Honestly Urban would be perfect, come in and shift everything almost instantly.  He can recruit and coach and knows how to find good assistants.  He runs the show for five years  "retires" again and hands it over to a young assistant that can run the show for the next decade or two.

You people are delusional if you think Urban Meyer would ever consider coming to Nebraska. He could go to USC or LSU and you think he's gonna come here?  :lol:

Chadwell is my #1 pick. There aren't too many places that would embrace that option attack he runs, but Nebraska would be the #1 place that would. Not to mention with that offense they'd be recruiting guys that many other schools wouldn't. It would make Nebraska a destination for kids who run similar offenses in HS, would would help alleviate their recruiting disadvantages.

Somewhat related: Patterson out at TCU. 

Just another destination for these up-and-comers that've been discussed. 

Monken is the guy we need, though.

Why Monken? A 53-42 overall record? No thanks.

I'd take Troy Calhoun over Monken. Air Force ranks near the top rushing teams annually.

I am curious about the interest in these coaches who run option attacks at military academies. That's giving your team a ceiling, and why would you want your QB getting hit all the time from Big Ten defenses? That's the biggest complaint about Frost and Martinez, in that Adrian takes too many hits which causes fumbles, injuries, and reduced effectiveness over the course of a season.

Because TO ran the triple option!  Come on!  

 
Bogus.  This is all bogus.  Until Frost is out the door, I won't believe any of this.  There are no coaches getting vetted right now in the middle of the season.  None for us or for USC, LSU, etc. 

Just to play along, Chadwell is Frost.  This is nothing different.  They would recruit the same type of players and the Big 10 would eat him for lunch as well.

Find me coach who plays power football with some downfield passing and I am all in.  Doesn't have to be any name of that list, just a coach who can play power football. 

By the way, everyone in the whole USA knew who was going to be our next coach way back in October of 2017 as soon as NIU beat us.  Thanks, but no thanks!

How is it giving your team a ceiling? 

What you're talking about is exactly why an option offense would be a great fit. Not that I would want a QB to get hurt, but with this style of offense, it's basically plug-and-play with the next guy up. This is because you aren't expecting a prototypical quarterback to drop back and make reads  between linebackers, in the secondary, etc. You're asking him to make a read at the line, run the ball, pitch it, hand it off, etc. So the drop-off from starter to backup for option offenses isn't nearly as big as for teams like us. 

Georgia Tech did fine against ACC defenses. They did well several years against Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi State, several others. I mean, Adrian is getting hurt running whatever crap we're trying now, but we can't go with Smothers because he can't run the offense well enough to be effective.

I know Osborne's offense used the triple option look, but it wasn't true triple option. 

This is not why I want it. I want it because we need to be different. Bringing in another spread or pro guy just prolongs this disaster.

But, to the original point, bringing up Osborne actually helps prove me right. In 1994, Frazier went down early, but we had a guy come in and lead us to the national title. This was because Osborne's stuff was simple, and didn't put a lot of pressure on QB's in some kind of complicated passing scheme.
