Turd is totally going to fuck up this hire.

[Carm]

Why would we care if Monken is getting good publicity?

we wouldn't and shouldn't

 

[Mr.Bojangles]

Has OP given any reason why he is saying it will be Monken?

Just seems like a Nebraska thing to do. Kind of like starting chubba over smothers. Smothers starts we actually have a chance.

 

[God is a Husker]

Not giving a dollar to the university if it’s Monken

When we joined the Big 10 I told my wife (then GF) that we would never donate a dime to UNL because they wont need the money.


If anything my statement in 2010 is even more true now.


Donate your money to charity, not a minor league NFL team that makes hundreds of millions a year tax free.

 

[Cash68847]

The people who are calling for Monken are probably the same ones saying we need to run the option and have a FB again.

I really don’t know any people who want Monken. Hell most Husker fans have no clue who he is.

what does this even mean?


He started a thread saying this was happening and then bitching about it


when has Nebraska hired a coach remotely similar to Monken? Mike Riley is the closest example but his resume was 10x longer and even at the time it was universally considered not a “Nebraska” hire and Eichorst acting on his own. (So not “something Nebraska would do”)

 

[God is a Husker]

I think it's because both FootballScoop and Feldman mentioned him as a candidate in the last couple of days

2 people not connected whatsoever and couldn’t find Nebraska on a map say they have a scoop so they will get page views from Nebraska fans


Rinse repeat the past 15 years

The only time we came close was when Grobe said no, so your point stands.

I would love Feldman to be wrong but unfortunately he rarely is

Don’t guys like Feldman usually get their info fed to them from someone in the local media of whatever school?

Yes, but they usually confirm from multiple sources. Maybe Turd is just trolling the local media. That theory lines up with Thursday.

That’s what I’m thinking.

My guess it's because his name got put out there as a publicity favor

 

[Carm]

I would love Feldman to be wrong but unfortunately he rarely is

he mentioned 4 guys today on Big Noon and talked about Rhule first and said something to the effect that Nebraska was making a push for him. The he briefly added Monken & O'Brien because, he said, Turd has ties to them, and Gary Patterson as a darkhorse.

What I took away from this personally was that if Rhule wants the job it's his and the Patterson may be the backup plan.

normally agents, I think

Well have you been happy about any of the hires besides frost? Is what I mean I'm not comparing him to anyone.

 

[Irv]

normally agents, I think

I think Feldman knows a lot of agents and also knows a lot of P5 coaches and assistants. I think some stuff is fed by agents and some stuff is reconnaissance of rumors around the coaching profession itself.

In the case of rumors, I think some of it can be good, and some of it is the same rumors we hear.

 

[herbsinator]

If we’re going to suck we might as well run the option I guess. Finally go full circle.

 

[Blakejc]

Who is out there besides Urban where you’d be confident they could turn things in around in year 2? I don’t feel confident in anyone. Pay $9M to 6-3 Mark Stoops? Fuck that.

No one is a sure thing. I’m so tired of games like today, where we absolutely should’ve won and yet we beat ourselves. Just the hire the dude that, if nothing else, always makes the other team beat us.

Definitely not MJ, Monken, Patterson, or BoB.
