Jon Johnston of Corn Nation discusses the 2023 Nebraska football season, particularly whether it was a success under new coach Matt Rule. He explores the perspectives of results-oriented and process-oriented people. Results-oriented individuals see the season as a failure because Nebraska didn’t reach a bowl game, continuing a trend since 2016 and displaying similar game-losing patterns as before. On the other hand, process-oriented people might view it as a success due to improvements in defense and the offensive line, and the fact that the team achieved its best win record since 2016.
Johnston also touches on issues like player injuries and the treatment of players as replaceable ‘toasters,’ criticizing this mindset.
