Maybe not Meyer

With Meyer's track record that must mean he's coming to Nebraska. Lol.
In all seriousness I think it's time to face the fact we are not a destination job right now. Program is a raging dumpster fire and wouldn't be surprised if many well known coaches stay away.
Don't get me wrong I would love to have Meyer. Please by all means go after him. Offer him the moon and roll out the red carpet. But I don't think that's what will happen and I'm not even sure he would say yes at this point if that did happen. Makes me sad to admit just the way I see it.

A Jim Leonhard would be a great (and realistic) get but he's heading back to Wisconsin when Chryst finally gets canned.
LL and Campbell have both turned around huge dumpster fires. Matt Ruhle has done it twice. Those guys would all make alot of sense.
Their job isn't to do any "analysis". Fox's only job is hype the B1G so they can get more sheep on Fox teets. More sheep on the teets means more money for them. End of story.
CBS sports reported they met Friday. I don’t buy they haven’t contacted. Trev met with him. urban may have said let me think about it. Saw how far off they were Saturday. Then urban told trev no thanks. Now they say no contact.
If Urban Meyer has an enjoyable, relatively stress free life, and makes a reported $8M/Yr. with Fox, (which I have no clue of his situation but it sounds good and helps me make my point so let’s assume it’s true) why would he leave that and opt for the meat grinder/white hot spotlight and current dumpster fire situation that is being head coach at Nebraska?

I'm sure they did meet. Trev said during the presser he was going to talk to many people, but not everyone he talks to will be offered the job. I'm sure they talked about the program, how to fix it, what it will require to do this, and if he had any thoughts on some coaches who could do the necessary evils to do it right.
this tweet makes it seem even more likely it will be urban. and if we give scotty 15 mill to leave we can give urban 15 mil to come here.
way, Way, WAY to much money. Washington is paying their coach $3 million a year with great results so far. No reason at all to spend even $5 million let alone $15
right lol im not saying pay the guy or anyone 15 mil to coach here but the idea that trev and co would low ball their number one target whomever that may be is ludacris
If you fired a guy and paid him 5M a year for losing your going to pay someone more than 5M for winning..
lmao ok because the guy is a coach and he has expressed admiration for the program and fans and nebraska has a lot of money.. what are the reasons he wouldnt? because its "in nebraska" because its "hard to recruit" because "we suck"
Especially when he self-destructs (his usual) after 4 to 5 years, Here's an idea - rehire Bo Pelini whose 67-27 (39-17 B1G) probably looks pretty good right now
i would take a 5 year coach at 10+ mil a year if they got nebraska back into the big ten title game a couple times and then handed it over to someone else who could keep that going.
Makes his job easier if he comes here.
Any improvement will be appreciated at this time.
If Meyer isn't interested, they would be in my top four, along with Leipold and Fickell.
Yeah. Assuming urb had any interest coming here, TA bringing him here would make Alberts look like a massive ***.
Considering he doesn’t seem to be a big fan of Trev, I’m gonna guess this won’t happen.
I would be shocked if either side so much as admitted there was a conversation at this point. Meyer isn't 'at home' in the booth. His place is on the sideline and you can bet he will be back sooner than later. Short of Trev being a tightass or an idiot, an offer should be made.
Or maybe Meyer has 100 million banked and wants to coast in a job where nobody cares if you party with college girls….
