So.....who ya gonna get?

I doubt Mendenhall would leave BYU at this point, all he has to do is win 8 games a year, they're independant now, and he's got full support from everyone.

Yeah, I forgot they were independent, lol. But money talks, you know? Can BYU realistically match what we can offer? I say no but if he gets a massive pay raise like to say 1.5 mil a year, I don't think we can pay him $2.5 mil a year. At that point, we'd have to really whip out the check book. I realistically can't see anyone we could really steal away from another school.

Im not happy either. There are some changes that need to be made. If Bo wins 9 again this year and gets the boot, who is your guy?

UNL fired a 9 win coach already and couldnt get anyone to take the job until you know who got fired for the dumpster fire in Oakland.

So. Miss fired a guy with 9 wins and look where they are. I dont know what the answer is. Just food for thought.

Not a Nebraska fan of course but I'd think it would be a real coup and great for your program if you could get Petersen from Boise. There were rumors Alvarez was trying to pull him to UW but obviously we couldn't pull it off or the rumors simply weren't true. I know he has no real ties to NU but I think he's a great coach who has probably peaked at what his school is capable of.

If that doesn't work just wait two years until BB is ready to ditch Arky.

I think that if Dantonio leaves MSU for anywhere it'll be for South Carolina (his Alma Mater) when Spurrier retires. Pat Fitzgerald would be great but I'm not sure if anything would make him leave Northwestern.

Who would want to come to a place where there is a snake in the grass waiting to destroy you? I think some big names would take a pass on that.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't BYU have a sh#t ton of money available if they really wanted to use it? BYU is owned and operated by the LDS church, which has quite a bit of wealth, and they took the football team independent for the purposes of exposure. If they felt that Mendenhall, or any other coach, was the key to furthering their mission, I bet they would pony up the dough to keep him.
