Do we really need to dive into why Urban gets a free pass?
Or Warinner for that matter?
Some pieces to the puzzle....
- Not everyone wanted Herman fired, I didn't - though I did think he needed to take another step up to elite, and he did
- Not everyone wanted Fickell fired... though I admit I wanted to see some kind of change after 2013, and that was resolved with Withers
- There's no comparison here to Herman imo. It wasn't just 1 game, it was an entire season. And he's not only failed as a playcaller, but as a position coach.
- There is some comparison to Fickell, but nobody really knew who was to blame there and it was resolved by letting go of a guy. We know which guy is the problem this time.
- QBs regressed big time, QB coach is... Tim Beck
- As much as the offense is Urban's, he's delegated playcalling the entire time he's been here... playcalling was terrible the entire year... not just 1 game... Tim Beck
- Two standup players who have been nothing but a class act essentially called Beck out after 2 different games... does not bode well for his future here. When he's even lost the locker room, looks like a lame duck coach imo.
- As much as I gave him the benefit of the doubt (and Alex can attest to this), at the end of the day the similarities between what Nebraska fans saw and what we saw this year are very consistent
