  1. I love how many fans are flavor of the week when it comes to coaching. It's truly astonishing to see. Right when Frost was fired....Aranda, Campbell, Leipold - these would be great hires! Now those coaches suck! After the Rutgers game. Mickey Joseph is our guy! Now no way we can offer him the HC job! We now need Klieman cause they just dismantled Okie St! etc. etc.
  2. Don't overlook PJ Fleck in all of this....
  3. Stadium, fans, tradition, facilities for starters. Ames also has a small block of college bars on Welch Ave and that's it. Lincoln has way more stuff going on than Ames. Iowa St 9/10 will lose out to Iowa on in-state recruits as well based mainly on the things I said prior. Nebraska though small doesn't share with any other FBS football teams...heck even UNI will get a few overlooked kids now and then. Lincoln is almost 5x larger than Ames.
  4. I never said Campbell is my first choice either but clearly no one here has been to Ames, IA....good luck winning football games there. He has done a great job IMO
  5. In 125 years of football at Iowa St Campbell has 3/5 most winnings season there...in 6 years of being there.
  6. When Nebraska has been good...Run the ball. Play defense
  7. 2023 @ Colorado ....is this game for sure Sep 9th next year? I see a few conflicting schedules out there. 

    1. Mavric

      Mavric

      That's what it says on Huskers.com, so I would think that's still the story.

       

      Colorado has them playing TCU on the 2nd, us on the 9th and Colorado State on the 16th.  

  8. There would be a big overhaul of coaches and players - just the way the game is today. Thompson, Grant, Palmer, Vokolek will all be gone...defense basically returns everyone but the talent isn't there for most of them.
  9. Purdue threw 54x and we got 0 sacks
  10. I always felt if we didn't get Meyer just stick with Mickey...he would do the gig for half the price which gives him full go on getting the best assistants in the conference. Kids like him a lot & he can recruit. Quit pu&&yfooting and paying half a$$ assistants. Go pay a DC $2m/year. Get the best OL/DL coach. Mick and the rest can get the athletes. Wins will come.
  11. If we had a competent DC we would be 5-1 with this schedule regardless if Frost was HC or not.... Mickey is a no BS coach that is a good recruiter. I think he can work with good coordinators.
  12. Lance Leipold is a Wiscosnin native and did well at the DII level there...
  13. I agree here...I think if you get Urban we could take off. Even if Mickey I think if he hired great assistants we could recruit well enough --development idk. I also think adding teams to the West of us only helps Nebraska IMO.
  14. Nebraska has the FEWEST 4 & 5 star recruits in their 500 mile radius. Dead last in the P5. 65/65 So to me you really believe we can get a big name recruiter and get kids over the country with NIL, portal, etc. OR You dumb down the offense. Get a few great players with a coach who develops players. Run the ball. Play gritty defense.
  15. Chins was an obvious fire...I'd be surprised if Mickey fires anyone else.
  16. Is there a reason that Singleton hasn't seen the field? K Williams? Bretz?
  17. I just think that JoJo was good enough but Gifford and Kolaravic have been underwhelming so I'd rather have a shot at making the QB uncomfortable. We also have the 2 worst tackling safeties I've seen at Nebraska. Farmer has been bad for so long and we still play him for some reason. Buford has had 1 good tackle all year but go watch the film, he avoids contact and takes bad angles. He is like 5'9 (should be a CB imo).
  18. I posted this BEFORE the season... The 2 DL and 2 LB personnel will not work this year for this team. We have to run a 3-4. We also have to get safeties who aren't scared to tackle and make plays. Whoever runs the D can only do so much for the rest of the year but minor tweaks would help a lot imo. This would also help our 'edge' players as well with another DL. For example below. We would add another DL for a DB. Wynn, Nash, Drew Nelson, Reimer, Henrich, Mathis Newsome Hill Sanford Buford
  19. Fire Chinander today and regroup the team with a bye week...your next 2 games are the most winnable left on the schedule.
  20. GAS Highlights 2:42 - Buford some sort of hey I don't want to tackle 5:09 - Farmer and where the hell is he going? Not even looking at the play 5:40 - Farmer and the worst angle and tackle attempt on the year 7:12 - Farmer one handed swipe attempt 9:39 - Farmer shoulder tackle This isn't to say that others are doing well, but why continue to play Farmer?
  21. What changes the rest of the year if Chins isn't fired? Our offense already looks pretty good.
  22. The pressure now is on Trev's lap and I think he knows if he could hire Urban Meyer type coach that even if it fails he is safe. Get someone where we more so hope will work and it doesn't then Trev is on the line.
  23. This is his 10th season at Kentucky. I wouldn't say "short time" (61-53) record.
  24. I hope we give Mickey a legit chance at the job. He seems like a new age coach with the transfer portal and NIL that could succeed. All he would have to do is surround himself with a good staff (something Frost didn't do). His brother coaches in the NFL so combine that with the checks we can write we could find a real good DC and either keep Whipple or find another good OC. Players also really like him and the coaches in Omaha said their kids would def play for him unlike past coaching assistants. Sometimes a chance is all someone needs. Mel Tucker coached 1 year at Colorado and went 5-7 and still got the Michigan St job. Maybe he had a fluke year last year but he showed me it can be done with the things I listed above.
