Lance Leipold

- Start date
He was a winner at D3 and in the MAC to a lesser degree
... so if he was a completely different person? what a weird post.
I'm not disagreeing with you.
I believe LL didn't recruit their QB (Les Miles did) but he's not exactly some unicorn, and there'd be plenty of QB's that caliber that would come to Nebraska.
Why do have to settle for a coach who's about to go 6-6? KU can keep him.
And people wonder why Trev didn’t fire Frost last fall on a shorter time frame? The KU collapse is making hiring him more difficult IMO. I have to believe things are still very fluid
He’s virtually identical to Matt Rhule after Rhule’s second season in Baylor. Difference being he’s doing it with less talent and he’s not a fat slob
Very, VERY important point people. How many of our candidates are fat slobs? They must immediately be taken off the list!
only Rhule, as it happens. show me a fat guy in their 40's that won a national championship. you can't, because people who can't control/take care of themselves have difficulty being leaders of men. there are outliers like Bret Bielema but they're rare.
tell me with a straight face this looks like a confident leader of men:
Are you serious?! “And people wonder why Trev didn’t fire Frost last fall on a shorter time frame.” Four years is a short time frame?!
It was Trev Alberts that has caused all this drama. Anybody who knows anything about football knew that Frost was a fraud after year three. After year four, there was no doubt that the fraud or drunk, (choose your adjective), should be fired! Trev didn’t do his job and that is why we are here. Fvck the boosters! Do your damn job!
I want a REAL football coach as the head man and I have no faith that Trev Alberts is the man to make the correct decision.
If Trev makes a home run hire, I will gladly eat humble pie and everybody here can dump on me.
Putting myself on the line here... and Rhule isn't even my guy! If MR is the pick, you can't tell me you'd judge a coach based on his waistline? I mean their are exceptions... Weiss and Mangino.only Rhule, as it happens. show me a fat guy in their 40's that won a national championship. you can't, because people who can't control/take care of themselves have difficulty being leaders of men. there are outliers like Bret Bielema but they're rare.

If im a top flight athlete and mangino sits on my couch and breaks it with his camel toe... am I coming?! ****, no.
Haha. Rhule isn't exactly a fat slob; he's "wide-boned" (but for sure he's overweight).
He is, LL gets it, the only question I have is could he recruit to NE, playing some games in CA should help recruiting the west coast.
I'm tired and this is a really stupid conversation to have. Maybe we should be worried about how much they drink and party instead, eh? How about hot tub times? Golf times? Terrible country music choices? Seems the last guy here who was in pretty good shape liked those things and he failed miserably. Maybe those things should be high on Trev's reason for DO NOT HIRE list.
Pretty stupid.
Scott Frost was straight-up jacked! Andy Reid is a pig! Therefore, Scott Frost > Andy Reid.
Reid gets a pass cuz he’s old and probably has 5 years left max
Andy's been "big" his entire life.
Whitewater has zero titles before LL and zero since, despite being historically good.
Nebraska would make it to a potential NC game and choke in the late 70s- mid 80s. Then for the next 7-8 years they got ass blasted by FSU and Miami.
Tommie Frazier changed everything.
Rhule did far more at Baylor toward the end of his time there than leipold has done. I wouldn’t have wanted Rhule after 7-6 at Baylor. If Leipold wins 11 games next year sure, hire him I think I would feel better. He’s not there now, I don’t want him now. Not complicated.
Dude - 9-4 sounds amazing right now - we are the worst D1 P5 program in the country.
That’s a interesting theory. So do you take medical or recreational weed?only Rhule, as it happens. show me a fat guy in their 40's that won a national championship. you can't, because people who can't control/take care of themselves have difficulty being leaders of men. there are outliers like Bret Bielema but they're rare.

LL is a proven winner, maybe “average” winner; but a winner nonetheless. We need to win again. I would be okay with this hire..
I listened to his press conference after the big Texas loss the other day and I liked what I saw - a passionate rationale guy with energy who was very disappointed but put it all on himself. I think he has what we are looking for in personality and commitment. Let's face it we are not going to get five star Rivals players here unless it is Urban. We need coaches who can do more with less. I think he his the one..
They're not the same coaches at all. I still think Nebraska should be setting it's sights much higher.
We're not going to have a job opening a year from now. Think! We're not dealing in hypotheticals
Some encouragement for LL in this thread as next coach
What we’ve learned - top 5 in no particular order
1) He’s not fat.
2) he’s an average “winner”… not sure what that means but you put the word winner in there so maybe it’s good? 🤷♂️… thinking it means he’s average at FBS (45-47 record) but DIII he’s a dam winner!!! And 3 is more than 1, so that’s gotta be good right?
3) he can take a loss well.
4) he acknowledges he’s to blame for blow outs (not sure how that’s good if he was the cause of the blow out but at least he acknowledges it)
5) Lance can’t recruit but we can’t recruit 5-stars anyways so let’s not recruit 4-stars either. 5.5 3-stars or below only. Let’s keep expectations low please. Let’s only recruit players who don’t have high expectations so that way they don’t get emotional after we lose. That way they “know who they are already and don’t have some crazy notion in thinking their special”

I like Aranda and he had a great year last year but is 6-5 this year. He hasn’t been HC many years and it remains to be seen if he can maintain long-term success by identifying, recruiting, and developing talent once Rhule’s guys are gone from his roster.
Rhule has twice shown that he can recruit and develop a winning roster. Two 10-win seasons at Temple and an 11-win season at Baylor after the massive scandal aren’t a fluke. He had a number of NFL offers because people recognized his abilities.
Looks like Bill Belichik to me…..only Rhule, as it happens. show me a fat guy in their 40's that won a national championship. you can't, because people who can't control/take care of themselves have difficulty being leaders of men. there are outliers like Bret Bielema but they're rare.

For a second I thought that was Barney C, but he isn’t wearing a t-shirt with holes in itonly Rhule, as it happens. show me a fat guy in their 40's that won a national championship. you can't, because people who can't control/take care of themselves have difficulty being leaders of men. there are outliers like Bret Bielema but they're rare.

Extremely disappointed. Means he struck out at levels that mattered, e.g MR and ignored the in house potential, MJ... Will lead to Trev being fired in 3-4 years.
Bottom line is all of us and I mean all of us who are not part of the hiring process have no idea who the next HC will be. What I take from posters when they say this man will or will not be the head coach really have no idea, it's all about preference. I wish people would just say this is the coach I want or don't want, to say this coach won't or will be the next head man is pure speculation by all of us.
