I thought he was going to be our Calvin Johnson.

This is awesome:

"It's just on the bigger stage where people can voice their opinion, and in most cases, the people that are negative and voicing their opinion are the same one that can't pay their own bills,” Gundy said to reporters.

"They're not taking care of themselves. They're not taking care of their own family. They're not taking care of their own job. But they have an obligation to speak out and complain about others because it makes them feel better. But then, in the end, when they go to bed at night, they're the same failure that they were before they said anything negative about anybody else."

Rhule is not good in games. Botched timeouts, challenges are a regular thing in close ones.

Rhule’s teams often come out flat, so I’m not sure how he is as a motivator (ironically).

He seems to be able to recruit, but not we still have frosts guys at key positions all over the field.

If he’s a good coach, what specifically is he good at?

(Not picking on you, dingle, this is a general question)

IMO Rhule is a good coach but he probably hitched his wagon to the wrong play caller. Rhule I don’t believe has ever called plays and that’s a weakness. I think he’s a very good program builder and manager but needs in particular a better OC.

I also believe that fan expectations for a true freshman QB were ridiculous. I predicted these struggles against B1G defensive coordinators and defenses. Our defense other than IU has largely been good enough to be an 8-9 win team. Our offense has not. The reasons for that are pretty obvious and he’s taking steps to correct that.

Some of the problem is that we don’t have a great option other than a struggling freshman QB. . That said, if Raiola struggles at USC early, I would do what Gary Barnett suggested on the radio, bench him and let somebody else have a shot. I know you’re down on Haarberg, but the dude looked in control of the offense last Saturday when he came in and his feet might be our best weapon.

I don’t understand how anyone can look at the product he has put on the field at NU and still think that Rhule is a good coach. As a head coach he has had more losing seasons than winning seasons. Yes, he has taken two college teams from being bottom dwellers to winners, but then he bolts. So we have no way of knowing if the product he produces has staying power. Shit, even Frost parlayed one magical season at UCF into monetary gold.

I have zero hope that Rhule will turn us around. I have seen all I need to see. An uninspired team not ready to play and that is consistently outschemed and outcoached. Zero improvement from last year. Zero.

But yeah, we are stuck with him for probably two more losing seasons and empty stadium seats. What fun.

If you look at Peetz' coaching history, he and his wife will likely be moving at the end of the year.
