I will start this by saying that I am an Iowa fan, but I think Nebraska should try to get him as your next head coach. He coaches the type of football that would be successful at Nebraska, he would want to stick it to Wisconsin and Iowa, and he can coach. Yes he hasn't done real well at Arkansas but we all know he can win in the Big Ten. As much as I like to see Nebraska struggle, the conference as a whole would be better if you're relevant.

Just because we essentially root for the same team now, oh how far we've fallen, doesn't mean we want advice yet. Please give us time to acclimate, you've had 50 plus years depending on how old you are and we've only had 1 day.
Please try again in a week or so.
BTW, the B1G west would benefit from Iowa being relevant as well, and in case you didn't know, Iowa is not relevant. On the bright side for my new found friends in Iowa, you can see by the huskers precipitous fall, anything is possible.

Don't worry about some bitter Nebraska fans - some still thought we were on the cusp of a championship as of yesterday at 11:00 am. Others of us realize exactly what we are and no matter what our history is, realize all that matters is now and now we suck.
I honestly think the Bielema would be a great candidate for Iowa if they could somehow look past the love affair they have for the Ferentz family. There was a rumor that our A.D. reached out to him during our last coaching search and was shut down, so not so sure he would have any interest – but I do agree he would be an awesome coach.
Wow a touchy group tonight. You could do much worse than Bielema. Look at his Big Ten record. Sorry for the post, I really wasn't trying to be a smart ass.
I personally was hoping the huskers were just on the cusp of a win at 11am yesterday and as I stated I'm not quite prepared at this time to take advice from Iowa fan, I'll get there, I just need a week. Please.
I would want him at Iowa as our next head coach. The guy can coach and he still loves the Hawkeyes. I would not want him at Nebraska...Not good for Iowa IMO!
Seriously, there are millions of beautiful women. BFDHis wife could help in recruiting and fundraising.
I'm getting a raise right now.His wife could help in recruiting and fundraising.
I can understand if you're all in on Mrs Bielema.... but, otherwise
He's an ass but decent to the media (from what I understand). A mixture of Peking and Riley. Perfect.
I just threw up in my mouth when I started to read this thread.
BTW, Iowa sucks.

Mike Leach - Most old school Husker fans would hate having an offense that passes and NEVER runs. We have the passing QBs, so certainly it wouldn't be a horrible transition. We would have to get used to sucking early in the season and losing to bad teams. Would be interesting for the guy that hing 70 on Nebraska to be their coach though!
David Cutcliff - He is already 63. We were told that 62 was already told old when Riley was hired.
Dana Holgorsen - His record is 48 - 32 as a head coach. That's "only" a 60% winning percentage, which is like 7 or 8 wins a season average. His offense could put up points, but would it work in the B1G?
Gus Malzahn - He could be available at the end of the season from the sound of some of the Auburn fans. His offense loves a running quarterback, so we would be right back to a transition period. Currently his offense isn't doing so hot. He had one great year and hasn't won 9 games since.
Bret Bielema - Was he great... or was it just Wisconsin, seeing how he hasn't done great at Arkansas and Wisconsin hasn't skipped a beat since he left. If he could get us to where he had Wisconsin, hell yes. His records at Wisconsin: 12-1, 9-4, 7-6, 10-3, 11-2, 11-3, 8-5, so a 74% winning pct. He is 26-27 at Arkansas, but he is in the SEC West. Husker fans would put up with a 7 win season if he could win 10 or more every 2 out of 3 years on average.
Yes, we need a good head coach... but we need better coordinators, especially on offense apparently. Maybe since we are now willing to pay coordinators a million dollars a year, we should go get a new offensive coordinator that knows how to put up 45 points a game.
Oklahoma State has gone through some good OCs: Holgorsen left for West Virginia and Todd Monken left for Southern Miss. Mike Yurcich is their current OC. He spent two seasons at Division II as offensive coordinator before OSU. Does Gundy have an offensive system that his coordinators must learn? Or do the coordinators run their offense? Who knows, but their offense has been putting up points for quite a few years now.
How about the top offenses in all of FBS? Maybe one of the OCs from a non-power 5 school would come fix our offense. Sometimes one of those guys really is good, other times... not so much.
Todd Fitch's offense (LATech) put up a lot of points per game last year, but that offense put up 37 pts/game the 2 years before he arrived.
Tony Franklin (Mid Tenn) has a history of putting up points, but he is already 60 now. He has had one or two bad years in the last 15 years. When his offense has talent, his teams put up points.
You would think we could find someone to take the job and put up 40 points a game, but maybe not. Riley probably should have changed OC when he changed DC, but I don't see him getting rid of Langsdorf because that is the offense that he himself likes to run. Too little, too late, unless there are major improvements the rest of the season (not likely).
After reading your board, You guys sure are some pessimistic fans when it comes to the Nebraska job...I think you undersell your program. Plenty of great coaches would sign up. Get an AD that expects nothing but the best and pony up the $$$$.
We got rid of your POS AD that hired hoke and didn't go for the best and you saw the results. I'm pretty sure NU won't put with mediocre results for very long. Also you can do way better than Bielema, dude is about to eat himself into a heart attack.
Good Luck #GOBIGRED
