[Husker] No Linebackers?

[j j]

I dont believe he is over the top. I think you should believe you can win or what is the purpose of playing? He wants to get them to believe in themselves. He has to have every player believing that they can win or they will not. It would be over the top for us as fans to expect them to win every game but if a coach does not have his players believing they can win then he is not doing his job.

  Two parts to this message I want to address: First: I'm not sure how the defensive coaches can be bigger knuckleheads than I already think. Coz took some decent athletes and put them in a system where they had to "read and react" but the reads took too long so the players were already behind when they started to play. The worst defense in the history of Nebraska football says it all.

Second: I prefer to think of myself as a "realist" as I suggest 9 wins is both doable and the least acceptable number (no, I don't advocate firing anyone if we don't win 9 in year 1). Meanwhile, those who suggest 8 or fewer wins, I term "Pessimists."

Expecting a BCS game, while not impossible, I would consider optimistic.

Now Pelini may be over the top when he tells the players that if they don't believe they can win every game on the schedule, they should leave the program. But I like his attitude.

Its all in your perspective,

What we might also find out is that the coaching staff
might be even bigger knuckleheads than we already
think. Especially if the optimists who talk of nine
or ten wins turn out to be right.
