Like it was said earlier, I think targeting the best coaches that aren't in the Big 10 and SEC is the way to go. They are at schools who's futures are unknown as far as conference alignment and whether they will get left behind or not.

Most of those names have been said.

I'm gonna throw one out that I didn't see that I really like: Jeff Hafley

He did a really really good job at Ohio St as the DC. And has done a really nice job at BC. Specifically he and his staff are known to identify good talent early.

I think Hafley looks like a reach right now. He hasn’t did enough at BC.

Dear Turd:

Throw all your weight at Aranda.

Retain Mickey and Fischer for continuity.

Next: Treat Frost, Davison and the tradition coalition as the pariahs that they are. They have absolutely steered the ship into iceberg after iceberg. Their opinions shouldn't be treated as valid any longer. Exile is appropriate. The firing of Frost should be as terse as possible. He does not deserve some sorrowful send off where we lament the "native son" who gave his heart and soul to the program. Fuck that. Throw him under the bus and let him go cry with his stolen millions as his only comfort.

You want the TC out of decision making, but you want the AD to clip the new coaches’s nuts by making him keep two coaches he may or may not want?

This is so true and honestly probably the best thing we have going for us right now. My friend was arguing with me yesterday about how Aranda would never consider leaving Baylor for Nebraska, but I think coaches at schools like Baylor see the writing on the wall as far as conference consolidation goes and will look hard at any opportunities to coach a program in what will soon be a Power 2 conference.

Let Turd make the decision and hope he hires the right coach. The new coach can keep or fire whoever he wants. If Turd wants to meddle and be like Eichorst with the new coach he needs fired too.

The only thing that could counter this thinking is a guy like Aranda can still get 4-5 million at Baylor a year and not have the expectations and the issue of going through a gauntlet schedule wise in the BIG. You’re still making a ton of money and are set up for life either way. Most coaches do have an ego and want to compete against the best of the best though.

Yeah. The best managers stay the fuck out of the way because they hire good people. Obviously they give input and ideas but telling anyone they have to retain someone is dumb. I think Mickey has a good chance of being retained because he seems like a relatively high level coach and recruiter (historically, not yesterday on coaching). Fish is gone though. The SEC has been sniffing around him enough lately that it's only a matter of time unless his unit is as bad as it was yesterday all season

I could get behind BOB. He was generally a solid coach at penn state. I think he has done a good job as bama. It can’t be worst than hcsf

O’Brien was my top pick last year. I’d take him in a heartbeat

Would also take Urban, Gundy, Kiffin in a heartbeat

I want Kiffen the most. Urban because the name alone would be a steroid injection to recruiting. Even if he’d only be here 3 years he would get us back on track.

Hahaha we’re still this delusional eh

If you can dream it you can do it fucko

 

[Cookiemonster]

I’m so delusional it hurts. I just want to win 7 games again.

 

[Steveweiser316]

I think I just quit man. I quit. I can’t do this anymore.

 

[doublewing]

Aranda is at the top of my list. I think he'd be a good fit in the B10, a culture fit in a place like Lincoln, and he's drama free.

Kiffen - I like the guy but I think he'll have way better options than NU and will be looking to jump as soon as he has the opportunity. That and he's got a good job now.

O'Brien and Malzahn - not great, not bad.

Urban Meyer - this is not a serious candidate, for NU or any other P5. No major university hires this guy with his track record. He leaves a path of destruction and PR issues wherever he goes. It's a cool message board idea to think that a school would hire him based on his ability to win, but for a major hire at a University there is much more scrutiny than that.

 

[doublewing]

Bert Bielema

Not a bad choice, especially for a B10 program. If he we somehow ended up with him I wouldn't be disappointed. He's good at all of the fundamental things NU does poorly under Frost.

He’s about as good as we can do. Most of the names itt are pipe dreams

You could get Campbell, Doeren, or maybe B.Ob I think. We have plenty of money to blow now. I would also take Bert.

 

[Driveway Jordan]

Dave Doeren of NC State would be a good option if we strike out on Aranda, #2ndChoice, etc.

If we dip into the coordinator pool: Jim Leonard.
