I had a mediocre year.  By Husker standards, that's a Pelini type 9-3 or 9-4 record

A Pelini type 9-3 or 9-4 means you cussed out the mail man and at least two cashiers/wait staff folks

2016/2017 was a 7-5 year for me, I'll admit.  I was stagnating in my role, disinterested, and looking to make a change.

In November of 2017 I did make a move within the company.  My new role is more interesting, more challenging, higher profile, more directly related to the success of the company, and just by good fortune it also pays better.  So far I'm on about a 10-2 trajectory to finish out 2018, which feels great, but it could end up even better than that.  Things are really great right now.

So, I didn't get fired at that 7-5 level, but if I turned in three or four years worth of that type of performance, I'd likely be shuffled off the team or out of the company via layoffs.  At least in my field, the "real world" isn't that different from coaching, and I'm not making $2M-$8M per year for my efforts.  Just sayin...

Heh. Still not exactly. If it was, you'd be going to a new job where in most cases, you'd be expected to go somewhere in 3-9 to 7-5. Then you'd build up. It's also not quite as zero-sum (your stagnation didn't directly, tangibly boost up everyone around you for the most part). And of course in the real world, we neither make big money, nor do we have leverage to work long-term concessions from employers. 
What we're talking about here is the feeling that a record engenders. Which is something interesting and powerful in its own right. There's some universal elements, as we can acknowledge 8-4 or 9-3 get us past certain bars of competence in most spots, but of course 10-3 to an OSU fan gets you fired, and 7-5 in Illinois will hold you for a few years.

The Toledo upset over the Hawgs was pretty sweet.



King Barry fared a lot better against the Buckets than Bert did.
Barry did. If y'all could please trade Urbs for Cooper, that could start up again.

Yeah, but with a big-time buyout, if you were a coach... 
Great way to say goodbye. "Sorry for the years of 7-5 performance, but you still owe me the next four years salary."

Cooper was the only OSU coach he beat. 1-3.

0-1 against Fickell, with one of his best teams.

You mean Tress, not Cooper. 
Barry was 1-4-1 vs. Cooper, 3-1 vs Tress. He caught Tress’ two worst teams, once with one of his worst teams.

I was there for the win and the tie vs. Cooper. The win was with Herbstreit under center ('92). The tie ('93)...Ohio State blocked the field goal attempt as time expired. Sigh. What a game, though.

I was at the 2009 game, though it took me a while to confirm it because I remember it as a close game, but the final was 31-13. Two pick-6s and a kick off return for a touchdown made a blowout out of a game that numbers-wise Wisconsin looked pretty good in (Ohio State had 184 yards of total offense and eight first downs; Wisconsin was at 368/22, and had the ball for more than 42 minutes). Bielema's call for a fake field goal was brilliant (in the first half, when the game was still close--on a day that the kicker missed two other field goal attempts).
