I like the way you’re thinking.

Agree, I would almost call it "overkill" on the offensive side but we aren't seeing the results I would expect. I also always found it interesting that Chinander didn't coach a position group but when looking around it appears some other schools do that too.
I get what people are saying now, Frost and Verduzco basically do the QBs so two coaches for one job and then Beckton is the TE coach with no other responsibilities.

I don't mind having an OLB and ILB coach, but to your point, Chinander helps with LBs as well. I also agree that if you have just a QB or just a TE coach, one of those dudes needs to have another responsibility.
To your point, I think Frost can work with QB or WR because he did both at Oregon, so you could bring in an OC and let him coach what he's comfortable with. I just think QB is a little better/easier for the HC to have to do as well because it's the most important position and you have a ton of other responsibilities.
I totally agree with where you're going ***... also, that there's already proven "blueprints" out there that we could/should be following. In Healthcare (and other industries) we subscribe to the methodology of seeking out and following the "best evidence -based practice".
The only point that I don't necessarily agree with you is that there's, "...nowhere to go but up." Depending on the change that HSCF makes (or doesn't make), our ST's performance/results could actually stay where they were; meaning, no improvement and horrible.
But I still hold on to my belief that Frost can/will make changes (though perhaps not all of, or not quite significant enough... yet) to improve results.
One solution to special teams improvement is finding someone in the state of Nebraska who can kick the football into the end zone consistency. How hard can that be?

There's a dozen each year. We got one from Ord this year.
Reading this thread has really made me realize how inefficient the coaching setup is right now.
I have tried it and it harder than it looks lol. But I agree that's a good place to start. Sure do miss Alex Henry
we have two. ILB and OLB Because they are different positions. if we were running a 4-3 we would have a DL and DE coach instead of just DL. Think of OLB as the DE position.
Chinander may help, but he‘s not manning a full position group, nor should he be, IMO.
I thought I was the only one with that tattoo
So in your analysis, a coordinator shouldn't have an emphasis? Here we are talking about the offensive coordinator having an emphasis, but to you the defensive coordinator shouldn't?
Not necessarily. Coaches divide up staffs differently. 10 is better than 9. I wish they'd add another so it was 5 a side + an ST or RC role.
Some like to divide safeties and CB’s duties, or LB’s, or DT/DE, or tack TE or QB onto an OC.
I’m not saying one is better than another at this point either. What I’ve read is OLB and ILB are different enough in the 3-4 to warrant different position coaches. Experts can expound...
Despite the NCAA adding a 10th assistant in 2018, (& since Dewitt left last January) - somehow DONU doesn't have a ST assistant coach (only an analyst) - that needs to change.
ST's are very important, frankly had they been even average, the mood around here might even be slightly better - slightly might even be unrealistic as worrying, hand wringing & complaining is what this fan base does best.
& FWIW I tend to believe it will sort itself out when all is said & done.

Interesting choices-of course we are all speculating IF he leaves. How about Beckton at WR coach-ala' at UCF couple of times. (though with coaching changes down there-wonder if there is any chance he goes back home? Any chance at head coach?-I believe he is fiercely loyal to HCSF but could be overstating)
I'm wondering if the Frost going to work individually with AM-but he stated on turnovers, is a plan down the road is to do what you say with the QB room?
Think Snyder would make a change after 1 year? Don't think he has ever coached T.E., has he? Out of many loops but liked the Dan Jackson intro-local guy it looks like. But as far as recruiting nationally not sure of his reach. He seems to have some experience in DB? I look long term and wonder how long Fisher will stay-not for unhappiness but other teams have and will continue to call. (I'm still a little surprised that mullen didn't consider Fisher when he shook up the Gator secondary coaches)
And going one further, with UCF open-do they look at Chins? who in turn may raid the cupboard with former Knights? Though the knights may decide Randy Shannon is a good fit.
Unfortunately, though looks like with no staff changes without need (like one leaving) all of this is a fun and moot conversations. BUT if Lubick does leave-it may offer the opportunity for some shuffling of duties that could bring about some of these interesting possibilities.
And maybe if they go the snyder route the correct way-(as you inserted into another thread) Snyder can find the kids and grand kids of one of the Grammaticas? Surely with the lineage there, there is one kicking the ball around somewhere.
