If only we had Scott Frost, he'd be the best head coach ever.

Remember, he is a Pac 12 guy, just like Riley

Except Frosty believes in a strong running game.

I think our coaches do to if only we had a line and running backs to do it with.

we have the running backs and o-line, we just choose to run Newby up the gut instead of having him go outside. Then when it never works, we throw it the rest of the game.

Our O-line is barely MAC quality and we do not have a running back that could start for any top 20 team.

You're making Pelini look like Lombardi with some of your comments.

The truth is somewhere between the last two statements above.

Ameer made a poor line look average. He is gone with no one of his talent left on the team.

I wouldn't say that your opinion is just like everyone elses....

I guess my problem with the Riley hire is there really isn't a long-term plan. Sure, it could be argued that this would be true with any coach we brought in due to how often coaches change schools. However, Riley is 62. If it was thought that this would take some time to rebuild as Eichorst claimed in his press release, why bring in a coach near the end of his career? It doesn't make sense to me.

In regards to Herman, he appears to have a vision and is currently working towards that vision. Houston is currently 11-1, after going 7-5 last year, and Ward has improved steadily throughout the season. It's no coincidence that Ohio St's offense has struggled since his departure. He is a great coach with a high ceiling.

Hope not, I am not into group think like most of the rest of you but that is what makes it fun, doesn't it?

That has yet to be proven at a elite power 5 school, but there is promise.

What if the long term plan was to: Get rid of Bo because of his demeanor....not so much about the wins/loses, but because he was an embarrassment to the program and to the state. Bringing in a top coach when firing a nine win coach would just not happen...too much instability in the last three coaching decisions here.(Solich, Calahan and Pelini) Get a decent coach, with a great personality to fix the image issue. Also make sure that coach isn't going to be around long term. Just long enough to fix the image, get some distance between the terrible view most coaches might have about taking the job at Nebraska and then retire. Let's say maybe three years. He retires, it is obvious the storied Husker program needs a savior, the stench of past coaching decisions has cleared, and we then make the "splash" hire everyone is clamoring for? Not saying I like that plan....but strategic planning often encompasses years, not months....

 

[cm husker]

Anyone who still thinks Solich should have been fired is part of the problem.

 

[cm husker]

The Riley hire want erase the embarrassment of hiring (Callahan) and firing mistakes that have occurred at Nebraska.

One is deluding himself to believe such nonsense, especially that the administrative brain trust at NU right now took such a long view, as demented as such a view would be.

Solich was a horrible head coach and worse recruiter. He started the downward spiral of Husker football. Part of it is Osborne's fault for picking him as the head coach instead of letting the AD do a real search.

 

[I am I]

Who did Solich have a hand in recruiting the 19 yrs he spent as an assistant? Did he bring anyone of our top players in? Serious question. Now, he may not have been able to coordinate an entire program worth of recruits and have TO come seal the deal with the best we needed/got, but I'd bet he brought in/knew how to recruit top talent. Maybe not, once it was his team.

DB seems to think that Frank was a pretty good recruiter. All of those guys that made Cosgroves defense look good for a year or two were Frank's recruits. Many found time in the NFL.
