Kansas State 2000 Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 I have got two reports about the future of Nebraska head coach Frank Solich. One is that he will resign after the Colorado game or be fired outright. The other has him being "promoted" to assistant AD. Either way he is done as HC of Nebraska. EDIT - HE WAS FIRED!

Tommyknocker Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 As a lifetime Husker fan I hope your right. I really thought bringing in Cotton was going to move us in the right direction. My dumb a$$! Solich needs to take his old school offense and move on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kansas State 2000 Posted November 23, 2003 Author Share Posted November 23, 2003 Looks like now he may be forced to "Retire." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skilly Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 It's about Fkn time. Is there anybody left who still thinks that outdated option offense can win championships outside of the high school level? They have good atheletes----now they just need to put in a pro-style offense, recruit a real quarterback, switch Lord to tailback, and they'll be set. Anybody know of a good coach for hire? loco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffeeman Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Yeah, 9-3 record isn't good enough when the whole Big12 is now playing "Keep up with the Stoops", So they need someone with a knack for installing a great offense and mentoring young, talented QBs. Hmmmm.... Don't even THINK about our Norm Chow! He likes the beach and nice weather out here.... Besides, isn't there at least another couple of Stoops brothers looking for a HC gig??

Phat1 Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Don't be surprised to see Turner Gill or Bo Polini get the job. The Huskers like to promote from within. Also, Pitt's head coach has been mentioned since the A.D. used to work there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kansas State 2000 Posted December 3, 2003 Author Share Posted December 3, 2003 Al Saunders of the Chiefs is also getting a look as the new HC of NU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phat1 Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Monte Kiffin has now said he is interested in the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davearm Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I'm utterly indifferent toward who Nebraska chooses as its next football coach, although as an outsider I will say this: of the names mentioned above, none seem like a very good fit. As I understand, Turner Gill is a pretty good position coach, but would it work out well to have his first head coaching experience be such a high-profile one? And what kind of resume does Bo Pelini bring to the table? He's been at Nebraska for less than a year, and prior to that has almost exclusively NFL experience, IIRC. Kiffin and Saunders are longtime NFL assistants right? Are either of them familiar enough with the ins and outs of the college game to be equipped to handle the Nebraska job? To me anyway, those guys all seem doomed to anywhere from Solichesque mediocrity to utter failure. What Nebraska needs is a big-name college guy, with HC experience, well-established recruiting connections, and, ideally, Nebraska ties. (Just don't ask me who that person is!)

Purdue Pete Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I too am an outsider, but what I find amazing is the following: From 1973-1978 Tom Osbourne's 1st 6 years '73 9-2-1 '74 9-3 '75 10-2 Big 8 Co-Champ '76 9-3-1 '77 9-3 '78 9-3 Big 8 Co-Champ Overall 55-16-2 Compare to Frank Solich's 1st 6 years '98 9-4 '99 12-1 Big 12 Champ '00 10-2 '01 11-2 '02 7-7 '03 9-3 Overall 58-19 I don't see a big difference between the two. There are MANY Div-1 schools that would kill for a 58-19 record. Why all the hoopla ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffeeman Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 C'mon Purdue - the "hoopla" is because they play in the same conference as BStoops, and Solich is losing out on good recruits all over the place. Out here in L.A., impatient UCLA fans are ready to hang Karl Dorrell in just his first year because USC is kicking their ass... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffeeman Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 No, you haven't dragged it out KS2K, the Huskers have by making a painfully slow decision. But I also can't blame them for waiting until most of the top bowl games are done so they can talk to the top coaches. Sometimes its good to walk instead of run..

Kansas State 2000 Posted January 6, 2004 Author Share Posted January 6, 2004 Mike Zimmer, Dallas Cowboys Defense Coach, is going to be the new Nebraska coach according to local buzz around here. The NU boards are also abuzz with this news. Appearantly there was a leak from the Dallas Morning News. Big loss for Dallas if this is true.

davearm Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 This is becoming eerily reminiscent of the fiasco at North Carolina after Bill Guthridge retired (IIRC, or was he let go?) as hoops coach a few years ago. After being spurned by a bunch of big names (Larry Brown, Roy Williams, George Karl), the Tarheels settled on Matt Doherty. Just look how well that worked out.
