Coaching Search

I am not an insider, but no one on this board is either so why act like you are. No one knows who what or where Trev is with the search. The only thing we do know is the coaches that signed extensions are not candidate. Pertaining to Matt Rhule being on campus and not accepting the job because of salary or assistant coaches salary pool is nuts. Would anyone travel to campus without all the big facts being finalized, salary , assistant pool, length of contract and buy out. If the agent let the coach do that he should be fired. Plus if a coach did that he wouldn’t have common sense and we wouldn’t want him. Plus the comment about Fickle this late in the game in also nuts. This late in the game Trev has his coach. At least knowing how he operates, very detailed and no loose ends. I am not sure who it is, Rhule, Mickey, O’Brien or someone else. We should know in a few days to a week. So this note is from a non insider. Just like the rest of you and that includes the guys that get paid to get information . I know nothing. Have a happy thanksgiving, cheer on the Big Red and get ready, without bull shit comments to welcome the new coach whom ever it is.

Coach Search Debating hire timeline as Nebraska approaches finish line

@Greg Smith and I will be debating hot topics around the coach search as Nebraska gets closer to the finish line. First up: Should Nebraska announce a new coach before the end of the season? Should the Huskers have already done that?

Watch below or on our YouTube channel. Podcast form is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon and Podbean. We will also have written stories coming every day this week on the search.

Westside Kicker Tristan Alvano

Kid deserves his own thread.
5 for 5 in cold weather, including clutch championship game winner.
4 of the 5 were beyond 40 yds, including a 50 yd kick that cleared easy!

Others said it it the game thread, but kid needs a scholly offer before he goes to bed tonight.
You get a local “winner” that can do that, you need him on your team.

Chris Klieman has to be the target now

1) success in a P5 division
2) has shown he can beat teams like Oklahoma and develop a line that controls the LOS
3) he did it with Husker players, which is the most compelling factor

obviously, if Urban is available you pull that trigger (spare me the sanctimony), but as far as i'm concerned, Klieman brings more to the table than Campbell or Leipold in terms of tangible results and evidence of a quick rebuild into a tough team.

i know this board has a love affair with Aranda, but something tells me he's awaiting an SEC payday

Question regarding Mendenhall

If he is the guy I’d like to know why so many are against it. Very successful at BYU (it does seem like most are). Took over a Virginia team that lacked success and won 9 games in 2019. Looks like things went down hill during Covid. Could be he lost the team and could still be a good coach fit at Nebraska?

Some people are driving themselves into a frenzy. I’m looking forward to this search being done.

Football Five Takeaways: How Mickey Joseph laid program foundation as future up in air

Another insightful Mickey Joseph press conference as he spoke about laying the program's foundation and said he still has not talked with Trev Alberts or any Nebraska administrators about his future with the Huskers.

And Casey Thompson was also insightful, giving some background about his non-football future and discussing some of the things he has seen that have prevented Nebraska from getting over the hump:

Predictions: When/Who-the first real leak.

I think it is safe to say that Trev has done a great job (maybe) of not letting info get out. So when do you think we get that first leak (and will it be an intentional leak by the school? and who will it be about?)

I think we hear something on Thursday, I think it comes from a local writer and I think it will be about Luke F.

Football Trev Alberts appearing on Huskers Radio Network at 6:05pm CT

Trev Alberts is set for his monthly appearance on "Sports Nightly" via the Huskers Radio Network about 90 minutes from now (6:05 p.m. CT). Seems like a relevant and interesting thing people might want to listen to. Will have a story out updating the most relevant information on the coaching search after he talks.
