Again, you're not giving me a reason other than "I believe." Base the argument in some fact. Facts: Nebraska was one of the worst defenses on third down in the country this year, ranked 76th in the country. Nebraska was one of the worst defenses stopping the run this year, ranked 95th in the country. Nebraska was average at best getting to the quarterback this year with only 27 sacks, tied for 57th in the country. Nebraska was one of the worst defenses in the Red Zone this year, tied (ironically) with Minnesota, Indiana at 122nd in the country. Opinion: "First of all, we would never bring in Strong as a Co DC because he isn't a 3-4 guy": Bruh, do you even watch football? Charlie Strong coached under Bob Davie, who employed the 3-4 defense over most of his coaching career. Sure as hell can bet he knows more about the 3-4 than ANYBODY on this current staff. And why would running 3-4 vs a 3-3-5 or a 4-3 make a hiring difference?!? "Chinander has improved the defense": The statistics above I quoted attributed say otherwise. "I'm just telling you what is going to happen and that is Erik Chinander will be our DC next year": I'm not saying it isn't going to happen, but if I flipped a coin right now, and said "heads," and it landed on heads, that makes me right, correct? What fact are you basing this off of, other than your opinion? "At this point firing Chinander isn't an option": Why isn't that an option? Does Chin have illicit photos of Frosty or something? Where are your FACTS, man? EDIT: Just in case you think I'm BULLjiving you about Strong + 3-4 Defense: https://grantland.com/features/an-excerpt-essential-smart-football-birth-3-3-5-defense/ Strong came to South Bend as a position coach under Holtz, but he also coached under Bob Davie, who was the Irish’s defensive coordinator and, after Holtz’s departure, their head coach. Although no one will confuse Davie with Bear Bryant or Paul Brown on a list of coaching legends, he did coach some great defenses. Unfortunately for him, many were before he became Notre Dame’s head coach. Strong learned a number of lessons from Davie’s disruptive 3-4, and he adapted them to his 3-3-5 at South Carolina. For Strong, the 3-3-5 was just Bob Davie’s disrupting 3-4 mixed with some of the newest and best of the NFL’s defenses — essentially an all-the-time nickel package. The defense was designed for a team that didn’t have the personnel to use an extra defensive lineman and would benefit from stacking its linebackers in order to protect them from potential blockers. Seems like he knows a hell of a lot about coaching the 3-4 to me...

No disrespect, but every time I post something in a topic that makes a ton of sense, you seem to always come around to shoot it down. What good reason would you have for not making a step like this? What are the valid reasons why you wouldn't make this step (other than your usual "you must not be bought in with Frost if you think he should fire coaches"? Yes, the offense has had issues all season long. However, I'm more willing to give the offense a bit of a pass because scheming offense is much more complicated than the read and react nature of a defense (having coached on both sides of the ball myself).

Beck is only coaching through the bowl game. After that, he's on the unemployment line. https://247sports.com/college/texas/Article/Texas-Longhorns-football-Tom-Herman-fires-defensive-offensive-coordinator-Todd-Orlando-Tim-Beck-Drew-Mehringer-reassign-Corby-Meekins-staff-changes-139614944/

Uh, not sure if this was said or not, but Minnesota isn't playing for a conference championship right now either, FWIW.

I posted this in another thread, but I figured I'd put it into this one too: I know firing coaches isn't a popular thing for some around here. Trust me, I know. And believe me, I really don't like saying a guy should get fired. But a guy SHOULD get opportunities to get better. Sometime a more sage eye is needed to help someone younger along. This is my plug for bringing in former USF head coach Charlie Strong as co-defensive coordinator. Why? Let's check all the boxes: Players love him?

Agreed right there. Besides - his coach should have made the call to sit him.

Because that is a safety play right there. They saw what Bell did to the Bucky player years ago and created that rule for plays just like that one.

Really? That's what you're gonna go with right now? Five straight years. Let that sink in.

NUCLEAR. Now, if he doesn't fire someone after this.....

And game over. How ironic is this.

It's not like Cam is gonna miss the next game, folks...

Game over. And Targeting.

Game over. Time to start firing folks, people.

That.....is really, REALLY bad play calling.

One big play and it's all over.

Third and long = Chinptonite...

This will be the game winning drive for Iowa right here. If you put pressure on Martinez, he caves.

Thems the plays that get ya beat right there.

Play action fake on the first play by Ferentz. Calling it.

Yes, what was I thinking?!? Also - IF (and that's a big IF) Frost wins today, will that be the first time as a Husker head coach that he's beaten a ranked opponent?

Almost Chinandered.

Let's see what Chinander does.

See what happens when you have a running game?

Frost is NOT trying to win at this point.....why is McCaffery on the sideline?!?
