Rivals predicting Bill O'Brien to Nebraska
- Thread starter headcard
- Start date
As a fan of this team and BOBs former team I can say that I'm conflicted on if I want him to be the coach here. I'll give him credit, he won some games with out a lot of talent under center and when DW4 came along he changed his offense around to more fit his strengths. UT the bone headed moments and game management were infuriating. Also, up till I believe his last season he controlled the offense. Which was a big problem that I had with SF.
I don't want to go crazy here, but I doubt I will ever watch another Husker football game again if BOB takes over the program. I don't need to go through another period with a coach with boorish behavior. It won't work. Just call Bo back if you want that type of coach. I am not sure if SF even does get fired at the end of the season, but if he does I would rather go after someone like Kalen DeBoer. (Isn't he from next door in SD?)
If Miller had not gotten injured we would have lost that game.
Miami already had a great coach in Mark Richt. They ran him out for going 26-13 with an Orange bowl trip for Manny Diaz who is a .500 coach.
Some of you guys are weirdos. Stop being worried if a coach swears or gets mad.
If the next coach wins, nobody will care if he swears or has a temper. As long as he doesn’t break the law or get caught cheating.
And even if he cheats a little, and it’s not something major, people still won’t care. As long as he wins.

That's too bad. Most football coaches are known for their adroit, witty repartee immediately after losing a game.
Hmm. Bill O'Brien is someone we could hire BEFORE the end if the season. He is someone that could stave off the impending transfer exodus. He is someone that could improve the recruiting class.
Our recruiting class is heading towards being worse than a coaching change transition class and a historically bad NU class.
If Trev makes recruiting a metric in his contract and eschews the importance of recruiting at a school that is not near many recruits, I think he would be just fine.
Get your childish tantrums out of the way in regards to Bill O'Brien. It comes off like a child doing a hunger strike then asking for seconds come supper.

I'd take O'Brien in a heartbeat. And if it happens, I see no reason to drag out getting the ball rolling. In fact, Monday would be a good day to cut Frostie loose. Soon as a bowl is a mathematic impossibility...show him the door.
Yes. Yes. Yes. Don't set up even the remotest of possibilities that Frost beats Iowa and gets canned after. Do not want to repeat that shit. Fire him after a loss and a significant milestone — the guarantee of his fourth consecutive losing season, and the guarantee that his conference win total will have not improved in four years.
I think Frost & Nebraska's Athletic Department will have a statement come Sunday. After Saturday Nebraska will not have a chance to win 6 games or go bowling anymore. At this point why drag it out?
It's not good to fire a coach before the end of the season. BUT if Ohio State blows us out that may be enough IF we have Bill...I mean whomever we have lined up next and the dotted line signed.
Or we get blown out and the soonest our guy feels comfortable taking over.
There are benefits to hiring a coordinator. It is not nearly as frowned upon as a HC when leaving for another team before the season is over.
How soon can a coordinator quit and it not be considered a dick move? If their team loses and is out of the playoffs I'd say things get interesting.

I am confused here. I am all for firing Frost right after he loses to Ohio State and we are guaranteed another non-bowl and losing season. And I have no issue with immediately, or very soon thereafter, announcing who the next coach will be. That way he can start lobbying recruits and current players. But I hope you are not suggesting that the new coach come in and take over the head coaching duties immediately and to coach our last two games. I think that would be insane.
I dont think he is suggesting that. You'd have one of the current coaches fulfill HC duties for the last 2 games. I would probably promote Mario, and not Chin. Keep the coordinators focused on their respective units. Mario doesnt do anything anyways. Or hell, Ron Brown could do it for 2 games.
I thought that is what he meant but it was not clear. I agree with your suggestions. Keep the coordinators in place and make interim coach someone like Harry Potter's grandfather.
I think the biggest thing is to figure out who the coach is going to be if you are going to make a change to get them recruiting. The coaching on the field is what it is and the season is already lost, but maybe you can get a little momentum with the new staff and try to get some kids signed in a quick turnaround. The early signing period can really shorten things.
I am not suggesting that. I would probably fire Frost this Sunday, name Chinander the interim, hope for a Brian Cabral tenure (Cabral won his first two games after Dan Hawkins was fired at CU), announce the new coach before the Iowa game, let Chins fire up the troops to win this one for the coaching staff and to impress the new boss, and then beat the shit out of Iowa, salvage the recruiting class and win the off-season. The new coach would not coach at game at Nebraska until next August, when he beats the shit out of Northwestern.
agree with this timeline, although, I'd like to see the coach coach a game in April.
Fick was actually kind of put in a no win situation at OSU though. He was already on staff when the "tatgate stuff happened, and was pretty much the only option for an interim coach. As someone else already mentioned he went in knowing that OSU was looking for a replacement for Tressel. The worst kept secret around Columbus during the 2011 season was that OSU was going to hire Urban. Fick had to keep all of Tressel's old staff, and he went in to the season with his 5 best players suspended, and the star QB ( Pryor) gone, leaving only true freshman Braxton Miller and a guy I'm sure Husker fans remember fondly, Joe Bauserman. Fickell was one of Urban's first hires for the defensive staff when he took over. Fick has always stressed his love for OSU, and the school and fan base feel the same way about him.

BOB took over Ped State when they had lost 40 scholarships in 5 years when they could have received the death penalty, so, I don't think you can compare what he had to work with at Ped State, with what Frost had to work with. Even Riley recruited well, so Frost was not left with a bare cupboard, they just chose to leave via the transfer portal.
He made the playoffs with Osweiler and Hoyer because the AFC South was historically awful. The AFC was mocked relentlessly for several seasons for being hot garbage. This was also when the Texans defense was a top tier unit. They won in spite of Osweiler and Hoyer.
Guarantee if you go to texanstalk.com you'll find a lot of the similar responses.
Here's why BOB would never consider coming to Nebraska.

New Texans coach faces challenge of son's debilitating condition
The cause is a genetic mistake, a defective neuronal migration, during the fetus' early...
Sorry but what's the fetish with this "hometown" boy shit? HCSF took a great opportunity to coach a P5 team. He moved his family from NY/OR/FL to Lincoln, NE! I was born and "edacat'd" in Nebraska and the only ways to drag me back is a GOOD football team or a funeral or, maybe $5M@year...
The Houston Texans are a cult of personality of a person with no personality
The religious assistant who took over an NFL team from within and turned it into a laughing stock
Jack Easterby’s Rise to Power and the Chaos That Followed
The Texans collapse is a product of bad decisions, ownership, and a youth pastor
These are just a few examples. If you're really curious about it, google "houston texans are a religious organization" and there are tons of articles, columns and other opinions related to this.
They preach "culture, culture, culture" but it sounds super toxic. It's so bad that players on the team are happy when someone gets traded and gets out of there.

Because of his sons health issues?
