If Bo goes, who do you want?

[HuskerShark]

If these rumors are true about Bo leaving for Tennessee, who would you want? Feel free to mention any that I may have missed. I honestly don't know who I would want, but I compiled a list of pretty good candidates.

My top 5 in no particular order would be Petersen, Davis, Gundy, Malzahn, and Strong.

I think I would be leaning toward 1) Petersen and 2) Davis

Both have proved to be good head coaches. My only issue with Davis is his messy history at UNC with recruiting. I don't know specifics behind any of that, but it is a blemish on his resume. Obviously, Petersen would be a good hire. He knows how to win big games and be flexible in his schemes so that it fits the personnel on his team.

What say you?

I went with Franklin...I think he has done a great job at Vandy coaching and recruiting. give him our resources and he could do wonders.

 

[Landlord]

Whoever would come here and get the job done.

Which is a very, very short list.

A great recruiter..... no wait...... great at finding talent as well.

1. Chris Petersen

2. Gus Malzahn

Peterson or Tressel- what sanctions does he bring? Maybe add another assistant like Frost to the mix...since we have become a place to cut your head coaching teeth.

 

[HuskerfaninOkieland]

Seriously, Tressel, Malzahn, Davis and Petrino should all be scratched from that list. All four of them landed their respective universities in some hot water.

John Gruden, he is a winner and gets the best out of all his players.

John Gruden, he is a winner and gets the best out of all his players.

And he has zero desire to coach college football.

Monte Kiffin

I think he headed back to NFL. Not sure he would make a good HC.

I chose Petersen. Don't think he would come here though.

Sorry I wasn't being totally serious, I really can't think of anybody I would want that would actually come here.

 

[Hedley Lamarr]

None of the above...go ask harbaugh who we should hire.

if this does happen, and i personally dont want it to, i would think that you would have to look at the new a.d. and who

has he worked with. the name that comes up for me is paul chryst the pitt head coach. i believe they have worked

together at wisconsin and he would definitely know the big 10. former oc and oline coach.
