Who do you think gets offered the Nebraska job?

[antirowboat]

We all have our own preferences, some will have their own list like me, but in the end, who do you actually think gets the Nebraska head coaching job offer once Scott Frost is out the door at season end?

Personally, even though I have a couple of guys I'd like more than others, my pick is Trev Alberts landing Matt Campbell from Iowa State. Why? No Michigan job opening, has a low buyout, Big 12 is no longer a top conference, he already has ties into the same high schools that Nebraska already recruits.

How many threads are you going to make about the same subject?

 

[leodisflowers]

I think it is going to be Bill O'Brien if Scott is let go. I don't love this hire, but rumor is that he and Trev have a relationship and is the current front runner.

Man, you're freakin relentless.

I bet he could put together a staff and recruit. Who knows?? Just tired of watching the shit show we have now

It’s pretty much along the very same lines, if you want to know what people posted just see who they voted for in the poll thread..

I don't have a good other option, but no to Campbell. The fact that he can't beat Iowa IS a big deal. Smoke and mirrors coaching in the Big XII. We already saw first-hand, Bo going from Big XII and Big 10 and newsflash: it aint easy.

The Frost could head to Alabama like other fired coaches!

 

[Herbert Husker]

I think I agree with Campbell. No candidate is perfect, and if they are they aren’t coming here.

He’s experienced in the Midwest (or Great Plains more technically), so it wouldn’t be a weird fit. He’s done a really good job at a historically bad school. He may be realizing he’s reached his peak there. I could also see him staying here if he found success rather than viewing us as a stepping stone.

After the surefire Frost hire failed, I think it’s clear nobody knows the right answer. There are risks and unknowns with every hire. But for the reasons I stated above I think Campbell is as good a realistic choice as any.

you make some great points

We could do far worse than O’Brien. In fact, he would be high on my list. No to Campbell. He has plateaued at ISU.

He’s plateaued at an impressive level considering it’s Iowa State. If he plateaued any higher we’d stand no chance because a better offer would be waiting for him.

I have a friend who’s huge into NFL. He said O’Brien is the worst in game manager he’s ever seen. I know NFL is not NCAA but that kind of stuff does translate.

He also didn’t do anything impressive at PSU other than recruit a five star QB who ended up being dreadful.

I can’t believe he would be on the top of Trev’s list..Some have mentioned he doesn’t like to recruit, but of course I heard the same thing about Hoiberg too..

My choice is Dave Aranda, because he has coached in the conference and you need to have a good defense to win the division and conference before a Lane Kiffen type offense..
Which we thought we were getting with SF when he arrived in Lincoln..

Dave Aranda or Bill O'Brien

 

[Baxter48]

I don’t have a favorite I just want a coach that has a great resume win loss record with a minimum of 5 years P5 that runs a well disciplined team no more inventing new ways to lose, I don’t mind loosing if the opponent is superior in talent but loosing to teams by Being out coached isn’t tolerated

 

[SuperBigFan]

Dave Aranda or Bill O'Brien

Aranda would be amazing.

I don't think Husker media and in turn Husker fans would be okay with Bill.

We say this with every hire..... For me unless you get an Urban Meyer, Bob Stoops, or someone proven it is just more words. We think everyone will get a staff and recruit. Only really Callahan killed it in recruiting...

We could do far worse, but we could do far better. I don't think O'Brien is bad, I'm just curious of what he really brings.

Retread looking to pad his retirement account is what he'll bring.

 

[KingBlackshirt]

He was hated in Houston. Chris Peterson should be #1

Coach speak… has your agent been contacted? That’s the real question…

 

[Lord Christopher]

I'm surprised this place hasn't hired Nick Saban. You would think he would be a shoe in for this place. Relax Nebraska fans, its a joke. I think you should concentrate on a head coach with proven experience in building a program and keeping it there. Luke Fickle would be a great hire, but I think he is waiting for the Ohio St vacancy when and if it happens.

 

[Redinwashington]

Put me in for Freeze. Cause we need to rub a little dirt on it.

 

[tarheelhusker]

No matter who says yes, the wife probably needs to spend a winter in Lincoln. If she makes it, hire the man.

Aranda would be amazing. Would we even have a shot at him? I would imagine any coach in the Big 12 has at least one eye on the exit turnstile, given the precariousness of the conference. Baylor plays some good football. Plus... he knows Texas recruiting. He would definitely be higher on my list than O'Brien. I am only partial to O'Brien since I know what a shitstorm he walked into out here in PA after the Paterno thing. He held that program together for two years with a bailing wire and a prayer. Things could have completely unraveled and PSU could have ended up 2-10 for two years. Instead, he put two winning seasons together with a depleted roster. Which is a hell of a lot more than Frost has done in four years. So I at least think he deserves a look. He also is not a head coach right now and may want to get back into that and so would be interested. And ... he has Alabama experience now.

 

[NorthWillRiseAgain]

You need a program builder with a direct style, and in my opinion someone whom has made it somewhere over a decent period of type, not just with other coaches recruits.

Technically, Riley could fit that profile, but being a 500 coach should have ended that idea instantly.

Matt Campbell isn't coming to Lincoln. I am not saying he would good or bad for UNL. I am saying he only has interest in Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State or Penn State. If any of those became available. It is due to his background and upbringing.

I disagree on the part of "we thought we were getting good defense ' . I recorded and watched all the ucf games I could that year. My warning to this board was the defense . Gave up a lot of points and yards but they also got a lot of takeaways. Plus offense capitalized on them and many of their games were probably above the over/under.

On the optimistic side most probably watched their bowl game against auburn in which their defense was great and shut down the war eagles

This is bullshit. What is Trev waiting for?

 

[SuperBigFan]

Freeze would be a great hire on paper. I would be super excited about it.

Plus, I am over the "we need the right kind of kids" BS...go get the best players from anywhere and do what you can do. Lincoln is not some amazingly difficult place for kids to transition to.

He's coaching at Iowa State right now, quite a leap from the programs you just listed as the "only" places he would consider. You're in luck here though, because we don't want him.

Mangino!

lol…He may look like Jabba the Hutt but he took a losing program to a higher level and knows Offense
