So Who Do We Go After?

Why would ISUs place in the college football landscape change anything for Campbell. He has secured a good contract and if anything his job is going to get easier. His desirability won’t change regardless where ISU ends up. He can be as patient as he wants.
I don't think it will matter. We're years away from getting this ship turned around, and college football may not exist in its current form by then.
I’m not here to kick you when you are down, but Matt Campbell has Iowa State improving every year and now ranked in the top ten.
Honestly, Nebraska would be a lateral move or even a step down for him at the present time.
His next college job is Notre Dame, Ohio State or equivalent. Frost was the hottest thing and an all but guaranteed savior…and look what’s become of him now.

That would be a hire that I could get behind. A former Husker that's qualified to be a head coach for NU.Zac Taylor will probably be available, if we want to try hiring another former Husker QB
nd and ohio state is too much pressure, plus they have coaches...Nebraska is just a few miles away, huge upgrade in facilities. and he has a family so he probably doesn't want to be around any rustbelt gang warzones.
Yea, because all the good quarterbacks are in the portal and want to come to NU.
What makes you think he can coach?Zac Taylor will probably be available, if we want to try hiring another former Husker QB
Why? I've seen nothing about Zac that impresses me. Gutsy QB at Nebraska that married the daughter of a former NFL coach.
I like Zac fine but would agree that not only am I not convinced he is a great coach but I am not convinced he is a great motivator which even Frost admitted in his post-game presser is a big chunk missing. He said (in year 4) that we just have not been able to find a way to generate any spark. As telling as his comment that they were just guessing what Illinois might do. Get me a coach that players would run through the proverbial wall for.
The Jets were interested. How much, I do not know, but he pulled back. Maybe they weren't serious enough about him.
If Trev had half a brain he would already be putting the bug in Bielema’s ear while in Champaign.
Obviously you aren’t up to date with Coach Mullet. His recruiting is a main problem. He doesn’t like recruiting anymore and that is creating big issues with his OSU fan base. His classes average in the upper 30-low 50 ranges. He flipped a 5 star WR from OU, but only accomplished that because he gave his G5 brother a scholarship also.
I was actually thinking Bielema might have been a good stylistic fit here before we hired Frost. But lets be candid that the Frost hire was preordained.
I resent you bringing who he married. Zac was on only a warrior for NU, but he has the mind to lead a team. He's no fluke. Failure at the pro level is different from failure at the college level.
Yea, well his situation just changed. He would certainly take a hard look. I would make sure he doesn't like casinos and coeds....just to make sure it's the right hire.
I ask for discussion purposes only-- like Campbell, why leave a program that you have in the Top 10 in your home state to go to a program that has not had a winning record in 6 years? Just to get back into the B1G? I am not certain that is enough in this case.
If we are hiring from the assistant pool….next coach could be found a few weeks from now in Alex Grinch.
He probably was laughing with what he saw out of the offensive genius today.
