If we keep dicking around like this, then we will ultimately transition from being Nebraska Football to Minnesota Football with the glory years so long ago that no one remembers (or cares).
Chris Collins

- Start date
Crean ticked somebody off because we won the league the year before he was fired. Archie and Woody did not sniff that kind of success.
Crean was our Bo Pelini.
Archie and Woodson are Scott Frost.
Matt Rhule could possibly be our next coach.
**Disclaimer** I’ve read the Nebraska Football forum, Husker board for the last 7 years. The similarities are frightening.
Win the off season.
Every game prediction - win
Every loss - we are horrible. Fire the coach
We are cursed.
Next game. We are Nebraska. We are college football. Prediction. Win.
Then lose - we are dumb. No fundamentals. Poorly coached.
Iowa fan gives Nebraska fan sh!t.
Nebraska fan - your wins are meaningless because you don’t have 5 national championships from 30 years ago.
Iowa goes 8-4 and goes to a bowl. Every year
Nebraska goes 4-8. Every year.
It’s frightening.

Interesting. I didn't know he coached there. Winning at Northwestern is a huge hurdle.
Collins has certainly been the best they've had in decades. The thing I like about his teams is they play pretty good basketball. They tend to have serious size/talent gaps on the front line but Collins has blended players well and continues to recruit shooters, and guys who play to win. It's no longer a laughing stock. Teams take them seriously.
Minnesota is the laughing stock now. Ben Johnson has been terrible.
Collins is the future Parseghian of college basketball now. That's an interesting POV.
Everyone was pleased after 2013. It took him too long, but he got there. Then he messed it all up. There was no reason to struggle in 14,15 and 17 other than due to his poor management of the program, second guessing in games, and oversigning.
But it was unique to go into 2012 and 2013 with so much experience. The guys had played all game for about 4 years. And they finally had enough of losing and figured it out.
Crean had it....then he lost it.
2016 was a fun season though.
Have you ever driven north from Northwestern up Sheridan Road? There’s no ride like in all of Indiana, let alone Bloomington.
I suppose it depends what you like.
Not sure there’s much that compares to the beauty of southern Indiana in the fall when all the leaves are changing. If you’re turned on by punishing winters, access to crime ridden Chicago, high taxes, and overpriced real estate, then the North Shore for you.
What’s missing on the Ara records above is that he beat ND 4 straight years, so they up and hired him. One of those seasons, NU was briefly ranked number 1. Ara felt under appreciated at NU, especially by their administration, considering what he’d accomplished. Believe it was his last season, but they ended on a 3 or 4 game losing streak. Ara felt he’d done about all he could there.
I recall seeing an interview with him talking about his clandestine meeting with Father Hesburgh at a hotel restaurant I was actually familiar with on the south side by the Museum of Science and Industry. That’s where they got the deal done.

No reason to believe Scheyer won’t still be coaching at Duke for the next 25 years. Collins will be in the old folks home by then.
Yeah, you can’t walk the streets of Kenilworth without fearing for your life.
Dumb.
Compared to Woodson, who himself is trash burning hot inside of a dumpster for 4 years.
LOL, Time to Bump…
I’m sure CCC, his staff with his former HS coach, Brian James at Glenbrook North, now his Asst Head Coach, Chris Lowery and BMac might have come up with something a little better than what Woody and his band of “Yes men” came up with. They actually beat MD.

Kennilworth is beautiful and one of the highest $$ place in the country. I referenced access to Chicago and the rising crime there so not sure what Kenilworth had to do with my post. But since we are playing “what about“ there are also safe neighborhoods with multi-million dollar homes around Bloomington. Collins has roots in the north suburbs from his father coaching the Bulls.
Maybe we’ll have shot if he’s tired of Eating Mustard’s Last Stand for the last 12 years on Central St, right off the NU Stadium West lot. 😉
There is nothing in Indiana that compares to the North Shore. It’s not just about multi million dollar homes. It’s the old real estate adage: location, location, location. Mrs. Collins would castrate her husband if he tried to move his family to Bloomington.
It’s meh. Cold, dirty lake, towns feel like anywhere nice. I guess if someone loves old money living it’s good for them.
He’d crawl to Bloomington for this opportunity.
Yeah, because the dining options in Bloomington are better than in Chicago. Good call.
Great analysis. In 120 years of Northwestern basketball, Collins is the best coach they've ever had. His teams are physical, and sound on both ends of the court. Something IU hasn't had since RMK.
Wait, I thought all you trolls were only here when Purdue is in discussion and not to troll. Unless...
Yeah, because when coaches are looking for jobs, a top consideration is often “dining options.”
Trying to hype up the North Shore, which is just some boring affluent suburbs, is a funny angle for a PU fan with IU on their mind.
My point remains. The family Collins would never leave their quality of life on the North Shore for Bloomington, Indiana. No one who has experienced both would. That doesn’t mean Bloomington is bad. It’s just not in the same stratosphere as the quality of life on the North Shore.
lmao I’ve never heard someone worship such a mid bunch of affluent suburbs.
You're high. It may be that he'd not want to leave because he loves the area and life, or his kids/family like it and are important, but he's a coach first and most want to test themselves and beat their peers. Hard to do at NW. I think he'd be interested in many jobs that would better position him to compete nationally.
Perhaps what you identify as “worship” is merely your slip showing. With a little hard work and gumption, you could work your way up to the North Shore. You could easily become some sort of village shop worker serving the fine people of the North Shore. Here, we appreciate the working class and pay a living wage.
N Shore is great if you like traffic. I had a couple of Frat Bros from Kenilworth which is one of the nicer areas on the N Shore. Very nice but getting anywhere else is a bitch.
I like CC, he has done a nice job with NW and I respect him for standing up to the Edey bullshit we all watched for two seasons. Don't know if he is the best option compared to Dusty...but I hope they at least talk to him.
I'm retired, which gives me a lot of optionality on where to live, and it sure as hell wouldn't be the North Shore lol. Cold, dirty lake, boring with nothing going on.
Is this really Mrs. Collins? If you’re happy in your neighborhood please stay there. Average insecure people feel self assured when looking down on everyone else while feeling smarter, richer, or funnier while reality suggests otherwise.
Hm, negative attitudes such as yours are more tolerated by the rural folk west of Green Bay Road. You’d be best served seeking employment in Glenview or Northfield. They’re more tolerant of the impertinent tone that often accompanies the ill-bred. The denizens of Sheridan Road expect more.
Lived in Evanston, lived in Chicago, lived in Bloomington and a few other places. I’ll take Bloomington.
