Nebraska Coach Search - 2025 version

You never know for sure, but Matt Campbell seems the least likely of any big name candidate to leave where he's at.

 

[FremontFred]

I wonder what his buyout is. He's done more with less there?? In 2021 his salary was $4m.

From Wiki:

On August 1, 2025, Campbell finalized a contract extension through the 2032 season.

Has to be less than what we’ll get from PSU on Rhule

 

[Mavric]

Please no.

Indiana doing well gives me hope (not frustration) that NU doesn't necessarily need to hire a "hot" name or P4 retread to improve.

However, I'd be happy if NU is in on the likes of a Campbell or Drinkwitz.

Hard pass on Campbell

Id take Kyle Whittingham from Utah before I take Matt Campbell.

No, you wouldn’t. He’s been rumored to be retiring for years.

But he hasn't yet. Good coach who I feel doesn't get enough credit.

That's great and all but he's 65, been at the same school for 20 years, spent most all of his life in and around Utah/the mountains, and he isn't coming here.

I know he isn't but I was just talking about the quality of coach he is.

 

[Slow yer Roll]

I dont want to hear any names that were bounced around in the last 3 searches.

Wow do you hear yourself. Deion has been scrutinized his whole life so what makes you think he couldn't handle the pressure of coaching here? When you go through what he has been through and still want to coach and teach life lessons to young men to grow up and be leaders and mature men I commend him for that. He knows what it takes to win bc that's all he has ever been an All-American football player, and MLB baseball player and NFL pro bowl player and then on top of that Hall of Fame football player. So all he needs is for people to keep doubting him and his abilities and he will keep doing what he does best which is being a winner.

Realistically there is a shortage of coaching talent for the amount of jobs that will be open this year. If Rhule leaves it may be tough sledding. Campbell about 4 years ago would make me feel better than Campbell of today.

So true. I think I'm gonna apply for a few. Colorado St might take me
