How bad do you want Tressel

[BigRedPowerWagon]

What would you be willing to do if we got tressel/frost. I know its a stretch but since weve got nothing else to do ill throw it out there. Im not a tattoo guy, never was a huge fan of them. No offence to anyone else i just never had a good enough reason to get one. If we get Tressel/Frost ill get a Nebraska Tattoo.

Tattoo? Well, if Tressel's buying...

[The Dude]

He's #2 on my A-list behind Ribbit.

[Hunter94]

getting Tressel is very likely.......getting Frost as OC is very unlikely, IMO.

[BigRedPowerWagon]

Exactly, i can get a discount.

[Blackshirts007]

I would offer myself as a sacrifice.

In my mind it's Tressel or bust. Eichorst doesn't talk game like he did without an ace in his sleeve. I've seen enough to put me off of Mullen, and Patterson sounds like a no-go. Anyone else would be a reset button gamble at best.

 

Assemble the dream team with Tressel/Frost! The goal was plainly set out folks, contending for Banners is the expectation & we need some #BANNERMEN to lead us there.

[BigRedPowerWagon]

We need the Trost Connection.

JT is my first choice, since last year's "fire me" dare. Dude knows what it takes to win in this conference and has many good years ahead of him. If it is him, hope he lines up some awesome assistant coaches. If it is not JT, then I will have momentary let down for about two minutes.

I *think* he would be a nice hire. Truth is, if it wasn't for HB, he wouldn't have crossed my mind.

This thread need to be created? I fear what angryhusker is going to post...

Shawn stated during his press conference that Bo was fired due to his record against championship caliber opponents and no championships.

 

Now you don't fire a coach with a winning record without having a plan, a coach that will make an immediate impact and qualifications to get us to the promise land.

 

What current coach has an overall winning record? What coach has a .500+ record against ranked teams? What coach has won championships? All of these accomplishments is what Shawn is looking at so what coaches fit this bill? I would say Saben, Miles, Bob Stoops, Gary Patterson, Urban Meyer, Bret Bielma(sp?), Dantonio, Jimbo Fisher, etc you get the point. Now which of those coaches are willing to leave their job for the Nebraska job? Maybe Gary but I doubt that.

 

I can only think of two coaches not coaching that meets all of those expectations: Jim Tressel and Mack Brown. There is no way we would hire Mack Brown but Jim Tressel I could see that happening. He's familiar with the B1G and his sanction is almost up.

 

We screwed the pooch with Callahan who we had to settle with. We fired him and got Bo for under a million and in the end that didn't work out either. With two previous failed coaching gigs, I believe that the boosters and administration at this point are willing to unleash everything they have to hire the best and to pay for the best which makes me believe that Tressel is our guy and has been for weeks.

Holy shinola that dog looks identical to mine spotting and all.

[Hayseed]

Absolutely don't want Tressel.

This was my reasoning as well, time will tell...
