This is absolutely correct. And we've already seen this with their last 3 or so hires.
If they're such a blue blood destination type program, they'd have no problem landing a big-time name to coach football. Instead they get Mike Reilly.

Maybe all the good coaches in the Big 12 will decide instead of jumping ship to these other conferences that they will just focus on beating them.
I give coach Campbell credit for being smarter than to make the move to Nebraska. Nebraska's glory days are long gone and they are a program in decline. Iowa State has arrived under Campbell.
Nebraska has entitlement mentality and the fan base is denying reality.

I don't see the three as significantly different in attractiveness for a coach like Campbell.

I’m going to agree with you here, on this specific statement, if not for the reason most would think.
Yes, they all have a very similar attraction factor to CMC. The only real difference of relevance is that tOSU is home state.
On the other hand, judging from what CMC has said, they’re all at the very bottom of what he considers “attractive”.
If anything, I’d worry more about a school like Cincy once they get into a P5 conference. Or somewhere else a national title hasn’t yet been achieved. Or some established P5 school that’s a bottom feeder right now.
IMO? We’re fine, as long as he still thinks he can meet his goals here. Which is why Jamie tries so hard to give him everything he wants.

He never does. And as he’s said, he feels that the fact that he just totally ignores these things should tell us something.
I can’t help but feel he has a point.

Herman’s wife wasn’t banging players, she would just eyef**k them in the hotel lobby before away games and play chicken topless at coaches pool parties…that members of the football team may or may not have also been at
Nebraska fans are cute. Obviously Nebraska was a good program from the 60s thru to the early 2000s (for the most part). If this was the late 90s/early 2000s then absolutely you'd think that Matt Campbell would be interested in the job. But right now? Since 2015 they have exactly 1 winning season and the rest are below .500. They have fallen completely off the map and their recruiting rankings are slipping a bit where they've gone from top 20 for most years in recruiting to now being outranked by Iowa State. When you are recruiting 16 or 17 years olds right now, recency matters. They are so young that they're barely going to remember the last time Nebraska was actually good.
Scott Frost was also a weird hire for them - he had 2 seasons of HC experience under his belt and 1 was undefeated, but the other one was 6-7. He is from Nebraska and played QB for Nebraska. Sorry to say but he set their program back more than the fans realize. The fans still believe that they're in the 90s or even early 2000s but I think they're in for a rude awakening.
CMC has built something in Ames where he has amazing job security right now and is actually beating Nebraska at recruiting. So what is it in for CMC to go to a school that has fallen off the map, and now has worse recruiting rankings than what he has now? With Nebraska fans since they still believe they're winning championships in the 90s and they're pissed because of what Frost did, they'll fire Campbell in 3 years even if he had some 7-6 years in there. It makes no sense.
Nebraska should go after someone like Bill O'Brien who already has Big 12 and NFL head coaching experience. They should be hiring a high profile OC or DC like him especially as he used to be a head coach at the highest levels, recently.. and is the OC for Alabama. Hate to say it but he'd have better luck in Nebraska recruiting a good class than CMC would.

Nebraska and Texas have to do the same thing. Texas can try this complete culture reboot getting even the 2nd tier kids in their backyard (maybe they’ve started it and maybe they haven’t). Nebraska has to do it recruiting elite talent almost entirely out of their region, kids who barely know Nebraska is a state, let alone that they were good at football when their grandpa was a kid. Even if they somehow know Nebraska was good when grandpa was young, why would they care?

ESPN's Rece Davis suggests Nebraska football "lure" Bret Bielema from Illinois to become the Huskers new head football coach.
Fun to talk about but I don’t see it. Especially regarding the players GFs. He was on a different planet.
Lol there’s no way that would end well.ESPN's Rece Davis suggests Nebraska football 'lure' Bret Bielema from Illinois

I bet Fred feels stupid for leaving ISU for the NBA. Sure, that was his dream job, but he was set up with a horrible Bulls front office that he couldn't expect to last long. Now he's stuck at a blackhole in Nebraska, where he just can't find a way to win.
Doubt it. He is/was buddies with the Chicago front office. He may have had other opportunities but that is who, it appears, he wanted to coach. He also had dug himself a hole. He knew he was going to have to hit recruiting hard to fill the hole that was coming up and as he said, he hated recruiting.
