"Might struggle to" is quite a ways from a "pipe dream."
I really don’t want to get into a back and forth about the verbiage. You’re right in the 30 seconds it took me to write the post I could have used better terms. My point is/was Jeff Sims might just be the guy he was at GT. Sometimes a change of scenery doesn’t help.

I mean ... I wasn't sold on him before and less so now.
But he's been better than 1:1 each of the last two years. So calling it a "pipe dream" is pretty over-dramatic.
17/10 in the ACC, but not being a homer - the secondary’s in the ACC are not the same as the B1G. ACC has had 4 4000 yrd passers the last 2 years. Good QBs pick that league apart. Maybe slightly dramatic, but he might struggle reaching that 1:1 ratio playing a full B1G schedule.

Sims career to date against FBS teams. 7-18 record, offense averages 22 points/game.
He’s scored 42 TD and turned the ball over 33 times. And that was in the ACC.
Expecting him to be more than a 15 TD/15 INT guy, with a decent ground game, seems like pipe dream.- 2

To make matters worse, we’re paying Satt a top 5 OC Salary, 1.4 Mil. Really hope we’re not just paying Rhule’s buddies. 1.4 mil could have bought us a hell of an up and coming OC.

Offense is gonna be a a “Year 0” type of experience all season. Satt had shown flashes of good and flashes of bad. Then you surrounded him with an offensive staff who has very little experience at this level (Most Experienced is Martin who was a HS OC last year). We opted for the grow and develop route, as opposed to the “win-now” type of staff that Wisconsin put together.

Lotta season left. So far looks exactly like last season.

Maybe Donnie could be a decent OL coach. I also don't think he's brought in one out of state recruit since he's been here - I'm skeptical he can upgrade the talent in that room, which is obviously an issue.

OL is silent so far? This would be my top priority now that OC is dialed in.
We just offered an OL grad transfer, he tagged Rhule and Raiola. Theres a chance Raiola is retained...

Curious, I have never seen that quoted anywhere. When did he say that? What I found was he almost left for Michigan St but his family didn’t want that culture at the time which was a mess because of the scandal. He also turned down the opportunity for great jobs because his team was in the playoffs and the timing wasn’t right. I don’t blame him for seeing that one through.
Ohio St is his dream job for obvious reasons, that's no secret. ND because how important his Catholic faith is to him. I was speculating that maybe he would consider another midwest blue blood.
-
Maybe Fickell realized OSU and ND have coaches that are doing well and are younger than him - so his chances at a midwest historical blue blood are few and far between. Come on Fick.

Monken is a fantastic coach. The risk is coaching at Nebraska is nothing like either of his HC jobs, massive risk. Might take time for him to figure out coaching a B1G school, recruiting at a B1G school...people are not going to be very patient.

Yeah I hear you. Like him but he’s not moving any needles. He’s a hope and a prayer type. So we’re down to Urban or Deion? Works for meMy gut says Deion holds out for a P5 job in the south, Urban holds out for a P5 job where 5-stars line up to play. I still think Aranda is in play, which I would be more than happy with.

I think Bob Stoops is done. Urban and Petersen, if they want to coach again, why not NU? Deion, yeah he takes P5 level resources all day. He’s on record saying that. His kid can come with him and start immediately and have a better heisman shot. Rhule is probably landing somewhere.Sorry, but until I see otherwise, I think we have a shot to make a splash hire. And we need one badly. A lot of people around here don’t think we need one, but they’re delusional.
Agree on the rest. Lateral move or worse for most of them. I wouldn’t sleep on Chadwell either though.
Chadwell won't get a lot of love because: Gof5, offensive mind with a great QB - the wounds are too fresh. But I like the guy too.

Or coordinators. For example, would a guy like Grinch come here? He makes $1.08 million at USC. Walters in year 2 has been impressive at Illinois, but some say he will go to CU.
With the bolded, if we can't get "that guy", I still like Chadwell. Need a solid DC though.
Yep Coordinators too. Chadwell was my first thought on an example of a guy that couldn't say no if we called.

You don’t think at least one of them takes a huge pay raise? I do. I think there’s a a handful of names who can save this thing and I think one of them takes the offer.
Do guys like Stoops, Peterson, Urban and Prime need a huge pay raise? Urban gets 10 mil a year to sit a FOX desk. Peterson and Stoops got out of the game for a reason and aren't hurting for money. Deion is coaching his kid and is already worth millions. Guys like Kiffin, Aranda, Mark Stoops, Gundy - maybe we could get them a slight raise but their schools will get close to matching. The only guys getting a huge pay raise to come here are Gof5 coaches.

Why do you think Mickey would or could hire stud coordinators?
I think he's connected, I think he has the type of personality that elite guys would want to work with, and I think we would have enough money to pay for elite guys. Mickey isn't my top choice...but if its gonna be him or guys like Campbell or Leipold who have major liabilities on their staff that I guarantee they'll bring to Lincoln - give me Mickey.

I still like Mickey. I think Mickey will recruit well and hire stud coordinators. I think guys like Klieman, Campbell and Leipold will hire buddies and hope it works - like they always have.

Coaches are wired differently, but I would have no desire to jump back into the game, especially since when he last coached CFB the portal and NIL weren't things.
McElroy of ESPN says there is a small list of jobs Rhule would consider and none are currently open. He thinks Rhule will be on TV next year. So you might be spot on…

I really haven't entertained the mickey talk too much, because it seems unlikely, but say we go 6-6 or 7-5. That would mean Mickey went 5-3 or 6-2 in the B1G. All I hear in regards to the coaching search is, we need someone that can win in the B1G...wouldn't that vault him above a Lance Leipold or Matt Campbell who are going to 4-5 5-4, 6-3 type coaches in the big 12 this year?

How do people feel about Leipold? Nebraska Twitter seemed to be drooling over him today. I still think there is a chance he finishes the season 2-5 down the stretch, and one 7-5 season in the B12 wouldn't have me sold by any means...
-
I don't think it's a coincidence that when Trev was describing attributes he admired, it mirrored Campbell. MC would bring vision, leadership, development. Both Trev and MC take their faith very seriously too, not that it matters, but it does speak too likemindedness. All this to say I think TA makes a hard push for MC, no idea if he lands him or not.
Oh and a pet peeve of mine is MC/Mike Riley comparison. It's just lazy. Saban, Franklin, Harbaugh were all .600 coaches at places with less resources too...
