Steve Tinnell

he can turn them into a 7-8 win team

Ryan MacKay

He cant do much worse than Beckman

Kurtis Ramsey

The big 10 has some big time coaches. He will be able to recruit, he knows defense. It may take a couple years but they will be a force.

Stephen Douglas

For a defensive guru his Tampa defenses were relatively weak despite the fact the had top notch talent.

Jerry Williams

Good track record and will have a tough defense. Defense rules,

Stephen Douglas

Where does he have a good track record? One great season and one decent season in chicago a decade ago is not a good track record

NFL retread "name" coaches seldom do well in college FB. It's a different game.

Geraldo Boru Brew

He could never beat the Packers!

Stephen Douglas

He has very little enthusiasm for the offensive side of the ball, he tries the old philosophy of keeping the other team below 10 pts and beat them on field goals. He can not win at a high level, especially since he has lost his defensive touch

Because know the Huskers have a true chance to win now that Utah doesn't have they're coach.

Robert Lloyd

Go Big Red

Wade Williams

Yes, especially when you combine the upheaval this causes with a few of their opt outs and departures. It's one of the reasons bowl games just aren't the same anymore. The record might say we're playing the 15th ranked team, but in reality, we're playing what's left of it. Glorified scrimmage gm!
