Dillingham is an Arizona State alum who wants to see them win big-time games. He's one of the rare guys who will likely not leave for money since he's already at his destination job.
Oklahoma State/Iowa State aren't going to hire a guy whose team was a Big 12 punching bag in 2023.
The biggest threat to Dana's Nebraska tenure is Rhule's stupidity and the possibility of someone like OU offering him a bag to be OC.
That’s the great thing, there is no bag that’s gonna get Dana as OC… he gets 12 mil over the next 4 years from Houston, any offset from us or other school doesn’t pay him more than that.
We are in the drivers seat, so we do what we can to keep him. Name his own assistants, pay any fringe benefits that don’t get offset by his Houston pay, etc
He has a relationship with Rhule, and a couple big years with us and he will be able to get an HC job at many places.
Fingers crossed we can keep him two seasons. Who knows, he may love just being OC again, being HC is a ton of ancillary work that isn’t actually football
