Who should our next HC be?

Wow I can understand why you feel that way but apparently your not paying attention to facts or you are simple ignoring them. Just bc he is 47-43 as a coach it may not seem impressive but what he did at those programs speaks volumes. Nebraska would pay to play in the Sugar Bowl shoot let alone play in a bowl game. But I would say his name is more recognizable then Riley or Callahan. You do whats best for you as long as we dont hire a Matt Campbell I'm good.


I don't want Campbell here, but he'd be a better hire than Rhule.

 
For those saying Mickey should be given the HC job at Nebraska (still can't believe they are out there) consider the following:

No experience being HC at any major level.

Questionable leadership ability allowing Whipple to remain on staff after several games blundered away by our offense. 

Questionable end of game management skills and game time management skills. 

Has no idea that on a windy day you want the wind at your back in the 4th quarter.

Allowed Whipple to keep Purdy in when it was clear he is not an FBS level QB which lost us games.

Mickey is an amazing WR coach and recruiter.  Any HC would love to have him around and hopefully he is retained by Matt.  But to make him the HC would be a monumental blunder and one we can ill afford given our predicament.

But he’s from Louisiana, so that should trump all his shortcomings.

 
One of these is too weak:

Matt Campbell's best record in the Big XII*: 8-5

Matt Rhule's best record in the Big XII: 11-3

*non-COVID year


Iowa State has never, and will never, attract talent - doesn't matter who the coach is.

Baylor has ballers every year by virtue of being in Texas. It's still a crap job which is absolutely not comparable to the B1G meat grinder.

Campbell will end up somewhere great eventually, while Rhule's best days professionally speaking, are most likely behind him.

12 years and never broke into double digit wins Matt Campbell??  Currently last place in the Big 12 Iowa State Matt Campbell?? Talk about Mike Riley 2.0.

I bet there are a lot of Iowa State fans that would LOVE for literally any program to take Matt Campbell off their hands right about now.  I recall Oregon State fans coming onto our boards when we hired Riley and telling us how happy they were that he left.

Talking about Rhule being the next coming of Riley while also talking up Campbell. Campbell is more similar to Riley than Rhule at the college level.

I'm definitely NOT "talking up" Campbell - simply saying he's a stronger college HC than Rhule.

And to all you Rhule-lovers out there; if the announcement doesn't come tomorrow,  then Rhule did NOT get the job.

Its not necessarily true on Iowa State or Baylor. You could say the same thing about TCU. Campbell isnt going to end up anywhere real soon except for his house if he doesn't turn Iowa State into a winnable program. They don't expect for you to win championships there but they also dont expect you to be dead last in the conference either. Matt Campbell status as a coach has went way down with the losses that have piled up and just bc Rhule lost in the NFL that doesn't mean his best days professionally are behind him. College and Pros are totally different.
