    The bad news is a lot of schools can spend whatever they want.

     

    Brinks trucks are on many many campuses now.

     

    Lincoln Rikey.  Bank.

     

    Mel Tucker.  Bank.

     

    Every B1G and SEC school.  Bank.

     

    .....with no guarantee of success.  Just the guarantee of a buyout if things don't go well enough 

     

    The bank needs to go to the players, which it is at UNL.

    I think we learned what a lot of us don't want to admit for some reason.

     

    The Big Ten West is horrible.

     

    Wisconsin was in a dog fight at half with Illinois State

    Iowa is an embarrassment 

    PU crapped themselves vs a PSU team that is 500 in its last 25 games

     

    We are in no position to say any of this.

    No, people wanna throw the loyal coach away after 45 games, 15 of which we've won, over five years.

     

    Five years - zero bowl games.

     

    Five years - two wins against teams with winning records.

     

    Five years - 5-21 in one-score games

     

    Five years - 30 losses, most of which are the results of acts of self-sabotage by our head coach himself.

     

     

     

     

    Can you name me one great coach in the last 80 years of football who had 15 wins in five years?

     

     

    This seems implausible at the P5 level.

    I'd be tremendously surprised if he went to Auburn.  Not sure if you've read this yet but it sounds like he hated his time at LSU.  Auburn is essentially a worse version of LSU with crazier boosters plus you're in the same state as Alabama.  You take the Auburn job to get fired and get a huge buyout.  That's literally it.

    This is great, thank you.  

     

     

    Sounds like he would hate Lincoln.

    The good news is that Nebraska spend whatever it wants on a quality coach. 

     

    Furthermore, nearly anybody - and this is not hyperbole - will be an improvement over Scott Frost. It literally can't get worse than what he's done to this program. 3-9 last year,  15-30 overall with what awaits Nebraska this November? It's bad. 

     

    Perhaps Nebraska can entertain a guy like Aranda who's inherited a difficult situation in a program, much worse than Nebraska, and turned things around for Baylor. If Nebraska wants to gamble and pay a coach less, Chadwell is an option as well. Coaches like Campbell, Rhule, or nearly anybody would be fine as well. All would be improvements. 

     

     

    Aranda is bound for the SEC. He has Auburn written all over him

    Need a coach who understands in this league strong line play is not super flashy but gets you wins in the big ten. 

     

    This is Bill O'Brien or Matt Rhule. 

     

    But O'Brien has some Bo in him. 

     

    For those who think Kiffin (or even Shaw) would take the Husker job, on what planet is Nebraska a better gig than Ole Miss? And Stanford will be attractive to the Big Ten or whatever super conference you pick. Also a step down would be coming to Lincoln.

    Hiring a guy with out even having been a coordinator would be a mistake.  Mickey Joseph should not get the job. Recruiting WR won't win us a damn thing,  we've been doing that for a while.  We need lineman, defense and ST.

     

    Must be someone with HC experience.  P5 if possible but someone like Chadwell if not.

     

    This is will be a unique offseason with many of those types available

    He is an example of a guy who can build a college program.  His schtick doesn't translate to the NFL.

     

     

    Exactly. The job he did at Temple is closer to what is will be in Lincoln. Built from the ground up, quickly, and not by identifying scheme fits, either. They put tremendous players in the NFL. And he uses a fullback, so your uncle in Western Nebraska will be happy.

    Nebraska can cut off press access. Remember last year when the press went negative on Frost when there was a lot of talk that he was done, then magically started pushing for one more year?

     

    That's because Trev got his answer from the boosters and admin and the U had to 180 its campaign to get the fans ready.

     

    You guys are crazy if you think our press doesn't take marching orders.

     

     

    Who thinks that?
