Apparently they retained Tom Herman, even after a loss to a winless unranked TCU squad. 

That must suck.

and Klatt is a colorado Buffy asshat
He's chosen to go the Skip Bayless route....which gets eyeballs.  Eyerolls, too, but eyeballs.

I think player development is an underrated skill in coaches. It's why guys like Ferentz and Dantonio were so successful, despite never pulling all "blue chip" recruits. They were able to identify talent, keep the pipeline full, so that when guys were upperclassmen they were ready to contribute. In short, they were actually coached up over a period of 4-5 years. 

We see all sorts of coaches/programs who squander talent. They recruit, but they never win to the level that they should given the talent they have. I'm thinking of pretty much every Notre Dame coach in recent memory. Results never actually match their recruiting. 

When you get a coach who can do both, like a Saban or a Meyer, then you've got a dynasty on your hands.

Wisconsin is another example of development, and perhaps Georgia is a counter example (recruit high, develop low?).

Maybe I'm too hard on UGA, they have been close to an NC three times in the past decade or so.  Missed it by THIS much.

It's a tough business.

I think Florida could be an example of doing both, we'll see.  Michigan may not be.

I left Wisconsin off the list because of their gimmick offense.

I remember at least a couple games with Husker fumbles on the one yard line that the Horns won

gonna have to pay for those sooner or later
Really?  Which ones? I don't recall any Texas-Nebraska games that ended that way.

Plenty of OTHER heartbreaking manners of loss for the Huskers, but I don't recall that method in particular.

from the 1999 game in Austin................. forgive me, it was the 2 yard line

HUSKER DROP THE BALL AGAINST LONGHORNS
A major turnaround in the second half allowed Texas to keep Nebraska’s number as the No. 18 Longhorns defeated the third-tanked Huskers 24-20.

Texas quarterback Major Applewhite shook off a poor opening 30 minutes to complete 8 of 9 passes for 166 yards and two touchdowns in the second half as the Longhorns knocked Nebraska from the ranks of the unbeaten.

Applewhite found tight end Mike Jones with an 18-yard scoring strike with 5:51 to play. and the defense held tough down the stretch as the Longhorns defeated the Cornhuskers for the third time in as many meetings since the two joined the Big 12 Conference.

Nebraska outyarded Texas by 429-275 but lost three fumbles while the Longhorns played turnover-free football. Perhaps the most costly fumble came early in the fourth quarter when Correll Buckhalter lost the ball on the Texas 2-yard line on 3rd-and-goal run.

Oh okay,  I thought you were talking about last-second turnovers that decided the game.

maybe not last second, but Texas was out of timeouts on a 3rd down conversion with a little over 2 minutes to go

_________________________________________________ ____

2006 Sharkwater Party in Lincoln


With three minutes left in the game, it looked like Nebraska was going to secure its first win over Texas since 1999. Not only did the Huskers own a 20-19 lead, but the first snowfall of the season began right after NU's go-ahead touchdown and the Blackshirts had stopped Texas on the ensuing drive to give NU the ball back with the lead.

But a fumble after a completed pass on third down by NU gave Texas the ball in Husker territory with 2:17 left. Texas drove to the Husker 5, and Bailey kicked UT's third 22-yard field goal of the game as the brief snowfall stopped falling inside Memorial Stadium.

Before the kick, each of the school-record 85,187 fans in Memorial Stadium and the fans watching the ABC national telecast at home, had plenty of reasons to think the UT kick would be unsuccessful.

Not only did Greg Johnson misfire on a pair of relatively short field goals earlier in the game to keep the Huskers within striking distance, but the Huskers had also blocked an extra point to keep a total of seven Longhorn points off the board.

Or possibly the 2002 game that Burnt Eyes attended...........

Horns win 27 - 24

Cornerback Nathan Vasher intercepted Lord's pass at the Texas 1-yard line with 10 seconds remaining in the game Saturday, sending the seventh-ranked Longhorns to a 27-24 victory before a record Memorial Stadium crowd of 78,268.

The loss ended the nation's longest home winning streak at 26 games. Nebraska had not lost at home since falling in October of 1998 to -- you guessed it -- Texas.

"All in all, it's a learning experience," said Lord, a junior from Bayonne, N.J., in his first season as starter. "The next time I get in that situation at the end, hopefully the outcome will be different. I have to move on."

Problem is Skip is avoidable.  They stick Klatt in the booth for big games and jam his idiocy down your throat.
