

Do it nubb, DO IT

Pervin Liar getting the job and falling flat on his face — he wouldn’t

Jags fans were similarly certain, once upon a time.

If Scott Frost won his next 50 games, he would still have a worse record at Nebraska than Bo Pelini.

[MakeItRain]

woah!

All the assholery, none of the 9-4 seasons

Holy crap what a stat. How can that be real?
