I'll take the bait.... Jobs that are 100%, zero argument better than Nebraska:

USC, Oregon, Stanford, Texas, Oklahoma, Notre Lame, Clemson, Florida State, Miami, Penn State, Michigan, Ohio State, Alabama, LSU, A&M, Auburn, Georgia, Florida (18)

Jobs that most people think are better:
UCLA, Washington, Arizona State, Utah, Va Tech, UNC, Baylor, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Ole Miss, Tennessee, South Carolina (12)

That's 30.

Lots of others you could make a good argument for too...

It ain't 2001 anymore.

Lol Stanford? UNC? Ole Miss? Come on man.

Read the end of my post again... "It ain't 2001":

Stanford's had 6 top 12 finishes since 2010... Nebraska hasn't done that since 2001.
Ole Miss can get eLiTe recruits and has been to a NY6 game 3 of the last 8 years... Nebraska hasn't been to a BCS/NY6 bowl since (you guessed it) 2001.
UNC is probably fairly even with Nebraska.

Nebraska hasn't even finished a season ranked in 10 years. They haven't finished in the top 20 in 14 years.

What reality are you living in? @Dr. Shats Basoon

I think you are conflating recent on field success with attractiveness to top flight candidates. Nobody would argue the success factor, but there is a lot more that goes into it.

Sure... because it's 2022 not 2001 anymore. Things change. The advantages Nebraska had all went out the window with Solich. Baylor is a more attractive job than Nebraska which would be have been totally insane to say 10 years ago.

One more... over the last decade:

Overall 53-58
Conf 32-46

Pellini, Riley and Frost ain't Saban. But they also aren't total idiots. Each of them has had major success other places. That just tells you how shitty Nebraska is.

Things do change and right now Stanford is not very good and is in a shit conference with nerds who wont let you go croot anyone you want.

It is hardly a top 25 job. I mean look at any list you want to compiled by non Stanford fans and it won't be on there.

Still a great school and a program to be proud of, but it's not a top 25 jerb to most people.

I'd argue they are a top 25 job but whatever it doesn't really matter. The institutional and fan support is elite. NIL money is top tier. The division of their conference is maybe the weakest of all the power conferences; The recruiting base isn't good but they have still been consistently pulling in the best classes in the Big Ten West. The job is attractive enough to get a solid coach, and a solid coach could win at a decent clip there.

You guys are vastly underestimating the appeal of TEH BLUE BLOODS. Michigan has won half a title since 1948 and hasn’t accomplished anything in CROOTS’ lifetimes that MSU hasn’t accomplished (in fact even less) and they still get tons of talent. Nebraska has been downright bad for nearly a decade and they still had CROOT classes ranked in the top 25 from 2018-2021 at least (not gonna look any further). I’m sure their financial investment in football is incredibly high so they likely have amazing facilities. They have a great stadium, etc. etc. It’s not gonna be the mid-90s again but Nebraska would have zero issue getting to Wisconsin/Michigan/MSU levels if they get an actual good coach.

I think they just had 2 rather solid coaches and neither won there. It's going to take a very good coach to win there. The talent isn't anywhere to where it was before too...

They're not even top 30 in terms of NASHNUL players: https://fightingirishwire.usatoday....homa-notre-dame-michigan-penn-iowa-wisconsin/

That list isn't the end-all, be-all but you could argue they're on the same level as places like Kentucky, Cincinnati, NC State based off of recent results + number of NASHNUL players. No program has fallen further in the last 10-15 years.

Exactly. Look at tennessee! They have sucked for two decades and still pull in top 10 recruiting classes regularly. Top 15-20 every year even at their worst.

Ok I just texted Trev Alberts and told him to fold the program. No point in continuing to field a team since they will never return to their previous high of best program in the country

Nebraska is definitely the biggest TRAP job in the country! The delusional fan base, history, funding, and expectations are all a huge trap because the CROOTS aren’t gonna click! You’ll continue to get the 1-2 good corn fed husker state players and then have to compete nationally for the rest… which means recruiting classes in the 30s on average.

It’s a top 50 job with top 10 expectations lol.

And lol at bruin228 cherry picking the recruiting class data and ending before Brasky fell off a cliff. In the last five years they barely crack the top 25 and drop as low as 41!

I can understand saying it’s a top 25 prestige job… but you couple that with the insane expectations and it has to lower it?

The fans still get so distraught at the EMBARRASSMENT of losing to teams like Iowa who are BENEATH them… despite the fact that Iowa is 8-2 against them the last decade, lol. At this point, beating Iowa should be viewed as a near miracle, but if a Husker coach does manage it, the fans will probably complain about the score being too close…. Because in the good ol’ days you beat Iowa 42-7 every year

I know every fan base has a bias in their expectations, but with Brasky you could take the average fan predictions and subtract 5 wins to be accurate!

Miami still gets CROOTS and they suck

It's a similar problem to Miami, for sure. I think Miami is a bit different through all the 30 for 30 things, the tail end of Ed Reed, the turnova chain and the one good year under Richt. But at the end of the day, as they pump money into the program the facilities are in South Beach and not Nebraska.

But yeah, very similar problem to Miami, that's why it came to mind.

Kudos to Nebraska getting into B1G when they did, program would be toast otherwise.

It’s exactly the same as Miami except for the fact that there are like 100 top croots you could hit with a rock from the practice field in Miami.

Miami just has a weird disconnect between the school and footbaw program, also the opposite of Brasky.
