In 2001 Craig Bohl was the Defensive Coordinator at the University of Nebraska. At the time the Blackshirts were one of the most prestigious and feared defensives in college football. That was until the 2001 Colorado game at Folsom Field in Boulder, CO. In that game alone, Nebraska gave up 582 yards in total offense to a 14th ranked CU team. The following game, the BCS championship in Pasadena, CA; NU played the University of Miami and gave up 472 yards of total offense to one of the greatest teams ever assembled.
Enter Kevin Cosgrove. In 2007 alone, Cosgrove has surpassed those dubious numbers put up by Bohl. Against an overrated USC team, NU gave up 457 yards with a whopping 313 of those coming on the ground on just 38 carries, equaling 8.2 yards per carry. The following 4 games show Cosgrove’s inept abilities at the DC position plagued Nebraska. Against Ball State, NU game up 610 yards; against Iowa State (last offensively in the Big XII), NU gave up 415 on 102 plays; at Missouri, NU gave up 606 yards. Lastly, against Oklahoma State, NU gave up 551 yards of total offense. In the last 5 games, Nebraska has gone 2 and 3 and given up an average of 527.8 yards a game which would rank last in the nation.
So here is to Kevin Cosgrove…get the hell out of Lincoln. Can you give Bill a ride?

Nice article, Ghram. I'm in much agreement. Did you know the team practiced in full pads yesterday, and some of the younger guys may see playing time on Saturday? The Great Oz must've given someone a brain. . .
Hey Ghram dont you think we know by now that cosgrove is not a good coach. he will be gone so will billy boy. so now the gonzo pelini jokes can begin.
From the sources we have inside the Pentagon, it appears that there is no willingness from the current staff to resign, but the Athletic Department and Nastional Security are working together to bring a sweet deal to the table for the turd hurd.
