Got to love anonymous sources. And you better believe that coaches' agents call these schools (search firms) with job openings and ask that their guy's name gets dropped during the search, which they happily do through the source. Then they take that back to school X and say, "See, my guy is hot. He needs a raise to stay."
I have no doubt Nebraska would love to land Marshall, Few, Howland, Boyle, Smart, Groce, etc...but I'm betting at least half of those guys fall in the name dropping category I just described -- especially Groce and Boyle.
Does anyone here think they'll land a coach that can get them away from the bottom of the Big Ten?
Not that I doubt what you are saying about agents, but while would schools be involved? Now Nebraska looks like the job that no one wants to work for?
For the record, I have no doubt he was on the list, probably interviewed, was probably offeed and obviously turned it down. $2M is suspect though for a basketball coach at a football-only school.
