What has Mickey ever done other than catch lightning in a bottle with Ja'marr Chase and Justin Jefferson? He sucks. One bad season doesn't make Campbell a bad coach considering his two best players left last year. He's made 6 bowls in a row. You want to know how many bowls ISU made before him? 11 in their entire history.

It would complete idiocy to leave Penn State for Auburn who have the most meddlesome boosters in America (even worse than Texas) . Also, Happy Valley >> Bumhole, Alabama

Heard his daughter is a UW softball commit. He might be more committed there than we think.

Cheers

Nah I'm happy Deboer has proven his worth at UDub. If we hired him from Fresno, loads of fans would have whined and b!^@hed about his resume.

8-2 in his first season at Washington. Just beat #8 Oregon. He is everything people claim Matt Rhule to be.

He didn't say the SIL's husband saw him. It could be the wife just said Trev was talking to some middle aged dude named Matt. The husband could have shown her a picture of Rhule and the wife must have said yeah..this guy. Then the husband could have 'mansplained' who Matt was. I have a lot of free time today lol.

Performance based contracts will be the norm in 5-7 years. Mark my words. The jimbo, Mel tucker disasters will prove me right

What's with the secrecy? Its not like we're poaching him from another team or we're in playoff hunt and coaching change might discourage the players. He's unemployed, we're a perennially losing program in the need for a HC. Simple as that.

Fleck?

The fact that its being narrowed down to Leipold or Monken makes me want to cry

Just one winning season as a P5 coach would be a good start as to why he's a bad choice.

Bielema or Bust. - 80-34 as B1G HC - 3 B1G championships - Outstanding player developer (turned JJ Watt from a TE to a HOF pro EDGE) - Nebraska's daddy - knows how to recruit in the Midwest

Let's be real, the Rhule rumors were started by the 'Platinum Board', a forum notorious for karma whoring and bulls#!tting to get subscriptions. We all got carried away with it. We actually believed it because 'the stadium lights were on' with Rhule and his wife getting a tour lol. Jeeesus, how dumb could be we?

Considering the crap we're in, I'd take him in a heartbeat. Proven winner in the B1G, has an undertalented Illini ranked, amazing player developer, has had loads of players drafted in the first two rounds.

After the first 2 weeks of the NFL season, everyone and their dog knew Rhule was getting canned.

If its BoB, Saban will drive him to Lincoln and dump him outside Trev's office himself.

RGIII is cool

With all due to respect to her, they was no way in hell Trev would offer the HC to Mickey. Why the hell would he risk his own job if Mickey failed?

As far as I know, he lives in pennsylvania.

The 'no wins against ranked team' and ' we can do better' argument makes my blood boil. Urban already said his wife was pissed they had to leave Columbus for florida (jags tenure). You think his family would be happy to move to Lincoln? Kiffin won't leave the SEC (most fertile recruiting area) for the big10 West. Plus, Ole Miss (a very wealthy program) will match anything Nebraska offers in $. Mickey inexperienced and got rejected from Southern University. Trev won't risk his own job to see Mickey fail.

Yeah his 11-3, #12 ranking impresses me a lot. When was the last time we ranked that high?

The criticisms are from those who think Kiffin and Urban are duelling over the job. As if Trev hasn't offered them the job lol Or those of the 'just promote Mickey', ffs hes never been a coordinator, let alone a HC plus he got rejected from Southern University lmao. Trev knows he'll be sent packing if the hire is a bust.

Do it quick so they can get a good start in recruitment. I don't want a honeymoon season for the new coach next year. A 6 win season should be the goal for 2023.

Matt Rhule is 31-10 from his 3rd season onward. 20-7 at Temple. 11-3 at Baylor. His turned the ship around at 2 programs. A historically bad one and a scandal ridden one. I'd be delighted if he's announced as the new HC.
