Dennis Dodd mentions Kalen Deboer as a name to watch

Arizona St is going to hire Kenny Dillingham

DeBoer is getting 16.5M over 5 years. Let's say we pay sign him to 7 years total 56M - maybe starting at 7m, escalating to 9mat the end.

It costs 12M to buy him out. That brings the total to $66M, or about $9.5 per year

That's only slightly less than Rhule is apparently asking but he's likely to stay as long as we want him. We would also be able structure a high buyout if he leaves anyway, given we had to pay so much upfront. He'd be locked in.

That might be plausible

I think if you look at B1G coaches he would probably be about 6mil a year effectively doubling his salary. All that being said, if I am Turd I am not worried about an extra mil a year if it is what it takes to get him.

I almost look at this like drafting a QB in the NFL. If you think you have your guy, there really isn't a price that is too high to pay.

We definitely know that it took a lot of convincing to finally get him to come back to Nebraska. After all of the things he was rumored to have done behind the scenes, I can't say he sounded like a guy that really wanted the job. He constantly talked about how badly he wanted to turn this place around, but then he always talked about wanting to be deer hunting or golfing. That just sounds to me like a guy that was convinced he wanted to be here when deep down he never really did.

People can want multiple things

People can want multiple things

Humans are not built for multitasking. I do not think you can be a successful p5 football coach and have a lot of distractions in your life. If your not all about football, you're going to lose because the majority of coaches you're going against are all about football.

Frost and his alleged love and passion for NU reminded me of one of the first lessons you learn about writing when you're in English class: show, don't tell.

I think that would be a solid hire for them.

I agree. That’s local sports talk speculation here in Phoenix

[TalaricoHusker]

This gives me hope that we have Rhule locked up

 

[Dell Husker]

You’re welcome buddy

 

[nja13]

The press release says the extension is through 2028. It does not give a dollar figure, which I was interested to see.
I wonder if they learned something from Michigan State's overreaction to one good year.

Jinx

 

[Tonkasker]

Still seems managable if we want the guy imo

 

[Hardknocks1]

I’ve put him real high from jump. Nebraska getting a lot of dudes paid. Let’s hope it’s not so we end up with leftovers.

 

[kaz36]

I wonder how Dean feels being whored out by agents to get their coaches contract extensions?

 

[Dell Husker]

So we know Leopold has an extension on the table right? I think that will really tell if we got our guy

I thought Klieman did as well.
