HuskerNation1 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 It sounds like OC Lubick is looking at an FCS head coaching position. It will be interesting to see if this works out for him. Quote Link to comment
uberism Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I'll never complain about someone going after a head coaching job if the school doing the hiring wants to hire the coach. There are some coaches on the staff that would make me lose sleep if they left, but this isn't the one for the simple reason that Frost runs the offense anyways so you aren't starting from scratch again. Frost could just hire a WR coach and Frost run the offense or give a promotion to one of the current offensive assistants to OC and hire a WR only coach. Beckton or Held could be given the OC title, for example. Quote Link to comment
HuskerNation1 Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 I am actually unsure how much influence Lubick had this past season. It sounds like Frost ran the show until the final few games where Lubick was calling the plays. 1 Quote Link to comment
Toe Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 FCS? I think I'd just stick with being a P5 coordinator and wait for a better opportunity. 3 Quote Link to comment

Lotta factors at play. He was born there, his dad coached there - hell he also took a job with a credit union to slow down life a little. Doesn't seem like the type to be gunning for bigger gigs. 3 Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 By all accounts, even his own, Frost pretty much runs the offense. I do not think the loss would impact us much at all. The receiver room will be pretty much "brand new" next year so not like we are losing the receiver coach who has really worked with/developed the guys.....Unsure who we'd hire to replace him. Personally, I'd like a guy who was the actual OC. Let Frost concentrate on the overall team. Best of luck to him regardless. Has a lot of ties there. Would make sense. Quote Link to comment
B.B. Hemingway Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Wasn't there some rumors that some on the offense didn't like Lubick anyhow? His impact seemed somewhere between minimal, and non-existent, so I wouldn't mind seeing Frost bring in someone else. 3 1 Quote Link to comment
Decked Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 3 different guys teaching the offense in 3 years is not ideal. That means Frost would likely call 100% of the plays again. Although I’m not entirely sure how good Lubick is or isn't because he’s just a yes man or had been until the last few games. 2 Quote Link to comment

Frost was planning to heavily lean on Lubick to influence the offense. Like has been said, we saw that in the last few games and I think we saw an improvement. Lubick knows Frost's offense and knows what he wants to do. I feel like this would be a major impact. However, that would depend more on who he hires to replace him. Quote Link to comment
Hilltop Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Maybe we can use the open spot to hire a full time ST coach so none of the other assistants have to spend time on that. I would think that would be a consideration. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

I have doubts he ends up at that job for one big reason - less pay for more stress (responsibilities). Better off growing as the OC and taking a P5 job if proven success comes. 1 Quote Link to comment
TGHusker Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 This article notes the another candidate is....... wait for it........ biggy candidate........ blow away your expectations...........Mike Riley With competition like that, Lubick can start packing his bags. I wish Frost would hire a big name OC and turn the play calling over to him. However, it would be difficult for him to find someone with the same philosophy and who would come to Neb if he is a 'big name'. Frost needs to manage the whole team. Thinking out loud here: Maybe Frost's ceiling was being a OC at a P5 school or HC at a G6 school. So far it hasn't worked out so great and we sure don't need any more set backs - losing players to portal and coaches who leave to coach elsewhere. Maybe he could be the ST coach - less demanding of his time during the game than being the HC/OC. https://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/football/sources-husker-oc-lubick-a-candidate-for-fcs-head-coaching-job/article_59c8aa03-3f6f-5141-957f-e6f64ea072c0.amp.html 1 Quote Link to comment
Canadian Fan Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 New structure? Frost: HC & QB Coach New Guy: New QB Analyst New Guy: OC & WR Coach New Guy: Dedicated ST Coach So you switch some things around but biggest change is you move from a full-time QB coach to a full-time ST coach.

Ya, P5 coordinators in good standing don't normally go looking for a FCS job. Only way I can see this is if he just wants to live in Montana and be away from the pressure of a major program Quote Link to comment

If someone else voluntarily leaves and he still sticks with an analyst for ST....that would be disappointing. In that second scenario though, where is Verduzco going? He isn't getting canned, that's clear. Quote Link to comment
