If these numbers are correct Kiffin ain't happening.

 

That's fine, there are other good coaches who I'd be equally or more excited for.

That's literally what we are paying Frost right now.  We surely wouldn't lower the offer.  Give him $8 million a year.  Get serious about football, or don't UNL.

I'm usually the "pony the f#ck up if you want to win and stop pinching pennies" guy but even to me $8M a year seems rich for my blood. Guess we'll see.

Are you paying that salary? What does it matter if it's not your $ going to that coach.

I mean, me personally? No. But they're a state employee so technically anybody that pays state taxes in Nebraska helps pay their salary.

Yes the coach is "technically" a state employee, but the head coach of Nebraska is paid completely by Athletic Department dollars, which receives zero tax payer funds.

We can’t offer anything that Ole Miss or LSU couldn’t match. This i what I mean when I say these guys like Kiffin and Meyer and Fickell can pick and choose. We don’t have anything to offer that they can’t find someplace else, in a place with much easier recruiting.

Except not being in the same division as Alabama…

My only point was that I think what it would take to lure him out of $EC country would be too much. Then we'd be suffer the same Messiah complex we did with Frost because we'd be paying the head guy almost $10M...

So NU should underpay the coach to avoid that coach getting a big head?  That's a new one.

How many people five or six years ago would have had him on your short list?

The BIG West is the easiest division to navigate to get to the CFP.  That cannot be said for the SEC West or East or the BIG East.  A smart coach would consider the opportunities of being a BIG West coach.

Damn good coach. College Football has changed. Nebraska has been a unicorn giving Frost the patience we have thus far.

[krc1995]

Is there just a solid football coach out there? Why do we have to have a 7-10 million dollar man to win 6 games?  We can’t hardly get 1/2 way there for 5. Let’s try cheaper 

 

I’ll take Billy Napier, which is against my “must have B10” experience” mantra. 

 

Is Tex Lasso a free agent yet?
