Facts

Not attacking ya brotha like I said I am anti-pessimist so I don't share your thoughts on this one. I don't consider him a former Husker I consider him a professional who has earned his way to a D1 school. If being a Husker mattered I would want Mickey as Head Coach and I don't.

You should trust Trev, he has not given you a reason not to. Besides, this has been on every level an amazing coaching search. We are 60+ days in and no one has a clue. Even when the hire is made we cannot judge the hire until year 2. I know I am anti-pessimist but its true. One could never a have a meaningful relationship with anyone if you always think they are going to cheat on you. You have to give it a chance.

I cant find the article now, but when I looked up the Lincoln Riley stuff it mentioned USC started with like 30 names of interest and used an analytics team to narrow it down to seven names. Those seven names were then vetted by the search firm I believe. Reading some bios on the search firm it appears they have every tool a hiring manager could want at their disposal. The names for AD and coaches that firm has hired is impressive. It is no wonder we haven't heard one legit rumor come out in regards to the search.

This is false. Saban wanted him back otherwise he wouldn't be coaching still.

Just my two cents, but the search firm Trev hired worked with USC to land Lincoln Riley. These articles help explain what happened on USC's side with this firm and how the process worked. It can let you into the window of what has probably transpired in Lincoln as well. Now I do not believe for a minute that Lincoln Riley wasn't interested until the last 12 hours as I think that is BS and he knew. https://www.latimes.com/sports/usc/story/2021-11-28/usc-trojans-hire-lincoln-riley https://www.ocregister.com/2021/12/02/how-usc-landed-lincoln-riley-and-all-the-little-things-that-had-to-go-right/

I’m still waiting for Lars Anderson to give us a third incorrect Husker coach prediction.

Stoops, Petersen, and Fickell

Zero clue other than that is a gentleman who works for the firm CSA Trev hired

No doubt. I do not disagree, but there is enough evidence that he isn't that content in Oxford that maybe the right salesman could lure him away.

I reread an article about the firm Trev hired and how the Lincoln Riley situation went down and it gives me hope that we will have that home run surprise hire no one saw coming. I think Lane Kiffin is coming to Lincoln. Steven Godfrey talked last year of Lane being unhappy in Oxford, then throughout this season Lane shows signs of frustration with the NIL and fan support down in Oxford. I believe there are two scenarios for Lane. Lane either wants to be the next head coach at Alabama and he will stay put at Ole Miss or he will come to Lincoln. I would be shocked if he was interested in Auburn given his Alabama ties. Besides the family history between the Kiffin's and Nebraska that we all know about, I could see playing against USC as a motivator for him given how his relationship ended with them. All Aboard!

He is ridiculous right? He has mentioned every candidate in the book so he can go back and claim he was the one who told you so. A week ago he said Stoops was out lol. Always second hand message board information unless he is pumping his Mickey Joseph agenda.

I saw someone post the information based on information received from the pay wall at the Platinum Board. Then local radio guys and certain media types were dropping hints in regard to some smoke rising.

Love the quote and its true. Great coaches cover

I don't think its an unwritten rule per say, but in the grand scheme of things it has a bad look.

I am not hating on Busch. I feel it would be wise to retain him as special teams coach, I am just saying the stats do not support the heart. I like him here and he is a solid recruiter.

I appreciate your love for Busch and I appreciate what he doing in a bad situation but coach of the year? We are tied for 98th in the country in scoring defense right next to Colorado St and Eastern Michigan

If you haven't seen a coaching name in the 500 pages on this thread that you think can help turn the bus around then that speaks more for your personality than on the coaching candidates.

Why the rant? Do you have proof he wont or you just mad your favorite coach might not get hired?

I agree. Like I mentioned earlier, I think the NFL dirtied up his resume. If he stays at Baylor (no offense to Aranda) IMO he would be considered elite at this point. We could be getting a bargain discount on a top 10 coach. That’s the upside we need to pay attention to here. Plus when it comes to recruiting it sounds like the coaches in Texas love him.

Your comment is money $$$. Let's not forget the success Aranda has had with Rhule's players. If Rhule wouldn't have been courted by the NFL, I think it safe to say Rhule may be coaching somewhere elite at this point and we wouldn't be talking about him as an option. The NFL dirtied up his resume perhaps to our gain.

You aren't looking big picture. If you get lost in wins and losses and not pay attention to the details on how those wins and losses happened we cant help you.

No news on Rhule today means there is still a chance for the Lane Train. I am speaking it into existence. All aboard!!

I agree I believe the search began last year as well. My anxiety has made me believe certain rumors and change my mind a zillion times. My original thought was this has been in place for some time and maybe the ole search firm is working behind the scenes for high level assistants without getting them in trouble with their current bosses. The timing of the Wisconsin firing of Chryst makes me believe someone reached out about Leanard, maybe not us but enough to force their hand. It was curious to say the least.
