Check some of the universities who have opened their checkbooks.......let me know if it led to championships or buyouts.
Alabama--championship
Auburn--championship
LSU--championship
USC--championship
Texas--championship
Actually, every championship ever since no one coaches for free
Current coaches in order of salary
Saban at Alabama - 8 years, 3 national championships, 3 SEC championships with 4 appearances
Stoops at Oklahoma - 15 years, 1 national champinship with 3 appearances, 8 Big XII championships with 9 appearances
Charlie Strong at Texas - remains to be seen
Sumlin at Texas A&M - 3 years, no championships, 2-2 in bowl games (11 wins, 9 wins, 7 wins, in order)
Meyer at Ohio State - 3 years, no championships with one conference appearance, 0-1 in bowl games, but we all know his history at Florida and they've been under sanctions. Yet to lose a regular season conference game.
Miles at LSU - 10 years, 1 national championship with 2 appearances, 2 conference championships with 3 appearances.
Hoke at Michigan - 4 years, no championships or divisional championships, one BCS bowl win, severely trending downwards
Briles at Baylor - 7 years, 1 conference championship, trending upwards at a school with no football history
Sarkisian at USC - 1st year, remains to be seen, but didn't accomplish much of anything at Washington
Ferentz at Iowa - 2 conference co-championships, handful of losing seasons
Malzahn at Auburn - 2 years, 1 conference championship, lots of "luck"
Franklin at Penn State - remains to be seen
Kelly at Notre Dame - 5 years, no championships with 1 national championship appearance, 44-18 record with up and down individual seasons and downwards trend the last 3 seasons
Spurrier at South Carolina - 10 years, no championships with one appearance, 1 divisional championship, 65% winning average, not much football history at USC
Fisher at Florida State - yeah he good
this isn't an argument just data
The argument is in the data. I was going to gather all of this up but it was way too time consuming only to attempt to convince someone who isnt going to change their mind otherwise. If you want a "proven" head coach, which by all accounts is what Nebraska wants and needs then you are going to need to open up the checkbook to get one. Anyone else is a risk and one we likely are not in the position to take. Deciding the next head coach at Nebraska will likely be the most important decision made in sometime at NU. Fail and we likely will fall into the abyss and become another Minnesota.
