Also, Frost's buyout was $15 million. Where are you gettin $40 million?

That's what happens when I try to think without coffee and in the lobby waiting to get blood drawn.

But that's still a good chunk of change and they could have cut it in half had they waited until October 1st.

I thought it dropped to $15 million if they fired him after October 1, 2022, but they couldn't wait that long so they have to pay the full buyout.

Dropped from $15 ,illion to $7.5 million October 1. Booster stepped forward and told TA to get it done. Either a big dick move for clout, or someone really wanted him out that morning. Probably both.
 
I honestly think they should have gone after Campbell. I know he sucks this year, but that means they could have poached him at a more reasonable price/terms. He has proved that he can take a program that is dog shit and build it from the ground up. The fact that they are not great every year is a product of the head winds he faces coaching a shit program. Sort of like Fitzgerad at NW.

Nebraska needs a grinder if it is ever going to return to relevancy. Much like when KF came to Iowa, the Sand People will need to give the coach a couple years to build the foundation. Rhule aint that guy and you know they will back up the Brinks Truck to bring him in. Flash, not substance. The Nebraska way......

I almost think ISU recently has been more relevant then Nebby. I know money talks, but I'm not sure Campbell would jump at the opportunity to leave ISU for Nebby. Hard to coach at a shit program that's run the gauntlet with coaches lately. TBH I'd love to see Nebby's next coach use them as a resume builder and bail after year one rather than get fired in year 2 or 3. F$$K Nebby!!! They did it to themselves.

Nebraska is currently the only B10 athletic department holding zero debt so be careful.

When has debt mattered to Big Ten spending on salaries, especially with the huge conference and TV revenue packages? Covid was the worst hit ever to college athletics and everyone is a-ok already.

Rhule is .522 lifetime in college ball, and he completely wrecked Carolina.

He's 19-18 in power 5 ball and never beat a ranked team.

Someone really needs to start selling the case as to why this dude would be an improvement over Riley or Frost.

He must have the same agent and PR team as the Ferentz team.... LMAO

He was 19-18 at Temple and Baylor. Remember he had to clean up the Art Briles mess at Baylor. He is good at building culture, which Nebraska desperately needs. I realize "culture" is a buzzword in sports these days, but in this case I really do think it matters.

KF s credentials were way less. Way less.

Two things I will never get about KF.

Taking over a year to sign a contract and being allowed to do that.

Having a near perfect qb in Banks with terrific fundamentals especially late in his senior season and never going back to that style. Had Banks started the year before Iowa may have been playing for a NC the next year.

On Nebby the actually seem to want someone with some scruples. I give them that.

Too small of a sample size. Temple is below JV compared to P5 football so they hardly count, and he had a single good year at Baylor. Never beat a ranked team. Almost a carbon copy of Scott Frost, and if you remember, everyone said Riley and Frost’s biggest strengths were that they were culture builders and look how that turned out. I don’t see any objective evidence that he can coach at the Big Ten level. It’s all just coach-speak.

KF @ Maine 12-21

Old video of his teams look like Iowa in a different uni.

Maine played 1 D1 team and beat them.... a 6-5 Rutgers team.

There was no objective evidence KF could coach Big Ten level. Some still wonder, at least on offense.
 
Not to cast dispersions but didn't Frosty-boy have a combo drinking/gambling/fornication issue while the HC?
