Coach Albin has always been Coach Albin. Nobody cares more about each of those Student-Athletes and it's a shame this is what some focus on.

There must be someone in university's marketing/comms organization who could be called in for some one-on-one work.

They’ll drop little tidbits and stuff to him, but it’s a comfort level of public speaking that he hasn’t had to deal with on a routine basis. If you think about it, this will be the first time a lot of these interviews will be in front of a camera/definitely not edited too. Not saying a public speaking class wouldn’t hurt, but until he’s comfortable in his new shoes and dealing with the media it won’t change.

I have no idea how Coach Albin relates to the players which matters more than how we perceive his public speaking abilities. He is certainly a sharp contrast from his predecessor.

High energy and I like to hear the coachspeak . Lots of information which I find interesting regarding Rourke's reads and defensive alignments. He is very likable. He seems very honest and genuine. You can see why the players like him.

Perhaps Nebraska put a lot of effort and energy into developing the public speaking of their coaching staff? Some are just more naturally gifted at it but everyone can improve with practice.

He needs more than that...to admit he wasn't prepared for Cuse's leading rusher sets off alarm bells. If you are that unprepared, do not admit it in public...go back and rip the staff for missing the big picture. You'll know by mid October if he is a mistake or not. I tend to think he'll hit his stride and finish strong.

In my mind, part of what Solich accomplished was to take a terrible program and add stability and some Keven of success, however low the ceiling. And largely because of his tenure, and because of who he is, he was allowed to play low quality out of conference schedules provided he continue qualifying for low level bowl games. I suspect the expectations may be higher for Albin. I have a hard time seeing another coach stick for 15 years without a conference championship. Back to Top .

No crime in that. No crime at all. The question now is how far is the program going to be allowed to fall again until changes are made.
