Sorry to tell you but the B1G schools have made more than sec schools for the last 5 years by roughly $8M/year. Once the new contract kicks in the B1G schools will make close to $35M more per year than Sec schools.

Mullen was a bad hire for Florida.
Should have been perfect. He doesn’t like to recruit, but they can’t throw a rock without hitting a 4 star. He’s a legitimate offensive coach. All he would have needed is to do a little recruiting of the right guys, and go get the best DC they could afford.

That program will need a minimum of 4 maybe 5 years to turn it around and a whole lot of patience. Take out all the candidates that are over the age of 55.
Scott Frost was the right hire but it should show you how far back they've gone as a program.

Is that how Tennessee ended up with Heupel?
The situations are nowhere near the same. Maybe if Tennessee joined the Big 10, then it would be relevant but Tennessee still recruits the same footprint it did when we were good. It did need an identity, but we got that wrong with Pruitt. Despite it looking good so far with Heupel, we don't really know what we have, and even if he comes good and we become a 9-10 win program again, it was simply luck.

He was a home run hire but not the right hire.

Their fan support is second to none
I know this is hard for an SEC fan to understand but Nebraska has the most committed fan support in the country.
I've always called them the "Stepford Fans".
They literally walk around starry eyed thinking about their Huskers.

I don’t know what you think about SEC fans, but you do realize some of the people you are talking to are Arkansas Razorback fans, right? A state of 2-3 million, with a school that has facilities better than or equal to states and schools with 10 times the population.

I think Mark Stoops and Sam Pittman are both on the list and hope both say no, especially Stoops. I like Stoops and respect what he’s done and think Nebraska would ruin him.
This isn't 1975, 1985 or 1995. In 2022 Kentucky and Arkansas in the SEC are far better jobs than Nebraska and that won't change any time soon.

The Nebraska job is a mid-tier job these days. Think Kansas State.
No one is voluntarily leaving a SEC coaching gig for Nebraska.

Even at programs like Florida, you still have to go out and get the players. He was a safety net hire from State that got out before he found out if he was going into a decline or not. Going to Florida was temporary job security.

Nebraska fans get exactly what they deserved. Reminder:
“ Pelini left the NU football program with a 67–27 record, winning at least 9 games in every season.”
They fired a 9 win minimum guy and look where it got them.
Don't forget they also fired Frank Solich, who averaged 9.6 wins per year and won 10 or more games in 3 of his six seasons. He went 9-3 the year they fired him.

Except we have. All we get is a pro rata increase (enough to pay those two schools what the others are already making). Which is ridiculous given that we added two blue bloods in a huge market. We could have added Memphis and USF and gotten the same payout from ESPN. Another huge negotiating blunder by the SEC (just like the disastrous long term deal CBS got for our best game each week and SEC title game).

This is why Nebraska should be the highest paying job in the country.

The records for Solich and Pelini are a bit misleading. Yes, they won 9 games a year, but when you beat 9 teams you’re supposed to and get your doors blown off by the 3 ranked teams you play, are you really anything great? The years those guys were fired, most of the losses were lopsided. The recruiting under Solich was falling. The new AD (worst hire in Nebraska history) had it in for Pelini. Pelini’s antics and things he said to the media certainly didn’t help.
As for money, I don’t know about having more or less than anyone else, but they do have the horsepower to raise $7.5 million in a night to fire a coach 3 weeks ahead of a buyout cut. They will also have a new $155 million athletic facility finishing next year to go along with the $100 million they dropped into the facilities about 10 years ago. Money won’t be the problem to get a coach.
Lastly, I don’t think a fan of a team from El Paso is qualified to run down Lincoln.

Nebraska isn't a better job than both of those programs.

If he could win at Utah, he can win in Nebraska. Does he want to risk the hit to his coaching rep if he don't. His name recruits. He'd be their best bet if he's remotely interested. But who dafuq wants to move there?
He might be the only sure bet to win big at Nebraska. His "scandal" last year wasn't a big enough deal to linger. But when he decides he wants to coach again he can take his pick of jobs easier than Nebraska.
(When, not if. And I'd sure hate to see him at TX.)

Bill Clark might want to return after the year off.
I like Nebraska's stadium and history. I haven't watched a game there, but visited the stadium. There's no real reason they can't be on par with Iowa and Wisconsin at a minimum.
