Again... Who is taking this job right now?

Maybe Alberts hired the OC (Mark Whipple) to be the replacement. 

Maybe.

The guy did well at Pitt as the OC there, and it can be argued that this move was less than lateral given the state of each program today. Pitt won the ACC. He also coached UMass (!) to a 1-AA national championship as a head coach. Lots of NFL experience.

Sure, he's a little long in the tooth, but this could be a way to stabilize the program with an eye on the next guy in 2-3 years.

Maybe.

You know it's bad when the Big Sky is "balls to the face" dunking on you.

I'm sure the AD is facing a lot of pressure, but I "THINK" the best thing to do right now is nothing.

Whipple could simply hold the job until the end of the season

many Husker fans are enamored with Mickey Joseph, but with no head coaching experience

Nebraska football: 3 potential replacements for Scott Frost

https://saturdayblitz.com/2022/08/27/nebraska-football-potential-replacements-scott-frost/2/

3. Luke Fickell, Cincinnati head coach

To me, this would make a lot of sense because Luke Fickell has the feel of a Big Ten guy.

2. Matt Campbell, Iowa State head coach

Another guy who I believe would be a glove-like fit with Nebraska is Matt Campbell.

1. Mark Stoops, Kentucky head coach

The third coach on this list with roots in Ohio, Mark Stoops would be a dream-like hire for Nebraska.

May be an image of 1 person and text that says 'Have you or a loved one been affected by a 1-score Nebraska football loss? If so, you may be entitled to financial compensation.'

You'll have to take a gamble on someone who gets big eyes. 

I think the guy at coastal would be good, if not for the regional thing. Does NDSU have a guy right now?

Whipple, last time he was an HC, 16-42, albeit as a horrible job. With no area ties, that's a TOUGH sell.

I'm pretty sure the main thing for UNL is recruiting, and the next HC should be someone who can at least recruit top 15.  I don't know if that is possible now.

Nebraska had two top five recruiting classes in the entire nineties... 96 and 97 iirc.  Both 5/6 ranking... both because key five stars a d not composites..

Nebraska needs to return to what mapped them and what made them great.  They were the only school accommodating unknown players because of system.  Well, the only one that mattered.  

Now they're competing with everyone for the flavor of the day system, and... that ain't working for them.

The Huskers can do the same thing that Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesoota do.

They are recruiting as well as those programs

Stock up on the big farm boys in the trenches

run the football and stop the run

develop what talent they get and play fundamentally sound

no, if they want to go with an offense with more QB run game like Pelini, that's fine.  Triple option or not.

would a gimmick offense work?  any offense works if talent is acquired and it's coached properly.  A gimmick that requires opposing D-coordinators fits would be fine, but it's not needed

to win games the formula is clear and has been for decades - own the LOS, block and tackle, know your assignments, limit mistakes, play with discipline, be tough, out hit your opponent

this is how the West is won

once a program gets to the point they can win the division, tweaks can be made to try to clear the next hurdle

no sense trying to beat Ohio St., Bama and the top 5 before you can win your division

A lot of people thought we fired RC Slocum and Fran because they couldn’t beat OU and UT. Not true at all. They couldn’t consistently beat Tech, Missouri, Ok State, you know the other 9 teams in the conference. The same ones we always out recruited.  

Ultimately, when you don’t have better athletes than your competitors, you usually won’t win 80% of the time. No matter how good your coaches are. So you have to play a different kind of game, and recruit the best athletes to fit your system, no matter what it is. Leach at Tech is a shining example of this. They haven’t done shit since he left, because they’re hiring coaches who play traditional, old fashioned football like Tommy Tubberville, and I really couldn’t name the next few coaches.

I think it’s not the recruiting. It’s absolutely on the coaches not being able to coach up the guys they get sure if you get 5 star kids it’s easier but that is not happening in Lincoln 
Their only chance is finding a coach that can put together a staff that can teach football better than the kids already know… that is not Frost

sure as hell haven't found an O-line coach

that was my main focus Saturday, O-line play

if they would have had a few more breaks and somehow won a one score game, I'd still be very unhappy with the O-line play and the lack of QB pressure by the Blackshirts
