That said, I couldn’t care less about what they do. They can’t recruit Texas/Oklahoma anymore. The program is becoming a fossil. I wouldn't use the term "reckless" at all. I prefer to call it "thinking outside the box." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He very well might be a football version of Bo Ryan? He took over a D3 program that had been to the national championship game the previous two seasons…not exactly a proven program builder, despite his success there. I’m sure there’s some Pop Warner coaches out there with +.950 records, lets see what they can do. How’s that for outside the box? Nebraska already took a flier hiring Frost after his “flash in the pan” success in a recruiting mecca like Florida. Leipold may turn out to be the next great FBS coach but the Bo Ryan comparison is irrelevant as is his D3 coaching record. Nebraska has the funds to hire an established guy and the program is on the brink of becoming the likes Kansas football. Hiring on perceived potential could be a death sentence.

He was the straw that stirred the drink in 2020. His injuries in 21 (while not the only factor) were the stone that the giant snowball was built from. His base-line talent level is so much higher than just about any QB we've had since Kellen Lewis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No question. I never agreed/ thought that he should have been benched last year. He undoubtedly started slow (coming back from his 3rd straight season ending injury) but yeah. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who do you think Nebraska could realistically get? Ask Purdue fans what happens when you hire a MAC coach with a couple good seasons…a decade later they’re still whining about the carnage. I’d be surprised if they couldn’t get Bill O’Brien if he wants to stay in the college ranks. I can’t imagine a guy like him enjoys taking orders from Saban. He also brings enough experience and clout for Nebraska to offer him full control of the program. Matt Campbell is a name that keeps popping up. Any coach in the Big12 not named Venables or Sarkisian should be up for grabs for any BigTen or SEC school. If Zac Taylor’s seat in Cincinatti gets hot as the season plays out, he may want to come home. His resume is void of any relevant college coaching experience so Nebraska would have to give him some rope to acclimate to the college game as well as a hefty budget to hire proven recruiters for his staff. I have to imagine this is Nebraska’s last chance (if it even exists) to turn this program around so they’ll be going “all in” on this hire. Their saving grace may be the fact that it’s soon to be SEC, BigTen, ACC or bust for some of these top tier coaches that stand to find themselves on the outside looking in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
