Who should our next HC be?

[VectorVictor]

We put a week-old Runza on the sideline against Oklahoma with a headset on it and there is zero chance we look worse than today. Probably won't look better, but cannot look worse.

Depends. What kind of Runza are we talkin’ here? 

 

[PaulCrewe]

You'd think an elite coach like Urban would love to coach in the putrid Big Ten West.

Damn right.  Rack up the wins, and get to stroke his ego of taking a once college football giant back to the promise land while having statues built of him.  He'd do it 

 

[CornymyCob]

Money talks and it better or kiss the Big Red goodbye. 7 wins will be your ceiling. You know I’m right.

You might be able to get Urban but no way Bob Stoops does it.

In retrospect, the man I'm most mad at is Bill Moos. Drunk fat jacka$$ gave Frost a needless extension. This would be over already.

Aim for and do whatever it takes to get the following;

-Chris Petersen

-Bob Stoops

-Urban Meyer

-Matt Rhule

-Dave Aranda

I get why people say Urban Meyer but just...I dunno man every win would be tainted, the football world's opinion of him is the lowest it's ever been.

F them. F it. F college football. Time to go and win no matter how it’s done.

Tainted wins???

And right now the world's opinion of NU is probably worse

How different we are now. Urban Meyer is a s#!tshow of a human, but a great coach. 5 years ago he would have been the devil and no husker would want him, because we do it right here. Now? People are probably praying for him. And I am too. It’s a different world. We need to get back to being relevant. Stoops? If he were to take any other gig than Oklahoma, I think it would be Nebraska. Even Oklahoma fans would understand how much it would mean to bring this program back to being something. Who knows? My guess, we don’t end up with either one, probably some young upcoming coach.

I get that but I mean part of the joy in winning is to get to lord it over others, it's not the same feeling when everyone just gets to sit there and go "oh you just went and got him after everyone found out how big of a POS he was and you cared about nothing else."

Dave Clawson from Wake Forest. 

 

[TGHusker]

I’m now of the opinion that we hire Urb and Herman as his OC. Urb will get a good DC

We are truly a sh!tty program right now.  I think we'd be a blip on the news reel.  Probably some crap about NU doing anything to win.  Maybe bring up LP.  Again.  Nobody cares when you're winning.

Yes to Stoops and Urban.  Instant credibility and press.  I like Aranda, always have. He’d bring back the defense which has been MIA for years. Petersen sort of looked overmatched at times at Washington. I actually thought he could have done better there. Not sure he could do it anymore. Rhule, meh. 
 

But yes to the caliber of names. Please no more Lance Kansas and Chadwell becoming Minny lite in the west.

Get a big time coach in here!  Our QB and receiver play has been pretty good. But Nebraska needs to play defense and run the ball well. The Blackshirts are literally dead. Like don’t even discuss that anymore until a unit represents that legacy, like it is embarrassing. Have some pride.

I hold a similar view.

I think Urban would be a bit like 'selling one's soul to the devil.' Not sure a lot of Nebraska fans would be thrilled with that. Peoples' opinion on UM is already split just going off of the few anecdotal conversations I've seen on Twitter and had in person. I also get the feeling that Trev wouldn't be that interested in Urban because of all the baggage, so it's probably a moot point overall.

That said, and I know people hate to hear this kind of stuff, but I am at probably my lowest point in my Husker fandom. Damn near total apathy. Losing doesn't even hurt anymore. It's like growing a callous. Eventually, you just don't feel anything. UM would almost certainly make Nebraska a winning program but at a high cost.
