whos that broooown posted:That's the whole point. They did have Iowa and Wisconsin level success but decided that wasn't good enough for them. And that mindset blew up on their faces several times This is it right here. They should be able to compete with Iowa and Wisconsin and NW and Minnesota, but they are run by complete idiots. There are no outside reasons they aren't at that level, it is all internal.

whos that broooown posted:and Utah? California proximity helps and obviously theyre a much better run program than Nebraska. I agree that location isnt everything with recruiting, just saying that BYU in particular would have the same success anywhere as long as they remained THE Mormon school.

Bird in a Blender posted:I can't tell anyone exactly what's wrong with Nebraska, but they have definitely made some terrible decisions over the last 20 years and it all started with firing Frank Solich. I don't think Nebraska quite had realized that college ball was shifting nationally away from regional dynamics. Their brand alone wasn't carrying them anymore. They fire a winning coach because he wasn't winning enough. Then they get Bo Pelini, who has just a slightly worse record than Solich did, and he gets fired for pretty much the same reasons, winning, but not enough. If that isn't a sign to most potential coaches to stay away, I don't know what is. I feel like this could be the year he jumps. How long can he maintain success at ISU and keep the options he currently has for his next job open? Nebraska has deeper pockets and is in the big 10 -- a much higher perch than the big 12 is about to become. And there's always the temptation to be 'the dude' who turns a program around, kinda like he's done at ISU, just on a larger stage. Idk if NU, but I'd guess Campbell takes the leap this season.

whos that broooown posted:and Utah? They play in California, one of the top high school talent states in the country, twice a year. Plus they've been competent-to-good for the last 15 years. Brandtm and visibility where recruiting is helps. It's the exact same thing with OU and (state of) Texas.

whos that broooown posted:Yeah, like Ohio State's star offensive players are from California, Virginia, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Washington. You realize half of Pennsylvania and Virginia are within 300 miles of Columbus? Ohio State is one of the outliers because they can arbitrarily recruit anywhere. But, look at the roster. Half the team is from Ohio.

Why did Gary Patterson stick with TCU so long? He apparently just loved it there. Maybe Matt Campbell is not masterminding a perfect career for himself, and he just wants to coach ISU for as long as he can. So Nebraska may as well offer him the job because for all anyone knows that's his dream job.

The Lance Leipold bit made me laugh a little because I think I actually agree with it. https://twitter.com/BruceFeldmanCFB/status/1569302584426627072 As of now he's won two FBS games in a year and two games at Kansas and...you know he's probably a pretty good choice for Nebraska to hire for a rebuild based off of nothing but that. e: Oh I missed that this was part of it quote:How about a candidate with Cornhusker roots and strong ties around the state? He was a Nebraska assistant from 2001-03, sandwiched around a decade at Nebraska-Omaha. He's just labeled vaguely as 'assistant' on wiki and I don't have any idea what he was actually doing, but these were the last Solich years.

Nebraska has deeper pockets and is in the big 10 -- a much higher perch than the big 12 is about to become. I wouldn't be shocked to see him leave, but I also expected it to happen the last two years and then it didn't. So I've turned into not really believing it until I see it. If he didn't bolt after ISU won the Fiesta Bowl in 2020, then I don't know what he's waiting for. I'm sure he had people banging down his door after that season. It's all rumors, but people think he's waiting for something like Wisconsin, ND, or OSU. I think he's an Ohio guy, so something closer to home is preferred. Obviously, OSU isn't opening up without something weird happening, but the other two could be on the table.

Have teams introduced an offensive coordinator mid-season? The only thing that gives me hope for Mizzou at this point is Eli Drinkwitz swallowing his pride and hiring someone who actually knows how to run an offense with the personnel they have instead of whatever it is he's been doing the past 3 seasons

Florida having two Hall of Fame coaches almost back-to-back has broken me. Bowden-to-Fisher at FSU probably had a similar impact on the Noles. I can't say I am not guilty of unreasonable expectations. But man it looks harder to make a course correction in Lincoln, NE. The post-Saban years in Tuscaloosa have the potential to be oh so toxic.
