Nick Henrich commits to Nebraska

Iowa was 1-3 against Nebraska when Bo was the head coach. Who I would say was a decent coach.

We have the coach of the year.

You are going back to little brother status very fast.

So did we. His name was Todd Lickliter. Coach of the year doesnt always mean long term success. That said, I dont think Frost will ever be as bad as Lickliter and he probably wont be a bad coach at all.

But thanks for telling us about games that happened awhile ago.
 
Serious question for Iowa fans.

Do you think Pelini is a better head coach than Frost? Is so why?

Oh well. Wish he was a hawk but his heart must not have bled black and gold after all. That’s why I love AJ. Could have went anywhere and still chose Iowa. We have been doing great at developing lb’s so not as concerned as other positions.
Yep, wanted him to be a Hawk, but if not, I prefer him to go to Nebby over Wisky.

I'm not a UCF fan and no I don't think UCF was the NC last season. I do think they aggressive defense fits well with Frost's fast paced, high scoring offense. NU's D will give up points, but also create turnovers and in the end I'll take a 40-33 win over a 21-23 loss.

Nebraska and Iowa fans don't like each other...that makes it fun. But if Iowa fans seriously think that they'll stomp NU like they have under Riley they are in for a rude awakening. Frost will get this team turned around and competing for B1G West titles on the reg.
LOL

Pretty sure KF won that too. In a power conference. The one thing that makes me smile is Debbie fans crediting Oregon's success to Frost. Kelly really had no part in that. Same with UCF. Frost built that program from the ashes. Zero prior success. The best part for me is Debbie fans think they are going to dominate the entire B1G conference. Better than the OSU, PSU, Wisconsin. Gonna be fun.
 
Part of the issue also potentially relates to our LB development since '13. For a long time, when we had Norm Parker, our LB development was regularly competitive with Ohio State's in the Big Ten (for being the best). However, right now, given the hype and success that Wisconsin's LBs have had ... they're getting a lot more recognition from high school players these days.

From what I understand, both Nebraska and Wisconsin were higher on Heinrich's list than Iowa. Wisconsin has been building a reputation that makes them very attractive to LBs. As for Nebraska ... the energy and enthusiasm that Frost has brought back to the Huskers likely made them an incredibly difficult choice to pass up upon. Also, given that they're going to be operating within a 3-4 D (that we've yet to see) ... they can probably sell themselves like they're intending on becoming the next Wisconsin, attacking style D too.

Thus, the challenge for Seth Wallace is to make Iowa's LB unit regain the notoriety and reputation that they once had.
I'm not a huge follower of the NFL...question I have for the board, do many NFL teams use the 3-4 defense?
 
Prove that NU's defense will be good enough to win games? Or prove UCF's D wasn't soft like you implied?

I can't prove how NU's defense will be under Frost anymore than you can prove Iowa's defense can stop Frost's high powered offense. We'll find all that out over the next few seasons. Considering Frost has won and had top offenses at both Oregon and UCF it would be logically to see that continuing as NU can recruit as well or better than Oregon and especially UCF.
Transitive property isn't fool proof in sports.

Iowa was 1-3 vs Bo...

When Nebraska has a coach with a pulse Iowa loses. It is that simple.

If we have a good coach you generally get beat pretty badly.

Nor is conjecture. BTW there is no proof of future events. We can only look at the facts and make educated assumptions.

Maybe you'll answer this for me. I'm curious from an outside perspective. Who's a better head coach? Frost or Pelini...IYO of course.
 
I watched it. Auburn looked hungry and engaged.

Do you count this national title by Frost, or is this a “dirty” shared championship like IOWA’s national and conference titles?

Look dude, congrats on filling another scholly. Congrats on excitement. I’ll have to give you props when you are winning division championships like Wisconsin is right now.

Your focus should be on getting better at footballs. Bottom line. Nick may help in that. Congrats.
Ya Auburn was real pumped up to play Central Florida... they were all real excited when the bowl games were announced.

Frosty is just like that coach from Michigan. A sure fire winner. Oh, he's had 4 years and still can't win the east side or even beat tOS. Frosty will look good to you losers for a couple of years and then you'll be giddy over your next coach. Have a good night. :p

How is Frost like Hardballs? Also, do you think Pelini is a better HC than Frost and if so, why?

Prove it. Mike Riley “out recruited” Kirk and IOWA still slapped him around on the field.

Frost’s D’s have looked softer than a cake donut in every game I’ve watched.

Again, Prove it.

Don't worry you'll get your proof. BTW really really stupid comment about Riley outrecruiting Kirk...if Riley could out recruit Nick Saban he'd still be @ .500 coach. Iowa slapped Nebraska around the last few years becuase Riley is a terrible coach.

and we out talented them husker! wow, how many more beatings until you realzie this? we dont even need heinrich! linebackerU!
 
This reasoning is retarded. Of course Kelly built something great and Frost learned from him. Fact is, Oregon's offense continued to hum as with Frost calling plays. It's not an either or, it can be both. To take away credit from Frost is dumb. Same goes at UCF. Yes, they had prior success, but they also went 0-12 which is damn hard to do. Average teams don't go 0-12. To turn it around to a 13-0 and beat a really good Auburn team in the Sugar bowl points to Frost and his staff being damn good at what they do.

If Frost and Kirky hit the open market today, who do you think would get more attention from top programs around the country and why?
I don't call people retarded. I have a friend whose son has downs syndrome. Chip Kelly calls the plays. You know nothing. He will win the PAC 10 long before Frost wins the B1G. Frost didn't go from 0-12 to 13-0. He had a losing season first, just like he will this year. Prepare to defend yourself.

Generally? I’m chillin on three straight wins. EASY wins. You have no rivals, though.

I’ve heard that more IOWA shirts and stickers are present in NE than ever. Is this true? Reasons why?
Reading must be hard.

When Nebraska has a decent coach you are 1-3 against us (little brother status).

When Nebraska has a good coach we beat you so bad we make Gif of our Heisman QB running over your safety.

The last 3 years we had a awful coach. You hit on here. Mike was worse than dog s**t level when it came to being a coach.

We have Frost now.

So do you think Frost is better or worse than Bo?

I think you are going back to being little brother level. Where you win 1 game vs us maybe every 5 years. Maybe?

Not sure on who's the better head coach as I haven't been at their respective practices, player's meetings. etc. Let's take a peak at their assistant/head coaching (HC) experience levels. Frost (age 43) recently HC at UCF (I believe 2 years) in fertile recruiting land. Prior to that at Oregon (4 years) as WR/QB coaches and OC. Oregon has had some very good HCs, including Mike Belotti and Chip Kelly. Prior to that Frost was an assistant coach at University of Northern Iowa for a couple years. Bo Pelini (age 51) was HC at Nebby for about 7 years, previous to that d-coordinator at LSU, Oklahoma, and I believe Nebby. Therefore, Nebby probably should have know about Bo's volatility and abrasiveness when he was hired as HC, but he certainly has an experience factor over Frost and I think he was a solid d-coordinator. Time will tell who turns out to be the better HC. Regardless, I would take Ferentz any day over either due to his experience, class, and proven ability to be the CEO of a program that does things the right way.
