I AM opposed to Mullen. I think hes like buying a stock High and selling Low. I dont see upside we would give him at NU that he cant get where he is. Benifit of McElwain and Fuente and maybe even Wells, is that if they can do 'something' at a mid major with limited facilities, money, recruit desirability etc. Imagine what they could do here with all that NU offers. I don't see that same benifit for Mullen...hes in THE power conference with recruits all around him. Maybe not quite the facilities...but they are not playing in a shack either.

what's harder in your first HC job...

go to a mid-major winning a good number of games.

or

going to the doormate of the SEC west and build a program to compete with Alabama, LSU and Alburn

best seasons, all of which are this year...

Wells 9-4 AAC

Fuente 9-3 MWC

McElwain 10-2 MWC

Mullen 10-2 SEC

all have a measure of risk

I would just give the nod to the guy that did it in a major conference, was an assistant on Championship teams w major bowl wins, and has been an OC/QB with elite level college quarterbacks.

also a lot of the same reasons McElwain was my #2 choice.

Bielema could get the job done but I would wonder how long he would stay. He was coaching a pretty great team already and bolted.

So Bielema totally ditching Wisconsin for Arkansas, THEN ditching Arkansas for Nebraska throws absolutely zero red flags for you guys?

I doubt that even comes close, I have a feeling that Eichorst has a decent enough relationship with Alvarez to do that. Bielema did not ditch on the best of terms with Alvarez.... I doubt he would ditch on the best terms here too after the year or two he is here...

x1 thought the same thing.

but also wonder how many times Alvarez throw his 2 cents in. which he seems to love to do. had to play a factor. two big ego's butting heads.

 
i am wondering if mark stoops from kentucky might be on top of the list.....he recruits well, and has been in the big 10 as assisstant at iowa....also, he has doubled kentuckys wins since being there......

Puke! I don't want 'Curly' Brett Bielema! Go with Shaw, McElwain or Frost

Why do people keep thinking Shaw is an option? He is at his Alma matter and loves it there.
 
Not only is he at his alma mater, but what is so great about David Shaw? Nebraska should aim a bit higher IMO.

After his fourth season at Stanford, he goes 7-5. The four year mark is usually a good indication of what a coach can bring to the table. And from what I've seen, his recruiting is not overly impressive either.

I wouldn't settle for Shaw if I were you.

Bovada 5/4 scott frost. That says it all. Better just start thinking about DC

Interesting. I don't know how vegas/betting sites work, but can I assume that 5/4 means Vegas is very confident that Frost is our guy?

As for Shaw, I think this is a great hire if it happens. I assume that its easier to recruit to Nebraska vs Stanford, so that would be in his favor here. I'm aware he's a Stanford alum, but I feel like I can see him wanting to go somewhere with an easier route into the playoff and slightly easier recruiting? Just my thoughts.

I'm not sure how it would be easier to recruit NE over Stanford, unless they have higher admission standards.
