I wonder if he is trying to stay in the lemon light, to audition for another coaching job?  Maybe Auburn.

Rumor on the War Eagle board was Kiffin is interested.

Pretty much.

That kinda guy can succeed in college but it's way harder at the pro level.

Yes at middle-tier colleges and lower.

Head coaches at the major football universities see their families less and have to work harder than any NFL head coach.

Sounds like Nebraska is back on Rhule after being spurned by the Kansas coach.

I still think that fit makes all the sense in the world for both parties.

Oof Nebraska is going on date 2 with the gimme rather than the one they want to actually take out.

Auburn just dumped a a coach from outside the southeast without a clue as to how to compete and recruit in the SEC.

It was an unmitigated disaster. That kind of disaster even got the AD who hired him a pink slip.

Auburn doesn’t need to follow that up with yet another coach with zip, zilch, nada in their pocket concerning recruiting and relationships with high schools in the southeast.

Maybe they all realized he was a fraud.

Rhule as the Calvin Univ. Knights Coach sounds about right

There were reports that Rhule turned them down and that they walked away from him.  I wasn't interested enough to dig into it to see which one was more likely true.

Colorado and Arizona State both have recruiting issues, trying to pull from California and Texas since the talent in their respective states is not enough.  The Process can sound pretty convincing to a 17-year old.  I've heard Nebraska recruits okay, but their coaching has been a bigger issue.  Rhule doesn't help that problem, although he could improve their recruiting.

I think Arizona State may be his best fit, only because Nebraska will start having grander expectations once the ship stabilizes.  The Process has not proven it can consistently hunt big game in two stints in college and one in the pros.

I wonder if Snow wants to have another go at it, or at 67 (next month) whether he has had enough?  Without Snow, Rhule is nothing but hot air.

Rhule going off Teppers books soon?

I am embarrassed he coached our team.  Everyone can see what a fraud he is.  He comes across as incompetent in these interviews, someone who talks a lot without saying much and clearly doesn’t know how to coach at the NFL level

I do agree.  However, there have been plenty of embarrassing coaches with other NFL teams.  Les Miles comes to mind with Jacksonville.  Also, who was that college coach who accepted the Atlanta job, then snuck out to take a college job.

Mike Shula for Cincinnati . One of his players disrespected him on national tv.  The player pulled Mikes cap over his face

The embarrassment won’t be bad after a few wins.

The Athletic confirmed that Nebraska had already offered him the job earlier this month, but he wasn't satisfied with the offer so they continued negotiating until he got what he wanted.

Basically, Florio's read on the situation was total bullsh-t.

I have no problem with anyone speculating, but Florio treats his speculation like reporting.
