Counterpoint: Rhule already has one foot out the door.
However in B1G Geopolitics I don't know if is better to a Rhule to stay at Nebraska while Penn State gets a mystery box or have Rhule at Penn State while Nebraska gets the mystery box. Also except for Key and maybe. maybe Kiffin, Nebraska and Penn State would shopping for different guys and I am more nervous about Nebraska's shopping list..
No way Kiffin or Drinkwitz would take the job. Those are both top 15 jobs. And WAYYYYY more comfortable than PSU.
I’d think Diaz would have to be on very short list.

None of those strike as a huge upgrade from what they just fired. Kiffin has lots of wins but not the big game wins. And that was why they didn’t like Franklin.

Coaches have fooled before but Bret talks like a guy that sees what can be here and wants to take it there.
He seems plugged into every aspect of the program and fully invested in the program and community.
He has also talked about being humbled at Arkansas and having to regroup a bit. He’s seen the grass isn’t always greener on the other side of the fence and came back to his roots
Well he can’t go anywhere in the big10 and he’s already experienced the sec. The only thing I could see him leave for is the nfl and I doubt that would happen
That may or may not be true but they are doing better than Kiffin and Drink. Both are top 15 coaches. None of the top 15 are interested.
Historically, programs that do what Penn St did (firing a coach with a winning record) end up with an equal or worse coach.
Penn State fired a winning coach to find a great one. What does history say about that decision?
From Wisconsin hiring Luke Fickell after Paul Chryst and Bill Belichick following Mack Brown, the history of firing a good coach is sketchy.

Meant to say they are NOT doing better than those two coaches

From the article, since 2011, 29 programs have fired coaches with winning records. Of those 29, 12 programs got worse, 12 stayed the same, 5 got better.Historically, programs that do what Penn St did (firing a coach with a winning record) end up with an equal or worse coach.

So they’re about 2.5x more likely to get worse than better. I like that.

Also what if Penn State gets Rhule and Nebraska finally gets the guy who fixes them hehe.
Kiffin is 5-6 against top 10 teams.
Kiffin and Drink ain't leaving. Matt Campbell would make more sense than any of thoae IMO.

I just got this from a Minn Alum friend. He believes contact has been made…
I haven’t seen chatter elsewhere on this. Has anyone else?

Not going to lie, the photoshop method is one the best methods to predict the future. If the photoshop looks unusually natural, it might be a sign.
No, but PSU could do worse. He's a good football coach, just weird.
Would be really insufferable as the PSU coach lol. What would the new catch phrase be? Stalk the prey (lion)? We are, the boat rowers?
He would kill it at Penn State

Fleck is what you’d get if Beckman was a good coach. A total nerd but he’s a good coach.
