Sean Payton says no more personal QB coach for Russell Wilson in Denver…why the hell was there one in the first place? Feb 07, 2023

Show notes

-We’ve known of QB coaches like Steve Calhoun in the past who worked with Nebraska QBs in the offseason, but not during the season. Why would any athlete view themselves above an organization?

-Isn’t that kind of what it feels like with Wilson? You wonder why it seemed like players didn’t respect him this year….with handlers, a personal QB coach…how could a team allow that?

-Is there anyone that should ever have that type of privilege? Has Coach Busch or Sip seen it before?

Tom Brady’s retirement has started as predictably weird as you thought it might Feb 07, 2023

Show notes

-Brady caught a lot of people off guard yesterday when he posted a picture of himself sitting down on his bed in only briefs---which of course he followed up with to promote the ‘Brady Brand.’ Did he need to pose pretty much nude?

-Also, SONG OF THE DAY (sponsored by Sartor Hamann Jewelers):

Kevin Steele is back at Alabama as their defensive coordinator…do people remember how important he was back in his time at Nebraska? Feb 07, 2023

Show notes

-Steele is back at Alabama for his 3rd different stint there, taking over now as Nick Saban’s defensive coordinator. He was the LB coach at Nebraska from 1989-94…how important was he? Sip and Coach Busch remember

-He never really made it as a head coach, with a bad stretch at Baylor…are you surprised that never worked out for him in that capacity?

Iowa just released some new hilarious stipulations for Brian Ferentz…what are the best ones that Coach Busch ever encountered for himself or other coaches? Feb 07, 2023

Show notes

-Embattled Iowa OC Brian Ferentz was retained for next year despite much disdain from the fanbase, and his ‘punishment’ for a bad year this year is great: a $50K decrease in salary (down to $850K), and a performance objective of an average of 25 points per game and at least 7 wins

-Are they going to require 25 offensive points per game or 25 points total?

-Interesting they’d put wins in there, since the defense/special teams is critical in most Iowa wins…has Coach Busch seen or been part of any weird stipulations for incentives in contracts?

Did the Carolina Panthers GM’s criticism of Matt Rhule come off as a compliment for what he can do in college? / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe) Feb 06, 2023

Show notes

-David Tepper said when he hired Frank Reich that the hire of Matt Rhule was a mistake, because he was a CEO-type, and not something his staff needed. Former Panther Steve Smith was also critical of Rhule

-Why is so different for the NFL than college football? We saw Urban Meyer fail epically, too.

When is a talented athlete with big-time baggage worth the risk? Feb 06, 2023

Show notes

-The news of Kyrie Irving’s trade from the Nets to the Mavericks yesterday got Jake thinking about players in the past at Nebraska and the headaches they caused despite having great talent

-Coach Busch has seen this firsthand throughout his coaching career on the recruiting trail and also during the season….how do the great coaches and teams deal with it?

-Nebraska had a great lesson with it with Maurice Washington, who we knew had baggage coming in and left with baggage, but showed his talent while he was here

Why is there a faction of people that want nothing to do with Tom Osborne? Feb 06, 2023

Show notes

-Sip wrote about it over the weekend how it’s nice to see that Matt Rhule is embracing the wisdom of Osborne and all that he did for Nebraska, but wrote that a lot of people don’t want to hear about Osborne anymore

-It’s not like his name is brought up everyday, but apparently some don’t want to hear about him at all…why the disdain for a legend?

Nebrasketball ends a 4-game losing streak and takes down Penn State, 72-63, on Sunday at PBA Feb 06, 2023

Show notes

-Keisei Tominaga scored 30 points, the 3rd most points in a B1G conference game in Nebraska basketball history. It wasn’t just 3-pointers, though, as he had several good cuts and got layups on them

-Derrick Walker bounced back after a couple rough games and played well, with good passes and good decisions in general

-Also, Tom Shatel mentioned Nebraska should hire an associate AD for basketball….isn’t that what Marc Boehm was for all those unsuccessful years of Husker hoops?
