Very similar hire, except Rhule is about as smart as a post.

Rhule would be more of a garbage hire than Fickell would be.

Mark my words, if it is Rhule, he’ll quickly be considered a worse hire than Callahan. If Rhule gets the job, I’ll be done with Huskers football.

Why, because we finally beat Iowa?

all their qb's are back ups

I'd sooner read a book, and I almost never do that.

I'd quit. Seriously.

We ask for a chance that’s fair

That would be great (as he’s #2 on my list)!

It's Shaw (Stanford HC). His name has been in the back of my mind for a week, shared this thought here yesterday, slept on it, and now I'm 90% sure it's him. The union would simply be a great fit for several reasons. He's a great coach, CEO, motivator, tactician, recruiter, human being, and the timing would be perfect for him. Welcome to Nebraska, Coach Shaw!

That was my original list from when SF was fired. It's never been updated.

He's #10 on my list, but my gut feeling is telling me it's Shaw. He is a damn fine coach, and has to be looking to start over somewhere by now.

Klieman would be a great hire. The other two...nah.

Our next HC will come from that list. If I'm wrong, I'll never post here again.

Gimmicky, tchotchke-like traditions only work when you're winning. Once the losses start piling up, they just look stupid - and yes, they tend to distract from what's actually important.

Three posts up from this one.

No offense, and not to be argumentative, but there is no way in Hades we're paying Rhule $9 million - laughably high for him.

1. Meyer 2. Kiffin 3. Aranda 4. Klieman 5. Campbell 6. Gundy 7. Clawson 8. Bielema 9. Franklin 10. Shaw

I guess we'll know soon. He wouldn't make my Top 5 list. If it's Rhule, I'd bet we paid $6 million or less annually for him.

BS - pride is always worth fighting for, especially for a P5 college football program.

I LOVED Pelini as HC. Firing him was an action of pure ignorance and arrogance.

Read my last 30 posts, then come back and rethink your statement.

"Blackshirts Matter"?

I don't think Rhule has been on the list for at least 3-4 weeks now (if ever).

"Black Shirts" have become a weird distraction for several years now, and it's high time they just go away - it's not 1995 anymore. Black Shirts separate the team in an unproductive way; fielding an amazing lights out defense should simply be our standard, and not something to make a big deal out of. Look at Iowa's defense the last several years - one of the best statistically speaking over the last decade, and they just go out and get their business done with zero hype. That's actually a good model for how our D should operate going forward.
