Just saying. He’s a manly man unlike Scotty boy. Okie State be playin in the MAC soon after the Big12 implodes.
Gundy would be a solid hire.
- Thread starter Duc748_rivals
- Start date
Gundy has said a few off the wall remarks but yes, The Man can definitely coach and knows how to motivate his team.
If Frost is let go I think Alberts will contact Meyer about his interest for the Nebraska job. I know Meyer would not be the long term solution but he would get things back on track. Meyer is not an NFL coach just like Saban but those two sure knows how to run a college program.
After leaving tOSU and failing in the NFL, I just don’t see him taking the Nebraska job..
Alberts better know for sure who the coach will be before he fires anyone and it better be a big name. If it’s not a big name and recruiting drops further off a cliff we’re screwed.
I don’t think Nebraska needs a big name. Nebraska needs a smart mind who coaches hard. Doesn’t try to be one of the guys. Many successful coaches weren’t “big names” before they were hired.
Needs to be combo right cultural fit and right leader. I think Frost is absolutely the right cultural fit but seems to be lacking in leadership.
Could be, my post was more about Nebraska needs to find a way not to have recruiting slip any further.
So, if he can't get a big name he should keep Frost even if Frost has another losing season? Okay.
I believe he should have a coach all but hired is all, you know a behind the scenes agreement, my response was to the guy that stated if Frost is let go, Alberts should contact Meyer…..I want Frost gone if he can’t get to 8 wins this season. I could settle for 7 if it was the right 7, but then again the decision makers aren’t asking me.
How many would really complain if Meyer were to become Nebraska's HC? I thought at first Alberts would go after Meyer's if Frost was let go but then I realized Nebraska has too many meddling hands in the program to let it happen. Alberts cannot make the call on his own he must answer to others.
I don't think BIG12 is going to Implode like many do... Yes it's a big hurt losing Texas and Oklahoma, but they've added decent teams in place. Whatever they can salvage with Pac12 I think they'll be ok.. With that said I can't see Gundy leaving his Alma Mater to come coach the dumpster fire that is Nebraska football...
How does it work in your opinion?? I honestly don’t know, I always thought the AD had sole discretion.
His ego would compel him to consider it. A guy like that doesnt want his career as a coach to end as a failure.
The AD has bosses like everyone else , he has get the OK from them , despite what some OPs on here think that is reality everywhere. The Meddling hands that OP is referring to is people like TO that’s been meddling ever since he retired.
At Nebraska it's not up to the AD entirely, I'm not totally sure how it works but I do know Alberts does not have total freedom to make the hire. Very few AD's have entire freedom to do anything they want so it would be rather hard for Alberts to get Meyer's to coach at Nebraska on his own.
It would take Nebraska to come up with a lot of money (Highest paid coach in college football) and guarantees in order to get Meyer and I'm not sure those in charge would agree even though the fans want it. I personally think a Meyer hire would only boost the value of the product that is Nebraska Football and increase the fan base. jmo
Explain?
Because in 1 game I wanted Iowa to beat an Sec Team but said it'd be tough for them to grind it out and then guess what.. they ended up losing as I alluded to..
Iowa was 13th ranked defense in the country last year
Iowa SOS was also 13th MSU 12th Kentucky 59th
And Kentucky was losing in the 4th qtr against Chattanooga.
Sorry everything I said was factual.. Sorry you're butt hurt I wanted Iowa to win against an SEC team
It was all factual and not something a Nebraska fan would focus on. All you needed to post was I am a Nebraska fan. The long explanation has me convinced even more that you’re a hawkkk fan. If not you know what to do.
It was apart of the discussion for that thread? I know plenty of Nebraska fans that pulled for them.. Sorry not everyone is stuck in your ways of how you enjoy college football.. but I'm not gonna continue your argument from a different thread on this topic
I’d be shocked if Alberts hasn’t made a few inquiries since he renegotiated Frosts contract last year.
Most coaches that seemingly come out if nowhere are starting at a mid level school , a school without much of a history of success. Tell me a higher of a nobody at a major P5 program recently., not happening.
Most of the top 30-35 schools are chasing major coaching talent. Nebraska does not have an mulligan when it comes to coaching hires. This program is on life support as it is .
I don’t think even Saban was a big name when Bama got him. I know Urban was a big name but that’s from Utah. Matt Campbell who many on this board want was unknown. James Franklin came from Vandy. I also know many “name” coaches fail if they aren’t the right cultural fit.
IF, the Meyer thing were in the works, I doubt seriously NU would have to make him the highest paid coach.
They could do a BIG contract with tons of room for incentives, like wins, conference wins, win the West, etc etc. Even though Urban is super successful, he is still coming off a disaster in Jacksonville, and I think the general public would wonder why NU had to pay that kind of money to sign him.
Meyer still has to rehabilitate his "image", everybody knows the SOB will win a ton of games if he gets a couple years in this or most head jobs. The money will be there one way or another.
Ummmm… might want to go check that out. Saban won a championship at LSU before going to Bama
Before Alabama , Saban turned an awful Michigan state into a winner. Led LSU to a national title .
Franklin led Vandy to three straight bowl games , it had never been to a bowl previously
Campbell was at Toledo previously Was Mac coach of the year and had them ranked in the top 20 his las t year 2015.
All were previously successful .

If Alberts whiffs on the next hire, we sink even further down the toilet. Got to get the right guy first.
Gundy has done well at Okie Lite, but he is a pass for me. I question how much gas he has left in the tank and could not help but wonder if his heart would really be in it here.
Need to consider a position coach. None of our HC hires with experience have worked. Look at Arkansas, they hired Georgia’s o-line coach Sam Pittman and it’s worked out very well.
