Aren't these the same boosters that wanted Frost fired 2 games before we could have saved $7.5M?

I agree. Doesn't that set the standard that we are willing to pay to bring this University back to life? What's the point of paying that buyout if you are going to turn around and be cheap on a coach and his staff? Makes zero sense. I hope this isn't the case. This fan base is teetering and are looking for a reason to keep caring. They need to give us one now. 

I just want to swing on here before the holiday week and wish everyone luck on their favorite pick for head coach. Let’s keep in mind we have an amazing chance to ruin Iowa’s season and for the hell we have been through we need this Friday. So instead of me clamoring for my favorite coach tonight, I am riding with MJ until Friday! #GBR

Lol He has a buzz then someone got a hold of him and advised, make a correction. Stop the smoke! Stop the smoke!

Well that’s two elites now that have followed Fickell at some point before deleting

Dan Pom is a Campbell troll. Did you look at his other tweets before posting this? 0% accurate as he just throws Campbell rumors out for amusement. fwiw.

8-2 in his first season at Washington.

 

Just beat #8 Oregon. 

 

He is everything people claim Matt Rhule to be. 

Rhule is a bad example. You should use Leipold instead.

Good Lord... Safe to say everybody's uptight LOL

 

Mickey being a serious candidate at this point is probably not in the cards (rightfully), but I do believe that if Wisconsin were to lose this game, Jim Leonhard's chances of getting the HC gig there goes WAY down, if not sabotaging it altogether. He already has a bad loss against Michigan State, and this could do him in...

Mixed signals at Wisconsin right? Not sure what they have going on up there. I hope we make their decisions harder and win tomorrow

If we truly are DeBoer’s dream job then back up the brinks truck and do whatever it takes! Dude is a legit winner wherever he goes. 

Depends on who the other coach is TBH. DeBoer is great and I wouldn't mind the hire, but there are others that are more of a slam dunk than him and I hope they are in play. Unfortunately, he doesn't fit the profile of physical football that Trev speaks about.

If Mickey can lead this team to a win over Wisconsin tomorrow, he could simultaneously torpedo Leonhard's chances for the Wisconsin job, and put himself back in serious contention for the job at Nebraska.

 

This is assuming the media guys are correct that we don't in fact have a coach lined up right now

I appreciate your opinion, but if this truly happens the whole coaching search would have failed and Nebraska truly is not relevant anymore. 

247 in Auburn has added James Franklin to their list of candidates at Auburn. Doubt there is smoke to it as they have a lot of names linked down there. Could be the reason for pause on #TeamRhule as if Penn St becomes open that's his ultimate landing spot.

Callahan

- Under the radar option is Jeff Traylor (UTSA)

- Kalen DeBoer calls Nebraska his "destination job".  But has a $12M buyout.

 

Sipple

- "Smoke around Rhule is thick.  It's real"

- If Nebraska announces this Sunday/Monday, its Rhule.  It it waits until after Iowa it won't be him.

- Prominent on Nebraska's radar:  Leipold, Klieman, Monken, Doeren, Campbell

- Mickey is a "long shot"

Thanks for the share. Its so funny the back and forth on Rhule. National guys like Feldman and Thamel have been consistent and say Rhule is sitting this one out and the locals are like there is heavy smoke. Perhaps the University has been leaking out misinformation to keep Nebraska talked about and to hide the real finalists, my guess it is just exhausted guessing lol? 

My opinions:

-I believe the National media will end up leaking the "Ultimate leak" prior the locals on whom the next coach will be

-There is no reason to announce before Iowa next week at this point, regardless of who it is. Let Mickey and the guys finish this out. 

-If the announcement is not next weekend it has to be a coach involved in a conference championship game and we shouldn't panic

McKewon has absolutely no clue. Those two names are not even remote options and to mention them is just silly. "His picks" means who he'd like to see, not actual realistic options.

How do you know? You are an insider now?

Sam brings up Fickell a lot.  I found that interesting because he's not mentioned as a viable candidate

 

 

 

I found this particularly interesting as well. Sipple brought up his name for the first time in forever last evening too on his message board. Probably nothing, but odd.

Monken or O’Brien Would be extremely disappointing. Would save me money on getting season tickets though

I see names like that and wonder why you would get a search firm when you can just call them. They are both attainable without a national fight for them.

On 1620 yesterday, Sipple was asked "You have to bet $10,000 of your own money and get 4 choices for Nebraska HC.  Who are they?"

 

His answers were Rhule, Leipold, BOB, Doeren.

So the only name that stays the same is Leipold.

Exactly

Not so much his list, but the comments on Rhule compliment what National insider Pete Thamel said about Rhule.

Let's just hope it's not like 2014s lol

Lol that’s why the waiting sucks. We have PTSD and we just assume the same things will repeat themselves over and over. With 60+ days to think about it we all gone mad

Giving the timing it has to be wrapped up by now or pretty close. It's not just Trev who's in the know I'd imagine.

True but it’s tough to say. This search firm has proven in the past they do not leak. Would be my guess ( and it’s just a guess on my part) we will hear the main rumor nationally before the locals get it.

Are the local media guys not saying much about Rhule because they are clueless or good lapdogs for the program?

Because  no one has a clue who Trev has in mind.

I got one too...

Guess what though...the Ewoks didn't put up with no bull**** and were winners. We are in fine hands 

My opinion is that Trev is handling this with class and is setting the tone for public perception when it comes to respecting the kids and Mickey. If we want Mickey to stick around in some capacity,  let him see us through the next two games and all is well. No reason to risk disrespect because we have severe anxiety
