Yes please. I wanted him promoted when we fired Pelini. Very good OC who functioned pretty well under extreme duress from his boss. Recruited Texas very well. I think he could have kept what Pelini had going. Very organized guy but not sure he would have been a good long term solution. I think he was too far from his natural recruiting base at CC.

Can we hire him as OC? His offenses made KU dangerous and made Tommy Armstrong and Taylor Martinez competent. Also our WRs got open. Helped make up for our defenses crumbling.

Technically he was the passing game coordinator at KU and I believe Fatgino called plays. Could be wrong.

Dang good catch. Your correct pretty good for a first time OC at the FBS level while here.

He did get demoted at Texas buttttt was very good at NC State.

I wasn’t a huge Beck fan, but I’ll give credit where credit is due on the numbers.I often thought that Taylor Martinez and Tommy Armstrong bailed him out a lot with their athleticism. I preferred Shawn Watson over Beck. I liked the spread system we ran in 2010.

We want the guy back who literally said “unfortunately there aren’t any drills to improve ball security” when he was here?
Have none of you noticed how you can win games by not turning the ball over likes it’s a contest to see who on the team can be the most careless with the pigskin?

Most pass plays with Tommy felt like YOLO balls. So fun to watch, while at the same time, nerve-wracking!

Why do people here continually have an infatuation with re-hiring former Nebraska coaches that never achieved the level of success they demanded at the time? What reason can there be to recycle these people that are seeking employment? It makes no sense.

Beck was one of the best RB recruiters for NU in the past 25 years. He was tremendous at identifying talent at the skill position.

The whole fanbase is poisoned with this nonsense. It’s maddening. I’ve never seen other fanbases like this. Wacky behavior

There is often times this weird idea that if they are from here or worked here that they must have some magical dust. That it will help them "understand" this place.

This place is easy to understand. Just win a lot of games. Nothing else is going to matter for the most part.

This is not iowa where us fans just want that #WinningSeason

Get to that "Iowa level" before exceeding it.

Getting there first should be a priority, correct?

You mean making a lame bowl game?

Yeah, NU did it.
I'm more referring to a longer term of winning and not constantly having so much coaching turnover.
Scapegoating assts every year only works short term.
Given the increasing number of B1G and SEC schools canning coaches with huge buyouts, I think MR gets 1-2 more years.

2 more minimum unless he puts up 4 wins or less. 3-4 years more likely.
