Maybe you should include yourself in that group. In February, 2018, shortly after Frost was hired, you posted your prediction for the 2018 season......
A buffoonish prediction for sure. Another poster replied that "you can't be serious" ... to which you replied:
I believe you should save the lectures.
Don't care much for O'Brien. However, he walked into the biggest shitshow in college sports history and came out 15-9. Scott walked into the shitshow of smiling Mike. His record after his first two years? 9-15. Coincidence? I don't think so. Bill will be the new head coach for sure now.
No problem. Chris Klieman is my top choice to be the next head coach at Nebraska. I know kansas state had a rough end to last season but if he puts together a good start this year it becomes obvious the guy is an elite head coach that deserves a shot at a bigger job and he enters this season with the 8th best winning percentage of all D1 coaches.
Kansas State opens up against Stanford. That will be a game to pay attention to. If Kansas State wins that they could go into the Oklahoma game undefeated.
Ok, took him off. I get the arguments against it, as mentioned earlier in the thread.
Approaching 300 on the next coach thread, and it’s only Monday after Week 0.
This fan base is motivated.

Any outsider can size up the failures of our past coaches and would be confident he does not repeat them. Win 8 to 10 a year, don't get blown out and you could settle in nicely at Nebraska.
If Nebraska moves on from Frost I agree they need someone with experience. However, Bill OBrien to me would not be the right guy for Nebraska. He’s a good coach, but he also seems a bit too thin-skinned to put up with job like the Nebraska head coach. Plus I think he’s being a groomed for an SEC job.
Malzahn is also not coming to Lincoln. He’s in a great spot and can hold out for something better.
Craig Bohl fo me seems like the obvious choice. Checks all the boxes with Nebraska ties and twenty years of head coaching experience. Only down point is at 64 years old he’s not a long-term solution.
Anyone have an ESPN+ Subscription?
The list is not about assuming who would come and who wouldn't. It's about being smart in how we put together a list and then you go through the list to find out who would be interested and who will not make a move and then adjust from there. Not a single person on this message board will know the answer to any of those coaches on my list about taking the Nebraska job or not. All we can do is guess just like anyone else does.
But in the end, if you have a list of coaches that fit, and there are several on the list, chances are someone on that list will want to be paid a few million dollars a year to give it a shot.
The next coach just needs to not be afraid of hard work, actually ******* recruit instead of spamming out offers and just taking the guys who say yes without putting in the work, and teach ******* basic fundamentals.
There are high school staffs in Nebraska that would do a better job than Scott Frost is.
That’s not true. Scott Frost is an incredibly accomplished coach. The best course of action is letting him finish what he’s started.
Trev has connections beyond what most ADs would have. Better yet, with his recent experience in college and the NFL IMO he's a lot better equipped to evaluate Frost and/or a prospective coach. I'm over the emotion of the loss now. Analyzing what happened in that game I can't excuse it but damn, when 2 damned plays change a game the way they did.... Two plays likely caused a swing of 21 points. How? That interception was a back breaker for Illinois. If not for those penalties negating the INT, we would have had great field position and I think Illinois would have given up. Instead it gave them hope and they went down and scored. That's 14 points right there. Obviously the scoop and score was 7.
I don't remember who it was who said it on the radio, but they made the point that the single most important play that cost us that game was that penalty on the QB hit. That was likely a 14 point swing. So. Given that, if there is any way on God's green earth that a few of these guys can get their heads out of their asses we can win some games. Forget the missed open receivers. Forget the spotty O line play. Just quit making the HUGE stupid individual mistakes and you can win some games.
Craig Bohl?? Why such low expectations for Nebraska? LOL, No Bill O'Brien but yest to Craig Bohl, Craig Bohl?? LOL
No. That would be an irrational emotional thing that a message board poster would do. We need to chill and let the season progress. We've seen highly ranked teams lose stinkers to FCS teams and still come back and have good years. Hell didn't ISU just do it a couple of years ago? I'm over my anger from Saturday and am just going to sit back and see how this team responds. A couple of better decisions by seniors and we win that game by several scores. They need to get their heads out of their asses.
I can get behind that... we do need to understand that...
1) The next two games are Fordham and Buffalo... winning those games proves nothing... Losing even one of them however proves everything
2) If he has a turnaround season then yes, we made the right decision... if he gets worse (***Shudders***) then it's the easy choice to let him go...
I spent $6 to read the article. Not worth $6 to use as toilet paper. Very lazy insights. Just ties everyone to the same potential jobs...Michigan, Arizona State, VA Tech, and if some guys left this is who the replacement could be.
Never once mentioned Nebraska.
I agree. Any coaching decisions need to be made after the season, or after it has completely fallen apart. Most agreed something like 7 wins was needed to show progress and keep the Head Coach here and that metric shouldn't change. Hard to see that happening right now, but we need to let the season play out.

I think I came up with a pretty solid list of names to replace Scott Frost when his eventual firing happens.
I was looking at the James Madison coach but he has been struggling at Eastern Carolina.
I looked at the new Fresno State coach but this is his first year at the D1 level. Not worth the risk yet.
I looked at the North Dakota State head coach and he has to prove he isn't going to let that program slip backwards to be on this list. I could see him coming as the OC if Chris got the Nebraska job.
I looked at Dawson at Wake Forest and he is just another Mike Riley record.
I feel comfortable about what I put together and will send it in this week and if they want to look at then cool. If not, that is their choice. I'll include the actual resume for titles, division titles, schemes they run, etc, when I send it in.

What about NFL coaches with some college experience? I know Urban Meyer and Matt Ruhle won't be available unless they screw up in the NFL like Saban did. O'Brien did better in the NFL than Saban and now is Saban's OC&QB coach directly learning what Saban does in college.
I'd prefer to stay at the college level where coaches have ties to the college schemes, environment, recruits, etc, and can hit the ground running with a signing class and transfer portal.
Make sure to ask for a meeting with Trev Alberts too so that you can explain some of your choices in greater detail.
I'd say Bell West's coach, but that's not exactly Nebraska ball they're playing there. Good for them, gets lots of stud recruits to big programs from the state. But not as power run/option, even from the spread, as we'd all like to see
sucks this is all we have to talk about re: Nebraska Football for the next 3 months.
Nor would PJ Fleck. He's just built us up with all his own recruits? Why start over with a "lateral" move at best? Both of our programs used to be blue bloods way back in history, but neither are now. Much better chance of making Minnesota relevant than Nebraska.
Nobody is saying all of the names on my list would take the Nebraska job if offered. That really isn't the point or the takeaway from this.
Create a list that fits specific criteria - running focused, good special teams, and stops the run.
Put together that list, as I have done, then you start from the top with Hugh Freeze, Gus Malzahn, etc, and work your way down.

you were a blue blood bc of draft dodging cowards
we remain a blue blood bc of the most dominant run in the history of college football
Lateral move, now that is funny.
But tell us more about how he has built Minnesota up, by losing more than his predecessors? You can keep the self promoting dirt bag. Seems to fit you well.
