Bernie Masterson (1946–1947, 5-13-0, 0.250)
George Clark (1945 & 1948, 6-13-0, 0.316)
Bill Glassford (1949–1955, 31–35–3, 0.471)

Tom Osborne (1973–1997, 255-49-3, 0.836)
Frank Solich (1998–2003, 58-19, 0.753)
Bill Callahan (2004–2007, 27-22, 0.551)
Bo Pelini (2008–present, 30-12, 0.715)

A couple of things to take away from this
1) It is amazing that Nebraska's last 10 coaches stretch all the way back to 1946
2) There hasn't ever been a coach named Bill, or William for the matter, that has ever been worth a darn to coach at Nebraska.William G. Kline led Nebraska through the stunted 1918 season, managing a 2-3-1 (0.417) leaving Callahan as the only Bill or William to leave Nebraska with a winning record.​

And in this time period, KU has only one coach with a winning record, and that just barely.

All NU coaches since 1962 have a winning record.

Yay team.

What do I take away from it....Kansas is a basketball school....and Bill Callahan has a better winning percentage than any Kansas coach...

Glen Mason was the best tenure KU has sustained for a Head Coach during my lifetime. I realize his record wasn't quite as good as Mangino's, but Mason's teams were very solid towards the end of his time there in the early to mid 90's.

Charlie Weiss?? WOW. Kansas hasn't learned a damn thing. The AD should be FIRED for even interviewing the guy, much less alone hiring him. More losing for Kansas coming right up. :lol:

The most disgraceful hire of the year, even worse than UNM with Bob Davie, another ex-Notre Dame coach. UNC's interim coach would be a good choice and many others, including Carl. My guess is that KU has some of Mangino's old sweat suits and they fit Weiss.

Agreed... but the Weiss hire is even worse, the difference between Bob Davie and Charlie Weiss is that Davie was a very accomplished coach on his side of the ball... I mean I think you can expect that UNM will have a decent defense...
