>>63145475Not really. Yes, his overall record was great, ~.713 winning percentage, but he was 9-14 against teams that were ranked in the Top 25.
And the majority of those losses were embarrassing blowouts.
E.g. 52-17 Mizzou, 62-28 OU, 63-38 OSU, 70-31 Wisc, 59-24 Wisc.
The 2009 Big 12 Championship game he should have won with the defense he had that year, but I can give him a pass on that because of the fucking 1 second being put back on the clock.
The 2010 Championship game, however, I blame him entirely for losing. Nebraska was up 17 to fucking 0 in the second quarter before letting OU right back in the game, going up 20-17 at half. And then they don't score a single point the entire second half? Fuck that.
The 2012 B1GCG I had to turn off at halftime because they were down 42-10 against a Wisconsin team he had beaten already that season. Fucking pathetic.
He could not game plan in the games that mattered to save his life, and even if he could, he couldn't make adjustments to save his life either.
And he was a fucking shitty recruiter. The main reason why now Nebraska's two-deep across all positions are 25% walk-ons. It's ridiculous.
