Trev isn't firing Frost midseason. By that point the early signing period would realistically be over. You would gain nothing by firing him before the year ends. Something tells me that we right this thing somewhat. So much for my 8 wins prediction. Now 6-6 would seem like a miracle.
Fleck is 1-7 vs Iowa and Wisconsin.
Fleck would not be a good hire for Nebraska, in more ways than one.
We need someone from outside the B1G imo.
If Kyle Wittingham was younger I would have listed him. He is a solid coach but is 61 and his recruiting sucks ****.
I'm going to take PJ off the list. People have made solid arguments for why he shouldn't be looked at. This is the type of discussion that I was wanting to have - a healthy debate on some potential names.

something tells me that our new AD has a good handle on the coaching profession. I feel that Trev is much more qualified to making decision about our coaching staff than Moos. We'll see. I don't believe he'll make any hasty decisions and boosters are will value his opinion a lot more than they did some of our previous ADs. I don't think Tom will have any role going forward in our coaching decisions. We're really clueless.
Freeze would not be a good hire and I’m surprised so may are for him.
He would absolutely leave us holding the bag full of recruiting violations and/or would be a “force fire”.
There are plenty of other options than that scumbag.
Monken, Leipold, chadwell, fickell, malzahn…..

The worry with Alberts is that he has not been around major college football as an AD.
Does he have the connections to make “off the record” phone calls about these guys to people in the know who will trust him enough to give him the run down?
or is he limited to a few contacts and zones in on one guy like eichorst did, whether or not that guy Is the right one?
I dont know the answers to the questions I just know they are legitimate questions.
I think the obvious targets would be Campbell or Fickell. Either that or drag Bob Stoops out of retirement are probably my top 3 choices at the moment. Some of the names mentioned I'm skeptical of, but there's a lot of guys out there who could get better results than Frost.
Solich, Sanders, and Carl to name a few, all did the bop in their time at NU Laughing
Name the ones that are awful. I didn't list a single coach with a career losing record or anyone that hasn't won something.
If we hired a defensive coordinator as the next head caoch, the one name that I'd go after is Alex Grinch. Solid defensive coach.
But I'd prefer someone that has been running a solid rushing offense for years with championship-level resume (conference title at least).
I'm going to post the resume for a few coaches in a post below this one.

Yep, I've decided. I'm all in for Liepold. Proven winner, knows how to build program and a culture. Would stay here for the duration and not use this as a stepping stone. I'd almost guarantee he would win nine games a year. We need that for a few years before taking it up a notch. Give him all the help he needs to recruit
I can **** in a box and guarantee it, what does your guarantee mean?
When the ex-Buffalo coach wins all of 2 games at Kansas this year, will your tune change? The Buffalo to Kansas maneuver hasn't exactly worked out in the past. They have actually had some pretty damn good coaches down there and they all struggled to win more than they lost.
He wins at Kansas, he'll be legendary.
Some resumes....
Gus Malzahn - 9 seasons as a head coach. Never has had a losing season. 8 out of those 9 seasons were in the SEC West. Won the Division 3 times. 2 conference titles.
Lance Leipold. 14 seasons as a head coach. 1st season this year at a P5 school. 37-33 at Buffalo. Won national titles at D3 school. I'd keep him on the radar, but not as a top choice. He has to show he can win at the P5 level first. While it's nice to win natties in D3, it's nothing like Big Ten football.
Jeremy Chadwell - 11 years as a head coach. 4 conference titles. No P5 level experience.
Billy Napier - 3 seasons as a head caoch. 1 conference title. Won the division all three years. Was an assistant coach for Nick Saban for 4 seasons.
Billy Napier is a name that I'd take a seriously hard look at. Defeated Matt Campbell to start the 2020 season, never not won the division, has experience working for Saban is very young.
Gus, Jeremy, and Billy are now my top 3 names after researching these names more and more. All three of these guys have run based offenses.

If he wins three games at Kansas this year he's a miracle worker. Nice attempt at trying to quote Tommy boy.
Since I wanted Bo and Scott, and was okay with Mike. I have zero business wanting, or voicing my opinion. I have **** for brains when it comes to NU coaches.
Disagree. SF is really so bad that anybody is better than him. SF never has the team ready to play on game day, is a bad game day manager, bad play-caller, has bad assistants on the Offensive side of the ball, has poor attention to details because the team plays with very poor fundamentals. SF is a terrible HC. Being a great player doesn’t always make one a great head coach.
Chris Kleiman is a much better coach than Scott Frost. Every name I have on my list is a better head coach.
I just think Chris doesn't warrant being on the list yet. If he shows good results this season then he should be given a serious look.
Fair enough. Your list has some proven winners.
I think Kleiman will do better with less talent against OU this year than Frost will.
It shouldn't be difficult to hire away any Big 12 head coach besides OU, UT and ISU. Thus, who are the Big 12 head coaches and what are the resumes?
Dave Aranda - Baylor. a 3-4 defensive mind. Built the Wisconsin defense into what it is today and had a solid defense at LSU. Was hired to Baylor and his first season was the covid season with a 2-7 record. Since his firt season at WI - his defenses have ranked 9th, 9th, 2nd, 5th, 12th, 30th, 32nd. Pretty consistent results. If he has a good season this year I'd have him on my list.

Mike Gundy at Oklahoma State.
IMO, not a good fit. Runs a ton of 4 WR sets with one 1 RB. Isn't a run oriented coach. Recruiting is bad. Not a terrible coach by any means, just not Big Ten weather type of schemes. 16 seasons at Oklahoma State with 1 conference title. Never had a losing season at Oklahoma State after his first season.
I bet he would take the Nebraska job if offered, but I just don't see the fit for what he runs.

TCU - Gary Patterson.
I remember he was once a hot name coach that schools were interested in but stayed at TCU. Gets paid $5M per year. 6 conference championships in 20 seasons. Had 3 losing seasons in 9 seasons in the Big 12.
I wouldn't be against hiring him, but not at the top of the list due to his age - 61. Gotta go younger with someone in their 40's or early 50's.

I'm not really sure Minnesota isn't a better job than the last several decades indicate. It's the lone university in a fairly big state with the ability to pull in talent from a number of neighboring states. The new stadium kind of gave the football team its own place instead of being the sideshow to Viking games. I for one would be good with going after Fleck but right now I don't know if NU football is in a place to get him.
