HC -Jim Tressel - He's probably a bit rusty at cheating but we can give him time he'll come back. BB - Rick Patino assuming he beats the jail rap PR -Bring Scaramucci out of retirement We would make Bo blush Why no Petrino? Quote Link to comment

And sure bo is at a lower level but he is still winning. I don’t think he is great, but he has a decent career record. I have no idea why D1 schools have not snatched him up...maybe they have contacted him and he said he isn’t interested. anyone ever consider that Bo just wanted to go back home coach there and make Perlman pay him millions to do that? I'd say that's the ultimate FU to Perlman and Eickhorst 3 Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I'd take a coach with a successful system that he knows forwards and backwards. One said coach can recruit kids for that is flexible enough to use the talent on hand. One that also embraces the culture of Nebraska. You look around the landscape of college football say the past 20 years and you see programs that through coaching and recruitment have become powerhouses/competitors for the conference. They've embraced an identity, recruited to it and developed players to it. We have missed this since Solich was fired IMO. (I know recruiting and other issues, but established system/culture). We just need to find the guy that can do this. Look at their track record, prior stops, pedigree, coaching tree etc...Prior to Riley being hired, this board named several great candidates that fit the bill. SE didn't even swing on this hire, he just missed... 3 Quote Link to comment
grandpasknee Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 No, we'll hire a broom stick that is bipolar and alternates between being a nice guy and a vile, hate spewing maniac. It will please everyone and no one at the same time. 1 Quote Link to comment

southernoregonhusker Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Gary Andersen just walked away from Oregon State. He runs the spread some fans on this board love. Of course, he was 7-23 at OSU. Riley had a winning record at OSU. Quote Link to comment

Why didn't any FBS school snatch up the defensive genius that is Bo Pelini if he's THAT great? Do you think Callahan could be a successful FBS coach? I don't. I think the reason no FBS team has taken Pelini is that he wants to be a HC, not a DC. And there are two primary roles that an FBS HC plays - 1 - putting a winning football team on the field 2 - being a positive ambassador for the school. Pelini is decent enough at #1 to be a HC at a lesser FBS school, but he is godawful at #2. 2 Quote Link to comment

Agreed - I think it is telling that of the past 3 coaches fired by Nebraska none have landed on their feet at another Power 5 as a head coach (or in the NFL as a head coach). I think people of the camp that "we've fired too soon" need to realize this. Quote Link to comment
