Every P5 school is investing in facilities nowadays (gotta do something with that TV money since you can't pay the players). Within our division, Iowa just built a great new facility. Minny and NW are in the process of building new football facilities. Link to comment

"Leach had a good relationship with former WSU athletic director Bill Moos, and after Moos left to take the same job at Nebraska on Oct. 15, Leach made a recommendation to Schulz on a possible successor. The job has yet to be filled, and Leach has grown frustrated by the lack of communication about the search process, a source told Bonagura. John Johnson, the interim AD, will not be considered for the permanent job." http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/21625326/mike-leach-washington-state-met-tennessee-discuss-head-coaching-vacancy Which is understandable, but also why Tennessee seems like a horrible fit right now. 2 Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 We have great facilities. Saying they are the best, or anyone else's for that matter, is just subjective to who is grading them. There is nothing any other school has that Nebraska doesn't have some equivalency. 1 Link to comment

OK, so does Nebraska have amazing facilities that any coach would want to have or just the same stuff everyone else has? Link to comment

Because I'm sick of it. If we build it, they will come. Edited December 1, 2017 by Truth in Ruin Link to comment

When people talk "facilities", I think they are referring to all the bells and whistles that attract recruits. Nebraska doesn't lack for any of that stuff. The difference might be that some schools have newer things because they just remodeled or upgraded. It's a never ending arms race. Nebraska has amazing facilities. And it has everything a coach could want or need. Which is the same for lots of schools. It's really a nit-picky argument. Link to comment

Also from that article Frost mentions there are only a few places i'd leave to coach, obviously Nebraska is one of them, I wonder what the others are or if there are others? He's also going to announce Sean Miller as basketball coach at the same time. 1 Link to comment

The difference between the schools listed, is at Tennessee they're tossing random coaches out of the air lock for fun. 1 Link to comment

Nebraska has things like the Athletic Performance Lab that is cutting edge in all of sports. Several NFL teams have come to learn about what we do and copy it. 1 Link to comment
brophog Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 They were so embarrassed that they can't hire people correctly, they've decided they can't fire people correctly. Either way, Tennessee is much watch tv right now. 6 Link to comment

I wonder if part of our pride in our facilities is that we were on the cutting edge when they were first built and other schools copied us? Link to comment

If it's just a slightly shinier version of what everyone else has, I don't think its a huge draw for coaches or recruits. Link to comment
