I see the "we have the talent" argument over and over. I don't necessarily disagree. But I don't think we actually retain the talent. Under Frost, he's brought in talent and then I'd argue 75-90% of that talent doesn't play or goes AWOL. Something is seriously wrong with his roster management. In year 5, how are we playing Colin Feist, Wyatt Leiwer, Chris Kolarevic, Brody Belt...how? It's unacceptable. Absolutely unacceptable. You cannot win without the race horses. Where are they? Why did Frost continously force out talent season after season? Something tells me he is a divisive personality. He brings in talent, talks them up, then they go awol or leave. So I agree...but I think I would amend it as Nebraska can pull in the talent. Yes, they can. Most coaches who will coach there can. But who can retain it and develop it? And actually play the guys they invested time into?

Mike Locksley would be the death of the program. FIre a loser and hire an even bigger loser.

Maybe we shouldn't hire a head coach at all. Everybody does it. Let's de different and just not have one. Or just put a pinecone on the sideline. I swear a pinecone would have won more games than Frost. Even if it was just one more game, that's how bad Frost was.

On the topic or Urby... I don't know if this is legit, but Dan Patrick claims Urby is interested in Nebraska and Arizona State. I think this presents a unique path for Urby. Does he want to have fun in the sun, having the ASU female student base grind on him in the desert paradise, or does he want to team up with Trev and be the guy known to fix Husker football and also clean up his image? Honestly, it's up to Urby what he wants most out of life right now. Now..we don't know if Urby is even realistic. This is taking Dan Patrick at face value. Taken at face value, Urby has two clear paths and a life decision at stake as well.

Urban would be an amazing hire! i'm not against it at all!

I like this. This isthe right approach. Now is not the time for young or up and coming status. Need stability, experience, and proven records

See Florida has been in a constant state of desperation since Urby stepped down. I don't think we can pin any Florida knee jerk reaction on the coach. He was 34-15 at Florida. They fired him because they hated his PR and they felt they should win more games. I think the difference is right now Nebraska just needs to win some games. Not saying Mullen is the guy...just pointing out his record is stable just like alot of other coaches being thrown out

I see people laugh him off, but I mean...look at his career record. He will win games and lose some as well. but he will win some too. Typically he wins more than he loses, but sometimes he loses too. With Frost right now it's just an endless losing feeling. We need stability more than a home run in my opinion. But of course, I am reacting to a snakebite and not reacting like a proud winner.

i'm not for him, I just think landing someone with a relatively stable body of work would be good. This is where Dave Aranda or Jim Leonard would scare me. I'm thinking we try to land someone with wins under their belt over maybe a decade of results

haha it's Gus Malzahn But Matt Campbell, Matt Rhules, Lane Kiffins, and Bryan Harsin's of the world have similar head coaching records in FBS. My struggle is I just don't see the difference between any of them. I guess at the end of the day if they can just win some games each season it'd be fine

Would you hire this coach based on his career record? 87–43

It will be interesting. The responses have provided me a boost in hope. I'm not sure why, but Bill O'Brien doesn't make me feel comfy even though he worked miracles at Penn State.

I'm looking through the lens of a very bad period...i didn't mention championships, by winning I simply meant I just want to win 6-9 games a season so we aren't a laughing stock anymore

I would love to win 6-9 games a season after witnessing the alternative. I'd sign a contract in blood if I could

Frost has left me feeling snakebitten. I just don't see how any coach can win here. I want to believe it, but i'm struggling. I'm just not feeling good about the program in general.

Have we considered what coaching at Nebraska would do to Urby's health? Would he want that stress?

I turned 35 today. I was born in Columbus, Ohio...where college football around Buckeye fans is hell every year. I'm a die hard, loyal Husker fan as long as I can remember. I signed up to pour my heart out. It will get trolled mercilessly, I'm sure...but at this point, for the first time as a fan, I don't want to watch them play again. This program is tired, patched together, and down right not worth the time. The reason I'm such a loyal fan was because of my father. He passed unexpectedly less than a month ago on August 18 @ 3:30 PM. I was so excited to watch games with him this season, clinging to what must have been a single dental floss worth of a thread of hope. I think it's time for me to step away from this program as a fan to reflect on more important things. This product isn't worth my time anymore. Not anytime soon this year, at least.
