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

The Portland flight made me think of DeBoer. You could fly in there and drive 3 hours north to see DeBoer. It would be a little less obvious then flying right into Seattle.

I don't know how he sneaks out during a game week however. I guess coaches do it all the time? Although UW is playing Colorado so calling it a "game week" is subjective. 😂

I don't think DeBoer is gettable at this point, but a guy can dream.

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

I don't see why Whittingham would end a decades-long relationship with Utah if he only planned to be at NU 3-5 years.

I think it's beneath him, myself. It sullies legacy IMHO. It'd be like those images of Karl Malone with the Lakers, Favre w the Jets, etc. I can't see any motivation for Whittingham to do that. Doesn't seem like money would be a motivator for him at this point. And it's not like he'd be here to have a better chance at a NC. There's literally no reason for a 63 yr old legend-at-his-school to make this move to do a giant rebuild.

Would be great for us! LOL. Can think of no reason for KW to do it other than a few more million $$. But he's already filthy stinking rich. Maybe if he was dead set on coaching to 70, but I think he said he only has 4-5 yrs left in the tank.

#2ndChoice is literally the only coach to ever lose to Nebraska in recent memory. And we want this guy? Bauserman anyone?

 

[Toe]

Whittingham? A Mormon who has been at Utah since before Tom Osborne's first national championship? Really, Sam?

 

[dsbigred1]

Either would be great. I’d take Rhule over both.

IDK.. I would put him on equal plane with either.
Whit may be the toughest SOB in the country, and his teams play like him, and #2ndChoice has a perennially good team that has developed fantastic talent

The idea of pairing any coach to groom a 53 year old position coach is just so asinine

Well, yeah. If you put like that. 🤣

Mickey will be 55 in early March. Yeah, let's groom him.

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

Or who is supplying drugs on the beach. Let's not forget what he and Gumby have going on down there on the beach.

yes but i'll take it over the thought of hiring matt campbell

Matt Campbell’s hat alone should disqualify him from consideration.

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.

I don’t, he coaches in the same league fraudst dismantled. Maybe that league is just terrible?

Dude has a solid team this year after being seriously legit last year. He lost crazy talent (for a P5 team, which they are not) in the draft, yet they are still good. He brought in and his staff developed one of the best first rounders of the past 5 years or so.

 

[Turn Down for What]

Why exactly do we want Mickey to take over later?

I don't get this stance from people.

Oh, that's right. He use to play here.

 

[Huskerforlife]

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.

Dollar Dean mentioned in his TT that Deboer said that after Washington, the only job he would take is Nebraska. Do you feel that Turd might have more than one finalist for HC?

I like Mickey a lot and my favorite scenario would’ve been for him to pull off a miracle run and earn the job. It didn’t happen. He has shown some attributes I would like to see from our new head coach, but the idea to have him as “head coach in waiting” is absolutely ridiculous.

This was his one shot to be head coach here. It didn’t happen! That’s ok! It was never even on anyones radar before September, I don’t get why people think he’s owed the job. It’s so weird to see people treat him like a charity case. Mickey himself would think that was ridiculous! Haha

What kinda drugs we talking?

Fair enough I guess but at least he’s had the experience of being a HC in the B1G prior. Should know what he’s getting himself into. I guarantee he wouldn’t step into the NU job day one with the mentality that the league is going to have adapt to him.
