That's one further amazing thing about Fitzgerald and Northwestern. That school is at damn near Ivy League status and he can put together teams like he has. That's a mark of great coaching.You've said this quite a bit and haven't gotten much feedback so I thought I'd mention I also share this opinion. Like Ferentz and even more so than Ferentz he's managed to consistently make something out of nothing and get that school to Bowls. Granted they haven't won any but only 6 years in and the guy already has set records at that school for most bowl seasons as a HC. He's a great guy, I'm surprised no one's made a real attempt to swipe him away yet.You forgot Pat Fitzgerald.
He is going to be a GREAT(not good) Head Coach.
On the Urban Meyer note, I hate the idea of him coaching at OSU. It's scary. He's going to put together some really good teams. While I think its good that we have a big name to bring back a powerhouse in our conference I'm fearful that he could dominate and lead to the Big Ten suffering from a "one-team-show" perception that we had going on the last 10 years with OSU. Oh well....we'll see.
I hope Pat stays an NU forever. It would hurt our domination of the school but If I was 18 and had any sort of football talent then I'd seriously consider NU as a top-5 option(Of course I would need to make the grades first)
As far as Urban, the hire should push the other schools to be better.
I know the team up north stepped away for three years and trashed everything they once stood for but I think they got the big picture.
Nebraska fans won't let their team and school become complacent. Awesome stuff.
The other 9 schools have to step up as well. Bielema has already made some comments about Urban higher from what I hear so It sounds like he's ready.
As a side note, I'm not getting the fear of Hoke. I'm not that impressed with him yet... definitely not scared.
Hoke can apparently recruit.
And if you can recruit then you're going to win your share of games no matter who the coach is
unless you're Notre Dame
