who comes here? Seriously? Anyone? [crickets].

That's what I thought. All the top tier coaches already have top tier jobs... Al Golden? Stretch. Gary Patterson. Possibility, doubt he'd leave TCU. Who else? Peterson? Not likely.

The fact is that we'd have to with someone unproven anyway and hope he's a Pete Carol (Without the cheating).

The negativity is astounding... It's funny... it's luck if we come back to win... but if the other team comes back to win it's bad coaching? It's luck when the other team drops INTs, but it's coaching when we drop INTs. It's luck if the other team muffs a punt that leads to a big play, it's coaching if we do it. It's luck if the opposing team has a personal foul penalty changing momentum and negating a big play, it's coaching if we do it. You can't have it both ways.

I think your wrong. If I'm away its because I have things to do. I am here win or lose.

And where in this world does everyone agree? Point it out to me. Please? And I have seen the majority of this board agree with the, what you call negative, this season.

Not at all, I just remember the rumors from last year is all.

Really?

Sorry, but no, he is not.

IF someone was as close to the program as he has stated, then Bo simply wouldn't be our coach right now.

What MK knows is people tied to the program due to Milt Tenopir. Nothing more, nothing less. He knows former coaches and former players. We all hear their grand input on a myriad of radio shows and statements that have been made over the past 5 years.

Milt is our former 'all world' OL coach that wanted to give input into our OL blocking and schemes. Our current staff acknowledged his outreach, but didn't feel they needed to go down that road because we aren't running an I-Formation Power Running offense. No coaching staff needs former caoches looking over their shoulder for input regardless of what anybody may want to believe.

Milt is nothing more than a disgruntled former OL coach with a great legacy to his credit, but in reality is a man whose opinion isn't really relevant anymore.

Could he teach Barney and crew how to block a Zone Read? No. He could teach them how to teach trap blocking and power running, but we don't do that right now. At least not that much that it would make much difference. It isn't what we are right now. Barney and Garrison are good enough to coach that kind of stuff, it is the stretch and zone blocking schemes that we are looking to run that they need some help.

Be very careful in what you are led to believe is 'inside' information regarding Husker football. You listen to Jason Peter enough, and you would think we are in dead last in the Big 10 right now and as far away from competing for a Rose Bowl bid that we were Iowa.

There are some things that MK says are very worthy. There are also many things that are hearsay from 3rd source and put into a negative fashion. There aren't many people outside of the coaching staff that know Bo personally, nor any of our current coaching staff that any 'insider' could talk to on a regular fashion to get an honest input. That, I am 100% positive about.

Our current coaching staff is as tight-lipped towards outsiders as we have ever seen at Nebraska in the hisory of our program. Anybody claiming 'negative inside information' is either hearing it from the Athletic Department, former coaches, former players, or current disgruntled players, or are spinning into what they want to hear or say.

But hey, what do I know?

This is so true. For all the clamoring about "inside" information, there really is none. Bo keeps his own counsel. What you hear on all the boards from "insiders" may be from inside the program, but it is almost never from Bo himself and it is quite often inaccurate. I have even found that those that watch practices come away with impressions that are not correct.

If the "pot stirrers" want a little more respect for their opinions, I suggest they wait for the next loss. That way you won't sound like you're giving a eulogy at a wedding.

There's a time for everything, and there's a few people who are utterly clueless in that regard.

P. S. milt used a ton of zone blocking. A ton

A ton?

No. He didn't. Please point directly to a single game in which we used zone blocking outside of the option part of our offense. Which is a stretch as well.

The option game wasn't zone blocking back in his day. It was pulling and getting to the 2nd level with your Center and Guards unless they were pulling.

You can call it zone blocking all you want, but it isn't stretch play zone blocking or anything close to being zone blocking in the zone read running game.

He used inside zone blocking all the time. Straight from his mouth

Your telling me that you don't think Milt could coach in this offense. Really?

That is outright silly

Now that is probably the most real and honest opinion you have ever given, and I completely agree.

Perlman is on the hook right now. Anybody that hasn't noticed that he has been around since the Solich and Pederson days is completely blind to the overall situation.

I've always been completely taken back as to how he has come out of all of the past 12 years with some kind of shiny record as our Chancellor. Somehow the whole Pederson hire that was recommended and approved by our current AD, was also approved by our current Chancellor. Our current Chancellor also had the ultimate decision on firing Solich.

How he has escaped criticism this long is baffling to say the least. Especially for a former chair of the BCS.

Milt was arguable the greatest OL coach in college football history, he could coach just fine in this offense.

A hole?

Sometimes people are too close to realize the reality of the situation from a former 'great'. Especially if a guy in on your Board of Directors.

Milt is far from being untouchable as you would like to think.

How is Uncle Milty doing by the way? Always liked the guy, and he can sure weave a tale.
