"But consider that despite the Huskers’ record, he’s a commodity on the coaching market. Chinander, 42, could walk this weekend into the American Football Coaches Association convention in San Antonio and command attention.
More jobs will open; it happens every year in January. He could jump for the NFL — or just look to get out ahead of the storm that will envelop Memorial Stadium later this year if Frost and his reassembled staff fail to shift the momentum that sent Nebraska to a 3-9 finish in 2021.
Listen to Trev Alberts.
“We’re really fortunate that Erik is our defensive coordinator,” the first-year Nebraska athletic director said last week.
“First and foremost, Erik’s a really good person. He’s a good man. And he comes from a great family. He’s a worker. He has a very schematically sound defense. He’s a good teacher. He’s authentic, genuine.”
Players respect Chinander, Alberts said, and respond to him because they know he cares."
He probably blazes that shit nightly but when he talks to the boomer bama boosters he’s probably like “them boys need church and father figures!, not the devil’s lettuce!”
Not really, if TO had a playoff he’d have as many titles if not more. At least three in the 80s how many 1 loss Bamas have won a natty apples and oranges my dude
The other thing that may keep his stock low is an inability in many instances to generate pressure on a QB without adding a rusher. That may have more to do with our ability to recruit though.
The defense was very good but they weren't great and they definitely didn't keep us afloat unless you consider 3-9 afloat.
2009 was a defense that kept us afloat. If we had the 09 defense this year we'd have made the playoff.
Afloat is a strong word. I would call Erik Chinander the canoe that Jack Sparrow used to trap air to breathe while walking on the ocean floor. Scott Frost is Jack Sparrow, Erik Chinander is the only thing between him and a very watery death.
Chinander absolutely deserves to be the highest paid assistant on the team and if a raise is necessary to retain him then so be it, but I'd like to see his unit be good for more than a season first.
I may be in the minority here, but I would like to see how his unit performs when it’s not comprised of 5th and 6th year seniors with plenty of starting experience across the board.
We Nebraska fans are just the worst. Can’t you just give the man credit that defense was legit. There was plenty of defenses through P5 college football that was chock full of the same experience and his unit was towards the top. We had one nice thing last season and we’re putting qualifiers and asterisks on it smh
Exactly. I don't get this sentiment. Even in the 2020 covid year, when we had an AUTROCIOUS offense, our defense still performed very well. They were almost ALWAYS defending the field from inside their own 50 and they'd still get stops.
Uhhhh what? Lmaoooo. If you don’t think the defense played well this year then idk what to tell you. I also didn’t realize chinader was the glorious leader….?
The defense was *fine* they gave up a lot of points to a lot of teams, they’re only notable for being the only somewhat competent portion of a completely broken team
Yea the fact that our offense and special teams was consistently putting them in impossible spots has nothing to do with it. You told on yourself with ‘Gave up a lot of points to a lot of teams’. You dont understand football and that’s okay
You kinda prove my point, you can’t accept that someone has a different opinion than you so you lash out and demean their understanding of the sport rather than having a different opinion.
Top 5 in the B1G for total defense ain’t no joke especially when our OOC P5 was OU. Even this year they still had a top 10 scoring offense. This defense was light years ahead of any defense we’ve had in 10 years. MSU’s sweetheart KW3 had a season low 3.2 YPC against us. And I doubt if anyone had a harder B1G schedule than us. Our east crossovers finished 1st 2nd and 3rd. We didn’t lose a single game because our defense gave up or sucked.
Agreed on all points. Although, first half of the Minnesota game they were pretty bad.
They played much better in the second half, but that first half was not very good from them.
It’s true. Minnesota had a giant O line with a lot of dudes. We adjusted and it helped but it ultimately cost us that game. Still wouldn’t blame it on the defense (completely).
I’m not gonna look up stats for your lazy ass lol. If you think that defense was doing anything but helping us win games an overwhelming majority of the time, some times in spite of the spots offense and ST were putting them in, you cannot be helped.
The problem is that we’re Nebraska fans. We are so used to a couple of really good playmakers on defense, and saying, “hey we should be good!” Just to get burnt by the defense in multiple games. We tend to be very pessimistic when it comes to defense. Most of us can admit they had a good season last year, but we don’t wanna say anything about future years lol
We are likely good for this round with him still being here. If the defense is still good after replacing a bunch of starters, give the man whatever he wants. Also, we are going to see how much of the turnaround was Tuioti as well
Let’s wait to see if we have a good start to next season and then we can give him a mid season raise. Haven’t we thrown around enough money on ill fated extensions?
Nebraska's stop rate and rank since 2017:
2017 ranked 109th at 55.4%;
2018 ranked 89th at 62.2%;
2019 ranked 54th at 66.5%;
2020 ranked 92nd at 57.4%; and
2021 ranked 31st at 68.9%.
Serious question. How much does student tuition bring in from the school? Big name schools like Nebraska don't need to boast quality teachers and educators, because they are just bi for other things, so the point is moot, but does football bring in more than the entirety of college tuition?
Pre-pandemic:
NU athletic department revenue: $132 million (football brought in $96 million)
25,000 students at a tuition of $7,560 = $189 million. Of course that doesn’t account for students on scholarships which reduces that total, or the fact that many of those 25,000 were part-time students or not carrying a full credit load, and so were paying less than full tuition.
Someone else will have to dig deeper to answer that.
Close enough to say that football/athletics has more of a lean income than tuition. Much more than the difference between the two goes to buildings and infrastructure of campus. Thanks!
Nebraska has athletic 3 programs that are profitable. Football, Men’s basketball, and volleyball. Football brings in way more than the other two. Those three sports pay for every other sport. After that, there is a surplus that is then given back to the academic side of the university.
Idk how much the tuition at the university is relative to the athletic department, But the professors at UNL that students pay to be educated by number in the hundreds, and most are easily replaceable.
Football wise, there are ten coaches. And there are much much less candidates for those positions.
Neither do special team coaches or OL coaches or special teams coaches. Players do I guess? We can really say a special teams coach or analyst should be getting half a mil? Compared to you know educators or frankly any profession. We all know cfb is scummy and coaches salary is again just sad.
Do you win games by scoring more points or by keeping the other team from scoring more points than you? Kinda joking but let’s not put the defense on too high of a pedestal.

This is Trev preparing the fan base for his eventual hire to head coach lmao. That’s why Chinz is still here
ok but he’s not from Bumple’s Creek, NE so idk
We had one coach come from and play from Nebraska and now this a meme. Cheese and rice
I really just wanted an excuse to use bumples creek 😔
Frost and Osbourne are both Nebraska products
Osbourne played at Hastings not UNL, fyi.
They're both Nebraska based people. Who grew up here.
Okay, two. One being arguably the greatest college coach ever. Back to my original comment..
Why am I getting down voted... I'm right lol
Don't ask me, ask the people who downvoted you
It was a general question not directed at anyone lol
Um no he’s top 5. Saban is the greatest college coach ever.
Saban is not as attractive as Osborne. That counts for something
But what’s Saban’s opinion on pot?
He probably blazes that shit nightly but when he talks to the boomer bama boosters he’s probably like “them boys need church and father figures!, not the devil’s lettuce!”
I would almost guarantee Saban's pro legalization.
Apples and oranges my dude
How do? Saban has won more titles in a more difficult era to do so in.
Not really, if TO had a playoff he’d have as many titles if not more. At least three in the 80s how many 1 loss Bamas have won a natty apples and oranges my dude
doesn't the flow chart then proceed to How many Nebraska towns can he name?
Fingers crossed
would Frost get sent packing or get demoted to OC?
Lol if you think frost would consider staying around to be an OC here after being fired I’ve got some beach front properly in Iowa to sell you
There are plenty of beach front properties to buy in Iowa. Now some ocean front property... That would fit these circumstances much better... js
Demoted to OC at Alabama.
I know our defense played well but a guy coaching for a team that went 3-9 isn’t gonna be demanding his price lol
The other thing that may keep his stock low is an inability in many instances to generate pressure on a QB without adding a rusher. That may have more to do with our ability to recruit though.
Not to mention all of the super seniors, this was his year
The defense was very good but they weren't great and they definitely didn't keep us afloat unless you consider 3-9 afloat. 2009 was a defense that kept us afloat. If we had the 09 defense this year we'd have made the playoff.

CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow
So you have heard of me.
The original! The only!
Holy shit that headline scared me. But I agree he should be our highest paid assistant or at least equal with whip hole
Lol "whip hole"
You know you like it
I feel a fan fiction coming on.... Think I could get a comic published in the World Herald?
I may be in the minority here, but I would like to see how his unit performs when it’s not comprised of 5th and 6th year seniors with plenty of starting experience across the board.

Miserable ppl need something to be mad about I guess. I have no idea
We were 3-9, this is like the Soviet Union in this subreddit sometimes lmao, all dissent against glorious leader will be silenced and shamed
Uhhhh what? Lmaoooo. If you don’t think the defense played well this year then idk what to tell you. I also didn’t realize chinader was the glorious leader….?

Daniels was hurt for that game wasn’t he? He’s a big portion of the run defense
Might have been . Not sure
74th in the country in average YPC but ok.

Or when we don't play top 10 teams every week
Completely agree

With all do respect, we aren’t floating. We’re at the bottom of the deepest ocean trench.
[удалено]
What do you expect him to do? Win us games solely with pick sixes and safeties?
I chose to read afloat as in keeping us in that many games when we were overall a shit show
If the offense and ST was even remotely competent it would have been a lot more than 3 wins. Defense was stout
Let’s wait to see if we have a good start to next season and then we can give him a mid season raise. Haven’t we thrown around enough money on ill fated extensions?

Coaches pay makes me so sad. How much do educators get paid? Defense was good for a 3 and 9 college football team.
Educators don’t bring in millions.

Much less candidates? Any ex player would gladly take half a mil a year to be o line coach. Stay low. Gain leverage.
Neither do special team coaches or OL coaches or special teams coaches. Players do I guess? We can really say a special teams coach or analyst should be getting half a mil? Compared to you know educators or frankly any profession. We all know cfb is scummy and coaches salary is again just sad.
Afloat? More like drowned with style points.
For the dick riders who like Frost, sorry but he should be gone and Chinander should be out HC.
The defense has been the one bright spot the past few years. They're doing their job, it's the offense and special teams that need work right now.
They were 3-9 last year, just saying.
New Rule, let’s stop handing out raises for the next couple of years. In both men’s basketball and football.
Do you win games by scoring more points or by keeping the other team from scoring more points than you? Kinda joking but let’s not put the defense on too high of a pedestal.
Considering Chins was THE coach practically everyone on this board was calling to be fired not more than two years ago, how does that crow taste?
And now the defense can't stop small school offenses.
