The Scarlet Pimpernel

Why would he leave Tennessee where he's currently ranked in the Top 5 and is now a savior in the state for reviving their program?

why would Lane leave Ole Miss to come here? That’s a step down.

I gotta admit, you guys are making a convincing argument for Deion. The more I read, the more I like the idea. He’d definitely create a much-needed buzz around the program that has been missing for a while, and would make Nebraska a “cool” school again. I just don’t see it happening due to the culture clash.

Examples?

I said from the beginning that we need a big-name hire who can lure top talent to Lincoln, and was shot down and was told that recruiting and name value are overrated. It's shocking how many people are content with a safe, middle-of-the-road, lame duck, plain Jane vanilla hire who will never get them to the top of the mountain... content with being on the level of Iowa and Minnesota and Iowa State. How sad is that.

Unfortunately many people still view Deion as flashy, arrogant, showboating. They haven't seen his transformation and don't care to. All they know is they don't care for him.

Yeah but look how long it took. It wasn't til Year 8 at Wake that they had a breakout season. I don't think Nebraska has that much patience.

For someone who supposedly didn't care for recruiting, he did pretty darn well at Florida. Also, the post I replied to specifically mentioned Florida fans' complaints, not MS State.

He finished Top 15 every year he was there

I'd be happy with any of these: Urban Meyer Chris Petersen Dave Aranda Tom Herman Todd Monken Kyle Whittingham Mark Stoops Matt Rhule Mike Gundy Lane Kiffin Bret Bielema Dan Mullen Which means we likely won't get any of these

Pretty sure he just wants to be certain that MJ will be on staff in some capacity next season.

I admire your optimism, and I hope you're right.

Just a hunch. I just don't think Trev will reach out due to the backlash he'd receive from the more traditional fans. Plus they'd cost a pretty penny and I don't think he wants to spend that much.

I've always backed up my claims with data/statistics/evidence, or past history. You just choose to say it's irrelevant or meaningless to suit your purpose. As far as your questions, the only one who comes to mind is Hugh Freeze at Ole Miss, although we know now that he did it illegally. But again, you're missing the point. If we don't get a big name like Meyer or Deion - and we're not - we need someone who will be capable of recruiting top classes. Not overnight, but in the years that follow. Guys like Klieman, Campbell, and Leipold have not shown that they're capable of doing that. Yeah I know people say it's harder to recruit to their current spots, but moving to Lincoln isn't suddenly going to make any of them a better recruiter, despite our resources. As far as the other question you asked, I'm just trying to show you that you're not always right. Many, MANY times over the past decade I've made statements that turned out to be true, yet at the time I was told how wrong and pessimistic I was being. The Chinander thing is an example. Yet not one single time have I ever seen you admit that you were wrong. Instead you twist things or you say "I don't recall that/that wasn't me" and that I'm just trying to get a pat on the back, etc. That's why debating with you is pointless.

nice to see Palmer with the record.

doubtful

problem is, our defense can't stop them.

LOL I'm not playing anything. I just know from multiple past confrontations that debating with you is useless.

from what I was told he now has an AD he likes and OSU is his alma mater so...

Why does that matter? Point was, you never answered.

No, you didn't. It's not that I don't have an argument; it's that I'm not interested in arguing with you. I've learned from past experience that there's no winning those arguments because any viewpoint other than yours is wrong in your eyes.

Happens so often, it's pretty much what I've come to expect. You never responded to the last question I asked you, so once I get that answer, then maybe I'll answer.

It has to do with no matter what I post, you make a snarky comment. Just accept that we're polar opposites when it comes to our opinions regarding this program and move on.
