Back to the ninety seven? 171 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 3: It's betting mentioned with the top four. 172 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 5: It's been a process, you know, and and I don't 173 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 5: like to talk about what happened here before, but Nebraska 174 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 5: was always one of the elite programs in the country. 175 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 5: That's not where we found it when we came back, 176 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 5: and it's been a process to try to build it back, 177 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 5: you know. And that's culture, that's talent, that's a hundred things. 178 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 5: And we had a good enough team last year to 179 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 5: win every game we played. We didn't and that's on 180 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 5: all of us to do a little bit better. But 181 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 5: the progress is undeniable, and I think everybody that watched 182 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 5: this last year can see how close we are to 183 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 5: being a good team. And now it's up to us 184 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 5: to put the little missing pieces and ingredients and to 185 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 5: make sure it gets there. 186 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 3: What have you seen on a spring practice this year 187 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 3: to last year that's maybe shown that promise that you're 188 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 3: looking forward to. 189 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 5: There's so much enthusiasm excitement around this right now, and 190 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 5: a lot of it is because, you know, there's a 191 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 5: chip on our shoulders because of how it all went 192 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 5: last year. The guys that are back, no, we were 193 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 5: good enough to win those games, and so there's a 194 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 5: real motivation there. We've also added some new coaches and 195 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 5: new players. You know, you guys sat with Casey and 196 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 5: there's been a just kind of an energizing movement from 197 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 5: those guys. It's kind of invigorated all of us just 198 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 5: to have new faces around here. 199 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 2: And the guys are hungry. 200 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 5: So the effort is awesome on the field, and we 201 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 5: still got a long way to go, but we're seeing 202 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 5: a lot of good. 203 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: Things being Scott Frost in Nebraska. And it's such an 204 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: easy asking question to say, you know, what's it gonna 205 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: take to get back to the nineties and this and that? 206 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,239 Speaker 1: Do you fucking hate that question? 207 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 2: By now? 208 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: No, this is a great show to be honest on too. 209 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: Like we have a little fun I. 210 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 5: Mean, that's my job is to do that, and so 211 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 5: that's what I think about all day long anyway, So 212 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 5: if somebody asked me, they're just catching me mid thought, 213 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,719 Speaker 5: you know. But you know, this place wasn't what it 214 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 5: was once coach Soltz left. Frankly, Coach Polini did an 215 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 5: awesome job and he doesn't get the credit he deserves. 216 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 2: But you know, it's been on a downside for a while, you. 217 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 5: Know, Will the every great program in the country has 218 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,559 Speaker 5: gone through a downturn and it's just hard to recapture. 219 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 5: If you never lose it, it's a lot easier. It's 220 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 5: like getting out of shape when you're old. Like if 221 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 5: you never stop working out, you're fine. But coach Frost 222 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 5: can't hurt squatting. 223 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I hurt myself, Squad. 224 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 5: That's a tough deal. So it's the down hill for you. 225 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 5: Like I'm fighting back, You're fighting back. I'm fighting back. 226 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 2: God, you know. 227 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 5: But this has been a process and I think about 228 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 5: it all the time. 229 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 2: You know. 230 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 5: For us to be a lead again, NIL has really 231 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 5: got to take shape in Nebraska. 232 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 2: We got to be able to recruit a little better. 233 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 2: You got to catch. 234 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 5: Momentum where you have a good year, and then you 235 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 5: recruit better and have another good year. 236 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 2: Uh. 237 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 5: This is as good as college town as there is 238 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 5: in the country. We have the best fan based in 239 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,719 Speaker 5: the country. Like he said, we have all the resources. 240 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 5: It's just a matter of getting the wind in our 241 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 5: sales again. 242 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 2: Uh. 243 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 5: And it's not going to be a giant leap. It's 244 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 5: gonna it's gonna be a steady climb. 245 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: Coach Chin's like when he talks about finding the advantages 246 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: and like recruiting, whether it be an il like because 247 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 1: being a player here, you know, the the shtick is 248 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: always when you're in those recruiting meetings, right, like, if 249 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: we can get the player here and they see the facilities, 250 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: you guys are obviously building what is it a two 251 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,199 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars facility out there? 252 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 4: Ye? 253 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: Like, what are the areas that you want to really 254 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: dive into? It seems like it's gonna it's its facilities 255 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: in an IL. 256 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 2: Yeah. 257 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 4: I think those are two of the you know, major 258 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 4: sticking points. But it's also the people at Nebraska and 259 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 4: like Coach Frost said, the resources from nutrition to strength 260 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 4: and conditioning, to academic support to life skills as you know, 261 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 4: as a player here. Nil is going to be huge 262 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 4: for us. The new facility is going to be huge, 263 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 4: and then you know, it's as you've seen as the 264 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 4: team's grown, like Coach Frost talked about, it's, you know, 265 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 4: really taking care of that five hundred mile radius, getting 266 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 4: those players here, starting with that base, and then adding 267 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 4: some really good players from across the country. We've always 268 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 4: been a national recruiting brand from back when coaches talking 269 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 4: about the nineties to all the way until now. So 270 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 4: it's really starting with those local guys. I would consider 271 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 4: it all that five hundred mile area, that local guys, 272 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,599 Speaker 4: and then getting some pieces from across the country. And 273 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 4: we want to target the best ones in the country 274 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 4: that we can right now, especially with those those things 275 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 4: you mentioned. 276 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 2: How long how long until that new facility is all done? 277 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 5: I think next summer, So we'll go through this entire 278 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 5: the year and springball next year and move in before 279 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 5: the twenty three. 280 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,319 Speaker 2: US are sharing those renditions with the new recruits and 281 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 2: everything like that. 282 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, they see them, and very soon we'll be 283 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 5: able to walk them through it with hard hats on 284 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 5: and explain where they're going to be living for the 285 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:17,199 Speaker 5: next four years. 286 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's outstanding. The facilities are pretty unbelievable. I love 287 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 3: the weight room, the locker room. It seems like a 288 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 3: really close knit group like family. The equipment guys get 289 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 3: along with the guys who are the trainers, and it 290 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 3: just seems like everyone's kind of like put together around here. 291 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 3: Everyone cares and is all pushing the cart towards the 292 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 3: same direct. 293 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 2: That's why we'll mentioned it. 294 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 5: But when we get kids on campus and they come 295 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 5: see it, we got a great chance to get them. Yeah, 296 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 5: And part of that is honestly just people's impression versus 297 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 5: the reality of what Lincoln Nebraska's like. We get kids 298 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 5: from Florida that they think they're going to come up 299 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 5: and there's a stadium in the middle of a cornfield somewhere. 300 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 5: I see Lincoln, and those kids sit on my couch 301 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 5: and say, man, coach, this is awesome. 302 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 2: I didn't always anything like this. 303 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 5: But we're also far away from a lot of those 304 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 5: recruiting pockets. So when we get the link and we 305 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 5: got a great shot. 306 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, So how like, what's the process like trying to 307 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 3: get these kids? Like you've ver eye on somebody who's 308 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 3: in Florida, Pokey Florida. How like, how do you pitch 309 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 3: them to come to Pokey Flora's little little spot. Now 310 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 3: the monk saying the muck, but yeah, that place is wild, 311 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 3: But how do you get someone like from that area 312 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 3: to come here? You know, like, how would you sell 313 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,319 Speaker 3: them on that? Because me, my first thought, just lie 314 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 3: to them and whatever they want to hear, right. I mean, 315 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 3: if I was a coach, I'm lying through my teeth. 316 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 2: It's funny. When I sit down with kids. 317 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 5: One of the first thing I tell them is gets 318 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 5: your BS detector out, because you have to be able 319 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 5: to tell the between the people that are telling you 320 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 5: the truth and just telling you what you want to 321 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 5: hear to get you to their school. 322 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 3: Right, Because if somebody says, hey, you you'll play for us, 323 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,439 Speaker 3: and then another coach says, hey, you got to earn 324 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 3: your spot to play, Like based on that kid's personality, 325 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 3: he's gonna pick one way or the other. 326 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 5: At the end of the day, you want the kid 327 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 5: that's going to come that says you have to earn it. 328 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,199 Speaker 5: Because if a kid wants to come to your school 329 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 5: just because you lie to them and tell them they're 330 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 5: going to start early, probably not the right kid to 331 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 5: have in your program. 332 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. But there's also those kids that just started. 333 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: I mean you so you heard Casey talking about he 334 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: went in that transfer pool a little after his freshman 335 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 1: year because he thought he was gonna be the man.

They do a great job starting the financial 493 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 4: literacy with these young guys and then also bridging that 494 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 4: gap between the end of their education and when they 495 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 4: start their civilian life. So I think that Nebraska does 496 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 4: a really good job with that piece of it. 497 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: And even like life skills you mentioned Keithan stuff, but 498 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: like you you've coached in the league, Like you have 499 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: life skills that players want to like look to for 500 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: either mentorship or anything else, because you have an idea 501 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: what it's like to coach guys in the league, Like 502 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: how do you use how do you use that mentality 503 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: and your experience to develop players or have or communicate 504 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: with them or lead them. 505 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 4: I think you try to use it from the time 506 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 4: they're freshmen till the time their seniors. You know, when 507 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,199 Speaker 4: you're in we're in unit meetings, we show a lot 508 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,120 Speaker 4: of NFL film, right because guys don't want to watch 509 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 4: other college guys. They want to watch the Pro Sunday League, right, Absolutely, 510 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 4: they want to watch that stuff. And also they want 511 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:43,679 Speaker 4: to know how do I get there? Well, I'm going 512 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 4: to tell you how to get there, and you might 513 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 4: not want to hear the answer. You know, it might 514 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 4: be you got to study film differently or more, you 515 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 4: got to take care of your body. You got to 516 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 4: eat better, you have to practice a different way. You 517 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 4: might have to play special teams even though you're a starter. 518 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 4: You know, things like that. And so I think having 519 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 4: the experience in that league, those kids understand that we're 520 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 4: not filling full a bunch of bullshit. We're telling them 521 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 4: the truth and getting guys like you to come back 522 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 4: and talk to the guys a little bit and having 523 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,360 Speaker 4: other resources come in to tell them. 524 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 2: It's not what you see on television. 525 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 4: It's not hard knocks, right, it is hard knocks, but 526 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,639 Speaker 4: it's it's a different deal. It's a it's a three 527 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 4: hundred and sixty five day process, and it's not just 528 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,120 Speaker 4: about what happens two hours down there. 529 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 2: Yeah. 530 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: With uh, with last year and the way the progress 531 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: that the defense made, I know you guys lost some 532 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 1: pieces like uh, I want to say what I was 533 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: reading is you speaking on the continuity of the defense 534 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 1: and carrying it over to the next year, Like, what 535 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 1: are some some jumps you've seen the defense make in springball? 536 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 4: I think you know, outside the schemaddics in the film, 537 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,159 Speaker 4: it's the leadership. I know you guys talked to Garrett 538 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,679 Speaker 4: Nelson a little bit, and there's there's other leaders that 539 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 4: are really developing. Some of those guys that you saw 540 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 4: last year that were really good players that may not 541 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 4: have been. 542 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 2: The old guys. 543 00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 4: Those guys are developing to some really good leaders, which 544 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 4: I'm really happy about. And then we've been able to 545 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 4: tweak the schemes a little bit. You never want to 546 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 4: start over, you know, we want to keep as much 547 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 4: same as same as as you can. But we've been 548 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 4: able to tweak a few things and makes some improvements 549 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 4: maybe where we were defishing a little bit last year 550 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 4: schematically wise, and now we just got to plug some 551 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 4: plug some new players. 552 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 3: As far as Garrett Nelson goes talking to him, he 553 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 3: makes you want to run through a wall, like like 554 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 3: the kid bleeds Nebraska, like he loves everything about it. 555 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 3: Like what's his leadership done for you guys going into 556 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 3: this next year? Because he's got he was confused at 557 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,479 Speaker 3: how many years he has left, but I'm assuming it's 558 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 3: one or two. 559 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,640 Speaker 4: I mean, I think I think he might be able 560 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 4: to have three after COVID, but I'm not. 561 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 3: I'm not sure right there. But he's he literally he 562 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 3: bleeds it, like he was explaining to me, what it's 563 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 3: like to get a black shirt, that process and everything 564 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 3: like that, Like what other other guys like him on 565 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 3: that defense that that exemplify that type of leadership. 566 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 5: Or it's funny he didn't know how many years he 567 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 5: had left because he's a general study, got no problem. 568 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 4: Still, that's awesome, you know it is now we're seeing 569 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 4: we're seeing some definite growth. You know, the two inside 570 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 4: backers were really good players for US, Luke Rymer and Nick. 571 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he was a little stud tackling machine. Yep. 572 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 4: And then you know Ty Robinson, another defense defensive lineman 573 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 4: from Arizona. 574 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 2: He's you know, he's. 575 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 4: He played a lot of good football for US last 576 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:23,919 Speaker 4: year as a young guy, and he stepped up his 577 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,199 Speaker 4: leadership game. And then in the back end, you know, 578 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 4: returning Quentin Newsom and Miles Farmer, those guys have got 579 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 4: some leadership in that back end too. So all those guys, 580 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 4: it's been nice to see them step up and with 581 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 4: us plugging new guys in. 582 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, from a from an offensive side of the ball, 583 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 3: like Casey watching what was her name? Martinez Martinez last 584 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 3: year and Casey this year? 585 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 2: How are they? 586 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 3: How are the two different? How are they similar, and 587 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:50,439 Speaker 3: what do you look. 588 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 5: Forward to it, Casey, Yeah, we spent four years with 589 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 5: Adrian and I love him. Uh, just a great human being. 590 00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 5: I think he needed a fresh start and I think 591 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 5: we did too, I'm being honest. And transfer portal gives 592 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 5: you an opportunity to do that both ways. And uh, 593 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 5: you know, we hunted in the portal hard for the 594 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 5: right guy and coach whipplin I both agreed on him, 595 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 5: and he's been a great leader since he's been here, 596 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 5: and just his competitive spirit him along with some of 597 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 5: the other guys that are new, it's really kind of 598 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,239 Speaker 5: lifted the energy on our team and just that that 599 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 5: drive and focus on our team. 600 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 2: So it's fun to watch a team that he's leading 601 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 2: right now. 602 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 3: When you when you say that you guys both kind 603 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,400 Speaker 3: of wanted a fresh start. Was that like talked about 604 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 3: it all towards the end or was it kind of 605 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 3: like he mentioned leaving and you guys are like, Okay, 606 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 3: that's a good. 607 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,479 Speaker 5: Idea, you should go. No, you know it In some 608 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 5: ways for me, I spend so much time with these guys. 609 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 5: When somebody leaves, it's kind of like breaking up with 610 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 5: a girlfriend you've invested so much time and effort into 611 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 5: somebody and trying to help them be good, and you 612 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 5: hate to see him go. He invested so much and 613 00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 5: gave so much to this university too, so much time, 614 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,360 Speaker 5: effort and playing through injury, and I got a ton 615 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 5: of respect for him. I think at the end of 616 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 5: the day, the decision he made was probably the right 617 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 5: one for him. And uh, I think in the end 618 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 5: they will land in a good place too. 619 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:13,719 Speaker 2: Do you hate dealing with that portal stuff? 620 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,479 Speaker 5: If you got a real answer from every coach, they 621 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,119 Speaker 5: hate all the changes that are having. 622 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: Right right, right right, because you know, obviously you get 623 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 1: Casey and you're you know, go, we're getting somebody. 624 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 2: Right, Somebody are like, well the portal sucks right right right? 625 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 2: People leave, But like, yeah, what's it like mess with 626 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,160 Speaker 2: that portal business. It's the game now, So it doesn't 627 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 2: matter what I think. 628 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,439 Speaker 5: That's the game. We got to be the best we 629 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 5: can at playing that game. 630 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 3: There's a level of free agency, right, Like, it's basically 631 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 3: the free agency in the NFL, And where's the cap number? 632 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 2: Well, how's that stuff work? How's it? 633 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 4: And I mean it's it's free agency with no cap. 634 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,199 Speaker 4: So it's it's the wild West right now, you know. 635 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 4: And the difference is like you know, in the UH, 636 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 4: you know, in the NFL, if you guys need a 637 00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 4: you know, another tight end, right you guys may feel 638 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 4: like you need somebody else, whether it's for depth or 639 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 4: to be a starter. 640 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 2: You bring somebody else in. 641 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 4: Everybody else under contract, they ain't going anywhere in college football. 642 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 4: You bring somebody else in, somebody else might feel jaded 643 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 4: about it, and they can just leave. So it's a 644 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 4: it's a very it's a very delicate balancing act. And 645 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 4: I think coach coach has a lot of UH stuff 646 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 4: on his plate that goes into every decision. It's not 647 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 4: as easy as people think. We're just that guy's in 648 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 4: the portal, go get him perfect. 649 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,360 Speaker 5: The smart programs out there have figured it out there. 650 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 5: They know they need n I own money and they're 651 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 5: taking their decordinator salary and cutting it in half and 652 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 5: then giving that. 653 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: Hey, yeah, I did seein's got a raise. We might 654 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: need a you might have a snippy guy. Yeah, get 655 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:44,360 Speaker 1: some guys here. 656 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 3: What do you think are you willing to do that 657 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 3: for Nebraska? I mean, are we live right now? Probably 658 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 3: coach for free just to get a national championship. Ain't 659 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 3: no doubt, there's no doubt about it.

Like there's there's 853 00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,760 Speaker 1: things that people don't see. But when it does come together, 854 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:01,720 Speaker 1: what is it like for you to see that stuff 855 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:02,320 Speaker 1: being upheld? 856 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think it's it's always been, like 857 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 4: Coach Frost, it has been a process. But you know, 858 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 4: the first couple of years, you know, I think it 859 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 4: was hard because they didn't know necessarily his way or 860 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 4: our way or what they exactly needed to do. Now, 861 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,799 Speaker 4: like last year, that group, like that was like a 862 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,320 Speaker 4: real black Shirt group, Like and not just because of 863 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 4: the way they play in the field, but the way 864 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,600 Speaker 4: they practice, the way they worked, the way they carried themselves. 865 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,799 Speaker 4: We talk about all the time black Shirt you got 866 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 4: to elevate yourself and everybody around you, and so those 867 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 4: guys I think they embodied that and that was really 868 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 4: cool to watch.

You guys made 1020 00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:05,360 Speaker 3: some changes. That's the special teams category. If your special 1021 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,839 Speaker 3: teams was better, how many games do you guys think 1022 00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:08,680 Speaker 3: you would have probably. 1023 00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:12,480 Speaker 2: Won at least two more, at least because because oh 1024 00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:16,719 Speaker 2: come on, dude, we're going to a bowl game. Two. 1025 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,200 Speaker 5: There was one special teams play that if it changed, 1026 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:20,439 Speaker 5: the game probably would have changed. 1027 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:21,319 Speaker 2: And the hands on that. 1028 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:23,640 Speaker 5: And I'm not talking about games where we gave up 1029 00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,680 Speaker 5: a kick return and we missed a bunch of pats 1030 00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:27,360 Speaker 5: and field goals. 1031 00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,520 Speaker 3: So well, if you have a kick return in one 1032 00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,359 Speaker 3: game and you're not gonna mention that that's almost not 1033 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,239 Speaker 3: fair because you guys never lost a game more than 1034 00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:35,759 Speaker 3: seven points. 1035 00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 5: We got we got a pun blocked in one game 1036 00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:39,880 Speaker 5: that totally changed the game and we were in control 1037 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,040 Speaker 5: of the game until that happened. And another one where 1038 00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,759 Speaker 5: I think his defense gave up fifteen yards in the 1039 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:48,680 Speaker 5: entire second half and we and we punted it to 1040 00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:50,759 Speaker 5: the wrong sideline and gave up a kicker a punt 1041 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,600 Speaker 5: return and lost in overtime. And that's been an issue 1042 00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 5: on a thrown on our side for a while. And 1043 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 5: Bill Bush is our special quarter nine and out and 1044 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,520 Speaker 5: doing a great job, and the players know how important 1045 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,200 Speaker 5: it is, and so all the effort we're putting in 1046 00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,640 Speaker 5: right now in springball, special teams is probably getting the 1047 00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,000 Speaker 5: most attention and effort, and we all know that needs 1048 00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:09,439 Speaker 5: to get better. 1049 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,719 Speaker 2: It could be the difference. The Big Ten is so good, 1050 00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:12,759 Speaker 2: every team is. 1051 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,360 Speaker 5: There's this much difference between all these teams, and special 1052 00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,400 Speaker 5: teams can make the difference in those types of games. 1053 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:19,560 Speaker 2: I love your intensity. 1054 00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:25,600 Speaker 3: Of all the coaches in the Big Ten, who would 1055 00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:29,759 Speaker 3: you lose a fight to lose? Who do you think 1056 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:31,880 Speaker 3: you would lose a fight to If all all the 1057 00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:33,960 Speaker 3: coaches in the Bay ten got together in a ring 1058 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,040 Speaker 3: and it was kind of a free for all. 1059 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,120 Speaker 2: Who do you think you'd have the royal type situation?

You've been so close, bro, you guys 1125 00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:45,719 Speaker 1: have been so close with this program with this last 1126 00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:49,160 Speaker 1: year zero point different. You know, I've been out spouting 1127 00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,120 Speaker 1: off about the best three and nine win, best three 1128 00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:54,200 Speaker 1: win team of all time, but being so close, and 1129 00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:57,040 Speaker 1: as you guys know, once you get removed from the season, 1130 00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:00,400 Speaker 1: you you ultimately just become what your record was and 1131 00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,319 Speaker 1: being fifteen and twenty nine, like going into twenty twenty two, 1132 00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,080 Speaker 1: What were a couple of things that you guys get 1133 00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,200 Speaker 1: in the room about. You made coaching changes, you have 1134 00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:11,200 Speaker 1: a contract restructure, You're doing all these different things. What 1135 00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:12,640 Speaker 1: are a couple of things that you're in that room 1136 00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:14,759 Speaker 1: and you're like, yo, we got to tighten this shit up. 1137 00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,080 Speaker 1: Not because you actually feel the pressure or you're on 1138 00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:20,319 Speaker 1: the hot seat, but you're just like, I'm sick and 1139 00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:21,960 Speaker 1: tired of being just this fucking close. 1140 00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:24,879 Speaker 2: Yeah. First of all, every coach is on the hot 1141 00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:28,839 Speaker 2: seat every year. Essentially, it is what it is. 1142 00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:30,480 Speaker 5: I tell you, if we don't get it done here, 1143 00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,960 Speaker 5: it's not gonna be from lack of effort or knowing 1144 00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,279 Speaker 5: how to coach or doing things the right way. And 1145 00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:37,160 Speaker 5: we had a big hill to climb to catch. There's 1146 00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:38,719 Speaker 5: a lot of good teams this league, and to catch 1147 00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:42,920 Speaker 5: a lot of these teams in our league. But I 1148 00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,160 Speaker 5: agree with you that's some of the reason I made changes, 1149 00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,360 Speaker 5: not because we weren't doing things the right way, just 1150 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:49,480 Speaker 5: you know, we needed to have a little bit different 1151 00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,040 Speaker 5: approach with some new energy, some new ideas, and some 1152 00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:54,759 Speaker 5: new enthusiasm. And I think we got that with some 1153 00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:56,760 Speaker 5: of the new players and coaches that we brought in. 1154 00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:01,040 Speaker 5: Our entire team is exciting because they know how close 1155 00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:02,719 Speaker 5: they are. And like I said, I think, I think 1156 00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:06,120 Speaker 5: there's a hunger there because because of the way we 1157 00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:08,560 Speaker 5: lost games and how close we were, and and also 1158 00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,439 Speaker 5: strangely through losing a lot of confidence in our team 1159 00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,640 Speaker 5: because we played, you know, again, a playoff team and 1160 00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,480 Speaker 5: had them on the ropes and had a chance to 1161 00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:19,840 Speaker 5: go ahead of Ohio State. 1162 00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:20,480 Speaker 2: In the fourth quarter. 1163 00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:23,400 Speaker 5: And and I can go through the games, but there's 1164 00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,879 Speaker 5: a lot of confidence, frustration, but also confidence within our team. 1165 00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,640 Speaker 5: And we're gonna keep doing things the right way and 1166 00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,120 Speaker 5: keep trying to add to the roster and the talent 1167 00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:34,759 Speaker 5: and keep getting the culture better. And and then all 1168 00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:36,200 Speaker 5: you can do is go out on Saturday and give 1169 00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:36,879 Speaker 5: it everything you got. 1170 00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:38,959 Speaker 2: I love them, man, Yeah. 1171 00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:40,759 Speaker 3: And then I think too the heart like last year, 1172 00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:44,359 Speaker 3: Hardball was on the proverbial hot seat and we weren't 1173 00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,680 Speaker 3: even rate top twenty five and went to the playoffs 1174 00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:49,160 Speaker 3: like happens every year. 1175 00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:50,600 Speaker 2: The winning everything. 1176 00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,520 Speaker 3: And the thing people need to be more understanding of 1177 00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:55,759 Speaker 3: is when a coach comes in like, it's not the 1178 00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:58,400 Speaker 3: players he recruited, and so now you're going into the 1179 00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:02,080 Speaker 3: fifth year, right, this is like these are your players? 1180 00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:02,799 Speaker 2: Are your guys? 1181 00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:04,719 Speaker 3: Are the guys you guys came in and have had 1182 00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:08,880 Speaker 3: the whole entire time to develop, and so people just 1183 00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:09,160 Speaker 3: don't know. 1184 00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,480 Speaker 5: You see coaches that get jobs where they're already on 1185 00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:14,520 Speaker 5: top of the mountain and they take over for somebody 1186 00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:16,840 Speaker 5: else that got it there. That's a lot easier, particularly 1187 00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:18,960 Speaker 5: coaches that inherit a team where they've been coaching, a 1188 00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,560 Speaker 5: coordinator gets promoted or whatever. Right, Usually the jobs you 1189 00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:24,760 Speaker 5: get as a head coach are the ones that aren't 1190 00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:25,719 Speaker 5: doing real well. 1191 00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's a fix. And this has been a fix. 1192 00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:32,120 Speaker 5: And the great thing is I think the hard work 1193 00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:34,760 Speaker 5: is behind us and now it's just more fine tuning 1194 00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,200 Speaker 5: to make sure that some of these close results change. 1195 00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:37,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1196 00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:41,600 Speaker 5: We have outstanding fans that are behind you, and we 1197 00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:45,720 Speaker 5: walked down this place every single person, huge Nebraska fans 1198 00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:47,000 Speaker 5: that sold outs in sixty two. 1199 00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:49,000 Speaker 3: I'm excited to see guys ball out this year except 1200 00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:51,319 Speaker 3: for one game.
