Who should our next HC be?

Maintain high standards, stick to those standards, strive for those standards, and refuse to settle for less than those standards. When you start lowering your standards is when things start going to s#!t. 

Sorry, this makes no sense. You have it literally backwards.

The standards lessened after things went to s#!t, not before. You've got the cause and effect completely wrong.

Solich goes .500 then barely rebounds and recruiting is tanking. Then Pedersen says 'I won't let this program slip into mediocrity', his "stick to those standards" made us worse.

Pelini is further from a conference championship in year seven than he was in year one. Then Eichorst says 'I had to look at where Iowa was as a program' and made us worse.

Our standards were not "I hope we can get to .500" when Frost was hired. That came after things went to s#!t.

Then you don't or haven't been following Nebraska football. We have elite money and we have a new 155 million dollar facility being built right now that will show recruits that we want the very best for them and that we are serious about winning here. Nebraska just hasn't choosing to go get great coaches in the past to compete with other programs and that's why we have sucked.

I'm well aware of the new facilities.

If you haven't been following Nebraska football, it ain't done being built quite yet.

 

[Red Five]

Not good enough.

All I've gotta say is that if Campbell and Doeren are two of our top targets we're in trouble

Honest questions:

Besides Urban Meyer who’s “good enough”?

Whats the requisite win % to be “good enough”?

No one said it was done you said we don't have elite money to pay coaches. Yes we do we can and should strive to pay a coach 10 million to win if that is what it takes get it done. In this day and age you pay for what you get.

We can show recruits that we are serious bc of the new facility being built. Not all college teams have that that is one of our strengths that can and will help us attract top recruits just need the right coach to lead them.

Those are my questions too, but I haven’t seen many people answering them.

When preparation meets opportunity one is proven "good enough".

I'm not convinced that there are only a very select few that can experience success here. They just have to be identified and installed!

There are teams doing new facilities or renovations that match ours and exceed it.  Tennessee is doing a multi year project that is costing $340 million.  Texas Tech will start on their $160 million facility in November.  
 

There are teams that you wouldn’t think could do much like SMU but they are doing a $100 million facility upgrade.  
 

We are not anymore special when it comes to facilities then other bigtime programs.

I agree that there are probably multiple coaches who many fans consider “not good enough” who can come in and do very well. But, most guys end up as failures, that’s why coaching hires are so difficult. 

 

[Hammerhead]

I'm starting to see Jamey Chadwell's name thrown around a lot.  I'm not sure what to think,  but I'm not opposed to the idea. 

 

[Huskers93-97]

Why do I have a nagging feeling this hire is going to be more Riley than it is Pelini

Well after mavs post of Dave Doeren I did a google search to find out who the f#&% that is. So trending mike Riley

He is on my top 5 list and #1 from a G5 school. I still prefer some wt good P5 experience 

 

[talaricohusker]

Hate all this speculation just come out with your damn list and do the interviews over the next 9 weeks

Yep, Trev should just tell the whole world who he’s having discussions with. All of the guys currently coaching will love him for that!

 

[Huskers93-97]

I don’t disagree but who are the realistic “elite” candidates?

You didn’t ask me but I will answer. Elite in my mind is a coach who has won more than 1 P5 conference championship which shows consistency. Can consistently recruit top 20 classes and some classes pop into the top 15 to top 10 every few years. Ideally has made a national championship game or playoff appearance. This is the kind of proven winner Nebraska should be pursuing and throwing stupid big ten money at to resume our rightful seat at the blue blood table. But it sounds like the standards of Nebraska have dropped so far we are going to go after guys who haven’t done it yet but we hope our resources will allow them to ascend to greatness here. I just think if we want to be thought of as a blue blood again we need to act like it. USC got tired of trying unproven people so they said f#&% it let’s go steal the coach we want
