Not when you win at the pace of Bama.What are they paying all these guys? Is there any limit on salaries?

Not in America!
This is a no brainer, still getting paid from the NFL and now takes an easy gig with no real stress.
Seriously does the ncaa set a salary cap?
It’s easy to forget he was moderately successful at Syracuse as head coach. Perhaps he can work his way back up to a power 5 head coach in a year or two.
Meanwhile, Nebraska still has crazy Mario and the recent bank teller running the little boy program.
Like Scott learned to play QB under Walsh or was Mario his qb coach at Stanford?Mario Verduczo is a brilliant coach who learned under Bill Walsh. Nebraska is lucky to have him.

So true. It's all about career path with luck and good connections sprinkled in. Give some of these really good high school coaches their resources and let them work full time on their craft, and we would soon find out that there is nothing special about 80% of coaches in the college and pro ranks.These guys are HS football coaches with a crazy salary...

Join Uncle Nick at Alabama. The stench of past failures will fade quickly and soon you will be the next great hire!
Mario's biggest failure is his belief that he can turn poor passers with weak arms into accurate, top of the line QBs. It rarely ever happens. And Scott Frost believes him.Was this at Gavilan College, or De Anza College, or Northern Iowa, or Missouri STATE?

I think you're giving college coaches way too much credit. I'm not saying that all of the "really good" high school coaches (top 5% in my mind) would be as successful as Lombardi, Wooden, Urban Meyer or even a Bill Snyder, but they would easily do as well as a lot of these journeymen college and pro coaches who are only at that level because they started at that level.I disagree. The bottom 25% in college though...YES!!
over the years there were little moments where you could get a sense of the guy and his coaching style, and I don't doubt he is intelligent and logical in what he teaches, but there was something that rubbed me the wrong way a few years back, in that what he was teaching seemed so 'book smart' that it took the athlete part out of the equation, and I thought what he was saying at the time actually hurt the QB from just going out there and making a play. I wish I could remember the exact situation, but I do remember at the time, I felt we didn't want to crush a player's ability to just go make a play, make something happen, and what he was saying at the time, really irked me. I remember it was the spring game with Gebbia and he had to ad lib something, and got crushed by the coach for it, and the explanation was more text book ideal world situation and I didn't like him coming down on the kid for trying to make a play when the play didn't work as was drawn up.Mario Verduczo is a brilliant coach who learned under Bill Walsh.

anyway, I don't know if the guy is a good coach or not.. I'm not sure we have seen a whole lot of development at the QB position, but is it the coach or the player?
And doesn't develop quarterbacksNebraska fans don’t like Mario because he wears cool glasses and smokes cigars.
