Coaching Board

We do not want Bill O’Brien. Dude is a prick & eventually ppl within Nebraska will learn to hate him just like the Texans. Even if he was successful, he’s not a long-term solution.

Agreed. IMO, he hasn't done jack or shit that impresses me at the professional or college level. Hard pass.

Not sure he'd even be here long if we did hire him. I can see him having success here with this current roster and bouncing somewhere else after that given how dirty he did Penn State. Which honestly is fine with me. Getting a coach to get this place back to respectable might make it easier to find another coach.
 
Just curious at what peeps fascination is whenever these academy coaches pop up...Nostalgia? Or???

Thx
Nostalgia for me, sure. I also believe it would work. I'd like to see Duval work with an offensive scheme like that like he should be with the Husker Power program.

I would caution peeps on MIL coaches when 65"% or higher of the work on the players has been done before these kids stepped foot on campus or is part of their daily lives..u really have to question how much of it is on their coaching. I am being 100% serious..

1. These MIL kids are all undersized or tweeners with no major offers..which means: They had to win spots on teams by working on fundamentals, and by effort and grit...not all of the 4 star kids have all these attributes or correct attitudes.

2. All those MIL kids are fairly Intelligent as they need to have very good grades just to be accepted at an academy school. Not all the schollie kids at big boy schools are gonna be this way...

3. Most of those kids had further ROTC training which teaches leadership, teamwork, and attention to detail prior to setting foot on campus.

4. These kids daily lives are ALL ABOUT teamwork and attention to detail, oh yeah then they go to football practice where it's drilled even more. You are not gonna find this within the framework of big boys schools..so the daily framework in the MIL academies helps on the football field and has nothing to do w the coaches...

So in all honesty, u have highly intelligent kids, who all have chips on their shoulders, who are really good at the attention to detail and fundamentals, and get drilled on it even after practice..over and over again just as part of their normal daily college lives.

So how much of the crisp, attention to detail, and smooth running of their offenses etc. are due to the coaches and how much is due to the kids themselves and the program they live under on a daily basis outside of football?

It is enough of a question mark for me to stay away from academy coaches. And another log on the fire, most all these kids have the right attitudes and discipline prior to getting to campus..so u have no idea how these academy coaches would even mesh or deal with these normal kids who are not as discipline or have the proper mindsets cuz frankly they don't have to deal with much of it..

Anyway..just my two cents...

I don't think Frost is gone unless we have an 07/17 collapse down the stretch (and don't want him gone FWIW), but give me Chadwell if we get to that.

I don’t care how long he’s here. Him moving on would imply he’s had a good level of success. I will take a few years of success at this point.

I mean yeah those are all stellar points. I guess a lot of people point to X's and O's when hiring a coach. Strictly Xs and Os I think it'd work out just fine. I don't know I guess in a perfect world in my opinion, I don't know about Assistants but make Monken and Frost Co-HC and Co-OCs and run the program together. Basically make a deal with Frost that he can stay aboard and keep getting paid handsomly but here's the conditions.


Replace Austin, Held, and Verdu with higher quality assistants. I'm good with the Defensive staff.
