From newest Split Zone Duo podcast/Stephen Godfrey (who is as connected as connected one can be to coaching searches):
Good process by Trev. "Quiet, smart search"
One plugged in source: "They are going to feel good no matter what. They're really happy with the depth of the list they have assembled". But that source didn't disclose any names.
Names Godfrey has heard with interest from one side or the other (no specific order): Rhule, Monken, Leipold, Doeren, Stoops, Campbell
Co-host believes Doeren would be great at Nebraska because "he knows how to build lines"
Trev has handled MJ respectfully, but it wont be him as HC
NU is ready to roll with NIL. Coach will be someone who plays NIL game. Big strike against Campbell.
Source believes its not as bad of situation as one would think
Has a gut feeling it might be done and will be rolled out right after season is over
Regarding Patterson, doesn't think there is any credibility there. He would be a "step back" because he "does not want anything to do with college football in its current or future state". Would be shocked if he is actually on Trev's list.
