There is no way in the world that Nebraska is hiring BB unless it's as a water boy.

I could see Illinois because their standards are pretty low but not Nebraska.

Didn't Lovie Smith have a pretty big buyout himself?

It won't be Illinois, Lovie has a $16m buyout.

Is Lovie's buyout open to interpretation as it appears Bielema's is?

Haha my first thought as well.

That site has zero credibility.  Dude just makes things up.

Nebraska is going after Scott Frost

Hey we could volunteer to waive the buyout if they hire him. 

[husker71]

why would you ever give Lovie Smith a contract that contains such a big buyout (or even any buyout)  He had no job. He had no record of being successful in college football.  His options were nearly nil.  How does someone approve that contract??  By the way  there is no way BB would be acceptable to husker fans.  Not a lot of love between Hayden Fry lovers and Nebraska football lovers.

My grandparents were from Omaha and were avid Nebraska fans - my dad went to Nebraska for undergrad - my grandmother couldn't stand to sit and watch a complete Nebraska game - it made her too nervous - she was known to cry after a Nebraska loss and to write letters to the editor when she didn't like what Nebraska was doing - so, I have a fondness for Nebraska and hope like hell they don't take him - although I hope someone does

Well, he does need to land somewhere, doing something. Saves us a boatload of cash and the inconvenience of firing him if he can land somewhere.

Problem: he needs to be able to say "I'm gone" (better, "So good to be here!" at the new place) before Saturday at sundown.

He won't quit - he'll wait to get fired because of the buyout - the question is whether or not the powers that be will wait until after 1/1/18 when the buyout goes down - my guess is not - that they'll try to negotiate something with him after the last game

Sure they would..he could get those big corn feed boys to man the line....

You have to be insane to believe that Nebraska is going to hire BB!! You have to be insane to think Illinois will hire BB! Crazy pills.

Please stop sharing fake news.

[Hawghiggs]

 I really do hope another program comes after him.

If Lovie can't win at Illinois why in the hell would anyone believe Bret could.  I don't believe Bret is hireable at any P5 school right now.  Let the dust settle a bit and he might stir up interest.  Some AD somewhere might not remember his record at Arkansas and overlook doing research on the Guy in a couple of years.
