I really need to rant about a certain narrative. Mods, feel free to take down immediately

Look, I get we havent been good in a HOT minute; only one .500 season since the start of the Mike Riley era. And it makes me sick to my stomach just repeating that, and it makes me sick that despite our best team in years we still might not hit that this year.

BUT why the absolute fuck is there this narrative outside of the Husker fanbase that firing Bo was the fucking problem. Firing Bo is absolutely the major event that divides our competent era and whatever the past 7 seasons have been, I’m not disagreeing with that. But how does hiring a coach who never helped develop one player since 2008 and thought practice was optional get absolute fuck all blame for 2015-2018 (I know Frost took over in 18, but even Saban with Lombardi, Landry, and TO couldnt do anything with that team in that short amount of time). How does Shawn Eichorst get absolutely zero blame (again, outside of Nebraska) for hiring a lethargic, retirement home hunter for the sole fact that he was nice. Frost gets charred enough by everyone, so I’ll just leave him out of this for now, but fucking christ.

No for sure, Keighdan from Cedar Rapids, you are one-hundred percent right that firing a continuous 9-4 coach who constantly got blown out in any game that mattered is the reason we’re not division contenders anymore. I’m sure you totally think Georgia and LSU are crying in their wads of hundreds over Richt and Les. Oh thanks for calling in, T-Bob Herbert from Ypsilanti. And thank you for going on and on about how great Bo’s defense was and how terrible we’ve been on D since. Oh sorry, T-Bob, we lost connection for a second; Melvin Gordon just scored another fucking touchdown, and that’ll make THREE HUNDRED FUCKING FIFTY FUCKING RUSHING YARDS IN TWO GOD DAMN QUARTERS. Yeah, I sure fucking miss that defense. I’m sure he would do so fucking well if he had the talent of a defending national champion and only had to focus on defense, definitely isn’t getting fired after one year as a DC his first year back in the FBS.

We have had a ton, an absolute TON, of issues since December 2014, and a lot of them have been on Frost. But oh my fucking god, can we end this national narrative that if we still had Bo we would be just sooooooo much better right now?

AND IT’S FUCKING -12 DEGREES RIGHT NOW IN THIS GODDAMN STATE
