Leipold is responsible for fielding the worst defense in the history of football. I really don’t want him as the next HC. Their defense is the definition of terrible.
This feels like the search that eventually resulted in Callahan. Everyone had high hopes during that search only to be disappointed when Callahan was announced. I get the sense it will be someone unpopular like Campbell. I know Iowa State isn’t having a good year, but Mike Riley went 5-7 his last year at Oregon State. The reality is not many people will want this job.
Money talks at the end of the day. I have a hard time believing K-State can come remotely close to what Nebraska can offer in terms of cash. I was just throwing Klieman out there as a random name, but if NU really wanted him, they could get him.
It will probably be someone hardly mentioned like Klieman.
I would be surprised if Rhule doesn’t take a year off before taking another gig. It’s not uncommon at all.
I’m off the Mickey train. That was some pitiful coaching today. Today made it very clear that this is a full rebuild and it will take an experienced power 5 head coach to fix the giant mess that will be inherited.
There could very well be a handshake agreement in place with the new coach already. I think if it were Mickey, Trev would have announced it by now. I wouldn’t be surprised if Mickey has an agreement with Trev to remain on the staff in some capacity. It would be beneficial to have such an agreement in place so Mickey could tell recruits such as Coleman that he will be on the staff no matter what.
