The absolute best case scenario. Either should exceed every expectation, unless your expectation is a WR coach.
If you had $100 to put down on who the new HC will be..
- Thread starter Bugeater
- Start date
I wonder how he knows this. I assume secrecy is paramount. Nothing really to gain by Trev leaking info that I can think of.
I don't see any reason for him to move. He's in a pretty good situation and he's making good money. He's close to a lot of good players.
People can relax. It's not going to be Mickey. He would fit nicely on Leipolds staff because he can recruit and he understands option football.
Kansas should promote the offensive coordinator. This way they can keep wages low for the football staff which do you like to do, and maintain some stability in their program
Yeah, ideally. He's pretty creative with it, but I assume it's LLs playbook.
Can Leipold build a quality defense is the biggest question about him..
Defense can’t be like we have had under SF and MR the past 8 years if we want to be serious of winning anything important ..

Because it would be best for Nebraska of course.
If it's Rhule, BOB, Urban, Peterson or the like, Trev might be waiting for us to officially be bowl ineligible to make the announcement and ensure minimal controversy. So could be early next week.
Rhule could be considered a program builder too.
I think it will be a bland pick who can’t recruit but was a good head coach in the past and seems safe.
Interesting view. If we don’t hear anything shortly after we’ve been knocked out of bowl contention, I would have to think that someone who’s currently coaching another team was selected and the announcement will come after season’s end.
My $100 would be on Craig Bohl.
For those who say Leipold or Klieman would be home run hires, why is the Nebraska job they only one they are mentioned as candidates. Home run hires are guys that would be considered for any and all of the top jobs. Klieman and Leipold aren't listed as candidates for Auburn, Leipold was mentioned early on at Wisconsin but not much anymore.
because Auburn thinks they should be Alabama, and they will continue to cycle through coaches until they accept they're doomed to be the little brother of the state.
per their fans, their home run hires are guys like Deion, Kiffin, and Freeze. I'd put Freeze in the category of home run for Nebraska as well, but I don't see that happening unfortunately.
If Kiffin were to come to Nebraska and turn around this shitshow, he'd bolt for Alabama the day Saban retired. Deion is a totally unknown commodity that could be phenomenal, but could also be Turner Gill 2.0. And given how important he's stated that helping the black community is to him, I don't envision him coming to a state that is 90% white. Auburn is perfectly content to take that risk, fire him in two years, and roll the dice again.
I think most Nebraska fans would agree that we'd just like to see success similar to that of Michigan/Wisconsin/Penn State; win most of your games, beat a couple ranked teams, always be in the conversation for the B1G CCG, maybe even a dark horse CFB playoff contender every 5 years. Leipold and Klieman seem capable of that, and realistic as a long-term fit.
Auburn fired the only active coach with 3 wins over Nick Saban, so its silly to compare their expectations to ours when we have a much more reasonable understanding of the CFB landscape.
it's true, your wife's boyfriend told me the same
I hope your right. Id take Stoops or Rhule also. Just hope its someone qualified and not another experiment (MJ)
Nebraska should pay all the fans at least a 1000 dollars if they hire a mediocre WR coach as head coach.
What a let down that would be if the best Trev could swing was a Wr coach.
I thought Frost was a home run hire. I was dead wrong. I won’t be using that moniker anymore and although I like LL, he could easily be a miserable failure. Any of them could. This will be a massive challenge which is why handing someone a giant contract, makes me a bit skeptical. People seem to work harder when they have to earn their keep rather than being handed something
Not saying your wrong but the chances of Kentucky winning the SEC and or going to the playoffs are pretty slim in that conference
I think whoever it is will flip this roster in a year or so and run off a bunch of players who have failed to produce while they are here.
It seems like he doesn’t like being an after thought to basketball either.
You need to be taken behind the woodshed ol yeller style
These two are so goddamn boring
each have hit their ceilings
imagine thinking either is dynamic enough to lead us to the playoffs? Two old guys who can say what it was like to win in D3/D2 a decade ago.
All the best kids will be begging to play for a wisc whitewater legend! Or an ndsu coattail riding legend!
would have to have suffered serious repeated head trauma to even consider that
