I can see it now, Chip Kelly continues his slide with Philly and just like a Spurrier Petrino and Saban he bails on the NFL and returns to the College Scene. It'd be fun seeing a style like his in our conference, just imagine a B1G game where 21 points are scored in the first five minutes...

I have seen it. I think it was 28 in the first 5min. though.

"Pelini is an embarrassment to this University because he yells at his players and talks bad about the fanbase behind closed doors! Lets fire him and hire a guy who cheated on his wife with a female employee, crashed his motorcycle with her on the back and got fired or we could hire another guy that got fired for knowingly breaking NCAA rules and bringing sanctions to his old school!" -Nebraska fan

 

Actually you fire Pelini because he gets beats in Lincoln by garbage teams all the time as well as looking a fool against non ranked teams in CCGs and then goes to the wire with a team that gets smoked by Texas St and their frosh QB, not sure what coach you think was fired for breaking NCAA rules but it certainly wasn't Tressel, he resigned. But please elaborate

 

Oh sorry, he quit before he got fired. My bad

We need a new strength and conditioning program as much as anything, so go after the best here

 

Jim Tressel as HC, regardless of their past we need someone that would make the move to Lincoln and proven, someone can teach him how to e-mail

 

Scott Frost as OC only because he would keep the group that need some emotional tie to Osborne happy and he's coached at an elite (consistant top 5) level of play, seems to understand what it takes in 2013, if not him Bobby Petrino or get Shawn Watson back

 

DC let Tressel decide, because the Huskers are so irrelevant these days you're not going to get a lateral move from someone decent, they have to completely start from scratch, To keep the Solich/Pelini fans happy bring in Marvin Sanders, no one on my list would come to Nebraska with out HC possibilities like Bud Foster

 

Regardless we need recruiters and no more buddy hires, if you want to try out Peters as a motivational supervisor or Asst. DC for the defensive line, it's worth a try

We would need a big hire like this to get the recruits that we need. Not sure of Scott would make a lateral move - what's in it for him unless he was named 'coached in waiting" assistance HC.

Thats why I say Tressel, to groom Frost but Tressel would also bring another year of sanction which can't be much worse than dealing with another year of Pelini, that way all the Osborne worshippers would treat Tressel with respect and we might just get a real HC in here for the first time in a long time. Not sure Frost would come back to a place where the fans treated him like garbage though. Its not a lateral move what so ever, Oregon surpassed the Huskers a long, long time ago. Thats why we need Tressel, we wont get a Saban

 

USC the past couple of years has really started feeling the effects of their scholarship sanctions. Hiring a coach that would bring them automatically would hurt this program for a number of years. Not just one.

Tressel wouldn't bring scholarship sanctions, he's under a show-cause penalty which could be dismissed if the NCAA receives the right ass kissing

Like I said, we could hire a guy like that and sell our souls to win, but then you may as well take the "In the Deed, the Glory," off of those stadium walls.

I agree with that. We did try a guy outside of our usual comfort zone (Billy Callahan) and that obviously didn't work out that well. All I'm saying is that I wouldn't be surprised if we pursued avenues like Petrino, and personally, I don't think it tarnishes Nebraska if they went with a guy like Petrino. "The process" certainly worked for Nebraska in the past and we hear Pelini preach it all the time now. But, if the process doesn't produce results, we get into a position we're in now of how much time do we devote to a coach to right the ship?

 

Again, this is mostly just me speaking out of sheer curiosity if Nebraska would pursue a guy like Petrino. If Pelini doesn't work out, or works out and retires, Eichorst seems like the type of AD that would be able to pull in a great hire that's outside of "the process" mold. Lots of hypotheticals but this whole thread is based on it anyways lol.

 

I want this program to represent everything that is still good about college football. They can cheat all they want to down south but I hope that we remain above that. Stanford is a perfect model for what I want our program to be like.

 

If Petrino could do it, so be it. I'm not above giving second chances for things that have happened in the past.

So you actually think it was his choice to resign?

I can't for the life of me remember the last garbage team we were beaten by in Lincoln. Iowa State in 09 maybe??

 

With the Wyoming comment, it was week one. I'm sure every single team in the nation is ready to play for a national championship week one with 13 guys making their college debut.

 

Saying Wisconsin was unranked, while true is ignoring an awful lot of things. It was not as if Wisconsin was a bad team.

 

Tressel wouldn't have resigned unless he knew he'd be fired if he didn't.

I will say this, too. Eichorst has no real ties to Nebraska's traditions. If he had been here in 2008 to replace SP and find us a coach, I doubt he would have hired Pelini. Moving forward, if he's still our AD and Pelini either leaves or retires, I think Eichorst is going to go for a big hire. And that hire may not focus on things like the walk-on program. I think there's a balance to be found between our past and our future. Callahan did a lot of disregarding the past, but there's no denying the talent he brought in here, when coached effectively, did very well in many facets.

He resigned didn't he. Quite frankly I don't see anything wrong at all with what Tressel did, I went through all the gangsta crap of the 90s here and a couple tattoo's seem rather innocent compared to that. For those worried Treesel brings sanctions in reality he brings this .....he was given a five-year show-cause penalty (until December 19, 2016). If he gets another head coaching job before then, he will have to sit out the first five games of the first regular season of his return, as well as any postseason games (including conference championship games and bowl games

Iowa State, Texas, Northwestern and yeah Wisconsin was a darn good 7-5 team. I'm sure Wyoming was full of fear their first game too, I guess they waited to show how relaxed they were against Texas St

Im with you on this. I just find it funny that since that tape came out...actually since TA&M in 2010, Ive seen so many times on this board about how Pelini is an embarrassment to this University, but then we'd be okay with hiring one of the sleaziest coaches in the business. Id say Petrino, after how he left Atlanta, was in the same category as Lane Kiffin. And then the whole thing happened at Arkansas.

 

If you want to fire Pelini because of the blowout loses, that's fine. But if you want to fire him because of the way he acts on the sidelines and then say we should hire Petrino or Tressel, that's absurd.

Forgot about Texas. However, you did state "all the time." I am really not buying that 3 times in 6 years is in fact "all the time."

 

Again, if you don't think Wisconsin was better than their record showed, then we can agree to disagree.

 

Okay, we played and beat Wyoming. That happened. We beat them. Last I checked the result didn't change did it? I don't remember anyone still screaming about Fresno State in 2011 the week that conference play started. So get over it.

If I'm understanding you correctly you're calling me a liar and a troll. that's fine, I don't have my head shoved up my ass and think Pelini is a real coach with his clown posse staff and blowout losses every year he's coached here including 2003. He will be gone just because he can't resist being terrible at recruiting/ determining talent/hiring a real staff/ stopping the run/ acting a fool on the sideline/ game planning/ preparing our players for un ranked teams all at the same time he tell's you the fan to go "F" yourself. He's a top class buffoon

[Ratt Mhule]

Being forced to resign is the PC way of saying you're fired. But you can think of it anyway you want.

 

And to the bolded part, you may think he didn't do anything wrong, but he broke the rules and lied about it. And because of it, it cost OSU a possible MNC last year.
