While Fickell would be a good choice, I just cannot see him leaving Ohio, with way too many things keeping him there. As for who we'll eventually end up with, I have no inside information, but fear it's going to be a less than homerun type hire. It's probably going to be some name that nobody has even mentioned. A la the Mike Riley hire in 2014. Or even worse a mid tier division 2 or 3 coach. There will be a lot of questions from multiple directions afterward, of how the search could have gone so wrong. And with this decision the University of Nebraska Lincoln, as a football entity, will fall even further into obscurity.
Or maybe I just need more coffee.
