Ok, So who goes ?
- Thread starter Lakewood Husker
- Start date
There goes the statue at Memorial Stadium and fans will forget Pederson unless if course Frost fails where ever he goes?
It would seem possible that today's recruits might be as familiar or more so with the coach of an undefeated, top 20 program as they are with the coach at a sub-500 former elite program.
Provided Frost is offered the job or takes it. WSU is going to be looking for a stiff statuesk QB because Falk is graduating. Gibbea could be the next great one, time will tell.
We might not have the best QB right away. It sure seems like a lot of posters are so concerned with not having the right QB as a reason not to go after the right coach. I don't recall so much concern firing the last guy because his QB's might not fit and he was at least winning 9+ a year.
Maybe easier to get Hawaiian kids to go to tropical Florida than NE

There's probably reasons he is there. I guess my counter would be why can Wazzu get them? Oregon? I get there is proximity on the west coast. But why is he willing to take a 12 hour flight to Orlando or whatever it is and not to Nebraska? Did Frost have that much better of a relationship? Why is Wisky's starting NG Polynesian? I just can't believe we weren't able to bring a single one in the first 3 years of a recruiting class with the relationships I thought were built.

The issue is Riley came in and this board had a large amount of posters saying he didn't have a clue on how to use TA correctly and never figured it out. So two years round peg into square hole at QB position and Riley was often hit hard on that. I am just spitballing here and that is will SF (if he would end up here) be given a pass on that because he does have three pocket passers.
Agreed. I think we should go after the best possible coach if that is the direction chosen. That said, flip flopping between pro style coaches and coaches who like a running QB hasn't treated us well.
I do find the debate about how long a new guy should get to install his system pretty interesting. I have a sneaky suspicion that Eichorst made that very promise to Riley, which would explain his process--which has been long term--change culture, change system, build for the future. Not a lot of JUCO's, etc. Husker fans just aren't that patient, not that any fan base with a history like ours should be patient.

if you're looking for a candidate i have one. Ruder is a STUD. 250 miles away from Lincoln. I'm biased because Jace is from my small hometown (proud Norton Bluejay here). I have been living in a consistent state of shock that NU has not been fawning all over this talented kid in their BACK YARD - seriously Norton is like 12 miles from the Nebraska Border. they're closer than Goodland, KS (where Brook Berringer came from) 4.46 40-time and built thick (his dad is a giant of a man as well). regardless of who is coaching at NU i wish that they would put on a full-court press for this Kid. but - to me - he seems like a dream fit for SF's offensive style.
i would love to know what @N2FL thinks of Jace Ruder
Yeah...odd. You hire the coach you want. The QB situation will have to work itself out. POB and/or Gebbia can do just fine under Frost. They may not be the prototype he seeks but they aren't Ryker Fyfe.
Obviously, the QB position is extremely important. However, in my humbler opinion, we have more pressing issues than the QB, starting with the line play.
Oh yeah? Did the Boise States, Hawaii's and Western Michigan's of the world have recruits knocking down their door after their top 20 seasons?
Would you say TA did "just fine" under Riley ?
not much worse than tanner Lee under Riley - - - maybe its not entirely a player fit issue
