During the game, the commentators said if Bielema can bring Illinois back, then the right guy can do that at NU. Bo was getting 9-10 wins and bowling with no support from the front office. We just need to find the right guy for NU. He might not be the "best" available, but we need the best for us. In our conference, in our division, in our recruiting environment. I also want a guy that puts a premium on a down hill running attack. I am sick of our busted up scheme being big or bust yolo bombs. A coach who wants physicality on both sides of the ball. Especially in the trenches.
I like a lot of the names mentioned. Some more than others. I like Chadwell and his modern version of the option. Question, would he come to NU as the OC for an established HC? Would Grimes, Grinch, Beck, Walters (examples of coordinators) etc....Come here as coordinators. I have no idea. I still have no idea what the hell Riley tried to run, or Frost or Whip. There is no ebb and flow. No play to set up another. Nada. Just complete incompetence at every level and every phase. I know people are scoffing at a G% or "up and coming coach" or even coordinators, but I feel very confident, most guys would coach circles around Frost and look like a genius. TBH, and I've said it a lot, I'd call Prime and guage his interest and what his scheme, plan, development, and staff would look like. He just wins. And recruits his a$$ off.
