coaching rumor...
- Thread starter mavsker_rivals
- Start date
We'll all have a "that's great" or an "aw ****" moment in the next few weeks.
I'm hoping to be in the former group. LOL
I am probably wrong, but I have been hearing that the new coach might have been in the works for quite some time. Everyone wins in this situation. Think south. He is not having a great year, but it would be a good hire. And not Lance or Bill. Pretty easy to figure out, even though ( as of 3 days ago) the "money talk" has hit a standstill.

Better spent on other things within the department rather than paying off failed coaches that's why. It's funny that so many think Nebraska has an endless supply of money, it's just not being printed by the University. Nebraska can't keep running up a deficit like U.S. government.
Nice to hear you have the inside scoop on the whole situation. Mickey is still in the middle of an audition to become the head man and we won't know until his audition is concluded November 25th. Nobody knows but Trev Alberts AD, Ted Carter president and chancellor Green who that next coach will be and that decision is ongoing.

So we have to keep Mickey, or some overblown self-entitled recruit will leave? Cut ties with the kid now if that’s the case. Even if Mickey stays that’s not a good look
You are are absolutely crazy if you think Coleman is self-entitled, try reading about this outstanding young man before you spew your ignorance about something or somebody.

“Mickey is going to be there, and I know that,” Coleman said on Saturday. “That’s why I’m here.”
Coleman also made no bones about it when talking about Joseph’s impact on his overall decision.
“He changed everything for me,” Coleman said. “About six or seven months ago I was not coming here.”
Well it sounds like Mickey is going to be here some way or another as a HC or assistant.

Contrary to popular opinion, money does matter. You don’t just piss away money when you’re looking at the millions we’re planning to spend on stadium improvements.
Doeren would be a good hire but I doubt he’ll be the man. O’Brien is the most logical. The shine is off of Aranda when you look closer. IF we don’t hire O’Brien IMO it isn’t because we didn’t offer.
Good grief. You’ve posted some ****** takes on here, but this one may win the prize as the dumbest.
I think the shine is off on Leipold and Campbell..Aranda and Rhule are most unlikely..
Would like to think Kiffin has some interest in Nebraska but I have my fingers crossed with him..
Not sure about O’Brien except the the fact that he has a good résumé but so does Lane Kiffin..
Nice to see some of our fans rush right up to the podium to brag about having some inside bad info about a star recruit that could have left the state, and who should be having the time of his life right now, and enjoying the process, and decided to commit to this dumpster fire in spite of what's gone on here in recent decades..... Stay classy, idiots.
I can’t see Trev hiring Kiffin but who knows. O’Brien makes the most sense for multiple reasons. Experience in the BIG. No buyout. Success as a head coach. Recruited well under extremely difficult circumstances. Available after the playoff. I also have no doubt that he would be open to keeping Mickey and Busch at least. I think O’Brien would be a great fit.
everyone assuming Mickey will accept a demotion to stay on staff apparently have no spine or dignity of their own
I would never accept a public demotion, and Mickey will have plenty of opportunities elsewhere if he is for some reason passed over by blockhead Trev
he will either be the head coach next year or not in Lincoln, and he's earned that

I’m not against it but Alabama had a better offense when Kiffin was the O coordinator than what O’Brien is doing now for them..
Kiffin had better wide receivers but damn. Look at the production from O’Brien’s offense. It’s tremendous. Bama’s problem isn’t on offense. Kirby has been getting some of the defenders that Nick was getting.
Being the offensive coordinator really isn’t a demotion for some one that’s a interim coach from being the receivers coach..

I don't know crap, but Dave Aranda is the person that I heard. There is a good chance that Carricker was reffering to this individual as well. Not just a hunch on my part, but from someone with close ties to the team. He also heard that the coaching search is still going on, so take this with a grain of salt. Just a name he threw out there for me. Didn't mention Bill, Lance, or Lane, though.
He needed to beat Purdue and probably Iowa and Minnesota at the least to keep the job.
Why not Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin? I don't think Iowa matters because Alberts probably wants to get something finalized before that game, although the announcement may not be made until right after the game.
See my last sentence. I think the decision will be made before the Iowa game. They'll need to make the announcement either before or soon after that game for recruiting purposes.You forgot Ioway.
There are multiple examples of interim coaches who accepted positions when a new head coach was hired. The only way zmickey leaves IMO is if he gets a D1 head coaching offer and even then I think he would be selective. He’s going to get paid as one of the top WR coaches and as an assistant head coach. That’s a good gig and he knows it.
People want Doreen fired right now out here in Raleigh. Would be an awful hire, also 80% would not be on board for thst
Their Offense is still great. They went from an all-time great offense, with three Heisman type candidates at skill positions, to a top 5 offense.
Sipple said on the radio the other day that he thought Aranda was basically out. I personally would love DA, but especially if he can bring his OC and OL coach.
Damn. If Sipple says that then Aranda is our guy.
. Aranda doesn’t make much sense other than his friendship with Mickey and Busch. He’s got a large buyout, his recruiting hasn’t been great and his team is struggling.
Damn. If Sipple says that then Aranda is our guy.
I actually like him. He’s a great defensive mind, he has a good OC and a good OL coach. The staff he could potentially put together would be impressive. But his buyout and comfort level in Baylor make it seem unlikely.
Lol that's the definition of pissing away money spending on stadium improvements and ridiculous facilities. Those things are not going to make a damn bit of difference if we don't hire a solid coaching staff in the first place.
There's no way a head coach is going to come in and have his OC dictated to him. Maybe he can get a Co-OC title, but WR coach is all that he can really expect.
