Sign Up Now!if Turd is even looking at Mendenhall then he's already failed. that's not a name that should get any considerationIf we hire Mendenhall at this point, it's a complete fuck up by Turd and means he is scrambling.

Well, he did take VA to the orange bowl in 2019 and his worst season at BYU was 6-6 during his first year in 2005. His worst year at VA was 2-10 in 2016 (1st year). But seems to improve each year after.I don't think Mendenhall is better than Leipold or Matt Campbell to be honest.
Well, everyone can say the same for LL, MC or Monken who have no business coaching a blueblood.If it’s Mendenhall we are seriously picketing north stadium. Full on revolt. Egg trevs car and TP his house. There’s just no way Turd is dumb enough to hire freaking Bronco Mendenhall
I have a family member who worked in the BYU athletic department when Bronco was there. They weren't sad to see him go. That Orange Bowl season was 9-5 and he was below .500 at UVA.Well, he did take VA to the orange bowl in 2019 and his worst season at BYU was 6-6 during his first year in 2005.

Sounds like Dean is being used to negotiate a fat raiseDolla Dean just posted this update on Klieman:
I talked to a source close to the Kansas State football program. Folks are aware of the smoke around Chris Kleman's name and the Nebraska job.
Behind the scenes, things remain business as usual and nothing as of today would suggest he was leaving. His relationship with AD Gene Taylor is as strong as ever. They are best friends, and his loyalty to Taylor is strong.
With that said, in this situation with two bog games remaining, you rarely see a guy tip his hand on leaving. KSU plays Kansas Saturday and possibly a rematch with TCU for the Big 12 title. Win or lose, they could end up in the Sugar Bowl as the Big 12's highest-ranked available team.
KSU also open its new $60 million indoor practice facility next month. They have a lot going on there.
Something else that got my attention is Klieman is originally from Waterloo (Cockeye) and Alberts is from nearby Cedar Falls. There is a lot of common footing there. Alberts is 52 and Klieman 55.
Another thing I'll share is one Division I coach I've known for years told me this morning said an agent he knows that represents coaches say Klieman is at the top of the list right now for Nebraska. Take that for what it's worth.
Of course Dean would post that and fvck up Kleiman's name in the first sentence.Dolla Dean just posted this update on Klieman:

How is a below .500 P5 resume better than those guys?Who cares at this point? Bronco has a better resume than Klieman, Leipold, Campbell, or Doeren.
I assumed we'd have to use the entire body of work to compare these guys.How is a below .500 P5 resume better than those guys?
He's a discount Brian Harsin. He put up 8-5 seasons playing against mid-level G5 opponents. I don't know how you stunt for that body of work.I assumed we'd have to use the entire body of work to compare these guys.
Unless we're just going to look at Leipold as a .364 winning pct coach.
