"run the Damn Fullback" would work

Sounds like Matt Campbell, Lance Leipold and Bill O'Brien comprise the shortlist.



I would note hire Campbell. The other two are great coaches.

not a bad list

I'm not overly impressed with Campbell, but ya never know.

When it comes to the Nebraska football head coaching job, some names have been floated more than others. There are reportedly some names that are seeing more interest inside the program more than others as well. And according to at least one insider, there’s a name that’s separating itself from the pack when it comes to Dave Aranda.

Earlier this week, Parker Thune, who covers the Oklahoma Sooners for 247Sports, voiced what he claims he’s been hearing from people close to the Nebraska football program. What he’s heard is that Dave Aranda is right at the top of the list among those who have decision-making powers.


“I think Leipold SHOULD be the guy,” Thune wrote on Twitter. “That said, I’ve spoken to a few sources in the 402 — and I would watch Dave Aranda here as well. It won’t be an easy thing to pry him away from Baylor, but there is some buzz behind the scenes that the Huskers will push hard to do just that.”

The argument here of course is that while Aranda won’t be easy to pry away from Baylor, the Nebraska football team has the resources to do it. There’s the money of course. The Big Ten just inked a massive media rights deal that begins next year.

Nebraska will be working with an outside search firm, Collegiate Sports Associates, to find the program’s next head coach, athletic director Trev Alberts said.

Should just call King Barry.

He IS the search committee (as he once so stated). F'd up the Andersen hire though. Shoulda saw through the lies.

The good thing about Campbell is that his inability to win rivalry games won't come into play often, with OU-Nebraska just wrapping up their once per decade series.

You just answered your own question. Hahaha

I'd guess Trev has Barry's number
they have that Blackshirt Linebacker bond

I think hiring Bill O'Brien would be the kind thing to do.  Iowa State & Kansas fans will be happy to keep their coach, while Bama fans will be happy to lose their OC.

I thought what BoB did at PSU was nothing short of amazing. That program could have become a dumpster fire.

He just pulled one out over Brian Ferentz
I'd guess he's got at least one win over any rival in the 12
