Nebraska top 5 is in place.

I have been told Urban Meyer, Deion Sanders, Mike O'Shea are on the list. Still waiting for the other 2.

Why are some of you still talking about Urban? Trev is not going to hire him!

 

Trev wants a drama-free, longer-term coach to firmly re-establish culture by leading and serving the players. Trev said he is not in a hurry and that he is more interested in getting the right guy.

 

So, highly unlikely Trev takes a risk on Meyer, a 58 year old with heart issues whose best years are behind him with a family that does not want him coaching anymore to coach for a handful of years at most which gives Urban, and Trev, a short window for a "quick fix" after Trev stressed he is not going to rush things.

 

Trev patiently waited to become AD and has probably thought about this decision for many years. He is not going to gamble this decision, his job as AD and his reputation on a "quick fix" with baggage.

right now. Urban is the favorite.

There needs to be interest on both sides for a deal to happen

there is. Alberts has reached out to him.

And Meyer needs NU and knows it would be great for him.

Not happening thanks for the post though

right now he is the favorite to get the job. Its not even close. He is considering it.

Urban needs NU and today proved it. He loved the attention and NU is likely the only football community that would instantly welcome him with no bad discussion.

We know Urban has a massive ego and likely is a cheater but if he can turn it around with the Huskers it changes everything for his look. 

“You think he’s better than what we got?”

This is the title for the Frost Era. And sadly he wasn't the first coach that thought that but Frost could have done the right thing and you just never know what could have been.

Due to the reports of Mike O'Shea agreeing to extension it has not been made official and he is already the hottest Football coach in the sport. 

Trev Alberts who has ties with the CFL and the city of Winnipeg had NU officials in attendance at the big Blue Bombers game yesterday. This has already made the news in Winnipeg and 

it is now known that NU want Mike O'Shea to lead the NU program.

For those who do not know who 'OSH is.

He has literally turned around a struggling franchise and won back to back Grey Cup Championships. Coach of the year and is currently 12-1 and on pace to shattering CFL team and coach records for the '22 season. 

They are currently playing for a 3 peat.

GM is rumored to be stepping down to become AD of an Ontario CIS program. O'Shea last year turned down various NFL offers and a broadcasting offer is currently on the table at TSN Sports.

He is a leader. And players play for him like no other coach. He was a champion as a player and now coach.

NU offer will have to be a good one to leave the CFL and $ wont be the issue. Building a strong program and how they do it is what will make him want to come to Nebraska.

Yes, Mike Riley was a former Blue Bombers and CFL coach. There is that. But O'Shea is on a different level now and might be the coach NU needs.
