Players will come if they think its a pipe line to the pros and their parents will push them if they think their kids will get an education. The rest is on the assistants to make the person to person connection and then to develop the players- their fundamentals, their conditioning, their pride and their motivation. The Nebraska players are still out there. There plenty of NU grads and ex-players around the country who can find good talent and pass it on to the coaches.
We can't have revolving door coaches and offensive/defensive systems. I always felt that Solich got fires a year too early and Pelini needed someone to slap him up side the head while he grew up. Didn't happen- so the fans in the blogs yell for a new coach that will surely solve our problems.
Successful coaches are already employed by big name schools. If you want one, you need to hire him away with huge salaries and guarantees. The only other sensible route is to find a very successful winning coach at a second or third tier school looking for his next step. Then buy the great assistant coaches to develop players and do the recruiting. Should be simple to do with tens of millions of dollars.
