I think Campbell is a better coach. Has gotten better players in the NFL than Rhule. Has more quality wins. Did Rhule and Baylor ever beat #3 Oklahoma? No. Rhule is 47-43 in his career as a coach. He also coached Baylor to a 1-11 record. You willing to see that at Nebraska? No way he is even in Trev’ top 5.
Yes, he isn't young (but he is an up and comer). 58 is pushing it. But Nebraska couldn't get a 'great coach' after Solich, Callahan, or Pelini. Frost was the only 'great coach' hire, but he was different because he had Nebraska roots. If they couldn't get one before there is zero reason to think they can get a name, or 'great' coach now.
So since your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice is urban Meyer, Round out your top 5 for us
I’d bet Trev isn’t even sure what he’s thinking at this time. I’m sure it’s a pool of moving parts. If he can lock down, announce, and bring in anybody until after the season anyway. He’d be silly to be any too far along in the search.
I hope so. Seems like a no nonsense kind of coach that has big ten/midwest coaching.
Let me clarify it again I never said Campbell or Lance Leipold aren't good coaches. IN MY HONEST OPINION do you think they can have sustainable success here. It's going to take another 3-4 years of hoping that they can be good it wont be a short rebuild. Trev should swing for the fences and not go for a conservative search. You guys keep telling me about past candidates that past on this job you have to think that money had to be involved and how much Nebraska was willing to spend at that time. Nebraska has more money to spend now more then ever so at least go try and get the best available coach. One that has experience winning at a high level and having consistent success. That's what Nebraska should go do to become successful again in my book and I know I'm not the only Husker fan that thinks about it that way.
Urban Meyer, Chris Peterson, Mark Stoops, Dave Aranda, Kyle Whittingham. A nationally known coach. Not saying anyone of them would come but with enough money in their face someone would accept.
This is exactly what I thought about hiring Campbell away from Iowa State shortly after he got there....so we should steal any area coach who gets a few wins? That's creepy.
