Who should our next HC be?

From a friend who is a high school AD/football coach in Texas:

Rhule wanted three assistants at $1M+ but Trev said no.  

The timing of that would line up with Rhule's supposedly turning us down last week and Trev's "I do take very seriously being a good steward of the resources of the University of Nebraska" comment last week.

Of course, that comment was immediately followed by "we'll have the resources we need to hire the very best coach and the very best fit" so who knows.

It's one thing to not lock yourself into a huge guaranteed contract with a HC that may or may not pan out.  Assistants are arguably as important as HC.  I would also argue that one of the biggest contributors to Frost's demise was that he attached himself to a lot of poor assistants. If this is true, I would be very dissapointed.

And like, where is the line?

So paying 750K is okay but not a million?  That is nothing in the grand scheme of things.  Just pay up.

No kidding.  If NU wants to be competing with other schools, you have to pay what other schools are paying.  It's called the market rate for a reason.

That's the problem as to why other schools passed us up bc Nebraska with all that money going in to the athletic program has become cheap bastards along the way.  Guess Nebraska itself has low expectations for themselves if all of this is true.

Aren't these the same boosters that wanted Frost fired 2 games before we could have saved $7.5M?

I agreed with the timing of the Frost firing, even if it cost an additional $7.5M.  I didn't think NU could risk anything positive happening for Frost, which could end up keeping his job (even if unrealistic).  I also thought "the athletic department is willing to pony up the cash to fire Frost, that signals to me that they are willing to spend whatever it takes on the next coach and his staff."  If these rumors this morning are true, then I don't get where things have changed in the course of 2 months.

I agree. Doesn't that set the standard that we are willing to pay to bring this University back to life? What's the point of paying that buyout if you are going to turn around and be cheap on a coach and his staff? Makes zero sense. I hope this isn't the case. This fan base is teetering and are looking for a reason to keep caring. They need to give us one now.

I’ll lead the charge to run Trev out of town. The Fans need to send a message next year if this hire is a flop. This is ridiculous he says money is not an issue but won’t pony up to pay for great coaches

You won't have to if any of this is true. Trev will be running himself out of town. For me I don't understand why or who would think that Lance Leipold could lead us to the promise land. 

 
You know what I believe nothing from 247 or rivals. Screw all this noise, see what they are doing.  Pure speculation and now we got all of us in a frenzy. Im just going to stay positive that none of this is true and TA is hiring a great coach for us. If it does become true then I will deal with it then.
