2015 Coaching Carousel

Correct. Lets devalue the conference so we can be winners. Versus trying to fix our problems, growing, meeting and going toe to toe with the competition.

For example, 62-36 was a great victory. However it was mildly tainted for me because Dr. Tom was not on the sidelines to receive that beating. We won that day, in part, because the other team was fading from its glory.

Nebraska was undefeated and #1 in the country going into the last game of the season. They had the Heisman trophy winner as their QB. They played for the National championship that year. McCartney was long gone as well and Colorado was equally fading from it's glory. How is Colorado's dismantling of Nebraska in any way, shape or form tainted?

Pederson fired Solich, who had 9 wins, and replaced him with Callahan. Those 5 win seasons didnt sit well in Lincoln. Pederson made some elementary underhanded management mistake, went behind his boss or something, and it was good enough an exscuse and he was gone. But it was Callahan he was fired for. Dr. Tom was hired back to clean it up. He hired Bo.

With yesterday's home loss against Minnesota, I think the likelihood that Pelini is gone has increased. I thought the Huskers would win out - and thus his job would be safe. A loss at Iowa probably does him in.

Who do they replace him with? Thats nowhere near as attractive a job as it was when NU was playing games in Texas consistently...

Promote from within: Tim Beck

Get a rising star who fans love from the glory years: Scott Frost

Get a good head coach and alum who failed spectacularly when given a previous job at a high level school with far less institutional support and tradition: Turner Gill

Other than that, they may have to look at coordinators from other Big Ten schools such as Tom Herman or Pat Narduzzi. Like the Muschamp situation they may choose to shy away from a defensive minded guy and swing the search pendulum toward the offensive side of things, but as we saw from the Minnesota win their defense still has a serious problem closing out opponents.

I think a guy with previous school history like Craig Bohl is one of the absolute poorest choices for them. Too old to nurture the program into the next decade and beyond and just because he was the hot name when he was winning FCS championships does not mean he would do a great job when thrust back into a power conference. 62-36. Wait, let me correct myself and say I think he would be a great choice for them. :smile2:

Couldn't you argue they are failing with a guy who had connections to the good ol' days of Dr. Tom and Frankie Solich? If you want offense, why not call Sparkles? He'd take that gig.

I really believe Nebraska's new standard is 9-3. Things are different than they were 20 years ago. I don't think too many coaches would be able to do better there than Bo is doing now, and Bo's biggest problem is delivering soundbites that piss off the fans while they are having 3 and 4 loss seasons.

I simply do not think they are a team that, despite their gaudy number of Orange Bowl apperances, is going to attract the top of their list for head coaching candidates. Not in today's age of college football. They may have to look for the guy who gives them hometown consideration. Depends on what their boosters value, too.
 
Hate the domers, but you can't talk top 5 without them. If they lowered admissions to usc standards they'd be great nearly every year.
 
Pelini would need a couple days to land a job. Sign of a good coach. Hawk still doing HS play by play. Sign of a bad hire. Nebraska would be dumb to fire Bo. Gladly take him on the CU staff.

The same can be said for Mushchamp, but I can see why Florida would let him go.

Fair comparison. Agree the two are in different situations. Pelini has won 9 games six straight years (and will likely this year), where Muschamp has struggled when handed a golden goose. No doubt both would be hot commodity DC candidates (if not HC candidates).
 
Pelini as CU DC could be that shot in the arm we need to get over a few other teams. Would probably not stay for more than one or two years, but as long as he could turn around the defense and maybe get a few kids recruited, I'd be fine with that.

This is kind of ridiculous, though. I don't think Bo Peep is going anywhere for a while.
 
fyi - our coach moved up to #8 on the hot seat rankings. I hope he doesnt go anywhere, but 2-17 not very strong when your drawing a $2,500,000 pay check. What does Sparkles make at a "smaller school" where it is "harder to recruit"?

There hasn't been any indication that MM is in any kind of trouble. I don't know where the hot seat people get their info. Probably figure a guy who has two losing seasons in a row is automatically in trouble. I'd say MM is safe for another year, maybe even two years.
 
I predict Paul Rhodes out, then Hoke

Sparkles to uf
Harbaugh to um

edit: Paul Rhodes out would open the door for the BIG man himself Mangino in the drivers seat at isu
