Not going to be a Rutgers type comeback in this one. Swing all you want Mickey, your team is slow, weak, and just too untalented to win this one.

ok I'll remove it and we'll take the FBS ranked winning percentage as is

I actually hate doing anything with recruiting rankings for a few reasons: 1) is a composite of all ranking sites really a fair grade? I have my doubts. 2) How do we factor in transfers in/out, because; 3) I learned under Frost recruiting rankings are basically useless if you can't develop or refuse to play your recruits and/or if they ultimately decide they are butt hurt/their coach is an idiot and transfer out. basically , I don't trust recruiting rankings therefore I wouldn't find the exercise rewarding. the value Nebraska has gotten out of recruiting classes, in recent times especially, has to be very low. So my mind concludes, how useful is it? Of course, we've just recently discovered Frost was running a dumpster fire from literally day 1...so maybe they are reliable just not for Nebraska? it feels very manufactured while at least a football win can be treated as nothing other than a football win in my mind. Wins vs. ranked opponents would be kinda fun! it still feels grey to me, but i'd use wins vs. opponents ranked at the end of the season rather than ranked the week they are playing in. Just my personal belief rankings during the season are at least half used to boost interest and ratings in the tv agenda world. And end of season rankings seem more honest. I'd have to remove NFL results (unless we include playoff teams for fun?), and would consider removing anyone who has coached less than 5 FBS seasons unless they just ended up coached against several top 25 teams in a short duration. You've convinced me to take on the winning percentage vs FBS ranked end of season+NFL season playoff teams project. I may have to move Aranda off the list unless he has enough games against ranked teams to sink into. eh..i'll leave him since he seems to be some type of candidate. I might add in Troy Calhoun and Jeff Monken just because. I guess I should add Bob Stoops as well. For anyone wondering FBS wining percentages for three added coaches are : Jeff Monken - 60.6% Troy Calhoun - 59.9% Bob Stoops - 79.9%

IDK they certainly don't sustain wins over time like other coaches do. Also, asking if i'm trolling seems odd. I'm just laying out why I prefer Urban Meyer, Chris Petersen, and Luke Fickell as prime candidates. Those don't seem like coaches I'd be publicly behind if I'd be trolling.

I see it differently. To me trying to include Scott Frost as the reason not to rely on experienced career results is adding to the story. I guess I'll list what number season of head coaching each person has completed or will be completing at the end of this season for the FBS+NFL combined level if it will help with transparency: Matt Rhule - 10 Lance Leipold - 8 Dave Clawson - 14 Bill O'Brien - 9 Mark Stoops - 10 Hugh Freeze - 10 Dave Aranda - 3 Matt Campbell - 12 Lane Kiffen - 13 Bronco Mendenhall - 17 Dan Mullen - 13 Dave Doeren - 12 Clay Helton - 9 Jamie Chadwell - 5 David Shaw - 12 Kyle Whittingham - 18 Gus Malzahn - 11 Luke Fickell - 7 Chris Petersen - 14 Urban Meyer - 17 I bolded Dave Aranda because I realized he is in his 3rds season only. This to me alone is a big risk, but who knows.

Frost completed just his 2nd season as coach when he achieved 73%. Fickell is completing his seventh. Not weeding out anything. All of the guys listed have several seasons of head coaching under their belts and aren't learning on the job anymore.

total career head coach wins with FBS/NFL combined. No Division1/2/3 or whatever the lower levels are known as these days. The NFL win totals don't really affect anyone other than Bill O'Brien, just brings him down from 62.5% Sure - guys can find success in bunches of season or in a bottle/vacuum. Grains of salt can be applied. I've applied grains of salt to the last several coaching hires and they all were frustrating, so I'm just relying on win percentage this time around. Anything less than 70% but greater than 60% to me is comparable to the current West coaches and we'll win some games, have some seasons where we can compete for the division, and solidify bowl appearances. Less than 60% is Mike Riley territory. I mean for Matt Rhule fans, if you want to take out NFL results and bump him to a 52% sub-60 tier coach and sell him as the best option...go ahead.

FBS+NFL winning percentages of various coaches in ascending order of coaches in the rumor mill with several added by me: Matt Rhule - 45.3% Lance Leipold - 50% Dave Clawson - 52.4% Bill O'Brien - 53.1% Mark Stoops - 53.4% Hugh Freeze - 57.6% Dave Aranda - 58.6% Matt Campbell - 60.6% Lane Kiffen - 60.8% Bronco Mendenhall - 62.5% Dan Mullen - 62.8% Dave Doeren - 63% Clay Helton - 64.5% Jamie Chadwell - 65.5% David Shaw - 65.7% Kyle Whittingham - 67.1% Gus Malzahn - 67.9% Luke Fickell - 72% Chris Petersen - 79.5% Urban Meyer - 81.5% It's inexcusable for Trev not to be courting Meyer/Petersen, with Fickell as the 3rd option. The fact that he's obsessed with sub 60 coaches makes me assume Trev is Eichorst in an Alberts mask. I won't believe anything else until proven wrong by Trev and only Trev.

Hope IGC's next destination has a supply of diapers for him

I learned it's possible to party naked alone on a Friday night

Who would've thought it'd be Bert breathing down our necks in the division title race?

let's storm Indy now

yes and it feels so dirty

The good news everyone is if you shower after watching that game we are still 3-3

NJVIAGNOIGEJKL;GEMJQG9GGJEIOJGEIOJE3I This is how I feel and what i wish I could express on this board after victory

The Biggest Surprise of the night is finding out Petros Papadakis still calls games for Fox

THE FAKE VICTORY FORMATION FUMBLE YES RUB IT IN BOYS

VICTORY FORMATION TWO GAMES IN A ROW WHAT IS THIS

MY BOYS WE DID IT!

obvious this has to come back

you can't manage the clock better than that. Mickey did all he could do

keep the clock running

Frost is so drunk, he's phoning in to the Rutgers staff

What if Frost is hijacking our opponents and helping us the rest of the way?

Maybe we bomb it deep and when succesful, call it the "Holy Cornhole"
