Fickle You Say

Luke Fickle would be better than Mike Reilly, but he's no Tom Osbourne.
Nobody would be and nobody should expect that. He was a legend and there are few of those. Right now we just need to get back to winning more than losing and then worry about the next step after that.

Good thing we don't need the next Osborne. We need to win and go bowling again before we can dream of championships.

I'm pretty sure none of them are Tom Osborne. A Tom Osborne clone isn't available. :)

Fickell though actually has the best winning percentage as a permanent head coach of any of the three.

I guess the joke about misspelling coaches' names went over everyone's head.

It doesn't matter though, we're not hiring Luke Fickle, we're hiring Matt Rule.

Yeah if we could get Luke fickell it would be awesome. He is a great coach. He is holding out that Ryan day takes a swing at the NFL and then he'll go to Columbus
Personally I think Ryan Day would be a fool to give up his lucrative Ohio State gig and go to the NFL. How many very successful college head coaches have flamed out going to the NFL. It's two different worlds.
 
If anyone has been paying any attention at all to what has been going on around Lincoln and Omaha they would be pretty confident right now that Matt Rhule will soon be announced and the transfer portal will be full of Nebraska players as well as players wanting to come to Nebraska. Happy Thanksgiving.

I don't know if Fickell will be the choice. But I do believe that ND messed up by not waiting for Fickell's season to be done with Cincy last year. One recruiting class in not worth passing up the best available coach on the market.

Going on in Omaha? Huh? Is Rhule appearing in their shopping malls shaking hands?
I live in Lincoln, at least that's the right town. I've got some insider access. Not much, but privileged to know someone who is.
Here is what I am hearing: nothing of substance, nothing consistent. There are people with preferences but nothing else.
If Trev has shown a great ability, it's keeping things from getting out.

That would be the concern with him. As soon as Ohio State opened up he would be gone.

Except two things: First, a successful coach like Day leaving Ohio State for the NFL would be foolish. He's not going to get a better gig in the NFL and be as successful. How many successful college coaches does it take to flame out in the NFL for coaches to get that message? Second, IF Ohio State really wanted Fickell after he's been at Nebraska, that would mean Fickell has done extremely well at Nebraska or they wouldn't be interested. And I'd take that success after all these years of disappointment.

I’d be fine with having another coaching search in 2-3 years because our current coach propped us back up to respectable.
 
Fickle, Klieman or Rhule would be great gets for Nebraska.

People say Fickle is waiting for OSU assuming Day leaves for the NFL. Not sure the NFL is going to jump at a college coach so soon after the Meyer and Rhule pro experiments.

😂 Rhule it shall be. Hmmmm. I know what town the university is in. I’ve been watching the Huskers for over 40 years. Your privilege and insider access are trash. I like your smart ass comments though. Such an idiot. 😂
