Would be interested in seeing what everyone thinks the most likely hire is, and, if there is a surprise, out of the blue hire, who that might be & why?

Mine?

Most likely based on what we have heard to date: Matt Rhule

Out of the Blue hire: Luke #2ndChoice

Why #2ndChoice? He has a previous connection to CSA - they placed him at Cincy

I think he is more open to leaving than conventional wisdom says he is. He very seriously considered MSU before they hired Tucker : https://www.freep.com/story/sports/...l-coaching-search-luke-#2ndChoice/4714187002/

After this season, he may feel he has done as much as one can do with Cincy

I think Turd would consider him a great fit and a HR for Nebraska

Lane Train, #2ndChoice, Urban for the wild cards. We're using the same search team as USC, if it weren't Nebraska I'd say #2ndChoice or Lane wouldn't be out of the question but since it's Nebraska we'll probably hire Monktard
 
I don’t even know who I would put as a most likely hire - the names at the start of the search that seemed most likely have lost their lust (Campbell, BOB, Leopold). I’d have to say Rhule with the recent rumors.

I’m agreeing with you on #2ndChoice. It’s been quiet and he fits what Turd wants. I’d love that out of the blue hire.
 
Most likely hire: Matt Rhule
Most out of the blue hire: Tom Hermann

Hire that message boarders would hate but makes some sense: Jeff Monken

Here's a Jeff Monken scenario I could get behind: Monken is hired. Brent Davis takes the Army job. Monken brings in a coordinator nobody knows about....Matt Drinkall. "Running a no-huddle, Power-Spread system, Drinkall’s offense set conference and school records for points per game (54.3) and yards per game (530.8) during the regular season. The 2018 offense produced a quarterback accounting for 3,739 yards and 47 touchdowns, while simultaneously producing a running back that accounted for 2,788 yards and 41 total touchdowns. Averaging over seven yards per play, the 2018 offense additionally set conference and school records for total points, total yards, points in a game (83), points in a half (69), points in a quarter (49). All three records were set in separate games." Drinkall obviously lacks power 5 experience so let's pair him with a run coordinator, Scott Fuchs.

Monken then calls up Phil Parker and says "Sup bro? Wanna coach a defense that doesn't have to carry an entire team" and Parker says "Fo sho fuck dem racists fools in Cockeye City" *for reference I am not sure of the lingo Monken or Parker use.

Mickey Joseph can stay.

Rest of those dudes can bounce.

Sean Teter gets hired as a strength and conditioning coach. I become an insider and probably hang out all the time in Lincoln. I tee-pee Callahan's yard every Friday night so he has to wake up and deal with that before games. Idiot.

FWIW....some of you message boarders talk about Mickey Joseph being hired by the AD and not Frost as a plant to get Aranda. What about Wes Fleming? Maybe he's a plant. Former analyst at Army and former coordinator under Matt Drinkall.
 
OP was asking for out of the blue candidates. Didn't say I wanted him. Think Entz would be a disaster hire, but totally par for the shitty course we have been on for 25 years.
Honestly this is a great exercise that will prepare us for the inevitable disappointment because we will have at least considered the possibility of Jeff Tedford taking over as HC
