Other than that, yes. "Not always" He did lose to OSU in the Rose Bowl in 2009 17–26 but did beat Purdue that year 38–36. In 2012 he beat Wisconsin 45–38 in the Rose Bowl. That would be a step in the right direction for Nebraska. Quote Link to comment

Edit: the post about Kelly playing a Big10 team in the playoffs was wrong. Edited November 9, 2017 by jaws Quote Link to comment

Hilltop Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I believe there are a dozen or so coaches out there that could, if given enough time, produce the results our fan base is begging for. I believe Chip is on that list but...I'm afraid the list of coaches we are willing to give the time to is extremely short. I'm not sure anyone not named Frost would be given enough time. Maybe Chip's past record would buy him enough patience? Quote Link to comment

Osborne didn't have much of a personality, so if we are looking for someone in that mold it might be tough. Just get a good coach. Stop putting these parameters on how they should do it with the obvious exception of doing it within the rules. So many people want the next coach to win at a high level but only if they "fit" the Nebraska culture/mold that isn't even all that identifiable. What exactly is the mold that Nebraska coaches need to fit that differs from what every other college coaching job requires? Ok. Not my post, but must respond. The mold that we have created is one that we have fired 2 coaches with real good winning percentages. We use an excuse that sounds like were entitled to winning championships, with out earning them. We think that everything here is the head coaches fault for not winning. We think that each year we are recruiting National Title talent, and our coaches just suck. Riley does suck. He might be worse than Callahan. We fired Solich and Pelini who each had 9 win seasons the year they were fired. Wow, you read that, and it sounds so pathetic each time. We never upgraded each time we fired a 9 win coach, because no one wanted to fit in that mold. Here we are now 14 years since Solich. Looking pathetically worse than at almost anytime in our current history. So I think when people want someone who will fit the Nebraska mold so to speak, that person has to embrace our past along with knowing what to do to make the future bright. So, of those current and possible guys on the market or near the market, who is that going to be? Chip Kelly-No. Kevin Sumlin-No. on and on..............Great coaches who want great jobs go and get them. Its not college going and getting coaches. Interest has to be there first from the coach. If that interest is not there, your wasting time. Find that coach who wants this job, and things might get better. Quit hiring the 4th and 5th choice. Find Mr. Right, that is looking at this job as a landing point, not a starting point. Quote Link to comment

Maybe Chip's past record would buy him enough patience? well then, if we give Frost 5-6 years to get consistent, then why not? and i agree, he is probably the only one of a select few to get that much time. anyone else we would approach would have to know, 3-4 years of continuous improvement and better play would be the minimum expected....if showing progress and building to better play is the goal, why should any good coach be afraid to come here?......many of these guys like a little security, few are truly dedicated to the pursuit of excellence....it's hard work and it takes mental toughness. even Riley would be safe for a few more years, if he just showed some intelligent game management and coaching skills.

Caused turnovers, not something we've been doing. Rushed for 240 yards on 38 attempts. That doesn't sound like a Riley team. Are you maybe talking about the TE's catching the ball? Well that's because of THIS guy...someone who should be a Husker but isn't because of Riley and Co. slow played him if IRC... Noah Fant - Sophomore Season 23 353 15.3 45 7 Watch the game and judge for yourself. It's on youtube and compressed into under an hour with just the plays, which is a great way to watch. I also said an MR offensive game plan. Iowa was very balanced in run pass attempts, but 5 TD's came via pass compared to 1 TD via run. Fant accounted for 4 out of 21 receptions. He looks like a fine player, but I don't think he'd have made a difference in our win loss total this year had he come to N. What would is a breakaway receiver who can take the top off a defense. A healthy Tre Bryant to go with our other backs would, and a healthy O-line would just help in general all around. Quote Link to comment
jessica0 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Things have gotten to the point where UF is doing a background check on Chip Kelly. Normally that means a mutual agreement is in place and they have zeroed in on a specific target. Actual credentialed media sources are now starting the talk. Quote Link to comment
