it will never happen, the lincoln head office is 100% commited to pass happyness and changeing coaches every 4 to 5 years.
ksu of the 80's is the standard for them.
you don't hire riley, frost and whipple in a row, unless your completely gay about passing.
do you think it was SF that hired Whip or TA?

I recall Frost making a big fuss about who he could trust to run it etc..

I don't know what TA wants to run offense wise.. some reporter should ask him or MJ about it.

What is the long term plan or identity for the offense at Nebraska?

seeing mj is a recivers coach, I'm guessing he's not going want his wr's run blocking...like wr's at NU used to do..when we averaged 500 yards on the ground per game..and won National Championships..
now the running backs pass block :/

it's everyone go out for a bomb now. 4 interceptions last game..yay

don't be silly.. that was Whips prior game plan.. now we don't have a QB to throw the ball. They are going to have to run it and MJ better put a boot up Whipple's rear end to figure out how to do that effectively from here on out.
 
Frosts offense was actually heavier run at UCF. IF we had better O lines I believe Frost would have loved to be a very run heavy team.
You’re crazy if you think Trev doesn’t highly value the run game.
yeah I haven't witnessed a run game since bo, and that was half assed.
 
me and the lincoln head office seem to have a lack of communication, and as a olive brach I feel I need to make crystal clear what I mean by run the ball....maybe I have not been clear enough..maybe it's my fault...

so I will post 3 videos, a trifecta if you will on what I mean by running the ball (compared to pass happy)

let there be no confusion





 
I think if not theHC coach, someone will hire Mickey and half this team and many recruits will go with him. A new guy from the outside it will take 3 years to rebuild. Give Mickey a year with his own staff, recruiting and the portal.
 
The guy you want doesn't exist. There are only 5 or 6 coaches capable of winning at the BCS level. Sub one in and out every year.

Klieman and Leipold don't undervalue recruiting. You simply can't do it at Kansas or Kansas State. The schools, programs, resources and stadiums have a ceiling. Because of that, they focus on the areas of their program they can influence.

TCU and Baylor are basically the same as KU and KSU with one huge exception. Proximity to talent. That's why Aranda is fools gold. He can dominate at LSU with a roster full of studs. On his own, he's just pretty good, not elite.

I guarantee our fans would be pretty satisfied winning most home games and 9 or 10 every year with consistency. But we are so far away from winning even 7 or 8 per year. Our foundation is in total disarray. We are arguably at our lowest point over the last 25 years. As is, I find no reasons to be hopeful for the future
Aranda has done good at Baylor. Baylor is in a talent rich area but most of that talent goes to Texas, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma. Schools like Baylor and TCU get the leftovers after Texas, Oklahoma, and Texas A&M get their pick.
 
Obviously they’re developing guys and putting them in a position to be successful.
Relatively successful. If the goal of Nebraska is to be an 8 to 10 win team at its best, then hire these coaches that have that ceiling. History has shown that that level of success is only acceptable temporarily. So my question is why would you hire a coach that has that ceiling if that isn’t the ultimate goal.

I’ve got news for you. The pipeline isn’t in Lincoln anymore. Boyd and his “vitamin shots” aren’t coming back. Rozier has to be nearing 60 and Lawrence Phillips is dead. Times have changed. I do wish we would go with more heavy sets and use a fullback at times

So you make it sound like a legit mutiny style melt down if Mickey doesn't get it. And mutiny style takes half the team with him??

IF that were Mickey's style I'd say fire him now. Fortunately he seems much more humble than your giving him credit for.

Because every available guy has a ceiling until he hits the lottery with a Joe Burrow.

The ultimate goal should regularly win the damn regular season again. Regularly. And grow from there.

I'm tired of people wanting to talk natties when we should relearn how to crawl before we can walk again - much less run.

You don't hire the guy that can only get you to win the damn regular season. If you want to eventually run, you don't hire the guy that is wearing leg braces. That guy will get you to walking, and he can already crawl, but he more than likely will never run. Then you end up firing him because he didn't reach the goal you actually wanted.

There is a different mentality between a coach like Meyer, Kiffin, Kelly and Saban than Kirk Ferentz or Pat Fitzgerald. The first four will do what they have to do to win national titles. They recruit to win titles, they coach to win titles, and they build to win titles, they don't coach, recruit or build to win a division.

Winning national titles starts with winning seasons and winning your division.

There is a difference between starting with winning seasons and divisions and that level being the ceiling.

This is the mentality of an underdog. The underdog never wins a national title, but they can win a division every once in a while and they can have winning seasons.

Again, the difference between Ferentz and Meyer. When Meyer was at Utah, he coached, recruited and built that program to win a national title. He wasn't satisfied with playing for MWC titles or winning Fiesta Bowl games against Pitt. Ferentz coaches, recruits and builds Iowa to win the west. If anything beyond that happens, it sugar on top and guess what, nothing beyond that has ever happened for him at Iowa.

Who is a coach (other than Meyer), you see as a viable candidate that has that mindset?

I am not interviewing them. I don't know who is interested in coming here. If I could pick a guy I would look for coaches that have actively applied for better jobs on the regular. Won, moved on, won again. Again a path similar to Meyer. Nebraska could/ should be a destination type job.

OBrien
Kiffin
Herman
Maybe Mullen. But guys that won't be satisfied with division titles.
 
Look at the fvcking retards on the board already claiming that our goal is Nattys and talking about ceilings for guys being 10 wins etc.
Look, no one gives a flying Fvk about Nattys anymore. Right now we need to just win out division most years. We aren’t getting ANY of the top 25 coaches.. they don’t want to come to a stupid ass state like Nebraska. Deal with it. It’s a fact. If it weren’t we’d have a coach already.
How about a guy who wins and coaches his players up, and we take it from there.
Every fvkin asshole is talking ceilings and expectations for every coach except Frost, but then it was… oh no, ginger Jesus just needs 9 years because Bo… or Riley… or whatever.
Just hire a guy… any freakin guy… and I’ll take it and see what happens
I don’t expect Jack shit from a school that fires guys that win 9 games but keeps the biggest loser in history into his 5th year

Losing appears to have adjusted your expectations. Not mine. Good luck to you and any freaking guy.

Tuco, you are correct. It's a mindset, it's who they are.
Their objective Day 1: WIN IT ALL.

True, I personally like Kiffin for that high ceiling potential (only one in your list that I think is realistically plausible).

However, I like Pelini. Many of us still wish we hadn't canned him - although for me it was more about his attitude problems than it was about losing in the few big time games we were in. I think many of us would gladly take a Klieman or someone like him who'd likely at least get us back to that standard (minus the shit attitude though ideal).

I'm not expecting Natty's. They aren't happening for a long time here, but it's ok to try and shoot your shot when you have all of the resources to do so.

Ferentz was close to winning the B1G in 2015.

No, my point was that we should want to compete at the highest level… but somehow when ginger fvcking Jesus was here all I heard was the fvcktards saying it was Riley’s fault or it takes 9 years or shit like that.
To the people defending Frost through thick and I thin I guess I just want to say Fvk you guys.
Also, I say I’ll take any guy because I guarantee you we won’t make the playoff with the next guy, whoever it is
Because the elite guys won’t come here

Ha, yeah, I guess I am upset. Because we have Frost way to much fvking leeway that we’d never give any other guy. Yes, I hope we shoot our shot to get the best… just don’t know if that person will be an elite guy

Don’t worry, I’ll calm down after the Frost hangover subsides and we hire a new coach

i am on the Klieman boat but I think it’s important to keep Mickey here. And I think Mickey will be here in 2023 in some regard. He just got a RB out of LA

We didn't give Frost shit. We are fans. At the end of the day people can have their opinions, but Trev makes the decision as have all of the shitty admins in the past. Hopefully he has a plan.

Some on here think if you support Mickey, it’s only a few and they must have multiple user names. I’m Newbie status now but I’ve been on here for awhile. My last username had my actual name in it and asked Rivals to delete it

I only have 1 username, and yes, I fully support Mickey getting the job. Not because of race or that he played QB, but because I think his age and passion for all things Huskers will drive him more than some of the other names

Don’t underestimate his ability to recruit. I also think he can get the assistants to win, and win for a long time
