If this is the "answer" then give my Mickey. O'Brien was god awful when he was with the Patriots. This would be a Bill Callahan hire.

I hate to be a wet blanket but if this is true I can guarantee we will not win a national championship in the next 5 years let alone 2 or 3

- take it to the bank
If Urban Meyer was hired, I doubt he wins one in the next five years either. He'd have NU in contention for sure, but winning one? Doubtful.

Honestly, at this point I don’t think I even care that much who takes the job, because there aren’t any “wow” hires out there.
My only hope is that whomever it is, hires an elite DC and an elite offensive line coach.

he sure looks like a coach..
bama fans were complaining about him, but do bama fans know what bad coaching is?
do they have any experince with bad coaches?

Bill O'Brien is a good coach and would be a solid hire. It would also be better than some of the other names being thrown out there, including Shaw and Wittingham. I don't think anybody has a clue what's going on right now besides Trev.

His one season as OC of the Patriots they went 13-3 in the regular season and made the Super Bowl. They were 2nd in the NFL in total yards and 3rd in scoring.

O’’Brien will hire good people

We stood by a coach for 4+ losing seasons. The whole impatient Nebraska fans narrative probably needs to die.
Then again, there's folks on this board that think that any criticism on this board hurts the program. Like it's our fault we're sucking.

Does this guy post here? I've seen so many of these "I know something you don't" posts. 🤣
I can't tell you what I know, but when it comes out it will be what I can't tell you about today. Bank on it!

Sign me up if true. Guy is a professional. I remember watching him on Hard Knocks when he was with the Texans. Seemed like a good guy actually, just tough. He had Vrabel as his LB coach and Romeo C. as his DC.

FFS. I don't want the guy just for the BOB puns alone. And they're already starting. I swear some of you have lost your minds.

I think this is a troll and OP intentionally misspelled his name.

Reddit thinks O'Brien flew to Lincoln the night before the Tennessee game? Yeah I'm sure Saban allowed that.
Yeah, they are pointing that out on Reddit also lol.

Edit: Although it's entirely possible it could have been a rep from Alabama meeting with UNL reps? Doesn't have to be BOB himself. In fact, I feel like coaches don't actually go to the university until it's time to introduce them. Especially these days. Interviews are probably conducted over Zoom.

Sark seems to have been revived his career at AL and turned around TX. Could do worse, he checks all the boxes.

Lane also rejuvenated his career at AL. Even though BOB seems like a douche he would be an adult at the program and be a professional.

I highly doubt that a decision has been made yet.
Right, what if mickey gets another close loss, 2/3 of the posters will lose their everloving minds and will storm Trev's office and force him to sign Mickey to 20 years, $500,000,000.00

Not my first choice but he is a total coaching professional.
He basically has no ties to another school
He would hire total pros to fill out his staff

I am trying to think what current college HC he seems like...But I am drawing blanks. Maybe a more polished Bo? Relax...Bo can't hurt you anymore.
id let Bo beat me with a rubber hose if we could go back to 08-11 years.

As I said above - the post was sarcasm

it speaks volumes about the fan base that some think that might be a serious post

I would very much support an O’Brien hire

I'm thinking it is Whittingham. No insider info just throwing **** against the wall.
only problem with him is age...everything else I seen is impressive...watching his players move against usc in unison like a machine on offense was fun to watch

Sarcasm is embellishing the truth. You simply stated the truth. No embellishment, hence no sarcasm in your initial post.

Now I did see your follow up, others obviously have not.
