Around SBN: An Explanation For Some Of The Perplexing HOF Snubs

Kill names anywhere from 7-12 captains

Here is your leadership council per HuskieWire and Northern Star:

Offense

RB Ricky Crider, WR Landon Cox, TE Jason Schepler & LT Trevor Olson

Defense

LB Alex Kube, DE Jake Coffman, SS Tracy Wilson

But wait, there's more:

The five NIU quarterbacks - juniors DeMarcus Grady, Chandler Harnish and Casey Weston and redshirt freshmen Jordan Lynch and A.J. Hill - also were named to the Leadership Council because "every quarterback needs to be a leader," Kill said.

I'd hate to be one of the QBs getting the "token" captaincy, but hey why not.  Somebody needs to put those guys through the ringer and who knows, they may come out the other side as diamond.  I'm really digging the fact he's putting these signal callers under as much pressure as possible.  So for now, let's just enjoy the fact we have so many "leaders" on the team.  Only 4 seniors though, which is a little unusual.

Leadership seems like something that needs to be firmly established this year.  Who has truly been a leader on this team in Kill's first 2 years here?

I'm surprised not to see Spann

but maybe he’s just not into the whole “visual leader” type of thing. And that’s cool. It’s not for everyone.

He plays his ass off though, so from television he sure look to at the very least be a leader by example.

Anyway, if the question of who has been the leader of this team the last two season is, then it’s a no brainer.

Jake Coffman.

The discussion begins and ends right there and I’m as happy as a pig in shit that he decided to come back for his senior season.

Life is tough, but it's tougher if you're stupid.
