Official: Head Coach Search Thread

[penguinpower]

I have a feeling they will go to our past for our future.

No D or R cards are played in sports. Why politicize everything? Can't the sports pages (and the sports interwebs) be free from political tumult?

Could not agree more.

Can we please just pick somebody who has proven they can be a head coach?

No more learning on the job by coordinators, line coaches, reserve long snapper coaches, etc.

This from Football Scoop. Looks like Bo Pelini thing is legit. Interesting.....

The bad thing about getting Bo or any higher profile coach is the one and done thing. "IF" we'd get Bo or someone equal, I'd say they'll bolt for another job then YSU will be searching for another HC next year...  This might be the darw back on the selection.. the terms in the contract for how long they'll stay

Who Cares if its 1 or 2 years and done ?

It brings in high profile recruits potentially to play for him and could help fix the program and get it going in the right direction

If he brings in good OC and DC with him, one of these guys could be the next HC when he leaves. He might even bring the fans back to the game. We need a coach with HC experience.

This just happened at Western Kentucky where they had Bobby Petrino for 1 year and when he left his offensive coordinator (and former QB) Jeff Brohm became the new head coach

[ValleyTalk]

67-27 record as a head coach, good for a 71% winning percentage. He won at least 9 games in every season at Nebraska.

If this is legitimate, it is becoming more and more clear that it is, then this makes a ton of sense.

Plus, he would be a Mooney pipeline haha. None of those kids are leaving this area if he's head coach.

I really don't care.. Hopefully this hire is better than the last.

Can we make a feux pelini account if he becomes head coach and maybe he'll come out with a cat.  That has to be one of the funniest twitter accounts. 

[GOpenZ]

I believe the proper account would be titled..."YO Pelini"

Yes!

I doubt that he will come here.  This is another pipe dream.
