I think hiring the KSU guy makes more sense for Nebraska. Resume a lot stronger. He is likely to play for Big 12 championship after beating KU by a lopsided score. I cant even imagine why Nebraska would want Leiopold after watching his team lose 5 out of last 6 and be slaughtered by Texas . If Leiopold does leave, I would offer the offensive coordinator 4 million in hopes of making it more difficult for Leiopold to succeed. If that is turned down, we should go for Coastal Carolina coach and hope he brings his whole staff. Hopefully our young AD is up for the challenge as we cannot go thru a lengthy search with recruiting in high gear.
Looks like Wisconsin is going to give Joseph (the interim coach) the permanent job, so that kind of leaves Nebraska as the only opening that Leipold seems to be a possible candidate for. Interesting if Leipold would even listen to Nebraska considering the soiled past relationship with Alberts. It appears from the stories that Leipold doesn't really care for him at all, and I can't see him wanted to work for the man. Now if Alberts was fired....that would possibly change everything, but that's not happening. I also think Leipold is the type that wants to finish a job he started and then reap the rewards both where he is and possibly parlay that into wherever he wants to fiinish his career. He's probably got 12 years left in coaching (that would make him 70 years old). The job here at Kansas is either his last or next to last. You make him an offer so over the top that it makes him cry. If he leaves even with that on the table, then you've just let everyone in America know what KU is willing to do to get football back to consistent winning seasons.
