Crappy win sure feels better than a crappy loss

He's from Des Moines. Only about 1.5 hours farther to Lincoln than Iowa City.

Home is home for some people

This is kind of fun what football has become. A head coach with a career record of 34-48 that is 0-3 in bowl games gets a 5 year contract for god knows what kind of $$$.

Definitely? Kind of how it work really. Was a bunch of dominos.

Nice job

I hope we hire every available coach from every disbanded staff of a successful team. Sincerely, Huskerboard Members

agree. thats why i'd take a run at liepold.

I'd go after Leipold if it was my call. I know he's 60, but they are going to need a "transition coach" after Saban. Bring him in for 5-7 years and allow people to move on from Saban. A lot like we never talk about Osbourne any more.... He's got a ton of experience and I think he'd do a good job.

I'm sure many people get many different takes from this. My first is "Nice Sweatshirts". But seriously, to me it shows how many things must be right or "inline" to be successful. There are so many parts of the machine that must be working in order to win.

From what I understand we are figuring out the NIL game and how to maximize our scholly's

Dude is obviously a beast, but those are "no reps" where I come from.

Nobody wants to follow Saban. It's a real issue. It's going to be a challenge to win there I believe. At least they success they are use to. What Saban was able to do while turning over coaches that got promoted every year I still don't think it talked about enough. Yeah, he won a lot of games, but he was constantly doing it with new coaches. Roll Tide!

I'm glad we found out in 4+ years and it didn't linger for a decade plus. Flirting with a 9 win season. Winning 6-7 per year. Making it to bowl games, but never in the hunt for a conference championship. Thanks for the memories coach Frost.

Same reason he hasn't been mentioned for any other jobs. Frost Advisory. 16-31

This is the 4th place he's been on Rhule's staff. Rhule has picked him 4 times. They worked together at Western Carolina prior to that. Again, not saying he's the right guy, but he needs a chance with a full deck. Or something closer to one than he had.

At Baylor he was rated #2 in Big 12

Welcome to Huskerboard

Need a splash hire. Probably Gruden or Urban. If next guy brings his buddies instead of the best it’s over.

1. Good stuff. He's already here, so this is ridiculous itself. The context is what he should have done. 2. Thompson made a choice. But much like #1, this has nothing to do with Sims or HH performance. It'd be neat if we could have seen a Thompson with no Palmer play out at Nebraska. I have a hunch it'd be about the same result as HH. Atleast HH could run. 3. Monday morning coaching. He did get pulled. 4. This is Gold. Work Harder. Write a book on this. 5. He was going to have the surgery the week he started his first game. The moved it because HH was hurt and there was almost no chance of putting Sims back in. Being "the best" in the room is damn near pointless when considering the room. They've recruited two elite QBs. Picked up a multiple year starter Olineman, a RB and possibly two WR's (waiting on Banks). Maybe give Satt more than 6 months before you decide how terrible he is?

How about you answer the question before you start asking them? What would you have done? What would you have done to fix HH, the third string QB's throwing motion and ability to read D's in 2 months? What would have done to help Sims overcome one of the worst Turnover problems in modern football history?

A ton

The other thing if we are going to do real world comparisons is Consultants. You can bring in consultants to bridge organizational gaps and/or build capabilities. I think that is what is going here.....but I don't really know. Even if DH becomes the QB coach and not an analyst, he's still significantly below his demonstrated skill level which would almost make him a consultant. Sometimes you end up hiring the consultant. Not very often, but it does happen.
