Who should our next HC be?

[The Scarlet Pimpernel]

You might think that.

But it's pretty stupid to think that he should be able to overcome a decade of being the laughingstock of college football in a couple of weeks.

Who thinks that? I agree, it's stupid.

I have yet to see this answered by people who say “Coach X or Coach Y aren’t good enough for Nebraska”. What are those people’s expectations in terms of wins-losses and achievements which would make a coach “successful” in their eyes?

I must have missed the part about "a couple weeks". Heck, Mickey Joseph hit the ground running when he was hired and did damn well.

They expect Urban Meyer. Although recently they’ve allowed Chris Petersen to be discussed…so progress indeed.

Who are "they"? I cut out the Meyer talk a while back; I'm not expecting that at all.

And who’s to say that a guy like Leipold won’t hire a staff who would be strong recruiters? We have heard that Trev is gonna roll out big bucks for the assistant coaches.

I never expected anything all I said was they should go after him. That's all I said.

You know. They.

The 500 mile and in-state talent is where NU needs to hit in recruiting and development. For whatever reason, this has been a complete whiff for nearly a decade. 

While this is important we need to be thinking much bigger. It’s been a whiff because we have not been a good football team. I want guys like Mickey on staff to pull guys from the south or we need a TX ace. Recruiting border states is not going to cut it.

You can recruit and develop plenty of interior guys (especially o-linemen) from the neighboring states. I do agree special guys at DT and DE tend to come from the south but they also tend to stay and play in that area. NU did great by recruiting and developing guys like Wistrom, Rucker, Kelsay brothers, Steve Warren, and Vanden Bosch all in neighboring states. Shoot, I forgot maybe the best one of them all and our current AD.

Tennessee was in the same position we were not long ago. Look at them now.

And by a lot of your standards, you wouldn’t have wanted Heupel.
