The moment Kansas State grabbed for the Nebraska game plan: (of gaining a coach who has won a non-CFP national title at previous school)

 

 

right, except the coach was a former player from that state who had played and won a full sized national championship.....other than that exactly the same.

and @ztejas , you better stop using logic around here or you're gonna really fuck shit up.

With Mehringer possibly leaving to JMU, gonna have to snatch Beatty up quick

 

also, i think we should make a run at Harrell (yeah yeah, i know he doesnt run hermans “offense”)

Harrell is likely going to stay at UNT as the HCIW.

Does he want that, or a better OC job??

What if Bama, Tennessee, Colorado, Georgia Tech or TCU came calling??

Edited by LTtxfan

Yeah, I guess you're right, you do have a point.  I mean look at the growth of some of our receivers this year under Mehringer's tutelage.....hell LJH has blossomed into one of the best receivers in the country, you can't tell me a large part of that wasn't the expertise that Mehringer brought to the WR room.  I think he could be a great young leader as the head coach for an up and coming team, would be tough to see him go. 


IRC Merringer is the outside receivers coach. Is Merringer coaching slot? Either way Collin and Duv have both developed well this year.

that only makes sense if he can get an interim when the HC gets fired, which might be absolutely possible in Butches brain.

Just Curious..... Both Seth Littrell and Neal Brown got passed over for P5 Jobs.  Are they overrated, or did the right job not open for these guys??
 
Read several places that Neal Brown was thought to be a great fit at Louisville??
Personally, I'm still not sold on Littrell as a P5 Head Coach.

KState Folks Reportedly Not Happy & Fighting on Twitter:
 
 
This bears repeating. The Valley is *better* than C-USA West. Seth Littrell's won one division title, and UNT crapped it away this year. Klieman's won or shared the Valley title five straight years. Who's the "unqualified loser" here, again? Seriously, I'm confused.

@jonfmorse
The answer to your question is "none". Per Sagarin, the overall conference ranking of the Valley is right between the two C-USA divisions and ahead of the Sun Belt West. (link: https://twitter.com/ChuckJames919/status/1072322507590565888) twitter.com/ChuckJames919/…

Some people are really overrating Nebraska's future potential.

I thought Utah State was filled by their old coach, Gary Anderson.

Not official yet.

I suspect a gentle push out the door was involved with Mehringer as soon as it was clear Beaty was coming available.

Beaty has one "t". There is another coach named Beatty (Chris) who is WRs coach for Maryland right now.

The distinction is probably unnecessary, but I'm going to make it anyway, because that's just the way I roll.

LOGAN, Utah — Utah State University announced Sunday that former football coach Gary Andersen will be returning to the school as the head football coach.

USU’s Vice President and Director of Athletics John Hartwell said that Andersen, who was the football team’s head coach from 2009-12 will be the first of the 27 coaches in the school’s history to be head coach multiple times.

Huh? Enos has been a key component of the offensive success.

I suspect Enos is going to take the offense back to 1982.

Who do you think was the brains behind the offense last season. Locksley?

And Bama would still win

I've assumed it was some combo of Locksley (based on what he learned under Kiffin/Sark) and Gattis (based on what he brought from Franklin).  That's what the offense looks like to me.

It looks nothing like a Dan Enos offense.

Could be. I know that Enos is considered to be an excellent QB coach, so I assumed he was the playcaller too.

For what it's worth, Gattis is getting HC consideration at App State.

Like how? I don't see anyone in here claiming they are about to be a dynasty. 

Really not trying to have this discussion again, but I think 10 wins and division titles is completely reasonable for corn. The B10West isn't any better than the B12North was.

If you don't agree I assume you live under a large rock.

Um, cool I guess.

 

I don't think that any meaningful winning is in their future. There's just too many structural issues from geography to resources. If you think they might reach Iowa's level, then sure, but that's a pretty low level of success.

He was.

 

Edit: I'm good with the Enos promotion though, he is ideal for a high level pro style QB.

This is just getting pedantic at this point. I'm half a step from putting money on it and I'm not particularly high on their potential to reach actual contender status anytime soon.

Pedantic? I've made one comment on it. Given their challenges, I don't foresee Nebraska being more than mediocre from here on out. It's a completely reasonable opinion backed by the evidence. They barely crack the top 20 in revenue, even so-so teams like Oregon are way in front of them, and are crazy isolated from talent. The talent alone is a big issue, Michigan is a top three revenue team, and still can barely hang on to the top teams because of recruiting challenges.

This isn't some off the wall stuff man. And I'm not wading into any KSU debate.

You are attempting reasoned dialogue with a mouthbreathing rube. Just throw the guy on ignore and you'll improve both your own experiences on this board and the rest of our experiences on this thread.

No shit - I just told you I'm not high on their potential to reach contender status anytime soon.

You come here, claim "people are overrating Nebraska's future potential", and I ask who is doing that, and you shift the discussion to some analogy about Iowa.

I have maintained the same stance in this entire thread. You can go back and read the comments. Nebraska isn't hanging 3 nattys up in a decade again. If top 20 in revenue, attendance and recruiting is "mediocre" to you then we agree and that ends the discussion.

 

For anyone who likes Phil Longo... Mack putting together a hell of a staff.

 

 

Longo is meh.  He's been trying to get out of Oxford for months as they were probably going to let him go.

He had tons of talent on that offense and couldn't do anything against solid defenses.  Ran it up on sisters of the poor.

Uhhh... Couple things wrong with this statement:

-There are lots of other “southern programs” that have declined... Tennessee anyone?

-The 1990 GT Natty was kind of a perfect storm. They were HORRIBLE in the late 70’s and mid 80’s.

-Paul Johnson is the winningest (and longest tenured coach) at GT since Bobby Dodd. He won an ACC championship, made two orange bowls, and had lots of other big, top 10 wins. Things slowed a little bit the last few years but he still went 9-4 in 2016 and will likely go 8-5 this year. Definitely a future CFB HOFer.

I was careful to say 30 years, not 20.  UTe was just fine 20 years ago.  

PJ's marriage to the triple option ensured GTECH would be the KSU of the South, defining success as an occasional NY6 berth.

Eh, BC is kind of going to vacilate between 5-7 and 8-4 forever unless they get a generational talent like Matt Ryan. On the one hand, Addazio tends to stick to the higher end of that range. On the other, watching his offense is like watching paint dry.
