The "Name your new head coach" thread megamerge

For the people wanting Scott Frost, he is no longer calling plays for Oregon. Scott is in the same shoes as JP, glorified puppet.

Link? Because I've read several that say otherwise. Helfrich has stated Frost calls the plays...

No link...Just a friend that lives up there and is a ticket holder. He said the Scott got it taken away a couple games ago.

When they were averaging 600+ yards a game and getting 50+ points? I find that hard to believe, I've watched Oregon and haven't seen their head coach with a playbook like Chip Kelly had so I doubt he's calling the plays.

When Chip Kelly gets fired at the end of the year, we'll hire him and pay him 9 million dollars...

Apparently you weren't watching last night then.

I hate that this is what we get to talk about midseason instead of excitement about the team's prospects for the rest of the season.

The UCLA loss sucked, but this Minnesota loss just took all the wind out of our sails.

"Inside info." Unless he is on the coaching staff this is just a rumor.

I agree that is stinks. Something has indeed change as the traditional Bo defenders are no longer defending him. We've had many of these types of losses before in games we should have won, so I'm not sure why this game has caused the Bo defenders to go in hiding.

 

[presidentjlh]

I think it's because Bo has been given so many chances, and this wasn't just an upset, we got straight up beat.

Right..there is always a game that breaks the camels back...meaning the fans say enough is enough. I thought that game might have been UCLA or perhaps one of the blowouts from last year, but it appears that this weekend's Gopher game may have been "it."

For those saying Scott Frost is too inexperienced, so was Kliff at Texas Tech and Pat Fitzgerald from Northwestern.

Here is Fitz's resume before he became their head coach:

1998 - Maryland (LB)

1999 - Colorado (LB)

2000 - Idaho (LB)

2001–2005 - Northwestern (LB)

2006–present - Northwestern (HC)

Here's Kliff's:

2008–2009 - Houston (assistant)

2010–2011 - Houston (co-OC/QB)

2012 - Texas A&M (OC/QB)

2013–present - Texas Tech (HC)

I don't think it's as big of a deal as you all are making it. Ultimately, we want someone with all the right qualities to be a successful HC here. I think Frost has those. He knows the program, can recruit, is loved by his players, shows passion and yet control.

If read another Nick Saban comment I'll puke. Jeebus guys. Be reasonable. This place would be too much a threat to his legacy. Not to mention, we b!^@h about Bo's demeanor, we would fry Saban his first loss. We as a fanbase cant handle Nick Saban. Plain and simple. Move on.

It would either be a proven coordinator at a major school like Bo was, or the next Tressel/Meyer/Saban/Kelly-hopeful up-and-comer from a non-bcs program. I'd prefer this one. Someone's who's already made their hey, made their mistakes as a HEAD COACH. Enough with the learning-on-the-job experiments. It doesnt work that way on pride and such anymore. Show the money, get who we need. But it has to be reasonable.

Time to puke. Seriously though, what makes you think he wouldn't leave? He left MSU, and left LSU after winning a MNC. As far as nice places to live, Lincoln is an improvement over Tuscaloosa. I think he think about a fat raise.

This can't be a serious post, I mean literally what the f#*k?

I'm not sure that Golden would really be an upgrade. He did a great job at Temple, but living in ACC country, I've not been overly impressed with what he has done at Miami. Yes, I know he has Miami undefeated and ranked in the top 10. But his first couple of seasons were filled with flat and uninspired play. This season they returned virtually EVERYONE (close to 20 starters). Despite all the experience and talent they have struggled beating a probation plagued 1-4 UNC and came within a hair of losing at home to Wake Forest. Minnesota is better than Wake. Miami is about to get exposed Saturday. My expectation is that Miami will slide back into the 7-5/8-4 range after this season.

+1

I hope its not, but sadly, I think hes dead serious...

As I stated in another thread:

You just compared a coaching search at NU to that of NW and Texas Tech. Huge differences are the resources at NU and the fact that the expectations at NU aren't even in the same ball park as either of those schools. Fitz is 0-3??? In league and nobody is calling for his head.

It is 100% certain that Nick Saban would never, ever come to Nebraska, and frankly, I'm okay with that, I don't think he fits well with Nebraska. He'd win, yes, but I just don't think it would be a good fit still.
