That's the easiest way to filter out these kinds of 3rd party "source" articles. A lot of time establishing connections, zero time showing Jim in the actual process. 3 Quote Link to comment

Guy Chamberlin Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Having watched Chip Kelly coach the talent-deprived San Francisco 49ers last year, I'm not sure we should treat him as a savior, and visions of Oregon 2.0 aren't going to happen overnight -- that's assuming Husker fans prefer speed, multiplicity and gambling over the power running game. I think Kelly was a game-changing coach in his day, but he was resigned and far from inspirational with the Niners, and left plenty of bad blood in Philly. He was not able to coach up the talent or devise a better scheme than the coach he replaced. Returning to college might give Chip Kelly some kind of spark, but he'd be likely to treat Nebraska HC as a job rather than a career. He's a big name, maybe even a splash hire, but he seems like damaged goods to me, and already tired of the circus. I'd like someone a little hungrier. 6 Quote Link to comment
Ric Flair Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I’m intrigued by Montgomery from Tulsa. He’s smart, up and coming, adaptable, and learned from Briles. The smashmouth parts of his offense would be refreshing. Quote Link to comment

Any other course of action, the fan base would have very limited patience. The Frost train is really picking up steam (locally and nationally). I fear that any other hire would automatically be a disappointment and the next guy would have 2 years max to turn it around before the fans revolt. Especially troubling considering 2018 schedule. It would also be a total disaster if Frost turns it down and succeeds elsewhere. The kind of punch in the face that may be very, very difficult to recover from. You're probably right. And the notion that there's only one acceptable coach for the University of Nebraska doesn't exactly help our reputation. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'd agree, plus add, I'd prefer somebody who operates quite differently. While his offense with Oregon was fun to watch from the outside, it's not exactly Nebraska ball and is too reliant on the types of guys we typically have trouble recruiting here. I hope to hell it isn't Kelly. 1 Quote Link to comment

One poster had mentioned in another thread that there was less zone blocking and more lineman pulling when run blocking. Anything else? 2 Quote Link to comment
