Nebraska Cornhuskers (corn)

How do football coaches keep failing upward to the tune of tens of millions of dollars? Are there not enough of them that they just keep getting recycled around? College coaching is a cesspool designed to steal money from the universities.

I think you’re looking at it too narrowly. Yes, there clearly is a shortage of NCAA head coaches good enough to win a championship. Remember that many of the championships over the past couple decades were won by guys who are no longer coaching, such as Sabin, Myer and Orgeron. (I’m too lazy to look it up, but maybe even the majority of championship coaches in the 21st century are no longer on the sidelines?)

But the shortage doesn’t stop with championship head coaches. There’s also a critical shortage of little known, almost behind the scenes guys who can, wholly on their own without head coach knowledge or guidance, create cheating schemes to win games and championships. Those guys work cheap and can keep the cost of head coaches more reasonable…..if a program is sleazy or lucky enough to find one!

Ex-Notre Dame QB Kenny Minchey commits to Nebraska via portal​

Notre Dame transfer quarterback Kenny Minchey has committed to Nebraska, he told ESPN on Sunday.

The Cornhuskers secured their top target among transfer quarterbacks in Minchey, a redshirt sophomore with two more years of eligibility who moved on from Notre Dame in search of an opportunity to become a starter in 2026.

The 6-foot-2, 208-pound passer went through a close offseason competition with CJ Carr for the Notre Dame starting job that extended through preseason camp. In six appearances this season, Minchey was 20-of-26 passing for 196 yards and rushed for 84 yards and a touchdown.

Minchey, a former ESPN 300 recruit who was the No. 5 dual-threat quarterback prospect in the 2023 class, gives coach Matt Rhule and offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen a quarterback to build around in 2026 after two-year starter Dylan Raiola opted to move on via the transfer portal.
