Rumor #1: Trev Alberts really likes Mickey Joseph, and his support for him getting the permanent job has increased over the last few days.

Rumor # 2: The Mickey Joseph smoke has been replaced by Matt Rhule. Supposedly, Rhule didn’t show a lot of interest when Nebraska reached out initially, but that has changed. Nebraska insiders have started hinting today that an announcement is imminent, and Rhule is the guy.

My prediction is that if an announcement is made in the next couple of days then it’s probably Joseph.

It's November. Can just smell the smokescreens in the air.

Has Mickey Joseph ever been an OC?

I like Mickey but if he’s the choice, yikes.

Joseph is 2-3 since taking the head job:

Oklahoma - LOSS 49-14

Indiana - WIN 35-21

Rutgers - WIN 14-13

Purdue - LOSS 37-43

Illinois - LOSS 9-16

Trev Alberts wouldn't make it out of Lincoln alive if he hired Joseph as the head coach.

Mickey would be very a underwhelming hire but Nebraska will never be back

If they hire Mickey then that streak of sold out crowds will end. Trev Alberts can’t be that stupid

Matt Rhule has $40 million reasons to take off next year... I don't see him going anywhere this off-season unless it's a dream job type situation

This might be true if Matt Rhule has lost his damn mind



Mickey Joseph getting a shot? It's worth trying.

Twitter

Reasonably reputable Husker Twitter says it’s Joseph.

I’m as big a Nebraska fan as there is, and I’m 100% certain that Mickey Joseph will not be the new head coach. In addition, there is no stipulation in his contract that says he must be retained. The stipulation states that if he’s not retained, he will receive a 2-year buyout based on his previous salary. That said, I think there’s a very good chance the he's retained as associate head coach/WRs/director of recruiting.

The names circulating are Matt Rhule, Gary Patterson, Chris Petersen, Dave Aranda, Lane Kiffin, and Jeff Monken. I’ll be shocked if it’s not one of those. Rhule currently has the most buzz, as it was reported that Auburn was interested in him but it was leaked that he was tied to Nebraska. Auburn’s 247 also reported that Trev Alberts is deep in discussions with Rhule. Rhule would be a home run hire, no doubt.

Rhule at Nebraska would be a good get for them.

A friend of a friend (who I know is fairly well connected to Nebraska football) told me last weekend that Alberts was considering Joseph for the job

I was very surprised. Still don’t think he’ll be the guy- smells like something you let leak to do your guy a solid

Nebraska has been playing better under Joseph it seems, but I think it’s a very risky hire even though the Nebraska job isn’t as good as it once was.

I hope Rhule goes there. He is the only person who has a chance of getting Nebraska close to where it wants to be. I am not a Nebraska fan, but I have a lot of respect for their fans who always show up.
