Helton out at USC

[BIG TONE SOPRANO]

He also has the luxury of being a top 5 job even if the team sucks.

So are we. We could pay a coach $15MM a year and afford it. 99% can’t

Top 20 yes. Top 5 no.

Our issue is we aren’t in a talent rich location. A guy like Urb would never come here. He is going to a place that is easier to recruit.

If you're a good enough coach you'll get them here but it will take longer and it's more work.

He was always a bad fit and a head scratcher hire. Disliked by alumni from the get go. I was actually kind of enjoying them being mediocre TBH. SC fans are insufferable pricks. On the other hand UCLA fans seem to be pretty decent and I hope they do well and give SC some competition.

But if you’re the type of coach like Urb or Chip Kelly with a proven track record you’re not coming to Nebraska. You’re going to a place like USC.

Top 5

Nebraska isn’t close to a top 5 job. There are atleast three better BiG jobs. Michigan, OSU, and PSU.

Also agreed

They better hope the interim doesn’t flip a switch and get them to 9 or 10 wins. Not a fan of firing a coach early in the season. Can bite you in the ass by painting you into a corner.

 

[Jim14510]

Top 5

No. It's not even top 5 money which is one of the few things that keep it in the top 20.

 

[That SOB Van Owen]

Almost as bad of a hire as frost

Almost.

 

[JankTheTank]

Pretty obvious the AD was going to do it the moment Helton stumbled next. I wonder how much money they saved on the buyout by waiting until now versus last December.

That and getting a head start on publicly vetting replacements without shame are about the only advantages I can think of here.

 

[Jim14510]

Stanford did lose to Kansas St who is in the bottom half of the worst P5 conference.

[Savedatmoney]

Why wouldn't they have fired him in the offseason though...

Recruiting is my guess.

Also….fuck you Bruce. #ChrisPetersentoNebraska

 

[Pipe Line]

Reports of Urban being unhappy and issues with his style of coaching not working right now......not a betting man but I don't think that one is too far off.

 

[BIG TONE SOPRANO]

I wish you knew more about what you argued about. We have more money than God. Not sure how you don’t know this
