So let's go to John in Des Moines, who called up "Early Break with Sip and Jake" (93.7 FM) last week with a thoughtful takeaway regarding the good that could come out of Nebraska's struggles on the gridiron this season.

"I thought he could get this thing going a little bit right away and then the Big Ten coaches would adjust and maybe he would plateau after a couple years, maybe similar to what Jim Harbaugh did at Michigan in Year One and then was struggling a bit in Year Three.
