Nebraska Football: Steps for Making it Through a Husker Off-Season

 Step 2: Keep an Eye on the Coaching Carousel

It’s the time of year where many programs will go through coaching changes. Many teams have already begun letting coaches go and bringing new guys in. Nebraska football fans know this first hand as Bob Diaco was just hired as the new defensive coordinator and there’s still a spot open thanks to Brian Stewart moving on.

Fans can also keep an on the coaching changes of other programs. Watching who the Big Red could be facing next year can help pass some time. Keep in mind that there are some new coaches in the Big Ten who will be looking to fill out their staff. Speculate how this will affect Nebraska football all you’d like.

Step 3: Follow Nebrasketball

Yes, the ball is a different shape and the rules can be odd, but basketball is still an exciting game. Football season is over, so watching Nebraska basketball can give Husker fans something to cheer about. It also helps that the team has been doing some good things in Big Ten play so far.

I know it isn’t quite the same as the excitement that comes from a long touchdown run, but watching Tai Webster drain a deep three in crunch time can still get your blood flowing and heart pumping. It will also help get rid of some of that down time during the football off-season. Additionally, it can help release some of that stored up energy that has built up since the end of the Husker football season.

Need more of a reason? Football players and recruits sometimes attend the games. Fans can check out who is on campus and interested in the program. Support another Nebraska team and get your football fix? Sounds like a win-win.
