Please tell me who you prefer that is more qualified for the position. Keep it realistic.

Nebraska has been utter garbage lately. Was surprised how good his record was there.

I would like to see someone like Jay Bateman or similar. Someone actually relevant and nominated for awards and on the way up.

We pay our assistants the highest $ in the country. There’s no reason we shouldn’t take the chance on a proven up and comer.

These people saying it would be a "meh" or wrong hire have absolutely no clue what they are talking about. They just want the young hire that make them feel good about themselves because he is a "young and fun" coach. I'd rather have an experienced coach that can light a fire under somebody. This site seems to be full of experts who are wrong the vast majority of the time.

Do you think it’s good for recruiting and the program in general to be replacing coordinators every other year?

Bo needs to go ahead and retire or stay where he’s at with the low pressure job, or maybe do analyst work. He’s not exactly a spring chicken anymore.

This place is out of control.

Bo Pelini started coaching in 1991. Dave Aranda started coaching in 1995.

Bo Pelini got his first DC job in 2003. Dave Aranda got his first DC job in 2005.

The next coordinator will not be making Aranda money. I promise you. I'll take the ALREADY PROVEN coach over some young dude that is supposedly up and coming. Give me the guy that I have actually seen results from. The guy that has built National Champion type defenses.

Welcome to 2020. Top athletes are about to start getting paid for their likeness. They have no desire to be yelled at or ridiculed, they want to be built up. This isn’t boot camp, it’s the best football program in the country.

Goodness. That is what you're banking on? Dont want Pelini because we don't want him to yell at the players for screwing up? Have you ever heard of Nick Saban? The head coach at Alabama. He yells quite a bit and his players love him. He also wins a national championship every other year.

I’m just hoping we hire somebody soon so I don’t have to keep seeing these threads across three different forums.

Saban, yeah I’ve heard of him. I don’t trust a single word coming out his mouth. We sort of had a good plan to pass him up ya know. Need to duplicate and build on that plan.

You may not trust him but he surely wins a lot. And has rings to prove it. If you think we passed him up just from one season, you are completely clueless. We beat him one time in 8 years. Wake up man.

We were running this guy out of town here at the end of 2007. And now we want him back??? 12+ years later?? This place is truly nuts.

Then again it seems the majority here wanted Aranda out most of the year too.


Personally I don’t want him back. I can’t imagine him being back. But if Coach O picks him and his defense is truly modernized for the 2020 college football attack, then so be it. I trust O to get it right.

in those 12 years, we’ve had 1 defense statistically better than Bo’s worst year here.

one.

Coach O was on the radio this morning with TBob and Jordy. He said Bo was an excellent DC at LSU and he has a lot of respect for him.

He also said they are taking their time to get the right hire. I think O will get it right.

Yes, that's what I mean. His record at Youngstown State has been pretty mediocre with one really good year (12-4). He was successful at Nebraska but obviously not by Nebraska standards at the time. TBH, his coaching stint at Nebraska was the last time they were nationally relevant (getting fired in 2014). He is a defensive minded coach and has had a lot of success. The question is whether his defensive coaching has grown and adapted to the more complex spread defenses that are coming in the SEC. Is he primed for success in this new era?

So he can pad his stats and roll out in 3 years? What part of replacing coordinators every few years do you think is good for a program/recruiting?

It’s who we are, time to embrace it. We’re a launching pad for greatness.

Ok, so no real answer to the question then? Didn't think so.

Not if we choose otherwise. Pelini, if hired, will add a bit of stability on that side of the ball for a little while. Not to mention his defenses at LSU were elite.

Didn't you say on the first page, that you were just going to shut up?
