  1. There are a lot of similarities between Martinez and Thompson. However in situations when we needed Martinez to drive and win the game, i had practically no confidence in him doing so. I always expected a terrible pick or untimely fumble. Right now I think I would have a lot more confidence in Thompson
  2. Hopefully our NIL situation helps with getting high end talent
  3. I think you're spot on here. If he got in the right program under the right HC he could turn into a good HC. A lot like what appears to have happened with Lane Kiffin and Steve Sarkisian after they spent time with Saban
  4. That's definitely a possibility. All I know is that whomever the HC and OC are, I hope they have a ton of success!
  5. I wasn't trying to say that Whip sucks, however he's not going to be here long before sailing off into retirement. I think HCMJ will want someone who'll be here for more than a year or two
  6. IF Joseph gets the HC gig, I believe he will look for the best OC he can find and Whip would get moved to analyst if he wanted to stay around. The only way Whip would stay on as OC is if Joseph couldn't find a quality OC to take his place. If NU will open up the checkbook then I dont see that being a problem
  7. I truly wonder how the game vs OU would have looked if HCMJ would have had fired Chins and had a bye week to get things in order
  8. It's crazy what can happen when you simplify the scheme and just let the guys be confident and play fast!
  9. I like the aggressiveness, it was the execution that was terrible
  10. If anyone should understand the offense Wisconsin runs and how to stop it, it's Bielema.
  11. I'm glad a guy with your high end Illinois degree uses Wiki for research
  12. Prior to Frost's disappointing run at Nebraska, this would have been laughable. Frost was coming off an undefeated season at UCF, beating Auburn in a bowl game, in his 2nd year as HC. He was the hottest up and coming coach on the market. It was considered by everyone to be a fantastic hire by Nebraska. Unfortunately it did not work out. Deion has now coached 2 season at Jackson State and has success as well. When you look at their coaching resumes side by side, prior to Frost being at Nebraska, there's no way you can make that claim. And that's not even including his time as a coordinator
  13. Deion doesnt strike me as the time to be disinterested. I think the reason he would struggle in Lincoln would be is larger than life personality might not mesh well
  14. Ive read that if Auburn fires their coach, he is a serious candidate for that job. I think if/when he gets a P5 gig, it'll be in the south
  15. I think at Nebraska more importantly than getting an offensive or defensive minded coach, Nebraska needs a developer at HC. A guy who takes classes ranked between 20-30 and develops them from there. That is how Nebraska is going to get back into the upper echelon of CFB again. Nebraska will always struggle to pull the same caliber players as the Ohio Sts, Michigans, and Oklahomas of the CFB world. BUT I think it can pull the same caliber athletes as Arkansas, Kentucky, and other schools that are in the top 15. If Nebraska gets a coach that can develop what some might consider a little lesser talent, you'll see the wins increase, and with the wins, the recruiting gets better. But if I had to choose, I'd prefer a defensive minded coach.
  16. I've mentioned Leipold on a couple different threads now. I think he's the best program builder that we have a realistic shot at getting. I know a lot of people like Campbell and rightfully so, and the comparisons between him and Riley are totally unfair. BUT I think Leipold is a better hire. He understands what it takes to build a program from the ground up, as evidenced by his time at Buffalo and short time at KU. Two years ago KU's program was in a worse spot then NU is right now and right now they would beat NU. They have less talent, less resources, and less of pretty much everything than Nebraska. The turnaround he has performed there in less than 2 years from where they were when he got there is nothing short of miraculous. Hire this guy away from KU and I'd bet almost anything that in 3 years we will see a ton of player development and in 5 years were in the BIG championship
  17. If he only loses to OU or Michigan then Trev will be forced to keep him. I am rooting for him, but it's no secret that Trev was reaching out to coaches last year, and unless Mickey sets the world on fire and we go on a tear, I think he already has a pretty dang good idea who's interested and probably even has it narrowed down to a pretty short list
  18. Somebody said Fuke Lickell in another thread!
  19. I heard it was not only the best practice so far, but lineman were puking everywhere!
