Next head coach thread

Something shady with him right? Why hasn’t he gotten a Hc job somewhere?

I’ve never got it. Maybe he is a shitty interview or they think it’s all Andy Reid and Mahomes. I can’t believe he still hasn’t got a pro job. I figure he could recruit a legit qb in college. If you have a legit qb you will win some games.

No chance at Matt Campbell after the Jamie Pollard deal.


Billy Napier, Louisiana Lafayette coach. He’s ready for the jump. Strrroooong ties to Nick Saben. Dabo Sweeney as well. This wouldn’t make headlines, but it’d be a big time hire for us imo.

it’s just a matter of time before he gets a SEC offer

Love this idea, but to your point if it’s NU vs SEC, he’s going to the SEC.

Because hes got a bad drinking problem and he plows other coaches lady friends. Rough life I know.

Just depends on what gig it is. We’ll offer the money. We can out bid a Vanderbilt…probably not a bigger SEC school though

Why would we have no shot at Campbell because Pollard turned us down?

I could be wrong, but my opinion is we’re out because of the Pollard deal. Would happily be wrong on that.

He sounds like a mix of some Carl and Frost. Let’s get a deal done.

Hot take: IDGAF who you hire but find a way to keep chins as DC. This is a good defense but we are very fucked by the offense.

Let Frost step down, promote Chins for the rest of the season, make Bill Busch full-time

Frost can go home and work out his demons

Offer 6.5 mil to Patterson or Gundy. They’re in a defunct conference on life support.

Agree. Frost is going to be here another year no matter what. Bring in a big-name OC and someone who doesn't look like fucking harry potter to coach Qb's and let Frost be a puppet and embarrass himself from time to time in pressers but have absolutely no responsibility over coaching.

I think Pollard as AD would help with that hire, but I don't think him declining the AD gig puts us out of the running if we went after Campbell. Now if Pollard jumped to Michigan or any other school looking to make a coaching change after this year, that changes things.

ISU is in a sinking ship of a conference. If he was ever looking for a legit excuse to get out of Ames after waxing poetic about how much he loves it, OU and Texas gave him the perfect out.

But in terms of things Nebraska can control, it all comes down to how Turd sells the program. If Turd has to make a coaching change, Frost just did him a huge solid by making his firing look even more justifiable. This won't be a Solich/Pelini axing. It's fucking warranted. Sell the new facilities, sell the built in advantages with media and recruiting resources, and add enough zeroes to the check.

That’s a hell of a idea. Problem is, or the main concern, the style of play. B1G doesn’t really seem to fit what they traditionally do.

 

[Red Finger]

No chance, everything I’ve heard in the off-season is he’s out with another crappy year. The powers that be are losing faith, not to mention a AD change…

That’s a awesome post.

good point about it being a defunct conference

I'd take Patterson

It’s fun to dream but let’s be real….Matt Campbell ain’t coming here. Lane Train ain’t coming here. With where we are right now we’re going to have to a chance on an up-and-coming G5/lower P5 coach (e.g. Napier, Leipold) or hot name coordinator (e.g. Jake Peetz if he has a great year at LSU) and just cross our fingers that it works out this time.

i largely agree. It’s a real attractive job though imo. Brand new athletic facility that might be the best in the country, B1G conference, money, low floor / high ceiling. Make a damn bowl game and fans will approve. I’d love Napier. His time is coming.
