So, expect Louisville to announce an extension for Brohm soon.
Both parties (Louisville and brohm) agreed to everything but the buyouts prior to Penn state calling brohm last night. Not sure Louisville will change those terms but I know they want him to stay!

Brohm has a lot of bargaining power over Louisville if PSU wants him. Who would Louisville get who's as good as Brohm if he were to leave? There are only crumbs left after all the other teams have hired a coach.

This is how I remember it too. Anyone thinking the Frost hire somehow falls on the list of Nebraska's administrative missteps doesn't know what they're talking about. Yes, it ended up not working. But there wasn't anyone on earth who wouldn't have made or supported that hire when it happened. He wasn't a retred or unproven or whatever people are claiming with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight. He was THEE only logical hire at the time.
Exactly. NFL assistant, Oregon OC to UCF winner. Legacy national champ. How could we not hire him?

Add USF to the list of teams that make better hires than we do.
That'll be determined in 2-3 years... I get it he's an incredible recruiter and develops great WR but he has 1 year of actually calling plays. To claim he's going to be a great HC is a tad premature

Doesn't matter. USF swung for the fences on a guy who is part of a winning culture. We settled for an NFL burnout who was maybe decent in college

Golesh was in hindsight an obviously better hire than Rhule. Jealous they have the courage to get the best.

Time will tell on whether it was a good hire or not..

Golesh has 4 more wins than Rhule over the last 3 seasons while coaching in the American Conference . Not saying Rhule is great but lets not call hiring Golesh as the "best"

Golesh had more wins against ranked teams by week 2 of this year than Rhule has in his entire career.

Time has already told, you just haven't listened.

Penn state is currently focused on Brohm. If that falls through, is Rhule next?
Maybe they go the "Weekend at Bernie's" route.

No, not corch Verduzco but digging up Joe Pedo's corpse and staging him on their sideline. Dark sunglasses and maybe glue some facial hair on it

Cool.. Neither of those teams should have been ranked... Also being better than Rhule doesn't make it the "best" hire

His best season was in the Big12 but nowhere did I say Rhule was a great, even a good coach.. I was using the comparison to say that hiring Golesh wasn't going out and getting the "best"

Wins are wins and rankings are rankings, argue with a wall.

You're also not understanding what I said. Two coaching searches in a row now, USF has aimed at or near the top of the CFB pecking order and said "hey we want to be like that, so we're hiring from there."

Do you care to make a friendly wager that Hartline accomplishes more in his 1st year as HC than Rhule does in his 14th year?

11-3 and finished ranked in the top 15? How is it not?
beat nobody, got smushed by the only 3 ranked teams he played

his best season was 2016 temple, the only time he's ever won anything in his career and the last time he beat a ranked opponent

And then they proceeded to match our ****** teams record in a weaker conference..

NOWHERE IN ANY OF THIS CONVERSATION HAVE I STATED THAT RHULE IS A GOOD COACH.. You nor I have any idea if Hartline will be a good coach but calling it the "best" because they are better than Rhule is crazy talk

So that's a no? Shame, I was hoping you believed your own nonsense.

They lost by 3, 7 and 12 to the ranked teams they played.. Hardly smushed.. But again I'm not saying Rhule is a good coach so I don't really care which of his seasons was his best

What nonsense?? All I stated was someone being better than Rhule doesn't make them the "best" hire.. Not sure how you're not following that.. Never said Rhule was better than any of them

Ahem…. Very few of us knew exactly what kind of “man” he is, and how he would act. Miss me with the “everyone would have hired him” crap

Lol again I'm not sure how you're not following here.. I'm not stating a case that Matt Rhule is a good coach
He is not only a weak coach, he was a weak hire.

Golesh and Hartline, for USF, are both swing for the fences, we wanna learn from the best, home run hires.

It's not even up for debate.

I love how no one actually has anything factual to post about Frost and the "things he did"

Ohhhh, he used the golf simulator! My god!

There is a much better chance that he just isn't all that great of a coach, like most coaches...and less of a chance that he was a huge drunk, ******* college girls in a secret room at Gate 25 and tearing up country clubs to the point that the police were almost called and he was kicked out.

I know that Deer Blind poster 463 believes everything on the internet but more than likely, frost just isn't that good of a coach and just happened to have one amazing season.

Anyone claiming Frost wasn't a slam dunk hire at the time is lying.

Everybody wanted him.

There's also revisionism about Bill Moos, who was essentially hired just to facilitate the Frost hire, but he's also painted as some cartoonish villain.

YES! My god, yes!

Posters like Deer Blind will of course pretend like he/she didn't want Frost and hated Moos and knew they were "evil" blah blah blah.

The only thing Frost did that was "bad" and that we actually know is true, was the way he freaked out about the media asking questions about his life, that was just weird.

Florida didn't want him. Or at least they didn't want the rest of his staff that he wanted to bring with him.

But yes Frost had to be the hire here at the time, undefeated season and former player here. However he should have been fired after 2020 or 2021, and we should have hired Lanning or DeBoer to replace him.

There’s zero evidence to suggest Hartline will be successful as a head coach. Zero relevant success as a P4 head coach. Huge gamble. MIGHT be a huge payoff or a waste of money.

Well, my brother-in-law is a member at the golf course where Scott had a problem. He says those reports while embellished a little were true. Scott was a mess. I hope he has things together and wish the best for him and his family.

Agree. It’s also a good gamble for him as well. He has success at USF, he can get several HC gigs in the future regardless how they turn out. If he were to hire straight to Penn State and bomb, he likely doesn’t get a HC gig at a P4 program again. We know how coaches get regurgitated. Find your early successes where you can and you’re set for life after that.

Bill was in fact cartoonish. Villain? Probably not. Drunken absentee? Sure seemed like it.
