Perhaps a bit of a cautionary tale for the Nebraska, Penn State and Miami's of the world.
Every fan base has delusional members—check any college football message board after a loss for proof—but there's something different about Nebraska. When the team loses, as the 3-5 Cornhuskers are doing right now, the tenor of conversation is not just sadness but entitlement, and what this program really deserves. And boy, do Nebraska fans think they deserve a lot more. A sample:
[Hire] a Husker like Scott Frost or [swing] for the fences and get Jon Gruden. You might think that's a pipe dream but don't forget, this is Nebraska. Don't act like we can't get anyone we want. Just hire the right coach and we will win.
Perhaps this commenter is a bit extreme, but this entitlement seems pervasive at Nebraska, whose athletic director, Shawn Eichorst, fired Bo Pelini last year because consistently winning nine games apparently wasn't good enough. This came a decade after the Huskers fired coach Frank Solich for doing the same thing.
