The Scarlet Pimpernel

We still have the best odds. https://www.oddschecker.com/us/insight/football/nfl/20221011-matt-rhules-next-coaching-job-is-matt-rhule-set-to-be-nebraskas-next-head-coach

I always was quite agile and nimble ...and hey, at least I admit when I'm wrong

Tell this to Mavric, not me. He was the one who questioned me when I stated that I hoped Trev already had begun negotiations.

I wasn't. I came to visit my daughter at WVU and flew in/out of Columbus.

As I was told, if that’s the case, then why did he waste $ hiring a search firm?

just showing an example of how others outside the state view us.

Waiting in the security line at Columbus Airport and Hoiberg is on the tv. These two clowns in front of me are saying how Nebraska sucks at everything but women’s volleyball

If Trev can land Rhule I'd consider it a pretty major coup. He's a guy who will be able to pick and choose where he wants to go, and doesn't need to be in any rush to do it.

Exactly. Not to mention he's not currently coaching, so negotiating would (should?) be easier. I'd be happy w/ him. He can recruit, and has been a winner everywhere he's been.

I thought he did fairly well at Texas and was fired prematurely. They went to 4 bowl games and won all 4

I think Herman is an intriguing pick. I mentioned him as a possibility back when Frost was fired and was told not to mention him again. I think he’d be a solid hire.

Give it a rest. MJ is one of the best recruiters around, not just Louisiana, but anywhere. I don't think he's head coach material, but if you don't think losing him would be a significant loss, I don't know what to tell ya.

Swap Klieman with Rhule and that would be my preference

Unfortunately the SEC boards are saying that Auburn may target Rhule. He’ll be a hot commodity.

I think right now Aranda would be my top pick, one primary reason being that he's familiar with MJ and Busch from his days at LSU and would likely keep them on board. Rhule wouldn't be far behind, my only concern being that he never beat a ranked team while at Baylor.

Well, back when people were talking about Bo being fired and who the next HC would be.

What we basically said is that there are only a few select coaches who can lure elite talent (Top 15 classes, since data shows that’s what is needed to win championships) to Lincoln but we were told that’s not true… which is why I asked for names, to which nobody has responded.

I’d be ok with Rhule. https://thespun.com/.amp/nfl/matt-rhule-fired-soon-report

you do realize the first quote I posted was from me, right?

That’s easier said than done, though. It’s extremely difficult for a team to reach that status with primarily 3* talent, which is why I am so big on Meyer. But, we were told a few pages back that the belief that Meyer and a few other very select coaches can lure elite talent here is false, which is why I’ve asked for names. Klieman and a Leipold and Campbell and these other no name vanilla guys aren’t going to land the type of talent we need to compete for an win championships, and until we can do that, we’re not going to land the championship-caliber classes. Just curious, Mav, who would your top choice be?

pretty much the same as “Petersen will never leave Boise” back when Bo was fired

will you feel the same way if KSU finishes 7-5?

Sorry I didn’t spell it out in exact terms. Those who were involved in the conversation already knew what I meant: Top 15 classes on a regular basis. Who?
