Wow, given the schedule that was a pretty low bar.

Well, I think most coaches are aware of Pelini's history of erratic behavior. Calling your own fans "a bunch of f***ing fairweather f***ing" fans and telling them to kiss your ass is rarely a winning strategy. But yeah, the appearance of an unstable athletic administration is a big red (pun intended!) flag for most coaches, IMO. Sure. I mean, if it's one coach, okay. But they've fired five coaches in a row. Justified or not, that is a bad look. Like I said, it's really reminiscent of UCLA men's basketball (their fans will tell you how every firing was justified too), except without the allure of living in LA and the tons of talent near your campus. Ohio State fired six HCs in a row before landing Urban Meyer. All but the first in that chain were extremely successful, and the last four are Hall of Famers.

Kentucky’s Mark Stoops is off the table, he just signed a contract extension with a raise to $8.6 million a year.

I was gonna make some joke about how they could pick up USC-reject Lane Kiffin, but I guess he's now a prospect again?
Damn, I should have been a football coach. You can get amazing money while still losing a lot.

You can get amazing money while still losing a lot. Lane Kiffin is believed to be the top target for Auburn, and his name gets brought up with just about every big opening.

I'm surprised Rhule is interested in that job. Frankly, I think he could probably do better. Don't get me wrong. Nebraska has a great history. But that's as much a curse as it is a blessing. I think he'd be better off somewhere that doesn't have those expectations. And I don't think he'll be a real game changer. It would be impossible to be worse than Frost, but I don't think he's going to do much more than make Nebraska respectable again. But maybe that's enough.

One thing I've heard about Rhule is that he supposedly doesn't like recruiting. If that's true, I don't know. Nebraska recruits pretty well, but it's not nearly as easy to recruit there as it is at some of the other places in the Big Ten and at other top schools across the country.

As long as you have assistants who do and can, it's not a huge deal. As a Head Coach, you don't have time to do it all, so it's important you know your strengths and weaknesses and delegate appropriately.

If you called Central Casting and asked for someone with the look, carriage, and speech of a great athletic director, they would send you Trev Alberts.
