Still wouldn't see it as Davies sucked. Anyway.

I believe Austin Scott has already put in his transfer request, and will start next week. And I also think Ty Willingham recruited most of this year's defense, so this season officially doesn't count, even though it is not before 1980 and the team isn't on probation, which are the normal criteria for Miami seasons not counting.

Nice to hear your thoughts on the matter. It is a mess in Cornhusker country. Navy guy is a good head coach. He has his team disciplined. However; military academy, If a new coach is coming in I hope it utilizes the players that the former coach has recruited for.

Nebraska AD Pederson paved own way out

Tom Osborne speaks during a news conference in Lincoln, Neb., Tuesday, Oct. 16, 2007. Nebraska is bringing back football coaching icon Tom Osborne to run its athletic department. Chancellor Harvey Perlman made the announcement at a Tuesday news conference, 24 hours after firing Steve Pederson as athletic director. The 70-year-old Osborne returns 10 years after finishing a celebrated coaching career that culminated with three national championships in his last four seasons.
The epitaph, for better or worse, was set in stone on Nov. 30, 2003.
``I refuse to let this program gravitate to mediocrity.''
And with those words, then-Nebraska athletic director Steve Pederson fired a coach -- Frank Solich -- completing his fifth nine-win season in six years.
In Big Red Country, that now passes for the good ol' days. And not even the return of Tom Osborne offers the promise of an enduring fix.

Maybe I was wrong comparing Nebraska to Notre Dame. Perhaps Arkansas is a more apt comparison?
Quote:
OMAHA, Neb. -- Nebraska interim athletic director Tom Osborne responded Thursday to reports that football coach Bill Callahan said the former coach was "trying to run things from Washington" while he was a U.S. congressman.
Callahan allegedly called Osborne a "crusty old [expletive]," according to former Nebraska football trainer Doak Ostergard, who is quoted in a book to be self-published by a student at the University of Nebraska.
...
In a statement Thursday, Callahan didn't deny the reported comments, but said he's had a great deal of respect for Osborne since he started coaching.
...
Ostergard didn't immediately return a message left by The Associated Press on Thursday. He told the Omaha World-Herald Wednesday that the book was accurate.

A lot of anti-Pederson stories coming out, mostly from ex-players who are being refused the degree of access to which they were accustomed - access they hope is now restored.
Quote:
With Pederson leading the athletic department, members of Nebraska's 'N' Club – a group of former football letterwinners – said they often felt ignored and without a voice.
All-Americans and Hall of Famers would stroll the hallways surrounding the coaching offices and notice their photos had been removed from the wall and replaced by pictures of current team members – some of whom contributed to a 5-6 record in 2004.
They said they were made to feel unwelcome when they wanted to use the team weight room, and if someone like Peter or Outland Trophy winner Aaron Taylor wanted to watch a practice? Forget it.
"I'm a little different," said Rodgers, the Heisman winner. "I could still do some stuff, but even I had to push. And if I had to push, that pretty much tells you everyone else had no chance.
"It wasn't an accident. That's the way Steve wanted it to be. He wanted a whole new deal. He didn't want to use the support of former players and coaches, and that's a shame. These are the guys that helped build the program. That's not ever going to change. It's not right to shun them. They made a huge contribution."

Like Arkansas or like ND? Maybe it was uniquely like Nebraska, or a hybrid, Nebrarska Dame?
