NOT !

It will remain a short list of those before 1900, two each during the great wars, and the final one stuck in the middle of the "Dark Ages" of Husker football. (Ironically, he had been an assistant at Oregon State)

The current coach from Oregon State isn't going to join that list.

 
BTW, check the list of one year wonders at Yale. They got NU in spades in the short term coach department.

 
Shocking Answer: NEBRASKA

1: Langdon Frothingham (1890) : He went back east to teach, he was appointed a HC because he had a ball.

2: T.U. Lyman (1891) : Only coached one game, a lawyer from Omaha, he was really not qualified so to speak

3: J.S. Williams (1892)

4: Charles Thomas (1895)

5: Fielding H Yost (1898): Coached until UNL could hire an HC

6: Alonzo Edwin Branch (1899)

7: William G. Kline (1918)

8: Glenn Presnell (1942)

9: Pete Elliott (1956)

10: ?
Forgot Amos Foster 1906

George Clark was the AD and coached 1945 and 48 no coach for those years were hired

Coaching at Nebraska for most coaches are from one year to 8, the exceptions; Devaney and Ozzy

you cant count the 1890s, the Pawnee and Sioux were still grabbing scalps here on the plains and no coach wanted in on that sh#t.
