Who do you think should be the next coach at Nebraska?

Someone who will develop the OL and run the damn ball.

Of the coaches you listed, I'd love Urban Meyer, but we all know that Meyer, due to his antics, is a stop gap measure. And it is those "antics" and baggage Meyer brings that has me concerned that even with his success it might not be a good fit. I dunno. What I do know is I am tired of seeing the same stale product every week.

Some of these names are ridiculous. Mark Stoops? Why on earth would he leave a place where he can stay in the middle of the pack but remain employed as long as he'd like? Stoops and Fitzgerald have the two best jobs in college football. They can slip but so long as they come back the next year and get to a minor bowl game, their fan base is happy.

I fear no one who is established would want the Nebraska job, which means we'd get another developmental coach who learns on the job and makes just enough mistakes to keep us down in the standings. Still hoping this experiment will work, but my hopes took a major blow about the time Frost called that on-sides kick.
 
Aranda is familiar with the B1G from his time at Wisky and has been a winner at LSU & Baylor. With the B12 taking a further nosedive in terms of national prominence once OU & UT bolt for the SEC I think he may be open to taking a job in one of the premier leagues (B1G or SEC). His Texas connections can't hurt with recruiting.

I wanted Aaranda to get a shot before Frost. He was in an elite league where Scott was not.
 
Wish list: 1 Aranda 2. Kiffin 3. Urb. Needs to be an established winner.
Opinion: Unless you get Deion and the best def assistant coaches possible an experiment is out of the question. Otherwise just keep Frost and hope for the best.
The onside kick ended any hope I had left for Santa Frost
 
I am still rooting for SF but I am absolutely sickened by the onside kick call. I understand there are other reasons we lost the game but that call is revealing. He thinks we have to be super creative to win a game when NW kept things kinda simple and proved you can still win. Iowa does the same stuff every year and wins a bunch of games. SF was getting fancy when fancy was not even remotely needed.

If we end up needing a new HC I demand he be from the Big 10 or SEC. The person needs to understand from experience in those Conferences what is required. I would still like to keep Mickey Joseph, Applewhte, Beckton, and our defensive staff but the HC needs to have some intense experience with big boy football.

I'm not impressed by this Applewhite.

When rumor was an Applewhite I said WTF out loud when it turned out not to be Major. I mean, we literally went one nobody to another.

My choice is Chucky. He's a redhead like Osborne.
 
None of the above.....

MJ will get the nod as temp, but after that all bets are off. That onside kick was simply stupid and as they say you can not fix stupid.

I will say it again: Whoever the next coach is, they need to be a coach who will commit to running the ball.

I am not saying we need to be 80% run, but certainly a 60-65% run to 35-40% pass would be ideal I think. Nebraska is *never* going to be good until we get back to our roots. How Scott Frost, of all people, doesn't understand this baffles my mind.
