Nebraska Coaching list so far
- Thread starter WVUALLEN
- Start date
Leipold looks like the best candidate. Out of the P5 coaches listed, Nebraska would have to pay decent bucks for one of them to move, and I guess with B1G money, they could do so. Nebraska could have their pick of the G5 coaches, and each would move quickly to Nebraska, since none of them could afford a big salary.
Kansas just extended Lances contract, and honestly just like Steeleer said, that would be a moronic move. Lance actually addressed his goal is not to be jumping jobs every couple years, but we've heard that before and money talks, but Nebraska is or should be a hard pass..... for so many reasons.
Kansas plays Houston this week, so Im interested to see how they do vs Houston.... Did they blow their load vs WVU and show their entire playbook, we'll see.... It should be a good game tho. Houston does get the benefit of seeing the majority of their offense on tape now, so its not an apples to apples comp, but Id be lying if I didnt say I hope Kansas tappadatass
Troy, Jamey & Huff would probably consider it... Simply because the money would be so much better then what they are making now, but I think it will be hard for them to get a quality P5 HC there... In many ways, Nebraska is a tougher spot than WVU... Texas expectations with WV local talent...
Personally speaking, if I was a coach on the rise, I would rather coach Kansas(with nominal expectations) make $3m per year and turn the program around to at least be respectable and get something with a bit clearer path to success... a bit less restrictive.
Nebraska is not the same program it was 22+ years ago.... Kids alive now dont even know they use to be good. If the last BCS or major bowl win was in the 90's, your program is not on solid ground, no matter if you sell out every home game.... Sometimes a perfect storm of factors come together at the same time to make magic... Nebraska had a great run, but its over, and has been for a very long time. Dont get me wrong, every program experiences UP & DOWN cycles, but if your down cycle lasts longer than 20 years, than you're not the same program...

Coaches will leave if somebody offers to double their salary, regardless of what they may say otherwise, just as the common man would do.
