fair enough.

too bad both of these feathers in his cap (not undersigning, walk-on program) will be obsolete in '25 and beyond.

Lane Kiffin was on Cowherd yesterday explaining how he handles the transfer portal. Basically, you can take some questionable locker room guys, but you can't too many and you have to have them at a position group that is mature and stable.

He also had an interesting take on why he plans to stay in CFB. Said in CFB you get rewarded for winning. Winning equals better recruiting. In the NFL winning gets you higher draft picks. I think they also give you a harder schedule?

Playing well against stout competition here in SoCal.
Next up is this weekends game vs St John Bosco, and if he happens to win then gets Mater Dei

Those two programs are the best nationally in HS football, without question.

I do think his high school recruiting seems to be organized and planned. He is the first coach to not under sign and I thought his use of NIL walk-ons was something the last coaches wouldn't have been smart enough to do. He also closed some hard fought battles like Brix where I don't think we win those 5 years ago or 10 years ago.

Awesome but he is shit for hiring coaches and game management....and keeps his fvcking buddies on the payroll.

Yeah, definitely not disputing that. Just pointing out to OP that his recruiting planning and organization seems to be spot on. Not saying that is a reason to keep him.

Yeah, and I know you said the same things about Frost, and Riley, and Bo and on and on and on since TO. This time it's different. This guy is finally the answer. Yeah, he's got some problems, but look at all the good stuff he's doing. You're an eternal optimist, which is fine. But some of us are sick of it and tired of having false hope over and over. It's the definition of insanity.

The definition of insanity fits exactly what we have been doing as a fan base. Calling for new coaches after 2 seasons.

Let it play out. There is good things that can blossom if we just stop with all of this other BS. To be honest this program needs less limelight to maybe have time to rebuild.

literally nothing about Rhule's program appears organized or well-oiled.

literally nothing.

glad you enjoy hearing him speak. it's clear most everyone else has heard enough and wants to see it on the field.

you do this pig-headed thing where you damn the torpedos (reality) and put your foot in the ground about certain people, insisting that reality isn't reality and anyone who uses their eyes and brain is being emotional.

same exact script with purdy (he'll be a UDFA! nope, he's a Mountain West benchwarmer on a terrible team) now repeating itself with our head elf.

Did you apply for the head coaching job? After having to listen to your constant rants over the years, you seem to have all the answers. I mean; you're always the first to tell us what the issues are, and aren't. Your track record throughout your multiple identities seems to have one goal, and that is to undermine a group of fans while disparaging the Huskers as a whole. Honestly, nothing positive ever comes from your rants, and that goes back to your Rambo screen name wishing ill will to a decent person. Calm down; your tendency to criticize all aspects related to the Huskers simply because they do not align with your perspective is brash. It's a very narcissistic attitude.

In 2 years here we’ve been forced to fire at least one coach weeks prior to the season starting 100% of the time due to off-field transgressions.

In 50% of Rhule’s seasons here he neglected to hire a coach for the most important position in all of sports (QB).

Game management has led directly to losses. He was forced to make a change due to abhorrent and inexcusable on-field performance and the second new eyes get here it’s “why don’t you block? It’s embarrassing.”

10-12.

Nothing about Matt Rhule’s NU suggests “effective management”. Literally nothing.

None of the above has anything to do with frost or the fans.

Im going to guess that you voted for a guy similar to what you are describing on the very first and 2nd line. I would think that that correlation alone would give you some patience and understanding with regards to the highest profile job in the state.

This is what I find funny with some of you guys. You don't apply the same standard to many of the people that you believe are supreme leaders. Tremendous leaders. Bold leaders. Tough guy leaders.

I've been to practice. I've seen Rhule chew ass, and expect perfection. Your anger is misguided.

I agree Rhule has made some very poor hires as assistant coaches. That’s very obvious. However I don’t have a great deal of confidence he would get it right the second time around either. He had lots of coaching experience BEFORE he came to NU and missed. Did he just get smarter in the last 2 years? And then there is the elephant in the room nobody wants to mention. Maybe NU is no longer a highly desired spot for coaches? One way or another, change needs to be made.

Have to give Creighton some props. KBB has done well despite forever being second fiddle to the Big Red

We are done hearing talk. We will listen only to the results on the field.

And if this surprises Rhule, then he is fool.

No. I'm just not going to worry over things I have no control over. We hired Rhule to rebuild the program. Sure, we'd like win sooner rather than later. If you can't stand the process then just check out until Rhule's contract is over. Hopefully, we will turn the corner soon. I'm not going to sweat yesrs one and two. It does make it hard as a fan though.

Last year there were 1682 Div 1 football players that entered the transfer portal. I would suspect that will be close to 50% higher. 121 of those players either went to a lower division program or stopped playing football. I would guess that number will be 400% higher or more.

Where did you get these numbers? Just curious.
