  1. Rhule will be present on the College Gameday broadcast.
  2. Yeah I went a bit overboard but you've gotta admit the fans are wayyy over their heads for a program thats hasn't won anything in 23 years along with 6 straight losing seasons. If this was 2019 or 2020, we would never think Rhule would even bother coming here. As far as I'm aware, TC flat out refused to allow even contacting Kiffin or Urban, not that they'd even bother picking the call. They don't want fiesty guys who'd publicly call them out for meddling. For a long time, Leipold was the favorite because TC leaders like Dr. Tom favor "fiscal responsibility" aka coaches who do reasonably well on a lesser budget. Thank God the Omaha boosters stepped in and threatened to cut their funding to the program if the upper management went the cheaper route. So on the condition the Omaha guys would foot the majority of the bill, top tier candidates were contacted. Fickell flat out said "thanks but not interested". Negotiations with Rhule broke down twice or thrice but finally Trev won.
  3. My goodness, there are too many retards in this thread. WE ARE 38-56 IN LAST 8 SEASONS. WE WILL NEVER BRING THE LIKES OF URBAN OR KIFFIN. GET OVER YOURSELVES. THIS IS NOT 1998.
  4. Todays leaks came from Cinci's reporters not ours.
  5. A couple of hours??? Can you mention the time at which he says this?
  6. Per Greg Smith and Zack Carpenter: “Dominoes are falling quickly in the college coaching world. Three coaches who have been mentioned as candidates for the Nebraska job – Mark Stoops (Kentucky), Kalen DeBoer (Washington) and Lance Leipold (Kansas) – all signed long-term extensions to stay at their current spots this week, with the news breaking on the latter two Tuesday night. The moves are all pieces to a convoluted puzzle that Inside Nebraska has been putting together this week. The following is a report that we have compiled over the last three days, checking with several sources to get an accurate update on the latest developments in the Huskers’ search: There has been a lot of talk over the last week about whether or not former Carolina Panthers coach Matt Rhule is still in the running for the Nebraska job. Talking with multiple sources, we can first confirm that Rhule has been a serious candidate and the lead candidate for the Nebraska job. There is confirmed interest on both sides. We are told by multiple sources Rhule has not turned down the Nebraska job. We can also confirm that no deal has been made with Rhule or any other candidate. In regard to Rhule: A snag was hit recently during negotiations, but that setback was not due to Rhule turning down the Huskers, according to multiple sources. That delay was caused by contractual issues centered around his buyout with the Panthers. Inside Nebraska is not ready to eliminate him as a candidate to become the next coach at Nebraska, but it would take more negotiations to make it happen. We are nearing the goal line of the coach search, but there remains time to close the gap on any potential buyout settlements or salary offset language with Rhule.”
  7. Between Rhule and Fickell, I'm slightly (51-49%) leaning towards Rhule because of his reputation as a program builder but Fickell has been getting it done in a big way for the past 3 years. Would be delighted with either
  8. The only mind that comes close to Tom Osborne as an offensive genius is......Art Briles.
  9. Bearcats Reporters are sweating that the Fickell to Nebraska could be more than just smoke.
  10. Luke Fickell 57-17 as Cincinatti HC. 35-10 in conference games. 2 straight AAC titles, will likely win a 3rd one this season. -2018 ranking: #23 -2019 ranking : #21 -2020 ranking : #8 -2021 ranking : #4
  11. Aranda has a 22 million buyout clause. Hes also recruited the best class the Bears have had in ages. Its not Aranda, guys.
  12. Sipples column: Meanwhile, Rhule, fired last month by the Carolina Panthers after a 1-4 start, has a history of success with reclamation projects (Temple, Baylor). Those were difficult jobs. He has to know Nebraska wouldn’t be an easy project. He must be intrigued. I’ve said this before: I like the 47-year-old Rhule’s background coaching in the trenches. To wit: His assistant-coaching history includes three separate stints as a collegiate defensive line coach (Buffalo, UCLA, and Temple). In 2012, he was an assistant offensive line coach with the New York Giants. Keep in mind, before he took the Baylor head-coaching job in 2017, Rhule was Oregon’s top candidate. Although it’s gone quiet on the Rhule-Nebraska front, these situations often are fluid. Stay tuned.
  13. Take this with a massive grain of salt but CSA co-founder followed Lane kiffin on social media.
  14. I want him because - He's primarily an O-line coach (our biggest weakness). - Excellent at player development (confirmed from numerous Baylor fans) - Has great relationship with Texas HS coaches. - Solid record of turning around struggling programs. He ticks all boxes in what we need.
  15. I mean Urb is off the charts in the sleazeball scale but it pains me to admit he's the ONLY ONE who can turn s#!t program into gold within 3 years.
  16. Yeah there was no such thing as star rating which I believe began in 2001 or 2002. Tommie Frazier was the #3 QB in the nation when he arrived so a consensus 5 star, in today's terms.
  17. Mickey himself confirmed that Trev didn't bother interviewing him so we can rhule him out completely. Thank Goodness.
  18. Who are your REALISTIC top 3 choices after yesterday's games? 1- Rhule 2- Deboer 3- Klieman I'm out on Leipold. He's just a slightly better Mike Riley
  19. OOU means Oh Oh (troubled) University..which basically means Nebraska Rhule to Nebraska. GET HYPED!!
  20. Would be excited to have him here bht he's not leaving his comfy studio analyst job to coach here at age 59.
  21. 80-35 as B1G coach. I'd take him in a heartbeat.
  22. Bro, as a Steelers fan, stay far, far away from this jacka$$. He's by far the worst OC we've ever had..and we've had some real stinkers.
