Serious List of New Head Coach

I think that Mike Leach thread got moved into this one? But I just saw a headline today on ESPN that shows Leach throwing out open try out invitation for kickers because MSU missed 3 FG's yesterday. This isn't the first time Leach has held open tryouts for his kickers, I think while he was at TTU they had kicking problems and he held try outs mid season and got some random student to start kicking kicks.

I appreciate moves like this. I mean c'mon, we have two awful kickers and they continually make the same mistakes over and over and are unreliable even for simple PAT's. Go do something about it. Either get strict about their practicing or go find a student who is willing to put in the time and effort to master their one skill. I know if I was a student at Nebraska and as a life long Cornhusker, as I am sure there are many students who are, I would gladly walk on and at least try to provide my services to the team, just to be on the team. If that meant kicking field goals for 4 hours a day every day, sure I'll do it to wear the N. 

 
talked to a VERY reliable source, big corporate backer, that the administration met this last week with the following::

#1 retain Frost for at least one year

#2 20 million dollar buy out is a major concern and currently not acceptable

#3 will require some coaching staff changes (no specifics), for retention

If #2 is true.  #3 is not.  Any coaching changes would be at Frost's discretion.

If Frost really believes the staff is "that close" I hope he keeps them and proves everyone wrong.

Frost is more in the loop than you are.  If you know that the powers won't buy him out, so does he.  Any coaching changes will be thinking about his career for next year and beyond.

Yep.  Frost says no changes.  Pay me.  Then what?  

Easiest Fix with staff-all in house

Brown to RB coach -If he even wants it

Bill Busch-ST/Safeties

Verduzco/Held/Austin-Gone

Frost move to HC/QB

Lubick-OC/WR

No idea on OL coach.  Ed Warinner from Florida Atlantic?

IMHO, the whole offensive staff needs to go and we need a new OC....Frost just be a CEO.

* Worries me with the "Retain Scott Frost for at least one year."....

 
The more I think about it, the more I believe it is more likely that Chinander leaves and Austin stays if Frost is given another year.

I can see Chin wanting to "cash in" and avoid a possibly sinking ship.  And I see a very proud Frost sticking to his "we are this close" narrative.

If Chin leaves for a DC position somewhere else, buckle up for a frustrating 2022!

I don't think Chindander leaves, he is a friend of Frost and is only a DC because Frost gave it to him. 

If verdu or Austin are back next year then Frost isn't making it a 6th year. You'd think he would realize that and move on from them, but at the same time he has remained loyal to Martinez and he is a QB that very well could be costing Frost his job.

If Frost trots the same staff out next year we won't go bowling

I just think it is funny that we never had a long lists of excuses for coaches who won more games than Frost. All of them since the 50s. But building a program is unique and special tough for Frost but not others.

Yep we will go 5-7....a 2 game improvement on this year! The retooled staff just needs another year!

I don't even know where to start.  I sound like a clanging gone, but when viewed solely form his time at NU, he stands to go down as one of the worst coaches in FBS history.  And there is nothing to show (other than it hasn't happened) that after 4 losing years you can start to win.........Schiano and Cutcliffe did, but that's it.  Cutcliffe had a couple decent years and nada.....For full disclosure I am unsure if the changed staffs, or if all the other coaches in the 4 year category did not.....
