Stewart Mandel Prediction

[slattimer]

Potentially...he finishes 4-8...there's no potential. He gone.

So while I don’t blame him for assuming we will suck I really doubt he asked Mitch Sherman for a fully detailed breakdown of this year’s team.

7-5 is still my prediction.

 

[ChocaEgg]

Potentially...he finishes 4-8...there's no potential. He gone.

I think he'll be safe with four wins.

 

[cwessel76]

Potentially...he finishes 4-8...there's no potential. He gone.

Two reasons for some glimmer of optimism:

1. Hiring a competent, experienced OC like Whipple. Could be “Too little too late” but it’s a step in the right direction.

2. The defense has a chance to be special if the DL can come together.

Edit: Busch overseeing ST. That should be 1-2 games in our favor alone.

I think these national pundits have seen enough of scofro to think he'll live up to or (god forbid) exceed expectations. Many have said it for 4 years and now they are saying he's a 3-4-5 win coach until he proves otherwise. don't blame stewie at all.

 

[Kaladin]

Wrong what a dipshit

We win 8+ this year

Easy

Isn’t everyone always the coach they are until they prove otherwise?

 

[RedSavage]

He might not be wrong but he still will troll the shit out of NU fans for clicks

ya, but not a 3 to 5 win coach. some coaches are 8, 9, 10 or.... wait for it, even 11, 12 win coaches.

Backing off your 12 win prediction?

Agree with the Defense and what should be improved Special Teams.

#1 could be problematic with a new OC and QB. I'm anxious to see it in action but year one of significant changes like this can be difficult. I'd feel better if we had a good OL but we don't.

I think it's 6-6 with potential for 8-4.

Guess he has us beating Buttgers & Indianus in conference play?

Mitch Sherman Breakdown (from April)

Here's a tip for paywalled content: Inspect the page, hit the settings gear top right, scroll down and disable JavaScript and reload with the settings page still open... no more paywall

Is Nebraska closer to breakthrough or breakdown? For Scott Frost, a lot is on the line

If Huskers hold up in the trenches (and special teams), they could reach a bowl game with a manageable schedule. But those are big ifs.

Interesting note: "Frost, while handing control of the passing game to Whipple, maintains oversight of the ground attack."

I didn't know this, is this correct or just old/bad info?

I refuse to get mad about a prediction that our season will suck until we have a season that doesn’t suck.

I’m right there with you. I went with 7-5 to split the difference.

Could have simply tweeted "I'd like to piss off Nebraska today". Would have been much more direct.

It made me so angry I could puke 15-20 times

Yeah if they are half to going 4-8 then there will be an interim most of October and all of November

Gotta pump those numbers up
