Rhule, Kiffin, Malzahn, Leipold, Klieman, Chadwell, Patterson, Monken, Deion, Aranda, and Mickey. Missing anyone?
Matt Campbell.
Look it this way. Trev laid out a plan for his football program this past offseason and for xHCSF. Then terminated him 3 games into the year.
- Going into 2022 KU Lance Leipold was not on anyone's radar.
- Going into 2022 KSU Chris Klieman had 3 years of P5 with conference record of 5-4, 4-5, 4-5.
- Patterson was forced retired and done with it (HC).
- Chadwell has success at G5, but we know the competition, toughness, speed, athleticism is not nearly the same as P5 Big Ten Football or SEC or even ACC.
- Sanders isn't even coaching against FCS, G5, P5 teams that are way more talented and scheme and play bigger and faster.
- Monken is military. No offense to the Army.
- Malzahn is at UCF - and we just went through that with Frost
- Aranda is coming off a Big 12 title championship. Maybe he benefited from some of Rhule's players, but still. There may have been some off season talks.
- Kiffin will talk and listen. But he will do whatever he wants to do, whenever he wants to do it. There may have been some off season talks.
- Rhule was entrenched into the NFL. If Rhule takes the Husker job, it's because Rhule lost his job at NFL and Trev Alberts never had a guy in place until then. Nope. Nobody willing to take the job until he did. Which is like playing dice in the streets. Or someone coming along to luckily save the day (and save face).
