Huskers93-97

Big fan of the caliber of player they are going after. If the Raiola rumors are true I am sure they have some swagger to swing big

This class could shape up to be a top 10 class. Pair that with some progress and W’s on the field and we might find our way back

Someone call up Saban and find out who the next Kirby Smart is and hire him.

Yes. We don’t need another coach talking about best week of practice ever

Being hung over all the time does that

I get it. But I assume the university was planning on going to Trev at some point right. So did we need a search firm if we knew the hire ahead of time is all I’m saying

Why would we need a search firm to hire Trev? Sounds like huge waste of money.

He is a guard for us. Tackle at Nebraska is 6-9 minimum

The problem with that viewpoint is it is short sighted. Because they say that now. Then once we get consistent 8-4 seasons and win west few times. It won’t be enough we will want 10-11 wins and big ten titles. Point us we say that now cause we are at our low point but expectations will never stay at 8 wins is good enough

I agree. With an already stacked big ten with usc coming we need to step up. You would think Nebraska brass would be embarrassed of how we have looked for 20 years. We are supposed to be a blue blood and equals to Ohio state, Michigan, Penn state and usc. But we have not hired like we belong at that table. Sorry but part of why the big ten brought us on is because they thought they were adding another big name to that table

That was Trevs way of setting the stage for a hire he knew no one would be excited about

Exactly. Same s#!t all the coaches in the past did. They just didn’t have to battle twitter and cell phone cameras to capture it all

Michigan, Ohio state and penn state got solid coaches. USC coming to town soon. We better make some big moves or we fall further down the pecking order and stay there is all I’m saying. But hey let’s hire another guy who ain’t done it but we believe he could some day. It’s like our recruiting- get low rated players but tell ourselves he is under valued and we could see his potential. 15 years of that s#!t and here we are

I can’t but I am not in Trevs position to put feelers out there and I don’t know what kinda $$ Trev is willing to pay. If there is a guy who fits that criteria and is a TO 2.0 like Trev wants for personality and character and he is making 7 or 8 million. Offer him 10 or 11. 11 mill and coach in big ten for historic rich program in Easy big ten west. Man I bet a lot of guys would do it

You didn’t ask me but I will answer. Elite in my mind is a coach who has won more than 1 P5 conference championship which shows consistency. Can consistently recruit top 20 classes and some classes pop into the top 15 to top 10 every few years. Ideally has made a national championship game or playoff appearance. This is the kind of proven winner Nebraska should be pursuing and throwing stupid big ten money at to resume our rightful seat at the blue blood table. But it sounds like the standards of Nebraska have dropped so far we are going to go after guys who haven’t done it yet but we hope our resources will allow them to ascend to greatness here. I just think if we want to be thought of as a blue blood again we need to act like it. USC got tired of trying unproven people so they said f#&% it let’s go steal the coach we want

Well after mavs post of Dave Doeren I did a google search to find out who the f#&% that is. So trending mike Riley

How often does a new hire keep people from the last staff? Rarely. Probably next to never for one of the coordinators.

1. Nick Saban 2. Kirby Smart 3. Urban Meyer 4. Bill Bellichick 5. Ryan Day

I agree with you Mav. 7.5 million isn’t chump change. Upgrade a facility? Put towards next coach?

Values are great. BUT if we have a list of the 10 best coaches in America and the top 5 don’t meet our values we hire the 6th best option? Sorry but the days of college football innocence are gone. This is a business. Conference and rivalry loyalty is gone. Players switch schools every year, NIL $$, coaches getting stolen from other schools between seasons, billions in tv contracts. Etc etc etc. getting another TO who was one of the best coaches in the country and a devoutly honorable man are extremely rare

f#&% it let’s just hire the Ohio state AD to make our hire. They always get it right

We gotta go big boys. Urban Meyer. Pull a USC Lincoln Riley kinda s#!t. We gotta go big. Not up and comer killing it at lower level. A legit dude in P5 now $12 million Kirby smart

Urban Meyer. Don’t give a s#!t bout baggage we need Ws

I think he is confusing talent with being well coached

We still suck
