Pretty impressive resume. Now it appears his son plays fullback for Utah after redshirting a season with Iowa in 2017. Thus I doubt Ludwig would leave the program without his son. 1 Quote Link to comment

I’d love this hire, but seems like a pipe dream. 3 Quote Link to comment

Has been all over. But as this continues, most of the names that have been thrown out are starting to look like pipe dreams. Quote Link to comment
Toe Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Ludwig makes $900k/year. He's already making a lot more than we were paying Lubick and Walters. There's no chance he comes here, unless you think Alberts is gonna REALLY open up the checkbook for a staff he might have to fire next year. Quote Link to comment
chamrocck Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I’d hope we hear something in the next 48 hours. I think MJ would have had to known the candidates before he agreed to sign on. 2 Quote Link to comment

Frost took a million dollar pay cut to open up the pocket book…. Plus he’s a big10 guy who maybe wants the stability of the big 10 Quote Link to comment

We have buyouts to cover for the 4 we cut, plus a 2 or 3 year deal with new hires. It may be an inside hire like Ron Brown for RBs. He save a bit too. A former Husker elsewhere might save a few bucks - maybe. But I’d let Frost pick up tab for his fires & hires. Quote Link to comment

I’m glad we got MJ. We can better recruit Louisiana and now with OU going defense minded with Venables you can see a lot of WR’s in the region no longer have the lure to high offense Riley was known for. I think we can upgrade in the WR area both with development and winning a higher grade of recruit. Positive momentum next year can pay big dividends for the future but we have to win first.
