Good, they can eat [Craig James] for all I care. They should have never left the Big XII and have suffered dearly for it. Last year, they didn't sign a single recruit from TX. This was the first time this happened since the early 80s. They have lost their pipeline into the Lone Star State and I they can EAD for all I care. Firing Frank Solich after a 9-3 season shows how far those elitists are off their rockers. He brought them 3 10+ win seasons in 6 years. Yeah, we can do better. Serves them right. Darn Tom Osborne and Darn Nebraska!
TO and NU fans had nothing to do with Solich's dismissal -- that was purely the act of the megalomaniacal AD and his snooty chancellor, both of whom are long gone. But the blow was almost fatal, and I think NU might have recovered if not for the disastrous decision to move to the B1G. Believe me, very few NU fans really support that move, and a lot -- maybe the majority -- would love to be back in the B12 again.
Current coach is a retread from Oregon State, for God's sake, and is in his 60s. Current AD is cordially loathed by most fans as well after lackluster hires in football and men's basketball, and running off a great wbb coach because she chewed out some snowflakes for lack of effort. Whole program is in a nosedive and most think it won't recover as long as it stays in the B1G, where it's never been able to recruit well.
