Yeah. Everybody is just guessing what is happening. Trev has done a good job of keeping it tight lipped. Will be interesting to see who it does end up being

Really hope it's a big name out of left field. He does seem to know what he's doing which makes these leaks seem off. 

It's like they are soldiers or something....

The fact that its being narrowed down to Leipold or Monken makes me want to cry  

Where is this? I , too, join you in tears. 

If you are going this route, give it to Chadwell 

It is fully possible that Trev took care of his own by letting Frost go when he did. 

It also is a sign of BDE in the Athletic Department not messing around 

If it's not Rhule. Gonna be weird

Who is bringing Fran???

Rhule 

Fully expect the DC he brings to be Fran Brown from Georgia.

No, we can not agree. The right coach does not need 4 years.

This isn't the SEC. They would surely get that amount of time to get 100 percent of their players in

Can we all agree this is not an overwhelmingly attractive cycle of coaches?

Any coach you hire that is not Mickey would need 4 years to get things on track. Mickey could reasonably be gone in 2 if it doesn't work out. Wait for more coaches to develop or shake loose over the next two years, the conference likely strengthens even more, the new facility is open. And we would not be debating taking guys from Kansas, Kentucky, and Army. 

After all the ex Husker bs over the last 5 years, nothing builds confidence like a former player hiring another former player. 

I'm not sure if Husker Nation will be prepared for how bad the team will be Rhule's first year. He's a builder. And from the lines out. They will play hard but they will most likely win 4 total games. With how this season is going. That would be tough

Funny how Callahan can get a tip that Mickey's representation has reached out to ASU, but he can't get any news about what coach's agents have reached out to NU.

This media, man. Mitch was on the radio and you could just tell how he was watching what he was saying as not to offend anyone. All college sports journalists are not like this

The SEC West is no cakewalk... not to mention the MS salary cap, family ties to Nebraska, our resources/$ for coordinators/fan support/NIL

Kiffin is not the type to run. He's 8-1. They have a shot to seriously beat Bama next time up. 

Ole Miss is a better job than Nebraska

he’s also my top choice at the moment, because I think we actually have a shot w/ him 

Serious question, why do you think that? 

You really think Kiffin is complaining in public for anything other than a raise, to get more resources, and to stand up for his players? He's politicking. Ole Miss had NIL before it even legally existed. 

Tear this thing down, people. What are you trying to save?

Roll the dice on Deion or Jamey Chadwell. I loved Matt Campbell in the beginning but this is bad, folks. Really bad. Need someone to grow with this dead program. 

Just run gimmicks for the rest of the year. All wildcat. Never punt. End this nightmare

Does Deion have that much of a ego that he would welcome the challenge.

Yes. He says as much in that interview

I dunno. He seems like he's got IT. 

Again, someone is going to have a really fun next few years when they hire him this off-season

Good interview. He's doing a lot of good things...

 

Someone will hire him this off-season. 

They will then get likely their best recruiting class in years. 

They will go into next season a story every week they play

It's unclear if NU has the guts to be that place or if he will win. But it's hard to believe he will not leave the place better than when we comes.

Call me concerned as well. He’s never played in the B1G or SEC which replicate the NFL more where he just struggled. Does he even get us inroads to TX when he seems his roots are in the northeast. What top coaches or recruiters would he bring?

I don’t get the fascination with Rhule. I know he did good things at Baylor and another stop but those were only one or two year stops that isn’t enough for me to say he’s the guy. Sounds like a jumper to me once things get hard for him he folds like a deck of cards 

I mean absolutely no disrespect, but I think you may be confused on who Matt Rhule is. 

He took a program that was so bad and poorly run that it was kicked into the independents and highly recommended to fold to 10 wins, a conference title, and then left the cupboard stocked for another title game while getting two zero star players' names called on the first day of the draft. 

He then went to Waco with sanctions coming out of his ears and less scholarship players than he has seats in his car and got them ranked, once again leaving the culture stocked with more players for Aranda.

He also vowed to never recruit the player factories like IMG while in Texas. Making this Yankee one of the most popular coaches in the state.

He's good. Really good 

It's understandable that most in NE don't really know much about Rhule, but he's one of the best developers of talent in recent memory. 

He's an incredible coach and will get another shot at a really great job. Auburn seems like it would be a good fit.

Whipple seems like a project at this point.

He seems like he's a candidate to walk out mid game like Antonio Brown

Bad cell coverage is a real trip! My fault y'all!
