LMAO that's really your reasoning? Because his name isn't "big enough". Oh man, you've got A LOT to learn. 1 Link to comment

We'd be in such a different situation right now! I think you're overestimating the amount of money Baylor has. They can't compete with us now, let alone when the new media deal hits. Guys like Aranda and Campbell aren't all salary guys, meaning they don't need to be the highest paid coaches around. What they do want, however, is their assistants to be the highest paid coaches around. We can accomplish that better than their current schools can today and even more so in a few years. You're right - they aren't all salary but that's a big piece of it. The last time Aranda had a public salary was when he was the highest-paid assistant coach in the country at LSU (2.5mm) so it definitely speaks to him. We don't know for sure what his Baylor contract looks like but it's estimated at $6m with a large assistant pool. What Aranda has talked about (and why I don't see him leaving unless its an Alabama-tier job) is that he loves the environment he's in and the institutional commitment he receives, so I'll assume he's got a big coordinator pool and they're going to be in the top 20% in football spending at the P5 level. He's seen what LSU is capable of and if he's satisfied it must be a good situation financially. Additionally, Baylor can recruit its backyard (Texas/Louisiana) and has one of the best donor bases in the P5. Campbell's situation is a bit dicier. He was the hot name for years and his shine is wearing off. It's kind of a sh!t or get off the pot deal with him if he wants to move. I really admire the culture he's built at ISU and he's a great developmental coach. I love Heacock, his DC but I could see him staying on as HC there if Campbell dips. Iowa State is a more precarious place to be in the new world order than Baylor because it doesn't have that donor base. I think he leaves soon and he's going to be a target, but he'll be expensive. Probably $7m/6y deal. Link to comment
Cdog923 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Make Campbell, Aranda and Fickell tell you "no", then move onto Rhule, Chadwell or Mullen. Hard pass on O'Brien for me. 2 Link to comment

suh_fan93 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Trying to forecast Nebraska's next HC seems futile to me but I do like the idea of Petersen. I also see MJ definitely getting interviewed as well. Link to comment

The knock on Mullen is that he doesn't recruit. Pass Herman is Frost. I'm fine passing on the entire Urban Meyer tree. Lots of shenanigans Chadwell would be OK but I'd rather someone with a big ten recruiting footprint. He's destined for the UNC job when it opens up. I do like his offense but I think the big ten is the last place that it would work. If we're going option-adjacent I'd rather hire Monken. Fickell won't leave until Ryan Day is coaching in the NFL. In his whole career he's never left the state of Ohio and I don't see Nebraska doing it. Whittingham will retire at Utah. 1 Link to comment

I could see him at ND or Penn State but ND will not open for the forseeable future and Penn State is Matt Rhule's before it's Luke's. Here are Fickell's stops in his career. 1999 Ohio State (GA) 2000–2001 Akron (DL) 2002–2003 Ohio State (ST) 2004 Ohio State (LB) 2005–2010 Ohio State (co-DC/LB) 2011 Ohio State (Interim HC) 2012–2016 Ohio State (co-DC/LB) 2017–present Cincinnati Never once left the state and probably never will. Certainly wouldn't for Nebraska. 2 Link to comment

Not that im high on fickle but if you want the credentials, though if it doesnt work i can see that hurting him as well. Link to comment
