Greatest Husker FB Coach of all time

Dana X. Bible. 1929-1936. 50-15-7. Won Big Six Conference Championship 6 of the 8 years. College Football Hall of Fame-1951.

Runner ups are Walter C. Booth. 1900-1905. 46-8-1. and Edward O. Stiehm. 1911-1915. 35-2-3.

The all name team winner though is Langdon Frothingham who coached in 1890 and was 2-0.
 
While I can only go off of history books, Bible would have to be the choice…if we go just off of my lifetime…

Toss up between Solich or Blo Pelini

Modern era and HC only, it's a toss-up between Frank and Bo.

Frank had early success but the farther away he got from the TO era the more things unraveled. Bo's teams were consistently good, just never great. I'll give a slight edge to Frank. At the very least, he proved he could reset things in 2003 with a staff shakeup which proved successful over 2002.

I think we all know who the worst is.
 
How does it make it sound when you can say we fired 2 of our top 5 coaches of all time?
 
In the modern era...I'd have to go with Solich since he won a conference title. Frost is obviously right up there even though he hasn't won a conference title yet but give him a year or two.
