HuskerJax Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 He’s not my first choice, but we could definitely do worse. Probably falls between 5-15 of realistic choices, so still an upgrade Quote Link to comment
clone Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I'd be shocked if Leach took a job at NU. He doesn't need the aggravation. But I've always been a fan of his style. 1 Quote Link to comment
HuskerPowerVA Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I m VERY confident Frost is coming. But, playing a game to take a break from the aforementioned giant thread boredom, Leach would be very welcome in my book if another option was necessary. Chip Kelly is going to Florida (unless he falls in love with UCLA but I doubt it) and I Pederson is not leaving Washington. I would love to see Patterson but he isn't leaving TCU.

huskerfan333157 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I would LOVE leach here. Imagine a leach offense with gebbia, Morgan, Spielman, and lindsey... Quote Link to comment

Dude I feel for you right now, you were kind enough to share the knowledge you have and ever since then every word of yours is being analyzed. Thanks for sharing what you did, sorry that any time you say “yet” or “but” it’s another sidebar...And to expand on your comment, yes we’ve done worse; Riley, callahan. We could also of done way worse had Bounds and Green not acted and waited to react. Edited November 24, 2017 by bisonwiches Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I do not understand the Leach love. He has had success at rough places sure, and his offenses when rolling are pretty impressive. That said, he would not work out here what so ever. Purely opinion. Quote Link to comment
Kiyoat Husker Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 i'm not sure that Leach would be a good fit here. I'm absolutely positive that he could win here, though. The difference between him and Pelini is that Pelini was an a-hole that was also a paranoid dude with anger management issues. Leach is a stuck-up a-hole with no filter. Both of them are good coaches in their own way. Both of them have/would clash with Nebraska's fans/media/admin/boosters. 1 Quote Link to comment
secretasianman Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I think Leach would have the same success here that Pelini had. I think he would reach the 8-10 win plateau, but would struggle to win “the games that matter”. 1 Quote Link to comment
Nebhawk Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 We may never know about Leach. He has won 10-11 games at Texas Tech and 9-10 at Washington ST. He has never coached where he is the one and only show in town. I tend to think that he might do the same here. 9-11 wins per season. His teams don't usually get blown out. His teams attract talent at WR, and at QB. I wouldn't pass on him if Frost says no. I think he could do a really good job here if given that chance, but I would think that he might not deliver titles in the B1G. I do think we could and would win the West side of this discussion though, but not beat Michigan, Ohio St or Penn ST. Quote Link to comment

Some people are able to win in some place or circumstances, but no others. These two sentences are like, completely opposite of each other I think the data proves you wrong though. Look at people like Steve Spurrier at Florida vs at South Carolina, Lou Holtz at Notre Dame vs South Carolina, Nick Saban at Michigan State and the Miami Dolphins vs LSU/Bama, etc. Quote Link to comment

Only people might put up with him longer since his public persona is much more agreeable. And he'd threaten to cannonball Memorial from his Pirateship at Capital Beach. Quote Link to comment

What data? It’s my opinion. You can paint the picture however you want. We’ve seen plenty of one hit wonders and their success doesn’t translate to other places. Brady Hoke and Dan Hawkins come to mind. Not quite sure where Saban was unsuccessful? The Dolphins? I don’t consider the NFL and college the same discipline. He took over an MSU program that hadn’t won a game the previous year. Lou Holtz has had a lot of success at multiple universities. If the measuring stick is national championships, your not going to have many to choose from. Edited November 24, 2017 by gobiggergoredder Quote Link to comment
Whistlepig Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 17 hours ago, Mr.Rodgers said: Frost, Kelly, Leach in that order...I’d be fine with any of em! 2 of the 3 have pretty recent "issues" that reek damaged goods- one of the reasons Leach was hanging out in the Keys for years after TT fired him, and also why Chip went to the NFL no thanks to both of them. We don't need the NCAA snooping around looking for reasons to put us on probation Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Agree, we need to restore integrity, as much as traditon and real coaching. I guess i am old school, i like the Wisconsin model, Alvarez took from Oz. Quote Link to comment
