urban meyer isn’t coaching at a non-AAU school.
Why not? He already coached Bowling Green and has been rumored to always be interested in Notre Dame.
The crazy part is that Fickell has turned down MSU and basically said he wasn't interested in USC - when they inquired - and moving to the West Coast. He's a Midwest boy. His 1st love - of course - is his alma mater OSU but he's also a devout Catholic and it's well known that he would also take the Notre Dame HC position. What did ND do? Offer an assistant (Freeman) with absolutely no HC experience basically because his players liked him. Think they're regretting it now?
Rhule makes a lot of sense for them. I don't see BOB going back to college.
JayPa is the obvious choice here.
ND is cheap. Those narcissists in the administration think coaches should pay them to coach the almighty ND football team.
I don’t see Rhule going to Corn-land. He’s currently employed and not that desperate.
Emphasis on currently. I'm not sure he'd be up for a better job than Nebraska if/when Carolina fires him.
Just read on a Nebraska board that Urban's already on campus checking out the young, available coeds which will be a determining factor
From what I have read they are expecting Matt Campbell. According to one of their more reliable inside sources. Who knows
in his bar goes by the name “Cayman Nebraska”? A very strange coincidence.
I doubt they have a specific target in place. It's early in the CFB season. It's unlikely that any school that has a coach under contract would give permission for kNU to speak to their coach before the end of this season. Alberts indicated that kNU will be contracting with a search firm, and he'll also be reaching out to those in the industry for opinions, names, etc.
FWIW, Campbell signed a contract extension with Iowa State in Feb. 2021. His contract runs through 2028, and it includes a clause that Campbell would owe Iowa State $4 million if he leaves Iowa St. at any point before his contract ends on Dec. 31, 2028.
Yeah. I’m thinking that in part it was an effort to thank Frost for his services to the program, just a token of respect.
Exactly. $7.5 million isn’t all that much for a B1G football program these days. Maybe they called Warren Buffett or Charlie Munger for a donation.
Then they were wasting their time, Charlie's money goes to Michigan, though Warren is particularly fond of student newspaper that covers UNL.
Campbell would get $4MM from Nebby to pay off that clause. Not that big of a deal.
I have Campbell as the leader in the clubhouse very early in the first round.
Rhule just teed off and so far, even par.
Fickell is on the range, just warming up.
Urban does not tee off until later and depending on how he warms up he could be the prohibitive favorite.
The rest of the field is a toss up.
They put up with Gerry Faust for five years. I am sure they are disappointed, but I think you are being premature in your assertion as to their happiness or regret.
While Nebraska is a blue blood, I think they're a bit too far removed from being relevant to attract a big name like Meyer....but will be interesting to watch.
Last 10 win season was 2012. Last NY6 bowl was 2006. Last bowl was 2016...ouch.
I have no clue what their financial situation is and what they can afford to pay.

The beginning about Urban is fantastic but the payoff at the end is fantastic.
With not waiting three weeks to save the athletic department $7.5 million dollars, do you suppose some wealthy Nebraska boosters called Alberts and said, "Not another dime unless you fire Frost now!"
I don't think you have to worry about a supposition. Everything I have seen and heard pretty much points to that....and that Frost knew his time was going to be short pretty much after the Northwestern game.
I will bet dollars to donuts this decision by Trev Alberts was a lot less stressful than he indicated it to be.

My hunch is that convo happend last season and Albert went way out on a limb to give Frost another chance.
It blew up on Albert and now this becomes a hot seat for him. The next HC hire has to work out or Albert will be gone, IMO.
