If Sonny Dykes agent is using huskerboard rumorsville to promote his client I think Dykes needs a new agent

Jags don't have a fanbase like ours. Nattys confirmed

'I kicked the kicker? No, no, no, I showed the kicker how to kick!'

Just have a bad feeling about it. I know he is a great coach and has won at alot of places but to me this scenario seems more likely than playoffs in 3 years.

Does getting close to 60 make it ok to kick a player or look the other way when your assistant coach is acting completely out of line?

What if we pay Urbs 11 million a year and he comes here and fails spectacularly? This idea that Urban will just come here and flip us around is a very optimistic take imo. He could absolutely have success here, but its also a possibility that he doesn't.

'I'm a better fan than you' is how this came off. Just curious, were you there when we lost to Syracuse in 61? Since you've been to all the games. If its so hard to do stop going its pretty simple. I'm sure there is someone else who won't find it so difficult.

Win out Big 10 champs

Seems like a good coach but I don't know anything really. I'm sure there are many other great candidates besides him. We need someone who is gonna want to build this thing from the ground up because it seems we have a ways to go.

Not sure who I would task to fix this situation but Mark Stoops, Chadwell, Rhule. 2 of those seem pretty unrealistic gets but who knows what big money can get us. Im sure there are other quality candidates

What results? We have had the stars to win our division since we got into this league yet we've only managed it once. Obviously stars matter but clearly talent isn't our issue when on paper we should be the best team in the west year in year out. A guy like Benhart that people are crucifying was a highly touted 4 star lineman. He was an elite recruit. We have quite a few of those but frankly you look at the results and they don't match up with the talent we aquire. Stars matter but when you have the recruiting stars to win and you don't clearly other issues are at play.

15-17 and leaving on your own accord is far different than 2-11 and getting fired midseason. Like not even close at all. Nuff said.

He was supposed to be so good for us

Saban didn't fail out of the NFL. He chose to go to Alabama. Urban was ran out of Jacksonville. Big difference. The scenarios are far from parallel. Saban was a good coach but not a college legend at that point. Urban Meyers legacy in college is set as an all time great if he never coaches another game. I'm not saying he can't win here but to me with the current state of the program it would be a big time risk for him to try and right the ship. If he gets it done then yes it further adds to his legacy as an elite college coach and possibly vaults him into the same sentence as Saban. But if he fails to bring us to national prominence he will be more remembered for his failures at the end of his career than for his success early in it. High risk high reward but the thing is he is in a position to quit while he is ahead. If we can land the guy whatever I will support him and our team it just doesn't seem likely at all to me.

At the time it was offered that was alot. These things are relative and in 2017 5 million annual was top dollar

Absolutely and I'm saying failure here drives him even further that direction. He probably does want to go out a winner but he can't afford to lose again IMO. He would be better off as a college legend and NFL failure than a guy who can't coach anymore. Just my 2 cents

The staff is on Frost. I'm just saying we didn't cheap out last time we went after the top prospect with a large contract.

Everybody has money and to redeem himself he needs to win fast. Maybe he can win fast at NU but seems like a risk from his perspective. Failure would be a pretty bad mark on his reputation

And if he can't he is remembered as a has-been failure. Thats the problem. He is already cemented as a great. Could winning at NU take him higher? Yes but is it also incredibly risky? Yes

Ok and what makes you think he would come here?

If he was coming here regardless why did we have to pay him top dollar? We shelled out the money whether he was coming or not that was a huge contract at the time.

He was an up an coming coach trying to cut his teeth when he was coaching for Bowling Green and Utah. Now he has a reputation to uphold and after Jacksonville he can't afford another failure. If you think Sabans stint with the Dolphins is the same as Jacksonville last year maybe its time you refresh your memory. Saban wasn't fired from the Dolphins, he accepted the Alabama job after going 9-7 and 6-10. A far cry from Meyers time in the NFL. And frankly, the Nebraska job is a far cry from the Alabama job. Its easier at Bama plain and simple.

We paid top dollar for Frost who was the hottest coaching prospect at the time. It has little to do with going the cheap route if you ask me

Urban is also a creepy groper who made a bad Jacksonville team way worse. What makes you think he would take this job after what happened in Jacksonville? He needs assured success otherwise he is better off as a mythical being who turns any college program into a national powerhouse.

Why do people think Meyer would be good for this program? Or that he would ever take the job?
