Off the Radar Candidate - Dan Lanning

Yeah, if you don't think Luke was canned...you don't get how things work.

I’m jaded from hiring Bo Pelini and that not working out.

5 Years of Power 5 Head coaching experience (and success) should be a minimum requirement imo

It worked much better than all other hires the last 20 years we’ve made that we’re head coaches before

What a convincing counter-argument to, you know, reality.

Thank you! I am glad you agree.

Thank you! I am glad you agree.

I don't. If you don't understand that I was making fun of you.... you don't know how things work.

 

[SuperBigFan]

I don't. If you don't understand that I was making fun of you.... you don't know how things work.

No you were not, you said it was a great counter. I thanked you. It is okay, I appreciate it.

Callahan also left him with first round NFL draft pick talent. What if Pelini inherited the same roster Frost did?

I think Frost inherited more talent than he says to the press, at the same time he did inherit much less talent than Bo Pelini did

Herman was 54-22 as a HC. 6 winning seasons (5-0 in Bowl Hames), 4 Top-25 seasons, 2 Top 10 seasons and 2 Top 5 recruiting classes. Pretty solid resume to me.

I worry that, as a former QB, he might think he could mentor and develop the position without the help of the wizard, Super Mario Verduzco. Trev would need to make it clear — you keep MV or the offer is null and void.

I'm just not sure I agree. Smart, Jimbo, Day, Lincoln Riley, Bob Stoops. Lots of guys went from Coordinators to winning big at big time programs. And while Pelini didn't win big, he was more successful than the NFL HC coach before him or the P5 HC after him.

Dabo was a position coach.

Yeah, that is probably true.

Bo also recruited more NFL talent than Frost, or so it appears.

 

[RedBaloneyPony]

Yeah, that is probably true.

I think we undervalued how much better Bo's staff was at developing players than Frost's. Looking back, our Oline and Dline were always solid, running backs were good and recievers were servicable.

 

[BrighteRed24_rivals190920]

Yeah, that is probably true.

Bo also recruited more NFL talent than Frost, or so it appears.

I could agree with that. Some names that come to mind: Rex Burkhead, Ameer Abdullah, Lavonte David, Randy Gregory, Quincy Enunwa, Kenny Bell to name a few.

Well there was this weird idea that Bo only hired "yes men" that did not know how to coach but that really was not the case.

The staff put a lot of guys in the NFL

Asante
Gomes
Haag
Dennard (who should have left early)
RG who is really good
David (HOFer)
SJB
Prince (BC recruit?)
Ameer
Rex

Then you had some decent TE's but those might have been BC guys. And Bell was good, so was Morgan.
