Probably would’ve/could’ve helped us stop Minnesota from breaking off some of those huge runs and kept us in the game.

Starting to feel like we just have to accept that what we’ve seen the last ten years is reality.

There’s a reason that we are constantly battling with Minnesota and Northwestern and not remotely a threat to a better team. Maybe this is just what this program is now. Maybe, unfortunately, those are now our peer programs.

A few years ago we were looking longingly at Wisconsin when they were always in the national conversation and a threat to win the conference or at least make the title game. Now we look up at Cockeye and imagine if we could be where they are, in the tier just outside of relevance, that would be an improvement.

We’ve tried all kinds of different coaches and ADs. We’ve thrown money at assistants. We got a 5 star qb. But the program stubbornly remains in the big ten’s lower middle class.

The consistency of the mediocrity across regimes is probably trying to tell us something at some point.

It’s not

We just need to do what all the other blue bloods have in down times:

Cycle through coaching staffs until we hit again

Good news is winners win right away. So it will continue to be obvious both ways (like it has been with the losers we’ve hired since Bo).

Anyone who says it takes time ect ect ect is trying to convince themselves against actual time tested reality

Just wish we’d stop extending losers for no reason and stomping on our own toes

And then we cry that we don’t have any NIL money. Would you donate to a program that just throws your money at a new coach every two years.? That is not sustainable and a good way to run it into the ground in my opinion.

You’ve got LL coming back and he is better than average. He’s our current starter and has been really good this year. Markway coming back (maybe 🤞🏻) along with Carter Nelson (don’t give up on him), Ingwerson, and Sorensen coming in. Is your suggestion that we should have 7 scholarship TEs on the roster?

Where is Hunter going?

Cunanan doesn’t have an elite leg but he’s accurate. He’s been the best we’ve had a PK in quite some time, there’s no need to replace him.

Again, relying on Markway given his injury history is a mistake. It hurt us this year. I think Ingwerson will end up at OT, Nelson hasn't shown anything yet, and Sorenson will be a tFr.

You do make a good point about the #s though, 2 TE is too many, and TE is less of a need than most of the other positions. Still would like to see us try to improve the position but understandable if we don't pursue anyone there.

No doubt

I also think we need to let Holgorsen have full rein over his offense. This shit looks way way way too similar to Satterfense for me to think he’s actually being allowed to design/call the offense he was an expert at for all those years

We need to stop forcing manball. We don’t have physical advantage there and it hasn’t been an effective strategy since Rhule got here. My biggest complaint with his tenure here. Let Holgs go full Holgs.

Dillingham is winning games with Jeff Sims. We have not been running a QB friendly system for 3 years.

I don't know the phrase manball but I agree anyway. Haha

Agree that we haven’t seen the true Holgs offense. Think it’s been a Rhule run heavy hybrid.

I’d like to see (if we aren’t) 100% Holgs offense.

Question that itches the back of the brain revolves around can our current o-line provide protections required…or…does his full offense mask our o-line deficiencies and allow for success. Probably somewhere in the middle.

I also believe that in the B1G you have to be able to consistently run the ball effectively.

Meanwhile, here in reality
Pelini: 7 years
Riley: 3 years
Fraud: 5 years
Rhule: will probably get 5 years
