Watch out, Nebraska coming for Don Brown (not really)
Living in Huskerland I tend to peruse their message boards to keep informed on the team so I can at least converse somewhat in depth with collegues and friends. Apparently they fired (errr, "didn't renew the contract") of their DC yesterday. Reading through the coments on the Corn Nation post I found these gems by one of their users. In all fairness he got called out, but at the same time their fans are pretty darn delusional about their program nowadays.
The other guy to consider is Michigan’s Don Brown. We can buy him out no problem, and who would rather work for Harbaugh? No one. Michigan is a lesser program than ours. Get that guy in Lincoln and start making some championship defenses. We all know he’d look good in Husker Red.
If Riley’s smart he’ll go get Venables but I’d be okay with either Venables or Brown.
As for Don Brown, there is literally nothing that Michigan can offer him that we can’t. In fact we can offer him more. We’re Nebraska, while they’re just some overrated program with a psycho head coach. Our defense should be the best in the country every year, so go get Don Brown. Steal him from Michigan. Offer him more money. We shouldn’t just throw up our hands and say "Oh well, it can’t be done. They’ll never leave where they are. Why should we even try?" That’s bullshit. Complete, utter f—-ing bullshit. This is the Blackshirt Defense we’re talking about. Why aren’t we getting the best?? Every time someone argues against making progress it’s like you’re spitting in TO’s face.
Seriously, it’s time for our program to nut up or shut up.
You guys think Brown would go for it??? He makes a compelling case. /s
EDIT: Guys, this is all in good fun, some light internet ribbing. Of course we have fans like this, most fan bases do.

Yes, they are delusional in Nebraska. But our fanbase has them too. Michigan has NOT been on the same level as OSU and Bama for a LONG time. We may have been better this year, but our OL was seriously lacking. And the homerism gets annoying. I will occasionally read something over at Eleven Warriors, and their fan base is also completely delusional.

Good luck and best wishes! Hope you get it!
I don't always like the time away from home but the frequent flyer frst class airfare and accommodation awards for vacations and such makes it hurt less.

They're actually really nice.
I run into them all the time when they see my Colorado tags while driving though Nebraska. They think CU is ducking them these days. Not to mention two of the last three times they played the Buffs blew them out... but I digress.
There's no reasoning with them when football is the ONLY fucking thing the ENTIRE state has. It's not like even Utah where they have *some* sports like RSL and the Jazz. Not to mention all the cool outdoor stuff.
Nebraska basically lives and dies by the football program. But it's not like that shitty state south of Michigan; you will be welcomed, invited to tailgates, and your person and property will never feel threatened.
So... go there have fun, but when football comes up, don't make eye contact and keep your answers to one syllable words.

First anyone who has been in both Lincoln and Ann Arbor it's obvious where any sane person would want to live. When it comes to programs..... uh yea.... call me when Nebraska is relevant again, which means I don't expect to hear from you like ever...... Oh and just because your defense has a name doesn't mean it's good.
