Although neither would be a splash hire, I think both would do well here.If we hire LL or Monken after this kind of coaching search we can just shut the doors on Nebraska football!

I think you’re right. BUT you can only agree in principle to a deal even if it was Rhule. The university rules still apply.
Sean Callahan reported it on TOS, and repeated it today. I guess you can choose not to believe him, but that is where the information came from.

I just talked to a guy that knew him in Sioux Falls. He said in fact that he was a Husker fan then. You don’t know if he would take the job unless you ask.
Trev is too competent to not already have the person ready to sign and the terms of the agreement met. When the season ends the rest of college football will start the coaching carousel. The only reason you fire that early in the season is to get a jump on the competition. I do not know who it is, it could be one of the people mentioned. But to think this late in the process it is down to 5 is absurd.
I agree that Washington is currently the better job and Seattle would be a better place to live. You just asked the question why he would come here, I was just trying to provide some possible answers.
I don' t know, there's a lot of smoke that Rhule was the guy, but that the deal fell through just this past week. Hopefully that's not true, but if it is, then Trev is left scrambling.
Seattle isn’t the better place to live, Maybe better than Portland of the Northwestern part of the country but that’s it..
If you make millions of dollars a year like DeBoer, Seattle is a great place to be. It's beautiful up in the Pacific Northwest. I'm sure he lives in a great neighborhood that is isolated from any of the problems there.
You ever seen where Bill Gates lives? It‘s like the batcave inside of a hill and surrounded by ex- Navy seals 24 HRS a day..
LL is way above Mickey. We are 3-9. Keeping Frost might have led to 4-8 and maybe 5-7. Mickey underachieved. Peter principle in play - good guy with good morals and good recruiter but not going to change a losing culture, sorry.
Bull$&it those players were going to quit trying with no motivation just like how the defense played against Oklahoma with Chanander..
Well at some point it is what it is...FWIW I called Lombardi, Shula, Tom Landry, and Madden and it went to voicemail so I guess we have to settle a bit.
Who does Trev have the closest relationship with? That’s the new HC, I would say. It’s someone that he’s been in contact with for a good while.
I would ecstatic with Fickell and Deboer intrigues me.
I would rather have MJ over LL
Whatever, can't fix stupid. If you believe Micky underachieved you're an absolute idiot and know nothing about college football.
Let's hope not, because the coach he has the closest relationship with is Jeff Monken.
Mickey was in an impossible situation and in my opinion, he did an excellent job given the cards he was dealt. He kept the team together, they fought in each game, they are just overmatched in key areas. Not saying Mickey should be the new HC but we could do worse. Shoot, given all that went on with coaches and injuries, he still won two games or half as many as Frost did in his best year.
I don't think Trev had his guy ever in this process. There are just too many moving parts to all of this. Coaches who are working with teams that are competitive are working 16-20 hours a day. It all takes a long time.
All thr talk about a splash hire is ridiculous. I don't even know who that would be, Saban or Urban but Urban has a short shelf life anywhere so no way. But that is me. I want a long term guy who is going to be around for a long time. The question is are the fans going to be willing to accept 6 and 8 win years with occasional trips to conference championships because that is the new reality.

I've been clamoring for Fickell from day one and all I hear is "he's not leaving" or "he won't go to Nebraska" but this is exactly the kind of hire we SHOULD be expecting! Get the GD money out and pay the man!
No way in hell frost beats Rutgers… Chin would have still been trotting out the defense that scares no one in America. Frost doesn’t win another game. 4-8 or 5-7? Funniest thing I’ve read on here today.
I'm disengaging from any and all Iowa talk this week cuz you know they're going to roll out about 35 on us this Friday. I think I'm going to a movie.Go discuss how awesome Brian doing for Ioway offense who is 130th out of 131 teams.
I was at the Rutgers game. We won due to one pass from CT to TP. Other than that we sucked. Having said that - Chin sucked as was one of the major reasons that Frost failed.
