Nebraska Huskers: Not A 'Reboot', We're Reshaping

<p></p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Minnie Hunt and Fred Sacco kick off Monday Night Therapy riding a rare wave of “vim and vigor” thanks to Nebraska sports actually giving fans reasons to smile—especially a 16–0 men’s basketball team sitting at #8 in the polls, plus the general buzz of winter workouts and portal season.</p> <p> </p> <p class="has-text-align-none">The big on-show feature is Minnie’s deep dive on new defensive line coach Corey Brown (from Miami of Ohio), replacing Terry Bradden. They like his fundamentals-first approach—coming off the ball hard, pad level, hands, and teaching drills like “chop, rip, roll-out”—and they cite his recent production: strong red-zone defense, forced turnovers, and big sack totals, even with new starters. They also love his background: Houston native, played at Iowa, arena ball, stops at Notre Dame and Rutgers, and a reputation for building disruptive fronts while investing in players as people.</p> <p> </p> <p class="has-text-align-none">They run through portal adds (including San Diego State transfers who already know the system), debate roster needs—especially the ongoing panic about running back—and then veer into a spicy section on Dylan Raiola heading to Oregon, NIL money, “swag,” and the new reality that experience and roster age matter more than hype. The show closes with playoff expansion chatter, ticket-price madness, and a quick worry about keeping coach Ekeler.</p> <p></p>
