I am freaking out about this Florida firing deal. It sounds like Frost is going to be getting some calls. I hope all our assumptions are true and Scott will wait for Nebraska to make a move. .... I hate the gators so much.... The crap they pulled on Mcelwaine, at least Nebraska would give frost patience. 

Word around town is Mike Norvell is their top guy

Matt Campbell would be a really depressing hire.

 

I could think of much more depressing hires. I'd be pretty happy to get Campbell. Was one of the guys I wanted after we fired Bo

Iowa-Northwestern double the over and combine for 94 points. 

Michigan upsets Penn St

TCU-Kansas is a one possession game

Tennessee ends their touchdown drought after 11 quarters sneaking in a TD before halftime at Alabama

I hope we're not hiring Frost.

We need the Big Name out there to really bring in top 10 talent. We need a proven college football head coach. Frost is not that guy. 

I genuinely predict disappointment if we bring in Frost. Spend the money on the biggest name that's willing to come. This cannot be this hard and we cannot keep repeating this cycle.

I mean Dabo Swinney was a receivers coach before becoming the head coach at Clemson, Kirby Smart was never a head coach before taking the Georgia job-look at them now, Bob Stoops, Jimbo Fisher, heck even David Shaw at Stanford. There's no perfect formula for finding a great head coach, some guys just have "it". Scott Frost is a guy who has had success everywhere he's been, could he disappoint? Of course, there's a risk with every hire you make, but if I'm the AD I'm willing to bet on the guy who was able to take an 0-12 team to one of the best looking teams in football in just two years.

As I said a few replies up, David Shaw or Mark Dantonio.

I wanted Dantonio to come in after Bo was fired.

Shaw makes 4.1 million a year and coaches for his alma mater, in a state he grew up in, why on God's green earth would he come here? Unless you're suggesting we go all out and double his salary which would put him over Saban, which I love Shaw and the program he runs but he's not worth Saban money.

There should be a new rule around here and that is you can't assume the identity of an administrator of the University of Nebraska, player, or coach, use their personal name as a username on the forum. It's idiotic to see people (like you) assume the identity of such a person and to make matters worse, include a picture of them. I wish such a rule was enforced and your account was banned. Lately, you have been making idiotic posts under the name and photo of our Athletic Director. What a shame 

 

I suppose I can make a complaint to a moderator?

 

Negotiate out of the Big 10 right when the big money starts coming in. Yeah, makes sense

We've struggled against Purdue the last two years with Darrell Hazell and whoever their interim was last year. Looking like we lose another night game on BTN

I mean we even let Callahan finish out the year, so I really wasn't expecting Riley to be let go midseason. Patience grasshopper

Why do we keep hiring people from the PAC12? They are insignificant at best compared to all the other power five leagues. The only person I would take from that league is Scott Frost who is a product of Tom Osborne. I do not know the guy but having experienced what the PAC12 offers, I am not sure he is the answer. We will see if he is depending on what he does with the HC of the football team. 

Alabama just hired an AD from Arizona this past offseason. Just because our last Athletic Director made a bad hire from that conference doesn't mean we should ignore the conference as a whole.

Riley is still here because he hasn't been fired yet. He hasn't been fired because no coach that's worth anything would want to come here. Every coach NU has hired this century has been fired in short order and ended up hating the fan base. There is only two year's worth of decent recruits in the cupboard. This place is the graveyard of coaches. 

Illinois in 2015 for me. The whole time I couldn't believe what a terrible gameplan they had, and then just the way it ended. I knew for sure after that game that Riley would never work out here

Larry the f'ing Cable Guy tweeted "fire the AD" and he was gone within 48 hours. 

 

Hahahaha. 

We had a regent Facebook post about firing the AD! LOL 

I don't think Nebraska is looking to Larry the Cable Guy when it comes to hiring and firing people. I've been tweeting that we should fire Mike Riley, but when we actually fire him it doesn't mean the Hank Bounds is basing his decision on my feelings.

Just had a puke in the gut feeling when I thought..."probably someone that is not even on anyone's list that we've seen or heard about"...kind of like HCMR!!!

 

Think I'd be happy in this order of those listed:   Mullen, White, then Long.  Or Del Monte with a big surprise!!!

I feel the same way after I thought we were getting Tressel a few years ago and ended up with Riley. I really hope it's not Jeff Long

If he is fired after Saturday, our coach is probably Bob Diaco for a year and a half.  Someone has to be the PATSY for 2018's nasty schedule, nobody wants that person to be Scott Frost.  See Luke Fickell in 2011 before Urban Meyer.

This is one of the absolute dumbest things being thrown around on this board. The Luke Fickell situation is completely different he was taking over a program that was going through NCAA allegations. Having a lame duck coach for a full season? That's ludicrous, and would kill a full year of recruiting. Who cares what the schedule looks like, WIsconsin just last year had to play LSU, at Michigan and Ohio St. All they did was go out and make the Big 10 championship.

That's satire right? That has to be satire

2-4. Iowa is going to run all over us, Penn St and Ohio St are going to put up ridiculous numbers. Purdue, Minnesota and Northwestern are toss ups. What's sad is we can easily lose out a lot like Florida's 2013 season under Muschamp where they lost their last 7 games including a loss to Georgia Southern

Who ever the next coach is, they will have to recruit players for a system thats not in place right now.  West Coast offenses just don't work in the power 5 division.  Pro Style, maybe.  Spread option attacks will win games, but haven't won a playoff series yet.  I think you have to be able to play smashmouth football with some passing options.  Pro Style is probably the best fit.  Alabam runs a pro style offense, with pro style players!

 

Mobile Qb's still win in college football.  I don't like LSU and those coordinators.  They have sucked the life out of LSU already.  They can't produce a game plan to beat Troy.  How would they last here?  Schools have identities.  Nebraska and LSU are power football teams.  They win by running the ball and playing defense.  Simple isn't it?

I feel like I got schizophrenia just by reading this. Also Clemson runs the spread and won the championship last year, the first year of the college football playoff had two spread teams in the championship, Auburn made it to the 2013 championship as a spread team, Notre Dame in 2012, Auburn-Oregon in 2011.......

Give the man another contract extension

Why are we still talking about Bo?

We aren’t firing Riley this year so just get over it. Honestly all the talk is getting so annoying and way too much negativity. Are we a good team? Not really, but he’s going nowhere so either support the team or shut up.

You are correct, and we should support our coach and our team. Although declining in number, there are still too many in our fan base living in the 90s, and think it is as simple as  hiring yet another new coach to return to national prominence. With so many fans with unrealistic expectations, who would want the job? I am glad Riley has stuck with us.

Well today I learned that Mike Riley has taken the Kevin Durant route making multiple accounts to say good things about himself. Very hip
