he fits the up and coming guy that is at the wrong school in the wrong conference, that's all
Meyer is a pipe dream because Nebraska is an irrelevant joke. People need to stop looking at NU football from within the fan bubble and see us from the outside as others see us. We are a total after thought. A has been. Our “brand” is dead. Urban Meyer is not coming here.
there are objective measures that say otherwise with regards to our brand
So the 155 million spent on facilities is an after thought? Right now we have many fans who know very little about the in's and out's of the inner workings of program myself included. We really don't know squat about what will happen next but if you believe those in charge of Nebraska's future are settling to become a forever after thought I don't think so.
Everyone has $155 million facilities today. Everyone is on TV. Everyone is flush with cash from TV deals. What we need is a coach who is a proven winner at a previously shit school. Because right now, whether we want to admit it or not, we are a shit program. Take off the red colored glasses. I am not here to trash NU football. I have been a rabid fan since 1965 At age 7. Was in Norman in 71 for the game of the century. Miami in 94. You get the picture. I am here trying to knock some reality into people. NU football as we all knew it is dead. We need to get realistic about who our next coach will be. And it isn’t going to be Urban ****ing Meyer
Chadwell is a successful G5 coach. Didn't we hire a successful G5 coach if I remember right? Perhaps not all G5 coaches are cut out to be Power 5 coaches.
True, but then Chadwell doesn't have the baggage / history with the program that Frost has either
There is nothing to respond to. You have offered nothing by way of argument. You just assert that it is going to be Meyer without evidence. And then you accuse me of not being rational. Ha. What a joke. I am not angry or expressing anger. Just being forceful in my argument that folks like you are living on fantasy island. And forceful in my argument that Nebraska football is a pale, pale shadow of its former self.Urban Meyer the next hire. You watch it will be a 3-5 year deal with options. Unless by a miracle Frost becomes Meyer or Saban overnight which is an impossibility. No need to add your anger Pennsyhusker just a solid rational reply will do. Thank you in advance
Osborne needed to step aside and let the AD's and coaches do their job when he retired. Bill Byrne likely would have found a good replacement for Osborne and we wouldn't have all the baggage that we have now.
In case it escaped your notice, we have a habit of firing coaches who only win 9 games a year.
Meyer is a type A personality. The money is probably not even important to him. He is all about excellence and winning. Gotta put up with some sleaze here and there, but that guy is not going to be happy sitting around on his ass doing whatever, and I don't think it's his style to go out as a loser either. He needs to redeem himself.
That is a good analysis I think. My gut says the same and that someday he may return to coaching. But for now he seems perfectly content with his TV gig and there are no rumors out there of any kind that right now he is considering a return to coaching. All this speculation on here about how all we need to do is open the bottomless checkbook and he will come here is just groundless wishing. And even if he does want to coach again, there will be more jobs open than just Nebraska. He will have his pick of the litter.
Clueless. He is a coach, a winning coach, a competitive coach, winning is everything.
He coaches at Iowa State while regularly beating Oklahoma and Texas. He's practically a miracle worker
He has bad postureWhat to people think of Mullen? I think he still is a good coach. You just need someone as DC or OC who is in charge of recruiting.
I can't read TA's mind, so I don't know. For me it would be at least 7 wins.
I have offered nothing in argument that you agree with, lets be honest about that. As I've stated, none of us and I mean none of us really know what will transpire this season on and off the field. I have to admit I use Urban Meyer as my number one option but it doesn't mean he will absolutely be hired by Trev Alberts I know that. I said the next HC at Nebraska will be Meyer, but really none of us have a clue as to who it will be not you not me not anyone. I stand by my statement Meyer as the next head coach at least it's who I see, not sure who favor.
It's not a matter of outbidding other teams. Like you said, he's got plenty of money. If he wants to coach next year, it will be the school that determines his choice. Right now, all the glamour jobs looked to be locked up for at least two or three years or more. So, what job would be more attractive to him than NU if he wants to get back into coaching next year?
I’m actually warming up to U. Meyer but Nebraska better hire a dedicated handler to make certain he goes home every night.
As long as he puts 100% effort into making recruiting the number one priority, I don't care what he does. We can't accept this.
I am disputing the stats. He has 3 National Championships.
I chuckle every time I read that we can blame Osborne for not allowing the AD to do a real search for a big name coach in 1997. I laugh because it is all hindsight thinking. IN 1997 NU was in the midst of the greatest run in the history of college football. Our program was hitting on all cylinders and a great deal of our success had to do with the unique genius of Osborne's unique offense. Nebraska WAS Osborne's offense. Yes, yes, we had a great defense. But that is because we had great athletes and McBride dialed up a blitzing attack defense on the shoulders of a great d-line and corners who could cover in man to man. Therefore, the real uniqueness of Nebraska was that offense. It was our identity and our brand.
