We just received word from University of Nebraska-Lincoln chancellor Harvey Perlman on the topic of other coaches targeted for the Husker head coaching job.

Apparently, Mike Riley was the only coach in the running.

"No other coach was offered the job. When you file your public information request for finalists you will discover there was one finalist, Mike Riley. There is absolutely no truth to any rumor or speculation to the contrary."

This obviously puts an end to speculation that former Wisconsin coach and current Arkansas boss Bret Bielema was offered (and turned down) the job.
