I agree about both the Coca-Cola AND whiskey! So many brilliant things from McBride: "Physical line play on both sides needs to be practiced on nearly every play." Camaraderie, when combined with toughness, meanness, proper teaching, and a will to not lose. McBride was succinct, simple, very clear and VERY correct! The biggest take away for me, however, was something I never realized before. He basically took TO's idea of offense and applied it to his defense. Run the same plays with different DISGUISES (read "formations and blocking schemes" in TO's language). "Everybody knew what we were running." (sound familiar? see above) "For every check [in the secondary], there is a mistake. You can write that down." Hmm... Is that still true today, Adam? I'm no football guru, but the beauty of that statement is profound. That was such a great interview, Adam. Thank you so much for interviewing McBride. Brilliance in ironic simplistic complexity. Btw, the forecast for Saturday is 53 and cloudy (I don't know about the wind?) GBR! McBride = Legend. Throw the bones!!! 1. Coke 2. B 3. Stop the run and pressure the QB.
1999 they were beasts too. Aside from some fumbles that team rolls everyone. I know Charlie knew it would never get any better than that so he retired.
Great interview, Adam! Thank you. When I think of the Huskers getting over their barrier, I think of my 14.5 year-old dalmatian, Duke. He loves to chase the frisbee golfers behind our house. To get there, he has to run through a trellised area. That trellis creates a shadow that to his old eyes looks like a tall fence. And every time he makes it over -- because it's not really a fence. But he jumps it with gusto because it's in the way of getting to his goal. I think our team has to jump some shadow fences. If they can look at that "uh oh here we go" as "oh, it's just a shadow fence," it will be gone in no time. That, and if they can remember that most of the people they are worried about pleasing can't even run one gasser, they'll be fine. :)
I remember those defensive schemes that Mr McBride is explaining and describing (i.e. the linebackers are more or less kissing the line of scrimmage until the snap). I remember those 90's defences really well. I was just watching the '96 Kansas game on youtube, and the defense was a thing of beauty. First 3 plays: tackle for a loss of 6, incomplete, sack of 9 yards, and the line was in the backfield each play. The D made something difficult look easy. It was after Mr McBride left that NU started deflating in relevancy, he kept the dynasty going for his tenure, until he retired.
Had the great pleasure of meeting Mr. McBride a few years back when I lived in Arizona. I was at a Husker bar watching a game that is owned by a high school friend and ex-Husker player also. Great guy and wish I could have visited more with him. I even asked him if he'd be willing to be the defensive coordinator again for us. Both chuckled at that and I knew the answer. Great coach and really knew his stuff. Very happy to have had that experience. GO BIG RED & THROW THE BONES. Pepsi all day. Defense - B, only because the secondary has a few bad days. Defense needs the secondary to play lights out to beat Wisconsin & Iowa.
One of the greatest coaches of all time! I'd love to hear Carrick talk to solich too. High schools and a lot of colleges don't practice football. They practice plays. The technician coaches who know how to drill technique and work guys and implement a screw that matches the technique are a dying breed...it's why you see OL in 2 point stances, DL not knowing how to get off a block and both sides standing straight up and down.
Poor tackling is a pandemic and I say ESPN bears some responsibility. Every kid every level wants to light em up so they ignore fundamentals and go for the big hit but get juked and end up trying to arm tackle. In last week’s class A semifinal I asked my son if NSAA passed a rule prohibiting tackling below the waist. See it in college pros pop warner middle and high school.
@@carrikerchronicles90maybe we could have a “Charlie’s take” section if he’s up for it? Love the way Coach breaks things down so that anyone can understand. There were several aha-ha moments in this interview. I can only hope some current players & coaches were listening. 🙏🤞🏻 GBR!!!
Coach McBride is the quintessential defensive coach. Great interview Adam. I think you enjoyed your time with Coach as much as your listeners. GBR!!! ☠️☠️☠️
Oh, I HATE COKE! If a place has Coke products, I get Sprite. I've drank mostly Mt. Dew for years, but Pepsi is good, too. Last year, I discovered an INCREDIBLE combo: Pepsi & PINEAPPLE JUICE!
For us to win on defense our DB have to work together and not give up long passes for touch downs! and on offense we just need one more play than the other team!!!!! love coach Charlie Mcbride!!! GO BIG RED TILL I DIE!!! PS Adam you sure are bringing on some excellent coaches and player's to your show 👏 👍 😊
If he hasn’t already, get this man in front of the players. Confidence is key. But it’s only the byproduct of good preparation. Good preparation is a byproduct of a player-led culture. Rhule has said before: we can’t play to not-lose. We have to play to win. But like Coach McBride just said, that starts with leaders (1st & 2nd-stringers) who step up and say, “We’ve already decided what we’re going to do, because we know ourselves, we know our AND THEIR game plan inside and out, and we prepared well enough.” I hate to say it, but after years of losing, it takes a reset and a clean-slate to break that cycle. It’s not just coaching. And it’s certainly not getting enough “talent.” It’s leaders at both the starting and subbing levels, who own their assignments and don’t leave football on the field or in the film room, but who take it back to the dorms & the classrooms. Leaders who live and breathe it with their roommates all week long. Leaders who bring younger guys out to the front lawn of their dorms to work on minute hand/foot or blocking techniques they weren’t executing in practice that day. From the outside looking in, it looks like that type of player leadership has been the exception (from 1-2 guys) any given season for a looooong time. More than anything, we need an entire O-Line that, as a unit, is the leader of the team. Getting rough with other players in practice when they’re not executing their job. Leading the pre-/post-game in the locker room. Setting the culture of being nasty, enforcing their will on other teams. Being willing to be just as nasty toward anyone on the team who doesn’t hold the line of executing their job for the team on & off the field. That’s how to build a culture of players who play for each other. A nasty O-Line who, as a single unit, is seen as THE vocal leader & normalizes a culture that says “You didn’t prep well enough or execute your job in practice. Because that hurt the whole team, you’re gonna hear about it loud & clear until you fix it.” Movies like to make the QB look like the team leader. And in-game, he IS the caller & has a lot of sway over whether the team holds their head up…mid-game. But the “Bigs” are the ones who truly decide where the team goes. And for too long, our dorm-room and locker-room leaders (the O-Line) have been identity-less and fractured. It can’t be just 1 being the leader/enforcer. It has to be all of them. Being a lineman means being the standard- and culture- enforcer. Enforcing that everyone on the team is fighting for the good of the whole team on & off the field even in their personal lives. And not 1 of the O-Linemen were voted to have a single digit jersey by their own teammates. That’s the most damning evidence.
I've been telling people this for years Charlie McBride it's one of the best college coaches ever coached this game and I don't know why when they started switching all these coaches nobody went to him to get his opinion on things and the straightening methods that they use in the conditioning that they use because they were dominant that defensive line in the office of line how to strength conditioning that was Second To None the word prose used to come down to Nebraska and see what they was doing you have to have a very strong dominant offensive line and defensive line took a peat in championships I don't care what level are you playing at
Coke. And it's not even close. I mean who wants to drink Micheal Jackson juice..shessh.I met Charlie Mcbride in Tucson. Signed my Huskers pennant. Come back Charlie, Nebraska needs you. LFG GBR ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
I wish there was more unity with the coaches wanting to stick together and I wish players could play football like they used to, but I guess there would be too many injuries if that happened
Nebraska's defense is getting too much praise they are nowhere near the level they need to be with to really compete with major teams this struggling with mediocre teens and in the middle teams
RHULE PICK A RUNNING BACK! AND LET HIM GET THE FEEL... TRANSFER KID....HAS ZERO VISION!!!!!AND SO DO COACHES IF THEY DONT SEE THAT. PAY ATTENTION PLEASE FOR THE KIDS Sake if you don't care about fans...care about PLAYERS ENOUGH TO PAY ATTENTION!!!!!
What a personality. I could listen to him for hours.

I couldn't agree more
Haven't started the video yet. Heard the stories. Charlie..........we need someone with your fire again. The discipline and motivation.
I laughed when McBride said, "The NCAA has ruined our game"
pretty much
1999 they were beasts too. Aside from some fumbles that team rolls everyone. I know Charlie knew it would never get any better than that so he retired.
Probably my favorite team to watch. Without the fumbles we might have been national runner up I think.
@@garypierce7380agreed. Defense wins championships. I could rewatch that Alamodome Texas game every week. 😎
@@mrh3085I was at that game, it was awesome. I know major Applewhite will never forget that game.

Yes!
Our new O/C lit a fire under the receivers.
He said if you can't block don't expect passes to come your way.
@@obad9786which was how it was back in the Osborne/ McBride days. Nebraska receivers were known for their blocking prowess. GBR!!!
The vodka to whiskey response was funny!😂
Caught me off guard lol!
@@carrikerchronicles90I could tell! 😅
Great to hear Charlie's takes. I think Snow seems very similar... like to see him with more say so.

I see so many armless bump-tackling attempts from these guys! They need to friggin be taught the fundamentals of wrapping up!!!

Pepsi curse and no FB curse
It’s not called Jack & Pepsi!Just saying…
Nobody wanted to face Charlie's defenses, especially in the 4th quarter!
I'd trade my first born for Charlie back! Love that man! ❤❤❤
Coke, B and pick 6. I will start my days off throwing the bone 🦴 a from now on.
Thank you coach McBride and you too Adam 😀

Charlie McBride was the greatest defensive genius of our generation. We will not see his like again.
coca cola
1) Pepsi
2) B
3) pressure the QB; he's the #2 for a reason!!

And I hate when sports announcers in the biggest sports announcers they can't pronounce his name straight call correct
Coke. And it's not even close. I mean who wants to drink Micheal Jackson juice..shessh.I met Charlie Mcbride in Tucson. Signed my Huskers pennant. Come back Charlie, Nebraska needs you. LFG GBR ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
Pepsi. At least 2 more wins. Defensive secondary has to get better at not just tipping but catching the ball
If the other team doesn't score you can't lose!!! GBR!
Pepsi, C+, If the OL plays like unit. Like the NU Volleyball, then we have a chance
I wish there was more unity with the coaches wanting to stick together and I wish players could play football like they used to, but I guess there would be too many injuries if that happened
I agree the NCAA had ruined College Football. Dr. Pepper!
Absolute ledge!
Coke. And loved hearing from Coach McBride. Maybe he could offer a tutorial on disguising defenses. Get after it, Coach!
Pepsi
B
Pressure the QB
Mcbride was the best!
Dr Pepper I would give the defense a c+

Sardonic comment of the week….”Don’t worry, we’ll get Wisconsin’s offense back on track… their backup qb will look like a Heisman candidate.”
Coke. Also D gets a B-
