Bohl obviously has much more experience now than he had then. He's an excellent coach, I just worry about recruiting because he's not a "name."

 

I love the thoughts on Frost, but he's too young and inexperienced for the job. He'll also have incredible amounts of pressure on him because he is Nebraska's golden boy. He needs more seasoning before he goes to UNL.

Sometimes it's not just about recruiting but also about evaluating talent & developing players. I think Craig Bohl & his staff from NDSU and Wyoming have shown they have these skills, especially reviewing, evaluating, and developing talent that is in the Midwest.

 

I have said in other threads that maybe...just maybe...we hire Craig Bohl as our head coach, and he brings in Scott Frost as his Offensive Coordinator / Head Coach-in-Waiting

Kirby Smart (DC-Alabama) or Tom Herman (OC/QB-Ohio State) would be on my wish list. I have a slight preference for Smart, but Herman might be the better fit given how dysfunctional we've been on offense and how terrible we've been at developing QBs.

I get so tired of hiring or people who think the OC or DC at a powerhouse like Alabama or wherever should be the next coach somewhere else. Think about it, Pelini was from Nebraska, OU and LSU. He is/was Kirby Smart. How many times does it work out when you hire someone elses OC/DC? It will work for a season or two, but never has long term benefits. I shouldn't say never but its hard. Its easier to recruit to Alabama or Florida St or whom ever if your head coach is Saban, Fischer, or whomever. Think about it. Just becasue your coaching at Alabama doesn't mean you can at Nebraska. Just because he is a good x and o guy at Alabama, it might not translate in recruiting and coaching at another D -1 school.

 

So tired of that mentality. Thats what got Nebraska into this shape. Did Bo do more than Callahan, Yes. Did he recruit better, NO. Was both an upgrade over Frank, I would say yes to a certain point. These guys were coordinators. Callahan was nothing more than an overhyped coordinator along with Bo and actually Frank. Frank knew one thing and that was option, I formation. Lets get someone with there own identity for a change.

Mullen! Mississippi state played so bad last night because he was thinking about his first runza

Already down to 2 coaches. Jim tressel and Bielma

This.

 

But if we want to do things right off the field, the vest isn't that guy.

 

Look to be extremely underwhelmed.

I don't see that happening because Bohl is still a young guy.

[irieboy8]

didn't SE say he wanted someone who has head coaching experience... i think he knows a lot is on the line (for the program) and his own future... the guys isn't going to f#*k around..... i think SF is a cool guy but why take such a risk...... go get someone with experience..... SE sounded like he wasn't afraid to get someone big and open the check book..... expect someone bigger than SF.....

[Something Clever]

Just to throw a name out there, what about Dave Doeren of NC State? Granted he doesn’t have a sterling record there, but they are noticeably better in year 2 of his regime. He did pretty well following Jerry Kill at Northern Illinois and his was the DC of some pretty good Wisconsin defenses. He probably has numerous connections in Illinois, a state we quite frankly need to mine for talent as well. Worth at least a look in my opinion.

For the record Craig Bohl is 56.

 

Bob Devaney was 57 when he turned the keys over to Tom Osborne who was 36 when he became head coach.

Well according to wikipedia......

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Tressel

 

James Patrick Tressel (born December 5, 1952) is the current head football coach of the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

[HuskerPowerVA]

I think Tressel would be a dream hire. One of you guys has already had a little fun on Wikipedia, which this morning stated he was the current Nebraska HC.

56 is still young and Devaney had his eyes on the AD job. I think it's McElwain.

Another candidate that Fox Sports is reporting as a possibility is Air Force's Troy Calhoun. He would certainly bring option football back.

Another sitting head coach who would look like a good style fit is Air Force's Troy Calhoun, who is 48 and riding a very strong season where his team is 9-3 and just beat Colorado State. He's actually a lot more than just a triple-option guy, too, having been an NFL coordinator. He's also taking Air Force to its seventh bowl in eight seasons. That is a very impressive accomplishment.

Pass on Bielma...he and his Iowa tattoo can stay in Arkansas...

Remember the importance of getting the correct hire in a reasonable amount of time is critical to closing out a good recruiting year.
