I think we continue to have culture issues to the extent that what we're doing isn't working. I think we need to revisit
how we recruit, and also possibly who we put on the field. Half the time I think we make mistakes because our guys are giving 200%, and that extra effort isn't producing results, it's actually producing mental errors. Maybe that's fixable with a different coaching style, but I think a lot of it is the players that we decide to put on the field and the values behind our program.
Put simply, "Nebraska football" now means
attitude over results.
Interestingly, we've now fired two coaches that
did produce results (Solich and Pelini), and we fired two other coaches the day they were hired (you can't tell the fanbase ever game Callahan or Riley an honest chance). And now we're stuck in some cargo cult (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult) trying to reproduce the 90s, and I don't think we're being very smart about it. We're building a program based on our impression of Nebraska 90s football, but what really defined the 90s was that we had winners in every corner of the program. We weren't "nice", we were winners. And until we build our program around results, and we select players based on results, and we give playing time to players that produce results, etc., we won't have a program that produces results.
