Only Alabama and Oregon -- first and second this week in the College Football Playoff rankings -- can match the Huskers in winning nine games each year since 2008. http://espn.go.com/college-football/sto ... -bo-peliniYou read an espn article, congrats. I'm telling you Nebraska isn't big on hiring someone they don't know. Yea it's possible it will happen again but they will be slow to go that route after Callahan debacle. Scott Frost is the front runner with Craig Bohl on the list (timing won't be right). But Turner will be mentioned if not called with another win or two.
Sly Fox wrote:The problem with Frost is that he has no head coaching experience and is an offensive guy. The biggest issue in Lincoln is the absence of Blackshirts from the program. If the firing was a year ago, Bohl would be the obvious choice. But he didn't exactly inspire confidence this season at Wyoming.Bo's only head coaching experience was a bowl game for Neb after Solich was fired so it's not unheard of in Neb and while the defense has been a problem our offense sure hasn't looked like Oregon's either.

But Turner will be mentioned if not called with another win or two.Turner Gill is not getting mentioned for Nebraska by any credible source. I have no doubt that he is in contact with powerful people at Nebraska and seeing where he is in relation to everyone else right now. But that doesn't mean that he is under consideration or will be under consideration for Nebraska.
Lincoln isn't the easiest place to recruit to and the same can be said of outside coaches. No one is mistaking it for Austin, Miami, or LA. If I was going to throw out a random outsider Greg Schiano.

But you bigger point of the expectations in Neb is valid which is why I think it ends up being someone with ties to the program. No one else qualified will want to deal with that stress.From the class of 09 wrote:You read an espn article, congrats. I'm telling you Nebraska isn't big on hiring someone they don't know.

The last two times that Nebraska hired someone they knew (Solich and Pelini), the administration undermined them internally, the fans attacked them, and both got run out of Lincoln. Some of the same things that Pelini said in the infamous taped conversation are being whispered by other coaches who know how Nebraska operates. Which is not good for a program that is looking for a great coach this offseason.

From the class of 09 wrote:If you think the fans attacked Solich your insane...that was 100% an AD drunk on power.You are right to say that there is a distinction between the fans/Solich and fans/Pelini relationships. But some of them did attack Solich. There is still proof of it on the Husker Board, other forums, and news outlets. It was not nearly to the extent or as divisive that Pelini was and it manifested itself in different ways. It was not a massive call for firing like it was with Pelini, but it did exist.

Personally, I would pick Bohl, but there are some conflicts that have not been resolved between Bohl and Nebraska. I think that those things will be too much to overcome. We shall see.
