What? He couldn't wait 2 weeks to save 7.5 million?Quote:

Poor business decisions... Amazing the # of inept front offices in professional sports that are plagued by these (Detroit Lions, Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Browns, NY Knicks, etc).Quote:

To be honest... I think Frost recruited well and rebuilt the team. A good coach (I think they throw all the money at Kleiman) has them a top 15 team. Frost was 5-22 in 1 score games. Flip script and Nebby has an amazing year last year. I feel coaching threw these two games away for them.
I actually like them to upset OU next week.
Frank Solich was 58-19 at Nebraska.
They should have went the mid major route like Kansas State. They have a very good replacement for Snyder.
If they are smart, which judging by their coaching choices they are not, they call Dan and make him say no.Quote:

They need a relentless recruiter to have a prayer at relevancy and I think it's pretty clearly established at this point that Dan's not that guy.Quote:

Mark Stoops will use it to get another raise. I think Freeze at least gets an interview.
Stoops figured out how to play the game. I think Freeze winds up at Auburn. He might get a sit down but I doubt it. Depending on how bad ND slumps in year one with this guy I wouldn't be surprised if ND goes after Urban with relentless abandon.Quote:

Saban to Lincoln, NB.
There is no way they shouldn?t hire Mullen right now.
But they do have Bushwood Country Club ** .... actually that was filmed in Ft Lauderdale but don't tell MeganQuote:

Urban would rather go to Texas A$M or Auburn. Nebraska needs to realize they will never win a national title ever again and be ok with Dan Mullen taking them to 8-4 possibly 9-3.Quote:

Personally , I think there are going to be so many positions open in college football within the next year or 2
Texas A&M Top Candidate: Lane Kiffin
Auburn Top Candidate : Hugh Freeze
Notre Dame Top Candidate : Luke Fickell
Penn State: Top Candidate : NO idea
Everyone is so quick to fire coaches these days I just hope that Leach has a great season this year so it doesn't give us any ideas.....
I think Urban winds up at ND. And I don't think Bjork has the stones to fire Jimbo. They'll give him one more year of incompetence.Quote:

He could be 1-5 after the Alabama game very easily.
Jimbo's a snake oil salesman. Bjork is a slime ball. Max Johnson will probably start vs Miami. Either way I look for the portal to be ripe w/ A&M transfers come December.Quote:

They might need to go a power 5 coordinator route. Maybe they could look at Fickell but Cincy is going to be power 5 now and pulling him away from his home state might be hard. Kleiman might be an option, but I feel like their fans would not be thrilled with him even though he has been solid at KState
They have got to do what arky did. Find someone that fits your school like a glove that forced your team to play mean and nasty and will bring in good to great coordinators and build your program. They have the talent to do what arky does.
What about Bert Belima?Quote:

I think Nebraska keeps trying to land a big fish for a big fish sake and that?s just not going to work.
I heard someone say yesterday that he should try to steal Kendall Briles from Arkansas to be his OC and said that is basically what saban did but jimbo is the offensive guy.... that is his offense that they are running. If the offense isn't working they are just going to have to find a new Head Coach.Quote:

I am a first time poster. I have trolled this board for two years just because I have been a fan of Mike Leach since he was OC at Oklahoma. I have enjoyed watching all of you go through all the phases of being a Mike Leach follower. IT has been fun. I will start posting here now that I have introduced myself. In sticking with this topic though...I live in Nebraska and I arrived shortly before the Husker dynasty started in the 90s. I watched the players impregnate half the girls in Lincoln (I am only slightly kidding), and I have watched the Huskers tread water for the last 20 years. I can tell you right now Nebraska's problem isn't just coaching--It is a lot of things but I am going to call it like I see it as I have boots on the ground in Lincoln and all around. Nebraska is stuck in the past (that is what we do around here) and wants the glory days back. IMO after rooming with, hanging out with, and being a part of this football culture, it is very obvious what Nebraska needs. If you read the local papers down here you would think that Nebraska is the most talented team in the B1G and SF screwed it up. I see good players, not great ones. MSU would dog stomp nebraska into oblivion because there is a lack of talent. Nebraska just needs an identity and the donors think that is option football. The players think that is doing what everyone else is doing. It is a fine line. I have given you all this information without much context and I could elaborate--However, IMO again I will leave it at this-Nebraska culture is what it is and needs a forcible change all at once.-I think for many reasons, it is time for Nebraska to think outside of the box and hire someone that is charismatic, the opposite of what they want and exactly what they need. There is not a hotbed of recruiting even close, everyone hates the winters, and option football is not sexy to todays players. Nebraska has to go all in on the option in some form--OR they need to hire the most off the wall person to get the job done. Here are my top 3 choices.... Jeff Monken, JAmie Chadwell, and--dont take this as being racist...Nebraska needs to hire their first coach of color--and no I am not WOKE. I know it sounds crazy but I am thinking Deion Sanders would be a perfect fit. I say that with all due respect and as a person of color living in this state. going back to something I said earlier... Most of those players from the 90s have kids playing football in HS in this state and dont even send their super athletic kids to Nebraska because the huskers expect local talent to walk on, leaving scholarships for out of state talent. It's a crazy deal. These ex players that I generally see on a weekly basis would absolutely send their kids to play for Sanders--Even if he bombed out the cupboard would not be bare--They should probably hire me as a member of the search committee. You are welcome Nebraska. Sorry for this inarticulate rant but I had some things to get off my chest.
