So stop holding back and tell everyone what you really think. They can take it.
So Who Do We Go After?
- Thread starter BleedRed78
- Start date
I honestly think he has to be at the top of the list. He's a guy who can win at places with little in the way of resources. He's a guy who clearly knows how to run a team and build a staff. KU will struggle this year, but if we called, how can he pass that up. Does he have the traits that trip will be looking for? I think probably so
Klieman at KSU. Won Natty's at NDSU. Fargo is a fishbowl and those people are nuts so he's dealt with pressure though a little different pressure. Major college experience. Coaches a disciplined physical brand of football. I hope he is Iowa's first call when KF retires.
Forget names and pedigree. Find a coach that coaches a disciplined physical brand of football and that is a stand up guy. Give him room to work and get results. Nebraska's culture is broken, that's the problem. You guys give games away because the team is so undisciplined and that starts at the top.

An outsider here (lived in Nebraska at one point in time). The demise of the Big 12 is a great opportunity for Nebraska. You can bring in a coach like Patterson of TCU and have recruiting inroads (again) in Texas. You have facilities and a great fan base. An innovative offense, a good quarterback, and some skill would lift you above Iowa and Minnesota.
Matt Campbell may move on some day, but Nebraska is NOT a good enough program for him to move. He has already turned down 68M from the Detroit Lions. He might leave for Ohio State or ND. I hear he is a Cleveland Browns fan from way back. Money is NOT his driving force. Has much higher aspirations. Remember, Matt Campbell choose ISU 2 years before ISU even offered the job to him (his own words not mine.)
That's not a bad choice. Winning at Kansas state is a monumental task. I really don't fault anybody for not getting it done there. Bill Snyder was some kind of miracle worker.
Tom Herman. Can recruit B1G country and TX. I am MANY drinks in so if this sounds crazy…blame the Four Roses…
Maybe if K-State has a really good year this year. But Klieman has lost his last 5 games, and if he has another subpar this year, it would be hard to get people excited about this hire.
Campbell would be a candidate IF he had any interest. He didn't earlier but that might change with the conference uncertainty he's facing.
Actually I think there's talent in the program (that is if it doesn't all hit the transfer portal when/if Scott is fired). What's needed is someone who can develop and motivate the talent which has been Scott's downfall.
Covid lost his last 5 games. He had a skeleton crew of underclassmen by the end of last year. Don't judge him in the freak year of 2020.
Matt C is a big no.
Gus M is a big yes. Knows how to recruit, knows how to win, knows how to compete in a tough conference.

I think Alex Grinch would be the best candidate if the Huskers could get him. I am not sure he would
If the money was the same at both schools, it probably would be absurd. But who knows what he would do if Nebraska offered him several million dollars more per year.
I mean, 5 million at NU is a lot better than 5 million at an SEC school where you know you are losing to most of the schools in your conference.
Big Ten West blows and is ready to be taken over.
I have no idea if Grinch is a good recruiter but my guess is that he would put together a very good recruiting staff.
