So they prioritize acquiring top transfers at the expense of high school recruiting suffering somewhat. It doesn't have quite the same stigma as going heavy on the JUCO players.

Replace all numbers on the field with Big Red wearing a jersey with said number. Basically just cover the field in Big Reds

I've got a treat for you late night watchers. NDSU travels to Arizona for a 10pm (Central time) game. I know Arizona probably plays a bunch of late games but it's pretty smart of them to schedule it that late because NDSU almost always kicks off at noon.

I think people tend to forget a couple of things about the firing of Frank Solich from Nebraska. He took over a program that went 60-3 over five years. Then: 9-4 12-1 10-2 11-2 ... Eric Crouch and the rest of Tom Osborne's recruits are pretty much all gone at this point... 7-7 9-3 He probably should have been shown the door after the 7-7 season. Over the last two games of the 2001 season and the entire 2002 season, Nebraska was 7-9 with losses: 36-62 to Colorado 14-37 to Miami, in a game Miami could have named its score 7-40 to Penn State 14-36 to Iowa State 21-24 to Oklahoma State 24-27 to Texas 13-49 to Kansas State 13-28 to Colorado 23-27 to Ole Miss Then in Solich's final season in Lincoln, the three losses were: 24-41 to Missouri 7-31 to Texas 9-38 to Kansas State Between the tail end of the 2001 season and the 2002 season (16 games total) Nebraska lost six games by at least two touchdowns. That should have been the end of the Solich era at Nebraska. But the otherwise competent athletic director at the time was planning a move to College Station, Texas and didn't pull the trigger. The other thing I think a lot of people that don't follow Nebraska football closely forget is that a couple years after getting the axe at Nebraska: quote:In 2005, police in Athens, Ohio found Solich passed out behind the wheel of his car, facing the wrong direction on a one-way street. Solich was convicted of drunken driving, resulting in a $250 fine and driver's license suspension.[7] He attempted to fight this based on testing that revealed the "date rape" drug GHB in his system. His attempt to withdraw his plea failed. The only reason Frost didn't get fired last year is because the losses were close. I think most Nebraska fans are willing to accept losses as long as the games are competitive and the program isn't embarrassing. Pelini couldn't do either of those things. The losses tended to be embarassing: 2009 7-9 Iowa State, 0-8 turnover margin, four turnovers inside the ISU five yard line 2011 17-48 to Russell Wilson Wisconsin in the first-ever Big Ten conference game 2011 17-45 to Michigan 2011 13-30 to South Carolina in the Citrus Bowl 2012 30-36 UCLA the defensive-guru-Pelini-led defense gave up 653 total yards 2012 38-63 to Ohio State D-FENCE! 2012 31-70 Big Ten Championship Game against third-in-the-East-Division Wisconsin 2012 31-45 to Georgia in another Citrus Bowl 2013 21-41 to UCLA, who scored 31 unanswered points to finish the game 2013 23-34 to Minnesota... first loss to the Gophers since 1960 (16 straight) 2013 28-41 to Michigan State (five turnovers, a Pelini staple it seemed like) 2013 17-38 to Iowa 2014 24-59 Wisconsin game where Melvin Gordon went apeshit for over 400 yards rushing). That 2013 season also featured the first tape leak where Pelini expressed a strong desire to leave Nebraska and a dislike of the fan base. Pelini also gave an extremely rude halftime interview during the Iowa game and dared the AD to fire him after the game. Pelini also had a habit of answering any critical question with something to the tune of "you saw it, what do you think?". You can be a dick like that when you're winning big games. Nebraska wasn't at this point. Pelini's time in Lincoln should have been over after the 2013 regular season. The AD had ammunition in Pelini's abrasive attitude, the declining on-field product, and the leaked recording. I think the public and the media would have accepted it much more readily than they did after the 2014 season. That season included a feel-good win over Miami, a close loss to a then-top-ten Michigan State, and a win over Iowa to close out the regular season. The firing immediately after that game was a head-scratcher, and the decision to replace Pelini with inexplicable #1 target Mike Riley after was really strange. Under a series of coaches that could be called flawed individuals or total dipshits, Nebraska has consistently brought in higher-ranked recruiting classes than the other teams in its division. If the AD can find the right coach I think it is reasonable to expect to consistently contend for the Big Ten west (as it has been since 2011, the calculus here changes after California expansion). The new factor is NIL, and I think Nebraska is at a minimum competitive with other teams in the division on this front, even with recent dogshit product on the field. Another Frost tidbit: in over four years in Lincoln, he lost every single game where he faced a coach in his first year at the school. Frost lost to first-year head coach Mel Tucker TWICE, once at Colorado and again at Michigan State. I think Nebraska will try to get: Urban Meyer Dave Aranda at Baylor The Kentucky Stoops brother, who might be looking to run a program that isn't in basketball's shadow Chris Klieman at Kansas State Matt Campbell at Iowa State (though the shine is off the apple a bit in this case) I think Nebraska will try to avoid: any hot coordinator that hasn't been a P5 head coach any hot G5 coach (sorry Jamey Chadwell) Lance Leipold (the last guy Nebraska hired after one lighting in a bottle season didn't work out so well) please god don't hire Craig Bohl I think Nebraska should strongly consider Bill O'Brien. He has experience taking over a Big Ten program in extreme distress and righting the ship. He can sell that "develop you for the NFL" concept. It really is too bad that Joe Moglia (head coach and architect of Coastal Carolina's football program before Jamey Chadwell) isn't healthy enough to take the Nebraska job. He re-launched his coaching there under Bo Pelini after stepping down as CEO of Ameritrade. The term CEO coach is thrown around a lot, but this dude actually was a CEO.

Somehow none of those Nebraska losses include the 2016 Ohio State game that ended up 62-3. I was excited to see Ohio State play a good team at home because I’d only ever seen them play MAC teams or Indiana. Spending around $300 on that between ticket, Uber home afterwards, and beer was enough to put me off live sporting events for a long time.

My thing with Solich is that he left Nebraska, went to a middling MAC team, coached there forever, did OK and retired.....all while, if memory serves, never really being a top target for any other P5 jobs? Am I missing one? Hey, if paddling around the small pond works for you, then by all means do it, but obviously Nebraska circa 2003 was looking for a guy with more oomph than that.

Yeah, but firing him to hire the guy that the Raiders openly rebelled against and in the only time I can remember the press and fans were totally on the team's side while it was happening was certainly a choice though. Charles Woodson was like 'gently caress this guy I am not playing for him' and Nebraska sees this and thinks, 'That's our man!'

That's an epic mega post and you'll look like a prophet if the next Nebraska coach turns things around. I have to say, though, I chuckled at how it wrapped up with a pitch for BoB.

It can't just be anyone, that coaching needs to be from a place with high expectations and a prouder history than Lincoln. At minimum, more national championships. If you like a coach who was hired at Florida, FSU, Texas, Texas A&M, UNC, Minnesota, and Mississippi State, Deion's got the perfect coach for you. The only remaining question is How do you like your chili?
