  1. I would prefer a Saturday announcement to dominate the news cycle as other college teams play. He could show up personally on the  Fox Football telecast and deliver a singing telegram to Urban- they both walk off and board a plane back to Nebraska ...Trev knows the value of free publicity.

     

    I will admit the last 8 weeks have been nerve racking.  Just don't screw this one up.  I am already hearing renewals are in the toilet and the ticket office has been making some personal calls to season ticket holders (those with 4+ tickets).    

     

    As much as I like Meyer, I think Klieman  makes th most sense (midwest guy, tough as nails, and worked his way up)- except we may have to wait an extra week for him to announce.  I think Lane is too flighty as it was mentioned here before, but would consider him a great hire.  If A&M is willing to pay Jimbo $70 million to leave-  they would control the next hire.  Who knows what kind of contract they could offer a new coach.  I just think Deon would be too risky for A&M, but you Never know.  

     

    Beinemy is getting another whisper or two downtown but do not think it has legs.  I have heard zero on Locksley ( Maryland) since 4 weeks ago.  I do wonder how many and who has turned us down.  I am sure Trev is working harder than an ugly stripper.

     

  2. Steve Taylor pushing hard for his guy on Facebook.  I have cooled a bit on Mickey after watching the way he/Whipple manage the clock-  I would agree- if it was Mickey- we should have announced it by now.
     
     
    "Dear Nebraska ,
    If you do not adapt & embrace change you will be extinct ! Mickey J is solely qualified on his resume alone ... being a person of color + former player is just an added bonus an intangible that could make a huge difference . He has earned the right to succeed or fail on is on merit just like all the previous Head Coaches !! It was totally embarrassing as the announcers repeatedly mention that NU has not had a minority Head Coach In any sport at the University Of Nebraska ! So….70% of our athletes are black and 99% of our coaches & Administrators are white. Be Better Big Red
    Sincerely & Respectfully,
    Steven L. Taylor #9".

  3. How or Does this weigh on coach’s/player's minds? Let's say for the heck of it that Locksley or Lane K are our guys that we are targeting .....Despite the success, Maryland has struggled to fill SECU Stadium above 60% this season, with the season-best attendance of 31,194 coming out to support the Terps against SMU. “If you're a real competitor, you'll play in front of 100,000 or you'll play in front of one,” head coach Mike Locksley said.  I remember  Wandale made a comment on Kentucky only drawing less to a home game than Nebraska did to the spring game.

    This can't be +1ed enough. The most educated and genius football minds miss, more often than not, on hires. At every level.

     

    Our heads would explode if/when we hire some random dude from _____ (fill in the blank state) who's not even at the best program in the state with a 34-24 overall record.

     

    Apparently there's more to it than just wins and losses. Seems like Trev is approaching it right.

    I hope coach X is not Maryland's Locksley.  I heard that over 4 weeks ago and posted as such.  Campbell was the "guy" late last season and it appeared we may have had a soft verbal- but stayed with SF.  What makes me nervous is how quiet it is down there from my sources (they are not the ones that said Locksley) and I have been told we already have our person- and blessed by Mickey.  Time will tell and we will see.  Either way- everyone says trust Trev and the decision he makes.
