Nebraska 2018 Season Thread

I wonder what it would cost for UNL to nab Stanford's AD, Muir, and he brings the coach with.

That would be something.

[Entropy]

Trev Alberts wouldn't surprise me too much

that won't happen.  He's burned too many bridges in Omaha.
Don't be surprised to see Dave Remington's name in the mix.

One of TO's players tweeted at one of Bo's players that if they played better, Bo would never have been fired.  LOL

Oh the ex-players are as divided as the fans.

Chip. Go big or go home. They need to make it happen.

I'd rather have Shaw.

Does Chip have a show-cause from his recruiting mischief?

[Entropy]

chip is not a good fit for Lincoln

[847badgerfan]

Agree.

I wouldn't.

Kelly built Oregon into a power basically from the ground up.

Shaw inherited a program that was firing on all cylinders and he also inherited the best NFL QB prospect in like 30 years- since Elway according to NFL Scouts. The culture there- the foundation there- all laid for him. Stanford was a wasteland that suddenly became THE place where kids who wanted a degree but were also good at football happened to go. That place wasn't always like that. I feel like Luck and then McCaffrey kept that ship afloat- now it's starting to sink. This is more the real David Shaw. There's nothing exceptional about him.

Shaw runs a pro-style offense. Nebraska isn't going to out-recruit people for pro-style offensive skill. Kelly's offense is the ultimate equalizer. Nebraska needs to go back to what made them truly special. Those option offenses in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Kelly is that style of offense modernized and on steroids. He is the only way to go IMO. Nebraska is in the same position Michigan was in. They NEED a home-run, slam dunk. That's Chip Kelly and only Chip Kelly.

[Entropy]

btw.. UNL probably will hire Trev because he's a Nebraska guy, played for TO and all the anger towards him in Omaha will be forgotten.  He'll be the savior despite bankrupting UNO.   That would fit the over swinging of the pendulum UNL likes to do..

[Entropy]

It'll be a Nebraska guy AD and a Nebraska guy coach... jmo

[Brutus Buckeye]

Nebraska with Trev Alberts would become really fun to hate.

[bayareabadger]

I wouldn't.

I'll probably rant on candidates/style in another post, but Mdot, f'real?

Kelly replaced a 116-55 coach who went 17-8 the two years before Kelly was an assistant and 19-7 in those two years with him. Oregon had three losing seasons from 1989-2008, one after 1993.  That team had nearly unparalleled stability, and a decent chunk of his staff or hold over from the previous guy.

From the ground up? Really?

Um,no Mike Belloti led the Ducks to 4 - 10 win seasons('00,'01,'05,'08).Finishing 11-1 and ranked no 2 in both polls in 2001.Took UO to 12 Bowls,he was the wild card that added splash to the Uni's.His 2007 team beat #6 ASU,#9USC and Mich in AA.Just sayin'

Chit just saw BAB's post

Nebraska appears to be where Michigan was at 3 years ago when Dave Brandon finally got fired (and his subsequent company, Toys R Us went bankrupt this week, too, of course). The main difference is that Pelini was actually successful despite his personality. I never thought Riley was the answer, but like Hoke, I thought he'd do better than he has.

I don't know the whole story on Alberts, but he did bring UNO to D1 for all sports the hockey program into the NCHC. They lost out to IUPUI in this summer's realignment (Wichita State to the American / Valparaiso to the MVC / IUPUI to the Horizon), but supposedly the Horizon League is going to expand further, so they're probably in a good position there compared to the other Summit League schools). I'll be interested to see what happens.
