Whiskey drunk if we lose.
Beer drunk if we win.
Win or Lose.... WE BOOZE.

To add to the Sandy Hook comments:
This...A guy walked into a classroom and killed 20 children. And as a country we made zero changes. I guess we need to get used to this as a country? This is what we are now. This is back to back years we've had the largest mass shooting in US history (Orlando 2016). Also the top 4 largest mass shootings in US history have happened in the last 10 years. Probably a trend that won't change.

I'd hate to be the "national search" guy with no Nebraska ties to come in and replace Dave Rimington.
Easy solution: don't let that happen.
Maybe Dave likes his current job and NYC. Maybe he has no ambition to be our AD past 60 days.

Per espn. Always good to be referenced with power programs such as: UNLV, Army, Rutgers and Maryland

I was on the football team during the transition. It was weird. A lot of anger from us towards the administration. We walked out of the athletic department wide meeting where they annouced the change. Went to the locker room
and attempted to take everything not bolted to the wall (and somethings that were). The 2011 version of me hated Trev, though I had friend playing baseball, golf, basketball that benefitted from the transition. In the back of my mind I know that the decision wasn't Trevs, he was just the guy hired to tell us. And from another perspective, I worked as a compliance intern at Omaha after the fact and Trev was professional and seemed like an all around good guy. Just providing my 2 cents.

Hey Great! Every new coach lets just lower the bar one game! 9 Wins for Pelini, 8 wins for Riley! Somebody please tell Frost all he has to do is win 7!
7-2 in th B1G isn't good enough for you? BTW pelini won 7 conf games once. So Riley doing it in year 3 wouldn't be lowering the bar. And just in case I get a smart ass remark, I'm not expecting him to do it - I'll just give credit if he does.

Win 7 B1G games and I don't care if you're Martha f'ing Stewart.

Have you been watching the Penn State vs Iowa game? They will destroy Riley and his staff.
Not saying they'll win. Just saying we have a man coaching for his job and has checkmarks to hit. Don't really give a f#*k how he does it, win 7 games by 2 points. Just get there and I'll be happy.
-
Maybe I'm alone. I don't care if we beat Illinois and Wisconsin both by 3 points. Get to 7-2 in the B1G and I'm happy.

If Iron Mike gets there, he stays. 7-2 in the B1G is plenty good enough with our schedule. 7-5 and 6-6 is the danger zone. 5 and under and we have a exciting huskerboard off-season of tracking flights.

Yeah, looks like I need to re-evaluate this. Riley has been worse than even I expected, then again..this is classic Riley stuff here. He loses to someone he shouldn't, holds it together for a period of time, and then usually beats someone he shouldn't. So I wouldn't be shocked if we still go 7-5 with a win over someone we have no business beating.
to me it doesn't matter what the guy does at this point. We just need to excise him and SE from the program.
One of the movies in the Lord of the rings trilogy has this character who is like a once legendary King. He ruled over this particular area of the world, and then became decrepit and feeble. At one point Gandalf goes to visit him because he wants his help, and in this particular scene, it shows the king he looks sickly and awful slumped over in his chair, no interest in Gandalf, barely responding, everything in total disarray. As it turns out, the King was possessed by the evil mage, Gandalf expelled the make from the king, and the King returned to prominence, helped Gandalf fight his war etc.
that whole element of the movie is so representative of the state of our program for the last however many years. I fell like Nebraska is that former king who is now decrepit...possessed by horrible leadership:individuals who have held it back. Our "Gandalf" will eventually come (probably SE's replacement), and excise the demons which currently possesses/hamper the program.
(I also enjoy LOTR)

Trev Alberts is the choice of most common opinions. Devaney wasn't experienced in anything other than football either but was AD for some time. Hired some decent coaches in other sports as well. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to hire the best available coach in any sport, does it?
Frost would play for anyone as AD, as long as that AD had his back for a few years.
Like him or hate him, Alberts securing funds to hire Dean Blais and get UNO a frozen four appearance is extremely impressive notch on his belt.

I'm going to assume that this guy said some pretty bad things during this bus ride? Otherwise getting fired for yelling at players on a bus makes me think there was maybe more going on with this coach.
None of the players thought anything of it at the time. Herold was also fired two months after the season so the whole thing really makes no sense. Like I said I always like Trev, just this situation never sat well with me.

Bothered you how? The fact that it was done, the manner in which it was handled, the fact that you liked the guy...?
He was well respected by everyone, very loyal to the university. He was fired because there was a compliant about him yelling at the players on the bus after a game. Seemed like a crappy way to treat a coach who had been there for a long time and had given the school their first two summit league titles.

Alberts would be a solid choice, not just because he's a former player. Dude is sharp, pragmatic, experienced and willing to make tough decisions that may be unpopular but are ultimately the right thing to do.
I had an internship within UNOs athletic department (not a brag as I was literally an unpaid intern). Trev was smart, professional and an all around good dude. One thing that bothered me though was his firing of coach Bob Herold last year. Bob was one of the most genuine and respectful coaches I've had the pleasure of knowing and on top of that was probably the best coach in UNOs department. Just my 2 cents.

"Nebraska remains desperate for relevancy."
National Media references a coaching change - Dan Mullen.
Gonna see a lot more of these articles if the season continues to spiral.

So who is to blame for that? The coaches or the players?
Coaches. I've heard both Nick Bahe and Damon mention it the past two days. Our previous coach would spit in the players faces and scream at them on national television. Our new coach smiles and probably gives them a "go get em next time". Neither of those go far in terms of accountability, building confidence and providing motivation.

Could be? The Athletic Department has been a cluster-eff for a number of years.
Just now, unlfan said:Yes, very likely. However, drastic times call for drastic measures. I think most would agree a house cleaning is in order. Need some more risk takers in my opinion. Every decision since and including the SE hire has been so traditional and conservative. Need to think outside of the box type of minds in there.
I was going to revise that statement - It already is a clusterf**k. But Coaching hires stress me out to begin with, that would be 3 crucial hires in a year, stability would be nowhere in sight.
Unl - Agreed, the AD hire would be the most important hire of the three. Need a guy with a vision.

Good lord, this thread has given me an anxiety attack just thinking about what a clusterf**k this athletic department could be. In all likelihood we would be hiring a new AD, football coach and basketball coach within the same 12 month period.

Is OP @FrantzHardySwag actually Frantz Hardy that played for UNL?
Haha I am not. Thought of the most obscure husker I could think of and went with it.

With top 15 talent, he coached some good losses . That's the point you feel I conveniently left out?
4 losses within a touchdown in year 2, including FSU and national Champ Auburn. BCS bowl in year 3. If Riley could match that resume he would be fine. Hell if he can finagle his way to 7+ wins he will be fine.

I don't know about the option, but I'd settle on concentrating on doing one thing very well and not doing 100 things s#!tty.

In order of preference:
1. Scott Frost
2. Chip Kelly
3. Troy Calhoun
4. D.J. Durkin
5. Craig Bohl
I see a lot of coaches listed here who are big names and have been successful who I don't think would be good long term solutions at Nebraska, chiefly because of the offensive styles they employ not matching up with the players we have greatest access to and Nebraska's built-in recruiting disadvantages. In our most successful years, we ran an offense that embraced and maximized the abilities of the talent we had greatest access to.
I think a coach is needed who employs a run-first offensive mentality with a physical, brutal O-line (yes, I realize me having Kelly at 2 seems contradictory to that), where the QB is also a fixture in the run game. Nebraska will never consistently out-recruit schools like USC, Miami, Texas, and Alabama, but with the right coach(es), right scheme, and right values/mentality, I don't think it needs to in order to have sustained success.
Frost #1 because I think he understands what he'd be walking into here--the expectations, what it would take to be successful. I think he understands the pressure the job would bring, and I think fans would be more patient with the homegrown kid who was a national championship winning QB here and still early into his coaching career than a more established coach we would expect to win big and right away.
Plus this right here shows me he GETS IT:
“I’ve actually been going to work trying to restudy what we used to do at Nebraska. . . . [W]hat we ran at Nebraska in a lot of ways is very similar to what Oregon runs right now — we’re just out of the shotgun versus under center. But a lot of the concepts of the option game are the same. . . . I would love to see somebody go back to doing what Nebraska used to do. Maybe the Huskers are going to do that this year. Personally, I’d love to someday mix a lot of the concepts that Oregon runs with some of the aspects Nebraska used to run. . . . The one thing I wish we could do at Oregon is be a little more physical. I don’t think that’s a secret. I think everybody on our staff wishes we could be a little more physical on offense. That’s what Nebraska’s calling card was. If we could play fast and physical, I don’t think there’s anybody in the country who could stop us.”
http://smartfootball.com/uncategorized/combining-tom-osbornes-nebraska-offense-with-chip-kellys-oregon-offense-the-stuff-dreams-are-made-of#sthash.qJ3zSLh6.dpbsLet me start off by saying as football coaches, I like all those dudes - Calhoun needs way more credit than he gets. But unless you have a homerun lined up, you can't fire Riley for another "project" hire. Give Riley 4-5 years or get someone that has won a Conf Title in a major conference. I think Bielema would crush it here, he has owned the B1G west and husker fans would absolutely eat up his style of play.

Ohio State loading the shotgun and ready to put this staff out of their misery. Can't remember going into a two game stretch expecting to get beat by 20+ in both at home. (Will happily eat crow if we play well next week).
