Husker DC Erik Chinander signs extension, earns raise to $850,000 for 2022

We certainly seem to have a fair amount of fans who have already done this.

That’s not a bad thing. It may prevent the firing of a future successful coach due to dreams of grandeur.

Seems so long ago where NU fans were national championship or bust. I’d say those went out the window by about 2002. 2 decades. Damn. Time flys.

Oh there’s no dreams of grandeur. The program and fans are well past that and closer to acceptance.

And that’s a good thing. Hopefully, this means they understand that sometimes the dream of a quick fix is a mirage.

We will get back to winning whether with this staff or another. But it hasn’t been easy and isn’t going to suddenly get easier. But the struggle will pay off.

Oh, and congrats to the basketball team for breaking their B1G win barrier.

It’s not easy now because we expect failing. It’s getting tougher and tougher because we have accepted it for years. We have failed into 3win seasons and that is what we have fans accepting.

What is really strange is the people that act really excited thinking we can get to .500

I'm not sure anyone would be excited at 6-6, other than it would at least be better than 3-9.

who wouldn't be excited about a bowl game after the long drought... I remember making fun of my brother who is a IA fan.. he used to be like that.. excited for a decent record and a bowl game..

I'd be excited about a bowl game and less disappointed than I was at 3, 4 or 5 wins.

It's definitely not the goal or an acceptable 'We're here' threshold. I'd like to see 8 next year, truth be told.

Majority of NU fans will be dancing in the streets with a .500 record next year.

I don't think you have a very good grasp of how the fanbase is feeling.

Just as much as you or anyone else.

I'm more curious if fans will believe 6-6 in year five is good enough to retain Frost.

I’m curious about you being curious if 6-6 in year five is enough to retain Frost.
