Yahoo Sports Pete Thamel predicting Leach to N

Sigh...this is one of the reasons I really wanted Riley to be successful here. I'm really tired of the coaching search/rumor mill crap every few years. Seems like just yesterday our plane was waiting on a runway in Arkansas..Imagine if that clown had stayed on the plane after he got on it.
Frost stays at UCF or comes to Nebraska. The only way he goes to Florida is if Nebraska chooses not to wait and goes after another coach.
Thanks. Looks like guess work on his part.
If not Frost bring in Ken Niumatalolo, I love watching option football
Things I’ve seen and heard is Florida May want Frost but they aren’t as high on his staff.
I don’t know why people feed the media trolls. Don’t give their POS websites the traffic and clicks, cause that’s literally all they want.
You know I don't think the pirate would work at NU but he might be a pretty good fit for Florida.....He has a place or boat in Key West doesn't he?
Good point. They need offense and he could give them that. But for some reason, no one is mentioning Leach as a possible candidate for the Florida job.
It's entertaining to read if anything but only a damn fool would believe the vast majority of this crap.
A&M is going to empty the bank for their next coach and Fisher isn't happy with the administration at FSU over lagging facilities.
Within the last few days, we have Kelly going to Forida, Kelly going to UCLA, Frost to Nebraska, Frost to UF, Frost to stay at UCF and Jimbo to A&M and Leach to Nebraska?
In other news, tomorrow is Thanksgiving, have a great and safe day Husker faithful! Try to reflect a bit about how good your life is with friends and family, take the day off from the Husker Coaching carousel, it will be filled soon enough.
Very disappointed if this happens & quite frankly can't imagine it happening. Ever.
Leach isn't someone to roll out to the necessary events required from our head coach. Moos has talked way too much about running the ball in the B1G to end up hiring Leach. 60%+ of plays are passes, 2016 & 2017, if anyone is curious. (Didn't go back further due to time). Add in his comments about embracing the past, while ______, _______, _______ (can't remember the exact quote from him but it's damn good.) Leach doesn't fit, from all comments made to date...
Roughly between November 6 and November 13, Moos had a change of statements about Mike Riley. That leads me to believe he locked up his target. This isn't his first rodeo, although it is for Green & Bounds which gives me a tad bit of concern but we have experience with TO & BOR's (ahem to latter) so Moos knows how the games are played.
Don't discount Lars' initial tweet the other day about length of contract. IMO, he got that from someone very reliable, for a reason. Same with the, what I consider whacky, follow-up tweets. He didn't pull that out of his ass - he's got plenty of connections around the Husker program, mostly from the past.
Is Scott Frost the next Nebraska coach? I don't have that answer at this time, but I can't imagine it's Mike Leach. And if it is, we should all hold back praise for Bill Moos and the entire support system behind him.

I don't see it.. He could probably completely flop from here on out at FSU and would still have a job due to his buyout. 40 million isn't something to just give up.
Gruden to Tennessee for what I heard.
Everybody just throwing their dookie at the visitors at this point.

I'm seeing all of these AD's and coaches doing some sort of speed interview event where each coach gets 60 seconds with each AD.
You're obviously kidding about that fat pig!
I understand.
Football has taken a backseat to other things over the past couple years for me. If our administration hires Leach, it may just be enough to push me away completely.
Why would any P5 school give Bielema another chance after he gets fired by Arkansas? That would be taking a big risk thinking he will revert to his Wisconsin self and not continue the downward spiral he is at with the Hogs.
Hey maybe that trip to Vegas is what killed Brett's coaching career. The wife has made him too fat and happy. When he was a lonely bachelor in Madison all he had to amuse himself late at night was game film. Now he has his trophy wife to play with.
I will join you on that one. Send my million pounds of Husker gear back to Moos.
I'm only saying that if it was between Leach and Bielema, I'd take Beilema. And I think Moos would too because Bielema would be a better "fit." But I certainly wouldn't want either of them.
Gruden has too good of a gig with ESPN to go to Tennessee. I guess Saban went to the pros and came back to college and did pretty well. I remember going to CU's first game of the year with Chuck Fairbanks as their new coach. Chuck had done ok at OU then went to the Patriots. He was not very good during his stay in the NFL. He wasn't much better leading the Buffs. I don't think he lasted very long in Boulder.
I just checked. Chuck was better with the Patriots than I thought he was. He was 46-39 making the play-offs two years. Mike Riley could only dream of being that good in the NFL, 14-34.

According to Bruce Feldman, who is arguably the most connected guy in college football our targets could likely be the following
1) Scott Frost
2) Dan Mullen
3) Kevin Sumlin
4) Bret Bielima (Please God No)
5) Mike Leach
6) Dave Clawson (Wake Forest Head Coach)
7) Ken Niumatalolo
8) Craig Bohl
9) Jeff Monken (Army HC)
Of that group I could live with Sumlin or Mullen but God help us we need Frost.
