He wouldn't be going "back" to coordinator. He's a position coach and AHC to IHC.
Who should our next HC be?

Great article on what Sanders is willing to do to win. Change OC during he season. And this was when they were 3-1. And the OC was a former teammate with him at Atlanta....and who he'd known for 30 years....
A good quote and what is desperately needed at NU.
“He’s very demanding. He doesn’t accept mediocrity at all. That’s 24 hours a day, seven days a week and that’s the culture that’s been established around here. You know you can’t [cut] corners with him.

I hope so. Seems like a no nonsense kind of coach that has big ten/midwest coaching.
My only other "theory" would be hire Mickey, have have him hire Vance as DC (maybe a SEC type D with Mickeys recruiting) and who knows......He hire Tommy Herman as OC. LETS GO???
I can type for hours on end......I just wanna watch us be good again. I am sick of listening to my Iowa and Wisconsin friends talking crap.

I still think Deion would be a huge risk to take as a HC but after reading some of his recruiting philosophies and what he says it takes to win in P5 football, I might be okay with giving him a shot.
He said skill players will always do their thing but when it comes to winning games, it starts in the trenches and at QB. He brought in 7 linemen from the transfer portal and has gotten a commitment from a 4* DL already this year.

It was obvious. He wasn’t trapped. He was too egotistical to hide.

Let me clarify it again I never said Campbell or Lance Leipold aren't good coaches. IN MY HONEST OPINION do you think they can have sustainable success here. It's going to take another 3-4 years of hoping that they can be good it wont be a short rebuild. Trev should swing for the fences and not go for a conservative search. You guys keep telling me about past candidates that past on this job you have to think that money had to be involved and how much Nebraska was willing to spend at that time. Nebraska has more money to spend now more then ever so at least go try and get the best available coach. One that has experience winning at a high level and having consistent success. That's what Nebraska should go do to become successful again in my book and I know I'm not the only Husker fan that thinks about it that way.

That is commonplace in my experience also and I have been in several different industries over the years. Doesn’t always work out, but when I have to let people go, I always try to get the replacement lined up in advance

I was a little excited when I saw he had been released by the Panthers. As I looked up his numbers , his 3 recruiting classes at Baylor were #39 - #29 - #40. He was able to attract a lot of Texas kids which would be much more difficult from Lincoln Nebraska. Plus the dude will make $864,000 a month from Carolina for 4 1/2 years if he doesn't take a job somewhere. Is he motivated to jump in with both feet and rebuild this program or does he need a year to recharge his batteries raking in money hand over fist. Now if he would agree to work for a dollar a year and let Carolina pick up the tab and allow him to get two great well paid coordinators then we might be able to make something work. Another plus would be NIL which he didn't have at Baylor or Temple. NIL has brought in some good skill people this spring and summer but both O and D line still need help.

Urban Meyer, Chris Peterson, Mark Stoops, Dave Aranda, Kyle Whittingham. A nationally known coach. Not saying anyone of them would come but with enough money in their face someone would accept.

This is exactly what I thought about hiring Campbell away from Iowa State shortly after he got there....so we should steal any area coach who gets a few wins? That's creepy.

To be fair the leadership from the AD on down has been less than stellar the last 10 years. Moos and Eichorst were dumpster fires. One stuck his finger in the air to see what the popular opinions were and the other chose to hire a coach who was just the opposite of the coach who stole his lunch money. I'm still pi$$ed at the high recommendation Barry Alvarez gave for Eich. He knew exactly what he would do to the Husker programs. Like you I do hope Trev can break the cycle of hiring underwhelming head coaches.

You know what I mean. Why would he want to go back to that? It'd kinda be a slap in the face. Just my two cents.

Fair enough. Most reasonable folks understand that Meyer does not want the job. Whittingham ain’t leaving. Not sure about Peterson, but it would surprise me if he were interested. Maybe aranda would come? Feel like stoops would be making at best a lateral move by leaving for Nebraska.

He was mentioned in response to DS.
He's literally not out-recruiting everyone in the country, but I agree he is doing a fantastic job considering where he's at.
He hasn't even finished his 3rd season as a college coach. That's the opposite of "proven track record".
This is just random hyperbole.
Ok. Preaching faith at a public school is a mark against him for me, but I respect what he's done developing young men as a high school coach.
He's done very well for where he's at. The assumption seems to be that he'd be able to do that even better at Nebraska, but that's a big assumption.
Does he? I've seen he has a former NFL analyst on staff, but that's about it. I'd say that's a huge question mark.
These are more really big assumptions.
No he doesn't. This is wishcasting.
Yes.
This is utter nonsense. Sanders has never even coached at a FBS school with just 2 years as a college coach. While MJ has 17 years as a college coach including 6 years in FBS and 2 years as HC of a HBCU.
Look, Sanders has an impressive 2 years at Jacksonville St, but that's not much to go on for qualifications as the Nebraska HC.
Anyone who passes out copies of The Energy Bus to everyone in their office is suspect in my view (Eichorst). I got a chuckle learning that. It’s something that might be given to adolescents at summer camp. It’s a nifty positivity book without a lot of depth. Mr. Sunshine probably would’ve been better off promoting listening and effective conflict resolution during his tenure.
There is no reason that we shouldn’t be having more success. We’re expected to win and don’t. That’s a good place to start. To an extent we’re blinded by our tradition of having been dominating winners. It carries over into how we present ourselves to players from when they’re recruited. We’re not that anymore. And the mindset starts at the top.

Exactly. Again, after Solich was fired, everybody thought it was a plum job and that top coaches would be lining up for it. People were talking on forums like this - just like they are now - and throwing around names of top coaches - even guys like Bill Parcels or Steve Mariucci. And then a guy named Houston Nutt said up yours, he'd rather stay with the Razorback Hogs. Ended up with a last minute desperation hire in Calahan. Forget Urban Meyer. He isn't coming. Trev needs to find the diamond in the rough.

Payton will be coaching in the NFL again soon. The Dolphins were going to offer him a 5-year, $100-million contract. He's also technically still under contract with the Saints... not sure how that would work for us.

we all want a HC that is swing for the fences. but if UM ain't coming, then all the rest are chumps. once we understand that, maybe we just get a guy that will run the offense many of us want to see and live with mediocrity. so go for the guys that are run first, big boy OL, nasty demeanor. moncton, chadwell, air force stuff. i'm so sick of yolo's, picks and 3 and outs.

I have zero problem with Aranda either. Brings a level of toughness Trev talks about and does check most of the boxes. I really like Jeff Grimes his OC as well. Mickey and Busch would hopefully stay on as well. Would he come here? Does Trev want him? That’s the question.

Would he? He's been at NC State for a long time. This one is more Riley-esque than Campbell by a long shot

I agree. Aranda would be a good get. I just don’t see us being able to pull him away.
How is that a horrible take? Would be a much better get than neon Deion. Problem is we aren’t going get Aranda and not going to even look at Sanders.

Kids go play for coaches that are winners. I talked about it earlier that its going to take a coach and a great coaching staff to be great recruiters bc top tier talent matters. You have to have both in order to succeed. Nebraska hasn't had great recruiters or great developers so that has definitely hurt us.

I'm a fan of Aranda from his time at LSU. I'd be ok w/ him.
