First, my apologies on the absence. It got difficult to continue to write things when people you had relationships with were in a bit of flux and turmoil. Frankly anything I wrote would have been a guess anyway as I was just assuming how Busch would change the defense or how Whipple would do thingsContinue reading “Nebraska and NIL”

My reaction to the Chinander firing
Well, down goes another UCF connection, as we learned on Sunday that Interim HC Mickey Joseph fired Nebraska and Scott Frost’s DC. First, let me go a bit “ugh” with this. Part of me just wonders what on earth we are going to accomplish doing this. As Alberts said, we fired Frost for the kidsContinue reading “My reaction to the Chinander firing”
My thoughts on the dismissal of Frost
Before we get into it, don’t forget we had two posts today! Our Friday toilet reading: https://herbieshangout.com/2022/09/16/friday-toilet-readings-9-16/ After the game this past Saturday, there was something weird in the air. The October 1st date was well known by everyone, but something was wrong. We had just lost to a team we paid 1.4 million dollarsContinue reading “My thoughts on the dismissal of Frost”
Coaching Candidates
I always hesitated to speculate on who we would get if we fired Frost. It just seemed odd to talk about since I knew multiple people working in Lincoln and wanted them to succeed. Alberts pulled the rip cord yesterday earlier than I thought he would, but losing to Northwestern first game, tied at halftimeContinue reading “Coaching Candidates”
William Watson Commit
Nebraska picked up their 2023 QB commit last night in 5.6 three star William Watson out of Massachusetts. He was the player of the year in the state, and he has been a 3 year starter for his team. Whipple coming from that area obviously had a good connection with him and liked what heContinue reading “William Watson Commit”
Riley news, I think I figured out NIL, and Omaha Recruiting getting an uptick
First, let’s start with the Riley news. We learned over the weekend that Jordon Riley was entering his name into the transfer portal. It of course sparked numerous opinions such as “good let’s see what Hutmacher can do” or “we play mostly an even front anyway” which always leave me scratching my head. I alwaysContinue reading “Riley news, I think I figured out NIL, and Omaha Recruiting getting an uptick”
Thank you, New Hires, NIL, and how does Nebraska keep pace?
First, I wanted to give a quick thank you to all of you. Donations on the “donate to the cause” are not mandatory, but they certainly help make this worth it. Quite frankly, I started this site because I wanted to prove to myself I could when I was kicked off the other site, andContinue reading “Thank you, New Hires, NIL, and how does Nebraska keep pace?”
Staff Moves and Portal Talk
While we aren’t done with the staff moves, the news about Tuioti is starting to help paint a clearer picture for us with what is going on. This will effectively lead the way for Dawson to slide back down to coach DL, and Bill Busch to take over as OLB coach and also help withContinue reading “Staff Moves and Portal Talk”
2022 Recruiting Class Recap
The first signing period for the 2022 recruiting class has came to a close. There’s a lot to like within who signed, as the usual suspects on staff helped clean up to remove us from complete disaster. Travis Fisher did work as he always does to stock his room and create great competition, and aContinue reading “2022 Recruiting Class Recap”
Trev will be right no matter what, and should location play a part in what scheme you run?
Trev Alberts handled last week about as good as anyone who isn’t sure on their head coach could. I believe that Trev Alberts is in the same spot I am… The results so far show that Frost isn’t going to get it done, but I need to be 100% certain that is the case ifContinue reading “Trev will be right no matter what, and should location play a part in what scheme you run?”
