If Rhule is a home run Fickel would be a bottom of the 9th grand slam. I’d be ok with Whittingham as well but would prefer Fickel and Rhule.

When Bo was fired I would have took Whittingham over both, but the age factor scares me a little bit with Whittingham. I just can’t see him leaving a place they will probably build a statue of him.

No I said he he’s big boned

Can we fat shame Rhule when he turns us down?

I mean Sam, Thamel, Feldman....whatever you want to say about these guys, they are plugged in and have connections. IDK man....

Sipple too.... That's 4 prominent media folks who have been downplaying Rhule to Nebraska.

 

[Turn Down for What]

Whittingham is getting up there in age and you wonder how much longer he'll want to do this.

I would prefer someone who I think will be here a while.

Sam also talked about Deboer. Dirk shot it down bc he has been at Washington for a year. Didnt mention Mel Tucker left CO after his first year.

I would be happy to see DeBoer enter the chat.

OP is correct. This is a much more fun list to talk about. Shame it's probably not the real one.

I wonder if DeBoer would take a meeting. The one difference between Mel/CU and DeBoer/UW is Washington is a WAY prouder football program. And way more supported, in both fans and booster $$$. I can easily see someone dumping Colorado after a year. Washington I just cannot see. That would be burning some major bridges on DeBoer's part. I just don't think he'd want to do that, even if he was pretty keen on the NU job.

I'd love the DeBoer idea I just am not sure he'd even give Turd a conversation. Washington program has a lot of pride and they like to act like they're a blue blood.

I heard this guy is now the leading candidate.

I find it very hard to believe that you pay a search firm. A very reputable search firm at that. You’ve had 67 days to do your due diligence, more than 67 days for Turd. Now with 9 days until the season ends and you are scrambling? I just do not buy it. The hang up with Carolina and Rhule contract I can buy.
But, what’s the point of hiring a reputable firm like CSA and you’re going to settle with a LL in your own backyard? Or a .500 service academy coach or not have your coaching hire wrapped up with 9 days left? It’s either contractual issues with Carolina or the hire is done or Turd Nebraska’d this thing and pissed down his leg, which I highly doubt.

Fickel was the coach the only time we have beaten osu since we have been in the big 10… hard pass

I guess, why are fans surprised when Nebraska screws up?

It's a theme. Not the outlier.

What some 10 years ago? Lol so you don’t think the guy has improved and developed as a HC since his first opportunity which was on an interim basis a decade ago.

All I can think of is Bauserman when I see Fickells face

 

[vailhusker]

The only info I would trust from Fat Sam is where the best buffets in Lincoln/Omaha are.

 

[Faux Sean Callahan]

In one of the extensive Rhule threads there is discussion about Sam mentioning “he doesn’t think it will be Rhule.” He also apparently said this:


The most likely scenario is still that no one knows anything, but thoughts on this? Felt like we could use a Rhule/Monkey Tits/Leipold/Campbell palette cleanser.

If you listen to the podcast....he comes off as butt hurt about the Rhule deal.

Also Sam through those two out in a "if they haven't made an announcement by after championship weekend these are my guess...."

I think more of #2ndChoice’s reaction when it looked like Bo was moving in to kiss him.

 

[Mavsker]

A few of our recruits are following DeBoer on Twitter fwiw. I doubt they know anything but it's interesting

Wonder if Benning is sticking with the "don't be surprised who they pair with Mickey" take...
