I've been a fan since watching him work miracles at Temple. Would love to see him along with retaining Mickey as well as several others.
Yeah I would love Rhule, but 10 years 100 million would be a huge risk. It unfortunately might be the type of contract you do have to pay to get him. He will be high in demand.
true, for the programs looking for a coach there's coaches looking for a program...so I'm ok with going after rhule but we don't have to get rhule..there are other coaches...defintly try but don't offer your first born,and right arm
Yeah I mean I'd rather have him than Matt Campbell or Luke Fickel.
He should keep Bill Busch as well. Bill Busch probably deserves more credit for Nebraska's two wins than Mickey Joseph does.
you would think a smart coach (if given the time to see the state of Nebraska football) would consider keeping bill, mickey and the rb coach..even if you put bill at special teams, and the latter two help you good recruits from down south and all 3 seem quality coaches
So long as he's lineman oriented both sides of the ball as he is, why's it matter?
Freeze has way too much baggage and seems to have had some problems with the truth.
I believe that anybody we hire will be strongly encouraged to keep at a minimum Mickey and Busch. Remember Busch first came back here as an analyst. Who knows how long he wants to actively coach. IF I had to guess a refusal to keep MJ on staff would be a deal breaker.
Wouldn’t it be awkward and possibly divisive to have a guy on your staff who was the interim coach and who wanted the permanent position?
If Busch gets paid more to be a position coach or a coordinator vs being an analyst, it's something he most likely would consider.
I think Mickey will do what’s best for Nebraska. That’s why we have all been pulling for him. He’s genuine
Trev would be crazy to give any coach a 10 year coach. Texas A&M and Michigan State are already showing signs of regret. If a coach has success he can be in Lincoln as long as he desires.
You pay him what he's worth. If you see how cheap you can get him, he won't come here.
it's scary, seems the last 2 coaches we got were just around for a check.
Except Ruhle is a lineman guy. Spread team or not, he gets the linemen to perform better than we would if we suddenly went back to the I formation under shotgun over night...
Well, true but I don’t think we are all positive that Rhule is the best possible candidate, though only time would tell I guess. I think my point is that paying top dollar for a guy that just got fired because he had one good season at Baylor is a bit dumb.
Leach has won at 3 different stops all difficult places to win. I think his offense has a ceiling against really good defenses but he is entertaining and no BS.
It wasn't just paying players off. He was talking to hookers on his university-issued cell phone. That right there tells me Freeze is stupid. Anyone who was making that much money and isn't using a burner phone or phones to get his side action is just plain STUPID!
I saw the Pirate keep his starting QB on the bench just to prove a point. It was when he was coaching WSU and that QB was leading the nation in passing. Oh, by the way the Cougars lost the game. He is entertaining. I think with Mike you will always have to be concerned with his wandering eye. He holds grudges, too. Still wants Texas Tech to give him the money he thinks they owe him.

Agreed 100%. This has been the problem since Callahan, which is right around the time Nebraska lost its identity. Running a unique offense means NU doesn't have to compete with the USCs and Ohio States for the same athletes.
