sorry, didn't delete him from the copy and past I did from the other post into the original post. I'll take him out now.

When are you guys gonna realize you aren't relevant anymore? The rest of the country knows it, eventually it'll sink into your skulls too. One *** whoopin' by Wisconsin in the B1G championship game is like the best you've done in the past 20 years. Glory days are over and you need to get them back, it's not a continuation.
And honestly, what program looks headed in the better direction right now?
Honest question, when would being a blue blood end in your opinion? If you guys don't reach 10 wins in any season in the next 20 years, are you still a blue blood?
Neither program has much of anything going for it right now, but we aren't content to keep it that way, you are.
Somehow you have let a used car salesman of a coach convince you his 3-4, 5-7 and 7-6 seasons are special and better than the 9-4 and 8-5 seasons before him and you have bought it hook line and sinker.
And since you mentioned the last 20 years:
Nebraska:
152-101
7 Top-25 finishes
4 Divison Championships
Minnesota:
125-121
2 Top-25 finished
0 Divison Championships
We could also compare, attendance, facilities, money, recruiting, etc, etc. If you need.
A Minnesota fan up on another team's board lecturing them on irrelevance.
When fans of other teams come up here you know what they say?
"Damn, what happened to your proud program? You've become Minnesota!"
He didn't convince us 5-7 is special, but I can understand you being butt hurt since you guys can't even beat us anymore. And I'm more than happy to compare attendance this year. I'm sure your stadium will be standing room only for Fordham, your only win this year.
And how's that recruiting going for you? We will have a bunch of draft picks this year. You guys? A-Mart was a very highly rated recruit, I'll give you that. Way ahead of Tanner Morgan, so you have that going for you lol.
Minnesota fan after 2020: "Nebraska sucks, they only won 3 games".
Also Minnesota fan after 2020: "We won 3 games, we are elite!"
if we're so irrelevant, why are you on the Nebraska board and not out burning your ******** city to the ground?
So you do want to compare attendance numbers, OK:
Nebraska:
2019: 89,348
2018: 89,034
2017: 89,798
2016: 90,200
2015: 89,998
Minnesota:
2019: 46,190
2018: 37,915
2017: 44,358
2016: 43,814
2015: 52,366
And you do want to compare recruiting rankings:
Nebraska:
2021: 18
2020: 17
2019: 15
2018: 21
2017: 20
Minnesota:
2021: 41
2020: 38
2019: 41
2018: 43
2017: 57
No wonder you are over here trying to feel better about yourself. Ugh, not so elite after all.
Stanford Steve & the Bear did their conference previews over the last couple weeks on their podcast, which is one of ESPN's most popular
when they did the B1G, they just completely forgot to preview minn. had no problem remembering maryland, rutgers, purdue, etc., though.
irrelevant is as irrelevant does

You certainly got me on recruiting. A-Mart was higher than our QB - of course, ours can hit open receivers, yours can't. And your RB Stepp or whatever was higher rated than ours, of course, ours is the reigning B1G RB of the year. And that offensive line you got, what a bunch of maulers! No wonder you've been kicking our asses recently...oh wait.
As far as attendance, tickets sold doesn't mean squat. Also, if we had nothing else to do except stare at cornfields and tip cows, we'd have 100,000 seats at our stadium.
Either way, you guys aren't a blue blood anymore. Who's gonna win more games the next few years?

you guys have plenty more to do than us, that's for sure
congrats on all the media coverage last summer!
Everyone here probably agrees that AM is not very good. So let's compare him to the elite Tanner Morgan:
2020 Tanner Morgan:
1,339 total yards
7 total TD
58% Completion Percentage
2020 Adrian Martinez:
1,576 Total Yards
11 Total TD
72% Completion Percentage
I did attend a home game and Stub and Herb's was a pretty fun place. But the rest of the tailgate and bar scene was horrible.
Not to get too involved in this circle jerk, but those aren't attendance numbers, those are ticket "sales". Nebraska had a game (vs Illinois) a few years ago where fewer than 2/3rds actually showed up. Not once in 2019 did attendance ever reach 90% of capacity.

Huskers: Sellout streak doesn't mean 100% full stadium
There's no doubt Nebraska Cornhusker fans are some of the best in the country. They're known of unwavering support, hospitality, and most of all, showing up.

Thank you for your continued obsession.
Can we stay on topic, please? This is a thread about who could replace Scott Frost.
Speaking of that, I went through all of the big name coordinators from the last two football seasons and all of them already got head coaching jobs besides Grinch that spent time at Washington State, Ohio State, and now Oklahoma.
For coordinator names, there really aren't any star names in the game right now besides the DC at Clemson that gets paid as much as some head coaches at the D1 level and Grinch.
I'm trying to find names to add to my list and it's not easy.

According to all time winning percentage and one of eight schools to win more than 900 games were still a blue blood.. blue blood are through out history…Gophers never have won a national championship playing two platoon football…
I'm done with the Nebraska ties thing. Get someone that runs a strong program, can recruit, and knows how to win in the Big 10. No West Coast Offense guys, no ex-Husker guys with minimal experience but buddies in the system.
I thought having Nebraska ties may help to build success, but it really doesn't. Just hire a person that runs a style that fits at Nebraska.
It gets annoying when people just throw names out there and it's a pass-happy system or other crap that everyone else does and they think that person would be a good hire. NO!!!!
Nebraska needs to do something that is a bit different than everyone else to win football games. There aren't that many heavy, downhill smash the ball down your throat teams anymore.

I'm researching Jeff Monken in more detail.
11 years of head coaching experience
6 out of those 11 years he won 9 games or more at two different schools (CONSISTENCY)
Made it to the FCS semifinals 3 straight years at Georgia Southern
Rebuilt the Army program and became the only Army coach to ever win 11 games in a season.
For his games against Michigan, Ohio State and Oklahoma, he took two of those games into overtime and played all 3 closer than the last 3 Nebraska coaches have.
Finished in the top 10 in total team rushing yards every year. rarely got blown out. Army plays Wisconsin this year and they will play Wisconsin a lot closer than Scott Frost will.
Simply put, Jeff Monken's name is not getting talked about enough.
Give Jeff Monken better athletes to run his system and he can win the Big Ten conference.
All he would really need to do is adjust the offense a tad bit to incorporate a little more passing to keep defenses honest.
Prior to Jeff being the head caoch at Army they had 1 winning season since 1997.
Jeff was a finalist for the Kansas job, interviewed for the South Carolina and IL jobs, and was also mentioned in jobs such as Missouri.
If offered, Jeff would take the Nebraska job, IMO. He would have taken the kansas job if that was offered.

Bienemy is an intriguing choice. Wants to be a HC. Reid and other endorse him. Would have clout in the 500 mile radius based on success as player and coach.
Jeff Monken proven experience over Bienemy or anyone that hasn't like Bienemy. It's not that hard folks. Let's be smart.
He is from Illinois and they did not interview him, unless you mean like 5 years ago.
I like the guy and he is not married to the triple option and he is a good coach, I do wonder if he might just really like being at Army.
What about Stanford’s coach? David Shaw. That’s hard nosed running game offense. And solid D. I think they are on a bit of a down swing
Agreed
Look, the top 2 names are Saban and Dabo. Those guys are not coming and we know that. Now, name the top 5 current CFB coaches after them...
One name is on that list for everyone, Gus Malzahn.
He isn't an Army lifer. He was one of four finalists for the Kansas job. I don't think he was a finalist for IL, but his name was mentioned in articles I read.
Yeah, I am not sure. Like I said he is form IL and his family has deep roots in the state as coaches but he has not left or been offered any jobs in the state. I like the guy and I think he would have been a perfect for for the Illini. I think some AD's are worried he only coaches the option.
Monken does like Army. Interviewing isnt the same as accepting.
Some ADs are scared to take the jump for him because A) Its different, and everyone is scared of different (see trench warfare WW1) and B) If it doesnt work out you are guaranteed to go through two major rebuilds.
I would take Monken in a heartbeat. His teams control the ball, have stout defense, and play hard.
Doubt we even give him a sniff, however.
Nebraska fans have become too cute and enamored with flashy things ever since that hack callahan walked in the door and shifted five times before the snap….”ooooooo…ahhhhh!”
nevermind that we threw five picks, it looked hip.

I do have one knock on Monken: They shoulda won that OU game but he decided to throw in oklahoma territory on a 2nd or 3rd down and like four yards….threw a pick that killed the winning drive.
