Nebraska is 0-7 in the Big Ten this year with an overall record of 3-10 against D-1 competition. Last year they were 2-18 in conference and 7-25 overall.
At Iowa State, they started 16-16 year one and then 23-11 with an NCAA tournament appearance year two.
One would think that they are better coaches with the extra decade of experience. It just goes to show that there are many factors that go into how successful a new staff is. The situation is a bit more nuanced than many of our fans would like to admit.
