From 1962-2002, the Husker soccer program was the hallmark of stability. In these 41 years, Nebraska had a complete of three head coaches and three athletic administrators. That span additionally produced 5 nationwide championships, three Heisman winners, a number of Outland winners, a Butkus award winner and forty bowl recreation appearances.

Stability coupled with nice gamers and nice coaches made Nebraska a really robust workforce to beat throughout that point.

Distinction that to this offseason when Nebraska changed 5 assistant coaches who in flip introduced in 15 gamers by way of the switch portal.

It is attention-grabbing that a lot of those self same Husker followers who applauded stability when the Huskers had been steamrolling opponents now are nearly giddy over all of the offseason modifications.

That is comprehensible. Within the aftermath of final yr’s 3-9 season and the 4 earlier dropping Husker seasons one thing needed to be executed. If nothing modified with the Husker soccer program after 2021, it could have been the traditional definition of madness: doing the identical factor again and again and anticipating totally different outcomes.

Scott Frost needed to act and act shortly. He is aware of that change is a two-headed monster at occasions. However far too lots of the modifications Nebraska made out of 2002-2021 had been usually self-destructive. Throughout that point, the Huskers had 5 head coaches, 5 ADs, no Heisman winners, zero Outland winners, zero Butkus winners, zero nationwide championships, zero convention championships, 9 dropping seasons and 12 bowl recreation appearances (none since 2016).

The query is, are the modifications Frost & Firm made going to end in a a lot better workforce this fall?

The reply is…drumroll… Nobody is aware of.

We actually will not know till Nebraska will get into the meat of its ’22 schedule once they tackle the likes of Oklahoma, Michigan, Wisconsin, Purdue, Minnesota and Iowa. Oh, and let’s not overlook the Northwestern Wildcats in Dublin, Eire August twenty seventh.

Husker followers are hoping (praying) the Husker soccer program could have a minimum of a successful document. Possibly even 8 or 9 wins?

Summer season is a good time for dreaming. Simply sit again in your garden chair, shut your eyes and picture the Huskers going to a New Yr’s Day bowl recreation. The gang goes wild! Nebraska is again!

Hey, we are able to dream, cannot we?
