[Husker] Re: All Big XII Team (fwd)

[Fred Palmer]

I know you want to drive your point into the ground.

But.....it is also true that poor coaching can keep talented players from
winning such honors, and has.    A personable coach on a team that's
struggling will go out of his way to try to earn influence for players on
his team that he thinks deserve honors despite the teams record.

I agree, this is definitely the chicken-and-egg argument.
