I'm not sure he can get a better job than being the OC at a big name program, in a big name conference, under a coach who runs the same offense he specializes in. 1 Link to comment

Where he probably won't call the plays. People have egos, it's a part of all of us. That's a pretty big hit to the ego. 1 Link to comment
GA Husker Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 A couple or three comments. First that coaching list has 11 assistants, you only can hire 9 this year. The 10th assistant can't be hired until 9 Jan 2018. Some of his assistants are UCF alums or have been there for many years and are unlikely to leave. 1 Link to comment
BartonHusker Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Would love Gilmore at WR but I doubt he would leave Wisconsin where he has it very good now. I believe he also just got another raise this past season and added the Pass Game Coordinator title. Link to comment

Will he take a dumpster fire of a team and make winners? Maybe. But, he's not a fit here. Sorry. I guess i am one of the crazy ones. Chip averaged 47 points per game as the head coach at Oregon. That is elite offense. Scott Frost is averaging 48 points per game this season (48.5555555555555) Link to comment

The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I just hope we land Frost, because I don't see us accomplishing much with Matt Campbell (if he's our backup plan). Can someone explain to me what's so great about him? Link to comment

Completely different level of teams. I am not saying his offense isn't good. I'm saying you're comparing apples to oranges a little bit. 1 Link to comment

It sounds like he was a good coach at his last destination, but it's really hard to tell at this point. Too much of a gamble for me personally to go after him, Nebraska can't afford a gamble, this HAS to be a for sure bet or we just better hope we get lucky. 2 Link to comment

That's a pretty big hit to the ego. To be fair, Helfrich never called plays at Oregon. When Helfrich was the OC, Chip Kelly's called the plays. When Helfrich was promoted to head coach, he picked Frost as OC and let Frost call the plays. Link to comment

Just listing what they are getting done based on their competition. 47 points per game against P5 is a heck of a lot more impressive than 48.6 against G5 competition. Link to comment

There are no sure bets, just gambles worth the risk. 1 Link to comment
