My .02 Offensive Coordinator list

[antirowboat]

Jeff Grimes - Baylor

Joe Moorehead at Oregon - Big Ten experience.

Tom Manning at Iowa State - I style of offense he runs is a great fit for the Big Ten.

Warren Ruggiero at Wake Forest

Brent Davis at Army

Kendal Briles at Arkansas

Rich Rodriquez at Lousaina Monroe

Andy Ludwig at Utah

We would need to pay more than $1 million a year to get any of those guys but any of those guys would be massive upgrades. If I could handpick two names out of that list, I'd take Jeff Grimes and Tom Manning, with a slight lean towards Tom Manning.

If you get Tom Manning, you get the guy behind that Iowa State program that has allowed that program to turn the corner.

Why would Manning leave ISU for Nebraska? He's been with Campbell and helped him build the Clone program. At this point Iowa State is a better program with a chance to continue being upper tier in Big 12. Going to Nebraska is a no win game this next year. One and done. Failure could affect the rest of his career.

More money, and he left Iowa State once already. If he turns around the Nebraska offense, he sets himself up for a head coaching job or NFL job. He is only 38 years old so this is a good time to get more experience and push for a head coaching career if he wants that.

Would have to offer around $1.5M per year to get him though.

This was just a matter of time.

Plus the Big 12 will be a wasteland once OU and Texas leave.

Coaches that have proven they have what it takes will always be in demand somewhere.

I'm more interested and concerned to see who comes in to coach the line.

Raiola?

That isn’t happening for the 2022 season. Probably won’t happen before the 2023 season. That gives Campbell at least 2 off seasons to be picked off by an elite program.

Just saying OU and Texas leaving is only relevant if Campbell has told Manning he is staying in Ames forever. Otherwise, many othe opportunities will present themselves before OU and Texas leave the league.

 

[30BringsTheHurt]

Nobody worth a damn is making a lateral move to Nebraska to work for Frost. Let's stop kidding ourselves.

I agree. Moving with Campbell to his next job (which would be a major step up) and at the same time being considered to be the next head coach at Iowa State, or even staying with Campbell at Iowa State and trying for some head coaching positions in the MAC, etc. would be a better option than coming to NU under these circumstances.

Finally Trev can get some sleep

 

[Dean Pope]

I'm interested in how they are going to coach the line. Enough of this finesse crap and the stupidity of using these empty backfield let's block with only five play designs.

 

[NorthWillRiseAgain]

Let’s send planes to them and see if any get on.

 

[antirowboat]

Some of you guys give up too easily. One of these guys can be gettable for the right price tag.

 

[jflores]

Trev has said Frost has a plan and he's on board with it. Frost has said there isn't going to be massive change to the offense.

The most likely scenario seems to me is we aren't installing someone else's offense for them to run as they please.

I know some people were thick when Frost said years ago he wasn't installing TOs playbook, andsome fans thought there was a chance even though Scott announced the FB position dead at NU. but sometimes words mean things.

 

[LagunaHusker]

Nobody worth a damn is making a lateral move to Nebraska to work for Frost. Let's stop kidding ourselves.

That's what I'm saying. Most likely some guy coaching sub-level somewhere that is willing to roll the dice with Nebraska for some exposure and payday.

You mean we're not getting Zac Taylor or Jon Gruden?

I doubt Trev will let Frost hire whoever the hell he wants. If Frost hires someone that just runs what he already runs, then Frost will be on the unemployment line by October 2nd of 2022. If they are smart, they will hire a person that can run an offense independently and be successful at doing it.

Smart hire and be employed at Nebraska in 2023 or unemployment line.

We will try and pick some guys from a program where the head coach has been fired. TCU, LSU, USC, etc. I doubt it works however. Frost is such a db I’m not sure anybody will work for him.

 

[MikeRileyGBR]

Why not get a walk-on to run the offense

 

[headcard]

Moorhead is the biggest pipe dream on that list, IMO. Oregon is a very good program with a ton of resources and he’s already making good money.

Grimes would be probably be my choice off of those (or anyone), but that seems unrealistic too. Me could follow Aranada to a better job or could even be in line for a HC himself, same with Manning.

The others are probably all attainable, but more of a roll of the dice. I would add a couple guys currently analysts like Tom Herman (wishful) and Kirk Ciarroca (attainable).

They are good coaches and are good fits dumb ****.

 

[yunginsNU2]

Your problem is you state your opinion as fact.. like saying we would need to offer at least 1.5 mil to get him... you clearly have know idea if thats true but you dont care... just like you think you know the ins and outs of TA and Frost talks or who won??? Untill you change your mind again... you are like an anchor for CNN on here and no matter how much you pump your "im in the know" garbage the more you prove me right...
Im pretty sure we all know who is the dumb ****
This is why you are so disliked by so many on here.. tool

They are all highly paid OC's dumb ****. That is why you would need to pay over a milion dollars to get one of them. If you want to try and talk smack, turn the brain cells on first.

My problem isnt with the highly paid OCs or the fact that they would be good fits.... its YOU and now your on ignore like so many others already have done to you.. i guarantee you wouldnt have the balls to talk to me in person like you do behind a keyboard!

Damn dudes seriously that triggered about another guys opinion? Seriously what are we doing here?

....ahhh so there's history. I got ya. Man I know it's hard. I struggle with it sometimes as well. We all have strong opinions and many times they differ. But it's when it becomes personal that I cringe. I hope u guys can discuss it without it being personal.

Anyways have a good day brother.

Appreciate your list, but Davis and Rich Rod are probably the only two that you would get bites from and possibly hire.

Manning and Ruggs are attached at the hip to their HC's as both of their HCs are in line for bigger jobs soon, neither of them making a lateral move to work for Frost for a year.

Ludwig Utah again he loves Utah (just like their HC) and wont leave, this is his 2nd stint there and he is from Utah. He is also one of the highest paid coordinators in the Pac already.

Grimes is at Baylor and with Aranda, Aranda is a rising star after this year, so Grimes will stay and get paid, or he will go with Aranda in a year or two to a bigger job, or take a HC job somewhere in a few years. A one year kamikaze mission to NU is not somthing that would appeal to him.

Moorehead, again, Oregon is a good program and their coach is on the rise and they are..I dont see what the appeal would be.

I think some of you are getting the OC Job during normal times at NU confused, with the OC job at NU in this specific situation.

The OC job at NU during normal times is a pretty good job where lots of people would be interested.

The OC job at NU during these specific circumstances..is not really as appealing as you think especially to anyone thinking of making a lateral move.

 

[SkerInCo]

Our new OC will be a position coach promotion that no one on this board mentions. Take it to the bank.

He is one of those weirdos. It's like some fans don't want Frost to hire a good coordinator.

Really don’t think so.

 

[barney44]

I'm not so sure he will considering the circumstances. I'm not saying he can't or won't but I'd have to assume the likelihood is low.

 

[jsachisler]

Why is going to Nebraska a no win game is in game?
