Nebraska is bad at football

...And they desperately need to go back to the Big XII. The B1G move has been about as bad a conference move as it could have gone. Like on par with U Mass from FCS to FBS, but worse. They are no longer a national brand. They are on par with Rutgers. How the mighty have fallen.

I think a move back to the Big XII would help. It's good that Texas left, bad that Oklahoma left, but Nebraska going back there would be a win-win and keep P5 respect for the conference.

They are so much of a dumpster fire right now they wouldn’t do any better in the BXII competition wise. Additionally they would take a huge revenue hit leaving behind the B10 money.

Not sure what the answer is in Lincoln. Sad to see.

I think they should keep doing what they're doing and let guys like Easton Stick, Kyle Emanuel, Christian Dudzik, Jalen Allison, Nick DeLuca, and Cole Payton come up to Fargo to play ball.

Nebraska would be fools to move back to a conference that is imploding and will soon fall from the ranks of the Power conference and may dissolve completely.

Nebraska's issues have nothing to do with the Big Ten and actually predate their move to the conference. Their slide started when they were in the Big 12 and fired Frank Solich after a 10 win season for Bill Callahan. They then compounded the issue by firing Bo Pelini when all he did was consistently win 9+ games a season. Scott Frost was a bad hire you could see coming a mile away if you were paying attention. Nebraska just needs to make a solid coaching hire and temper their expectations so as not to run their next coach off when they hit a bumpy patch.

Nebraska is a cautionary tale about an awesome but spoiled fanbase that killed their own program.

I think the Big XII will be fine.

I did not see Frost being a bad hire. I am curious - what were the signs? Honestly, I thought he would elevate Nebraska back to national title contender. I was obviously wrong.

Then there is this comment... Seems like he got the shot at this because he was Nebraska alumni that won them a championship in his playing days. You'd think he would understand the fan base and using program history to his advantage. Can't imagine this comment sits well with the big boosters in year 4...

I saw that the other day and just shook my head. MAYBE that's something you say as a high school coach but you can't say that as a college coach at any level.

What does that even mean?

I'm imagining, "Ok guys, we have a plan. As long as they don't line up in a certain formation, we will execute our plan. ...Crap, they lined up in that formation."
