Watch out, Nebraska coming for Don Brown (not really)
Living in Huskerland I tend to peruse their message boards to keep informed on the team so I can at least converse somewhat in depth with collegues and friends. Apparently they fired (errr, "didn't renew the contract") of their DC yesterday. Reading through the coments on the Corn Nation post I found these gems by one of their users. In all fairness he got called out, but at the same time their fans are pretty darn delusional about their program nowadays.
The other guy to consider is Michigan’s Don Brown. We can buy him out no problem, and who would rather work for Harbaugh? No one. Michigan is a lesser program than ours. Get that guy in Lincoln and start making some championship defenses. We all know he’d look good in Husker Red.
If Riley’s smart he’ll go get Venables but I’d be okay with either Venables or Brown.
As for Don Brown, there is literally nothing that Michigan can offer him that we can’t. In fact we can offer him more. We’re Nebraska, while they’re just some overrated program with a psycho head coach. Our defense should be the best in the country every year, so go get Don Brown. Steal him from Michigan. Offer him more money. We shouldn’t just throw up our hands and say "Oh well, it can’t be done. They’ll never leave where they are. Why should we even try?" That’s bullshit. Complete, utter f—-ing bullshit. This is the Blackshirt Defense we’re talking about. Why aren’t we getting the best?? Every time someone argues against making progress it’s like you’re spitting in TO’s face.
Seriously, it’s time for our program to nut up or shut up.
You guys think Brown would go for it??? He makes a compelling case. /s
EDIT: Guys, this is all in good fun, some light internet ribbing. Of course we have fans like this, most fan bases do.

with the Nebraska fan base. They get quite upitty about sharing the 1997 title with us and love to shoot off their mouths about our head coach.

What ...the fuck.
Don't mess with my choldhood man.
I can't stop watching this.
January 12th, 2017 at 7:08 PM ^
When do we play these assclowns next?. I just want to see who the lesser program is!!.

Nut up or shut up.

you haven't spent any time with penn state fans lately.

Didn't Michigan beat them 49-10 this year with their only TD coming in garbage time?
January 12th, 2017 at 5:29 PM ^
You may have heard of this scandal that happened at PSU a little while ago, and how PSU fans are rather inclined to believe Joe Paterno knew nothing about it...
January 12th, 2017 at 9:43 PM ^
True talk time, most PSU fans aren't like that. You might have interacted with a very vocal minority, but I know many, many level headed PSU fans that want nothing to do with him.
January 12th, 2017 at 9:20 PM ^
Fuck Penn State and their pedophile-enabling, JoePa worshiping, fans.
January 12th, 2017 at 3:46 PM ^
They're going to make Nebraska great again. All the best coaches, all the best recruits and they will have so much winning that they may get bored with winning.
January 12th, 2017 at 9:23 PM ^
Rutgers?
January 12th, 2017 at 2:58 PM ^
Sounds like a Michigan fan ripping on Georgia for being a bad program.
January 12th, 2017 at 3:00 PM ^
January 12th, 2017 at 4:10 PM ^
They aren't a good program.

"I'd be ok with Venables or Brown." You mean two of the most well regarded/highest paid DC's in the country?
January 12th, 2017 at 3:25 PM ^
what a maroon.
The one thing that WOULD make sense about Venables moving to NU is the fact that he's a central plains kid - grew up in Kansas, played and coached at K-State, coached at OU before going to Clemson. With the success they're having at Clemson, though, I can't see him taking anything other than a head coaching position as his next gig.
January 12th, 2017 at 3:36 PM ^
It's for a head coaching job, not to be a DC for a school without it's own recruiting base.
January 12th, 2017 at 3:02 PM ^
Bo knows Nebraska football and he says....
Sure, whatever.
January 12th, 2017 at 3:03 PM ^
a couple of stupid fans does not mean their entire fanbase is delusional.
i'm pretty sure you could cherry pick quotes from the threads around here and make us sound like nuts, too.
January 12th, 2017 at 3:10 PM ^
January 13th, 2017 at 11:57 AM ^
but I can tell you living in Colorado I deal with Nebraska fans all the time and a high percentage of their fan base is pretty delusional.

It seems like Boiler Husker is the resident nutjob. The exchanges typically go something like this:
Boiler Husker: Michigan is a lesser program than ours.
Everyone else: "That's... debateable" and "and we haven't been relevant since 2001"
BH: "Venebles should leave for another challenge... there is literally nothing Michigan can offer him that we can't."
Everyone: "More delusional fantasies," "You seriously can't believe half the stuff you write," and "hottest of taeks"
BH: "Nebraska outclasses everyone in the Big Ten in matters of prestige, tradition, and national interest. Name one school in this conference that has a better stadium, better facilities, and better fans. Go on… I’ll wait."
Everyone: "Not a single coach would say it’s easier to win in NU over OSU, MU, and PSU. Lol get over your fan homerism and see the reality of the situation" and (ok, so this is from an osu fan, but I found it funny) "OSU. Any more brain busters?"
January 12th, 2017 at 3:16 PM ^
It looks like it's just one guy ("Boiler Husker") ranting about us and no one else taking the bait.
On another note, it's funny how everyone assumes that Les Miles must be a defensive guru since his LSU offenses were terrible.
January 12th, 2017 at 3:19 PM ^
Hence why I said "in all fairness he got called out", however this isn't too far off the actual mindset of many of the hundreds of Husker fans I know/interact with reglarly. They might not be of this magnitude, but many truly believe they could get one of the elite coaches to leave their current program for Nebraska if the AD would just try, and simply cannot see the reality that their program will likely never be more than an Iowa level program from now on due to the landscape change in college football.
January 13th, 2017 at 9:39 AM ^
People assume things like that a lot, especially with guys like Miles who have been around so long that nobody remembers that they were offensive coordinators before becoming head coaches.
January 12th, 2017 at 3:10 PM ^
Every fanbase has delusional layer. The internet makes them more visible and overrepresented. I still hold Nebraska fans in general in high regard.

This is what one of their bloggers said:
Michigan hasn’t won a national title since 1948 unless you include 1997 and we know what a farce that was. https://t.co/tDsRRgpYeQ

Yeah, the farce was Fulmer's bullshit vote in the coaches poll.
