Matt Campbell is officially out. And not in coach speak. He OFFICIALLY turned us down as a candidate. 

Not surprised, as I said when the search first began that Matt Campbell would not be interested in this job. He may or may not have been a candidate, but there was zero chance of him wanting to come here

No link. As you should know by now…..links from the media are the least likely and slowest mode of gaining the truth. Not explaining my way so you can choose to believe or not. But it is true. He made direct contact with the university saying he wasn’t interested. 


I’m not so sure about this. Personally I’m not crazy about the guy. I’m finding it hard to believe. If true, I think we’d had dodged a bullet too.

Some of the best surgeons are sociopaths or psychopaths. A higher percentage than other other groups. That’s an extreme. It usually isn’t what’s portrayed in movies. They can be particularly nasty no less. And it wouldn’t be accurate to say all of them are. Far from it. Point being, highly successful professionals aren’t necessarily bad characters.


“Skeletons” can mean a variety of things. I would say very few of us don’t have them.

 

Soooo... Some surgeons have literal skeletons in their closet?

He called up Trev and told him to keep his 9 million a year?

We aren't so dismissive of Matt Campbell for Lance Leipold. Most Husker Fans want neither so hopefully we keep it that way.

 

I guess. I love Matt Campbell. I get the reservations, but when other teams desperately want a coach (USC, the NFL) I think it's a great sign

I think both of them are solid coaches and would be solid gets.  I think they lack the social media "wow" factor if that makes sense.  They don't have the name recognition as their programs are not in the CFP discussion.  That's just my .02. I'd be good with either one.  Solid business like approach to the game.  

 

To your point about other teams and NFL wanting him, did anyone other than NU and UF want Frost?  NU was a no brainer and UF only wanted him IIRC.  I don't remember multiple offers.

Are we sure either of those are actually true? Or is that just like, message board chatter and stuff? I remember his name being mentioned for USC about how it’s being mentioned for Nebraska now. And I don’t remember him ever being rumored for a head NFL job. Regardless, I’d hardly call either one “desperately wanting him”

Florida offered but it was pretty well known he was only going to come to NU.
