Moos’s 6 Targets

[Clevinger_rivals246724]

Between comments from Moos and reporting about who we have reached out to, I’d say the 6 guys on his list are:

1) Frost (duh)
2) Fuente
3) Mullen
4) Campbell
5) Sumlin
6) Kelly

It also sounds like Frost is the guy and Kelly wasn’t interested.

Overall, I really came away impressed with Moos today and feel confident about this.

If Frost says no or goes to Florida what are the chances any of the other five take the job? I would say Sumlin is the only realistic other candidate. If the alum goes elsewhere that is a huge red flag. IMHO

Petersen instead of chip

Or we could hope and pray the Texans would lose their mind and fire O'Brien.

I thought about that, but Moos specifically said he was happy at Washington.

I think Moos knows what he is doing.

I do think we get Frost. I think they are trying to keep it quiet, given his remaining game.

I would be happy though with anyone on the list above.

 

[LouisK]

Frost is N.

 

[TheNewNU_rivals50820]

If it's not Frost it'll be Kevin Sumlin. No contract to buyout, excellent recruiter, knows the B1G, and has known Bill Moos for at least 27 years. I for one would be thrilled if we can land either of them.

 

[Wasker77]

Anyone who thought Mac was the savior of Colorado after last year should be watching the Buffs get stampeded by Utah. They are going to finish 5-7. I've read where some schools, Ole Miss, for one are interested in Mac. Good Luck with that pick.

Not sure if we want a coach who has just been fired for not winning enough games.

 

[barney44]

I wouldn't trust that hire..

 

[stonesak]

Please no on Sumlin. He's another Pelini. Good enough to win enough to keep his job, not good enough to compete for championships (even with a talent like Manziel).

 

[SPbObRT]

we won't hire a coach who just got canned, that would be very stupid, Mullen isn't going anywhere and the ISU coach has a huge buyout and we are already paying millions of cash to ex coaches and such, just my two cents

 

[SoFL Husker]

What about Norvell? Young, energetic, offensive minded coach who has Memphis playing lights out.

And it feels like a Frost is in the air...

 

[stonesak]

I believe it's Frost. He's the only coach on that list with another game to play before the bowls. If Scott wasn't interested, I believe he would've told us and we'd be announcing a new coach ASAP. It really feels like Frost is N, and we just have to wait one more week.

 

[HUSKERFAN66]

Not a P5 head coach. Yes, neither is Frost, but het is why there's 6 on his list instead of 5.

 

[SoFL Husker]

That's right, gotcha.

 

[Headcard]

Sumlin is a terrible recruiter! The Horns have been down and he still didn’t recruit as well as he could have. I certainly would not be thrilled with Sumlin! He had everything he could want in the way of resources and he still blew it at A&M. Terrible coach!

Terrible recruiter? Are you kidding? ATM is a tough place to win big, I think Sumlin is a heck of a coach and I would be thrilled with him as plan B

You hope Moos knows what he is doing.

Most reports and rumors have frost going to Florida, except those rumors and reports inside Nebraska.

I am not sure the list you provided is accurate. Moos said he wasn’t told no by anyone, considering Kelly had a list of UCLA and Florida, with Nebraska not on that list of 2, one would have to say Kelly said he was not not interested. So either Moos is lying when he said he wasn’t told no, or Kelly wasn’t contacted as one of the 6

Sumlin - Arizona St is about to fire their coach
Frost - hearing Florida
Mullen - just agreed to an extension and publicly stated he isn’t leaving starkvegas
Fuente - maybe
Campbell - buyout is big and a concern, especially with Moos making comments about not overspending.
Kelly - see above.

My response wasn’t to question Moos specifically, I just asked if Frost goes to Florida who on that list is going to be the next choice? And what are the odds one of the remaining 4 (Kelly at UCLA and Assuming Frost goes to Florida) takes the job?

I think the order of probability is below, and none with a greater than 30% chance, in my view.

Sumlin
Campbell
Fuente
Mullen

 

[Pennsyhusker_rivals246774]

Frost is not going to Florida. And there are more rumblings about him coming here than just inside Nebraska. See the thread on Chris Fowler

 

[SkerInCo]

Iowa State 2017 = Colorado 2016. Not sold on Campbell at all.

 

[tpmcg_rivals137159]

im expecting the unexpected.
but i think itll be good.

 

[WHCSC]

Maybe he contacted Kelly to talk about Frost

You are the only person whose opinion I'd trust on this board who thinks Frost is going to Florida. Curious to know more about what you are "hearing."

Sumlin
Campbell
Fuente
Mullen

The question was HAVE YOU OFFERED THE JOB TO ANYONE AND BEEN TOLD NO. So in fact I think Moos's people did contact Kelley's agent and he was told Kelley wasn't interested in NU but Kelley was never "offered the job".

 

[oldjar07]

Sumlin is a great recruiter. His teams underperform their talent level however.

Campbell and Sumlin were not on the list. Patterson and Pedersen were along with Frost, Kelly, Mullen and Fuente.

All six were asked if interested, Kelly, Patterson and Pedersen said no. Frost Mullen and Fuente said yes.

Moos offered Frost first and when Frost accepted Mullen moved and accepted the offer to Florida and Fuente stayed put. If Frost had said no it would have been one of the other two.

Which of the two would have gotten it IDK.

IF that was the list, pretty good list. Now I hope he does as well with his basketball list.

Florida already hired Mullen. It’s pretty obvious by now that Frost is coming home. So this speculation is pointless.

 

[jimbosc]

I am 100% good with Frost - but if Mullen or Fuente had ended up as head coach - I would have been happy with either. Moos is the shizzle.

 

[regoratsginrom]

You may be right about Moos. However I think it will more likely be "Moos will be the shizzle" vs. "Moos is the shizzle." The Frost hire was a foregone conclusion and required nothing special on Moos part....just make sure you don't f*ck it up. Frost was hired by public opinion...the money was provided by the BMDs...and he already had a desire to be here. Probably the easiest, no brainer hire Moos will ever have.

Frost was hired because he turned a winless team into an undefeated one in TWO YEARS! Compared to our last three year coaching stint, that’s a massive accomplishment. And don’t give me the usual BS about how much talent he walked into. He inherited a dumpster fire, and had to compete for talent against power teams in the ACC and SEC. And the notion that public opinion forced the hire is just stupid — Florida, Tennessee and FSU (who, last I checked don’t listen to Husker fan opinions), went after him hard. So sorry, his credentials more than qualified him to be our coach, and thank God for his loyalty.

And right back into one

And Tennessee is showing how easy it is for mediocre leadership to F--- up a coaching search. Frost would not be coming here if we didn't fire Eichorst and hire a competent A.D. Thankfully, Bounds and Green had the vision to get Moos in here early. Right now, Arkansas is trying to find an A.D. and a football coach at the same time.

I haven't heard anything about the AKS coaching search. How's that going?

Didn't mean or say that Frost wasn't qualified to be our coach. He most definitely is. What I'm saying is that Moos didn't have to "sleuth out" who would be our next coach. Given his accomplishments, along with his ties to NU (and longstanding desire to be here), and the outcrying from Husker Nation he was the obvious and easy choice. I don't think it was a decision that kept Moos up at night wondering which way to go. My opinion. YMMV.

I hear you. But, just wanted to point out that Frost was being courted by many big, prominent programs. Moos deserves credit, in my opinion, for his transparency, his decency, his tenacity (I hear he was very effective at getting Coach Osborne’s help at critical moments), and for ultimately persuading Frost to come home. Our last AD would have been inept at this. It was handled superbly.

Hopefully, he knows how deal with ours!

 

[huskerhooligansdotcom]

Or we could hope and pray the Texans would lose their mind and fire O'Brien.

Never understood why people love O'Brien so much. In my eyes, he's the coach that went 0-2 against Bo Pelini, including a loss against Bo's worst team in 2013 when we were playing our third string QB. yeah yeah they had a scholarship limit issue but its not like he's killed in Houston either
