Ok, slam me all you want, but he can't be worse than Gr-Egghead. Winning 75% of our games would make us a playoff team. Nebraska didn't give him much of a chance to institute his own system. All the old coaches retired at the same time and he was stuck with new guys who were clueless. The defense turned it around this season and looked like the old blackshirts. They won 9 games, and he still got fired. :mad:
