That is one hell a question that our fan base is on sure of..
Hopefully one that wants to play physical football again.

Let me do this for 4.6.3. Frost, Frost, Frost, Frost, Frost, Frost, Frost....I'll leave the rest to your imagination. Frankly IF we can Riley, that's the only guy I want. He checks all the boxes as far as I can tell and he's a young energetic guy who isn't going to embarrass us.
Probably every single head coach not currently at a P5 program. Probably one-third to one-half of P5 head coaches. Probably every single FCS coach.
There are likely dozens of coordinators at P5 schools that would be interested in the job.
The idea that NU won't be able to attract interest in their head-coaching job is ludicrous.

Might be a little over the top after the last coaching search wielded Mike Riley.
That was not a search.
Another enlightened post from Iowa fan. I like KF coaching Iowa the same as the rest of the league likes MR coaching Nebraska. Post your prediction for Iowa versus NW next week if feel the need to be over here.
That falls on the hands of our ex AD who was a lawyer and had no clue on getting a better Head Coah than Bo Pelini..
I heard 4.6.3 is pushing his lotion bottle as a candidate. Unfortunately the buyout 4.6.3 put on it is illegal in the continental US.
Hey hawk fan, have you checked out the coaches poll today? Interested in your thoughts.
You're not a well thought out poster but I'll respond to your answer so the people that use their brains can see my point.
I don't think anyone from the SEC would leave their current position to go to a place that is willing to get rid of a guy for winning 9 games every year. Or get rid of a guy after 2.5-3 years.
Bielema maybe, because it sounds like he might be done at Arkansas. Sumlin?
The B12 might have Matt Campbell that would? David Beatty probably would because Kansas is, well, Kansas. But he has coaching ties to Kansas so maybe not a guarantee.
I honestly don't think a B1G coach would do it. That's probably a guarantee.
The PAC-12 might have one or two guys that might. But it seems like those guys usually have west coast ties and aren't leaving.
The ACC is the same.
In summation, you're realistically looking at 10 guys from close to 60 teams? While most of those are because of them about to be fired at their current spot.
Lots of moving around, which we knew after the upsets. Big Ten is stacked up top. ISU receiving votes is hilarious. Iowa lost to the number two ranked team by an inch and lost on the road against the 19th ranked team after somewhat giving it away.
I'm looking forward to seeing the young Iowa team improve after the bye week.
To answer your earlier question, I'll be at the NW game and I'm hoping they don't look young anymore.
And I would say more than 10 not half like the other poster mentioned..
When ever has a Head Coach from the B1G team went and left it for another? Enlighten me.
Reality is somewhere in between this and half of P5 coaches.
What is there to enlighten? It drives down the number well below half. I'd personally say 15 TOPS! And again, a lot of them are because they are about to lose their jobs. Kind of like Riley was.
I tend to side with SWIowahawks on this one. You can say there wasn't a search when Riley was hired but you don't really know what the interest was. Look at the leagues and who do you realistically see leaving? No one in the B1G for sure, the Purdue job was just filled for big bucks. The west coast guys are not likely to want to come to the midwest and if they did, they don't run smash mouth FB anyway. How about the B 12? Don't see much moving around there with lots of stability.
Oh that's right, get out the check book - that will solve the problem. Well, it won't. These guys are smart. I was in a business where people move around a lot and you knew which places to avoid even if they did pay well. As much as I would like to say Nebraska is a dream job, it isn't.
Tennessee looks like they may be looking, Texas A&M possibly and you think we can compete with them? You can throw names out all day and frankly some of them are ridiculous and think all you have to do is flash the cash.
There might be some SEC guys on the hot seat looking to move but then you have a guy with baggage and likely not doing so well. I assume everyone wants someone on the up tick, not struggling this year or on the hot seat of their own. That really limits things.
I have no clue what will happen and I have refrained from even entering this fray but my goodness the talk is cheap on here.

And usually a lot of schools hire a head coach that was an asst. coach from another Power 5 school.
Plenty of asst coaches would be interested in the Nebraska job along with non Power 5 schools.
Not that we're looking for the up and coming asst coach but plenty of them are qualified and would be excellent choices.
Just so happens Eichorst talked to Alvarez for his opinion who is a nice guy everyone likes.
I don't think reality is anywhere close to half. Here is why. 64 P5 schools. You would need 32 coaches who would want to leave what they have to go to Nebraska. Take out the 13 Big Ten schools and you would need 32 out of 51 coaches to reach "half".
This why I think it's crazy to even think half is on the high side.
I reread your post and you said "coaches". Sorry if you meant more than just head coaches.
Agree. Some fans remain delusional even after we have been relegated to near the bottom of the conference.
Can't disagree with you on that. My original post was in regards to "one-third to one-half of P5 head coaches".
Even 1/3 would be 21 out of 51 coaches not in the Big Ten. That's a lot.
This place would erupt if we "settle" for an assistant. We need proven talent, leadership, track record, etc - we are, after all, Nebraska. What does that say if we "flash the cash" and "only" get an up and coming assistant? It says the search failed in many peoples eyes, oh yea, there really wasn't a search they would say and we probably didn't offer enough money.
The jump in any job from assistant to the top is tremendous and don't downplay it. You are suddenly responsible for everything and the communication level goes through the roof. I don't buy in to the fact that a good coordinator or assistant will translate into a good HC. People were ga-ga over Bo and we know how that turned out.
The stark reality is the pickins are VERY thin. Everyone is getting the pitch forks out wanting a change for change sake and there may or may not be someone in the wings or who even wants to come to Nebraska. I don't know and you don't either but look at things with a dose of reality please.
