For a long time, it was common practice to name a handful of finalists and then present those finalists to the public in a variety of forums across the state for vetting purposes. But then in 2016, the Unicameral officially updated the hiring process.

Yes, we are a volleyball school and proud of it.

 

 

I was half-joking with some friends on Saturday night that VB might top FB in viewership. Apparently I should have put some money on it

That's a major shift to the defensive end of the spectrum. Apparently everyone wants to be Iowa.

/S

His .871 career winning percentage just isn't cutting it anymore!

I call BS on the low ball offers.   No way Trev spends an extra $7.5M by firing 3 weeks early and then gets in a urination tussle over ~$200K for some assistants.   This screams someone trying to explain why their 'prediction' of a hire didn't happen and it's just being spread around like wildfire.

I've heard the same rumor about Carolina protesting what we want to pay Rhule.  Panthers are saying Market Value for the coach should be 7M+ and that's not what we had hoped to pay Rhule (haven't heard what we hoped to pay him).   Carolina trying to get out of how much they will have to pay on his buyout.

 

This isn't anything published, but that's what I've been told.

If true, I'm placing more blame on our cheap-a$$ Regents, rather than the cheap-a$$ Panthers. Less than two months ago, we forked over an additional $7.5M to get rid of Frost three weeks early, but now all of a sudden we can't pony up the additional funds to finalize a deal with a top-tier hire? SMH.

Everything I've heard still points toward Rhule. Supposedly the holdup is Carolina, trying to get things squared away with his buyout, and they're playing hardball.

Alright, I'll play along... Where are you getting this information about Carolina playing hardball?

I've never heard any reasoning.  But several of his staff members (assistants?) were telling the Lincoln Journal-Star that they were going to Lincoln.  Then they weren't.

My mood shift in that hour between the false announcement of Bielema and the real announcement of Riley was pretty drastic. I went from being really excited for the future to completely meh.

We had him basically hired in 2014.  Then it fell apart for some reason.

Maybe he heard some bad things about working for The Ginger Assassin.

Yeah, I really want to know what went down in 2014.

Since this has been brought up several times, here's the link to Mickey's revised contract. Regarding whether or not he's required to be retained by a new head coach, pay special attention to sub-section "1. Term" and interpret it as you will.

Bryan Harsin is available...

Which means we need to jump on the Lane Train before it ends up on the Plains.

Let's see here...

• Base salary of $1M
• $500K bonus for each win up to 6 wins
• $750K bonus for each win 7-10
• $1M bonus for each win 11-12
• $500K bonus for winning B1G West
• $1M bonus for winning B1G
• $1.5M bonus for making CFP
• $3.0M bonus for winning CFP

NOTE: All bonuses are cumulative.

So, win 7 games, make $4.75M. Go undefeated and win it all, make $15M. Seems pretty fair to me.

I'm sure this is just Trev importing some Spotted Cow to sell at PBA, right?

Private planes from Waco and South Bend have landed in Lincoln within the last couple hours. Have there been any confirmed Dave Aranda or Knute Rockne sightings at Runza yet? 

I originally posted the flight tracker stuff half-jokingly, but maybe there really is a little more smoke around Dave Aranda than I realized.

He's running one of the worst campaigns in recent political history, his opponent is running a good campaign and has a history of connecting to voters, and Vance is going to win by 8-10%.

 

Such is the way states like Ohio have become a lost cause.
