***Official 2023 Head Coaching Hot Board***

Lots of great coaches come through non-P5 places, but for the moment Nebraska is at with the potential advantage NIL offers in crootin, it seems imperative to me to hire a guy who has spent at least some time recruiting in P5 college football, preferably at a place that is good at it
I agree. My point is out of any lower tier conference the Mac actually produces a fair amount of legit coaches who go to power 5 programs and actually have success. The more I think about it my top logical choice is Bill O’Brien.
 
The skinny on Monken is hiring him signals that you've accepted your ceiling. That's why he's not getting P5 jobs. He may be a great coach, but you're going to seriously impact recruiting and have immediate roster drain. Don't want.

I’d love if Kiffin came here, but I don’t think that’s going to happen as long as TO is around the program. He supposedly has baggage that’ll hurt his chances at most jobs. Recruits and plays fun as hell football. Don't know how much more you could ask for

Otherwise, I think ideally Nebraska really needs a true CEO guy. Give me a Shane Beamer or Mel Tucker kind of guy that's just going to manage the organization and empower smart people to do their jobs. We've been burned a few too many times by the guy who thinks he's the smartest dude in the room and then gets pantsed.
 
No. But have seen his teams play and been in clinics when he spoke. He's top notch. OL's he's coached are always in the top portion of the country in rushing.
I remember him coaching against UNK when Woodhead was there . They had the game on tv and my buddy knocked Woodhead out in the first half which pissed me off because I wanted to see Woodhead do his thing. Anyways unk is kicking their ass at halftime. They do an interview with O’Boyle he basically says he isn’t worried and things will work out in our favor the second half. Chadron won. You could also tell his players loved him when they brought the game ball to his house after he was suspended.

I don't think that would be the case. He wouldn't run the flexbone, and I'd think that would be one of the first things he'd say to prevent that.

I think it's likely you have a situation like when Arizona almost hired Niumatalolo, and they got bullied into slamming on the brakes by their QB. Same talk on changing the offense, but you're going to have an immediate adverse signaling effect to overcome. Like you'd have a hail mary to retain a guy like Malachi Coleman. Sure, maybe with time you overcome that perception, but it's an uphill battle. Reason why he didn't get the job at bottom feeders like KU and Illinois.
 
Bill. He actually won at CSC. I don’t know if Frost could. CSC hasn’t found the success they did under Bill since. Team would come in riding Harley’s and take no shit. Brad Smith canned Bill for the same stuff he was doing at CSC when he was coaching there. Bill is a Chadron legend and has worked his way up the ranks.
Gun to your head: Frost comes back in 2023 or Bill O'Boyle head man

Pick one
 
I have heard people worry that a guy like Rhule would move on at some point. It would be fucking amazing if we could have a coach be successful enough to leave of his own accord to take another job.

Mike Riley at the New Jersey Generals is arguably the best job any former NU head coach has been able to nab this century.
And that’s just head coaches. It feels like an overwhelming majority of assistants we’ve had over the years have not helped their resumes at all by coming here. There is no way it’s this bad at other places. If we didn’t have bad luck we’d have no luck at all.

I genuinely think we have to hire a Urban Meyer type name or our program is dead.

I’d be content with Aranda or whittingham as they both have name recognition at this point and play tough.

But at the end of the day if we ever want to be a contender for anything we need Urban. Offer him 12.5 mill for 5 years guaranteed. Get us back on track. Put some respect back on our name and our program.
