The Big Red Machine Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 After examining dozens of possible candidates, my personal preference is Mark Richt. He was born and raised in Omaha, grew up cheering for the Huskers, and still has family living in the state. He is a proven winner and a great recruiter, and he knows the types of athletes it takes to compete against SEC opponents. Fans in Georgia are looking for a change and this would give Richt a fresh start in a place he's familiar with, a place where he is loved and respected. My vote is for Richt! 1 Quote Link to comment

hskrpwr13 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Im with EZ on this one. I feel like he's underperformed at UGA. Quote Link to comment
The Big Red Machine Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 I don't buy that argument. There are no "gimmes" in the SEC. It's extremely difficult to go undefeated in that conference; even Bama has lost games during their championship years. He has won 2 SEC championships and been to 3 BCS bowls. He is a widely-respected coach, high character, and well-liked by pretty much everyone in the college football community. Plus he's a Nebraska son, grew up a fan of the Huskers, and would love to bring the program back to its former glory. What more could you want? Quote Link to comment
TheSker Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Richt's best season as a coach was in 2002. He has 4 or more losses 3 of the last 4 seasons, and has 3 losses currently this season. He also has a losing record in 2010. Quote Link to comment
Ric Flair Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Richt was a great offensive coordinator at Florida State and has been a mediocre head coach given the amount of talent he has access to. In a way his career has followed a similar track to Pelini's and I feel he's better suited to be a coordinator than a head coach. I think he would be an improvement over Pelini, but so would virtually anyone at this point. I think we can do better. Quote Link to comment

He also has a losing record in 2010. and he coaches in the toughest, most competitive conference in college ball... Quote Link to comment

Pelini would get his ass handed to him if we were in the SEC...we would be buzzard bait. Quote Link to comment

It's absolutely one thing if he was losing one game and they were to the Alabama's and LSUs of the world. It's another to lose to Clemson in your opener and to Mizzou and Vanderbuilt.

No thanks. he would be a huge improvement over Pelini! Richt is basically getting the same results as Bo with far superior natural recruiting advantages. The above is just not the case.

Apathy Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Not sure whats worse, Huskers loss against Minnesota or Husker fans thinking we can lure Richt and Saban from the SEC? Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 there isn't enough money in Nebraska to get Saban...besides he is in the SE where recruiting is easy...he has no reason to leave, unless they (Texas) can Mack Daddy and Texas shows him the money...really big money...over 10 mil a year.
