Had to check that “never finished in the top 10 at the end of any season” claim. You are way off. I remember them having a really good run in Kirks early years and there was actually a stretch they finished 8th in the AP three years in a row. Plus another couple other years. They looked impressive especially on the ground and lines last nightNot sure I give a shit about the eternal 7-5 or 8-4 Kirk Ferentz football team.
They accept complete mediocrity and occasional Top 25 appearances.
We suck. But being Iowa suck is a whole other level of suck and cope.
Dude is in his 25th season as head coach, is 201-122 and has never won an outright B10 Championship and never even finished in the Top 10 of the polls at the end of any season.
There is suck, and then there is accepting 25 years of mediocre results at best and bragging about it suck.
and this team will continue to sink, less people buying subscriptions and will ultimately be the demise to their profession...Too much risk of getting their press credential yanked I'd guess
How depressing is it that a guy from the KC area is coaching the #1 team and a Bama is coached by a guy from NE SD? Yet we can't win a 6th game.You have to keep the money out of the possible firing. The biggest most important "thing" is the fanbase. When you lose the fan base it is a mess.
People act like if they have to payout Rhule that they won't be able to pay other bills. They will be just fine.
The worst thing you can do is wait too long.
Danny Lanning could have been here. Hell Coach Cigs could have been here (But a lot of you sensitive bitches might not have been able to handle him).
You change until you get it right. You don't keep a guy HOPING you got it right.
It is tricky...my son is a D1 Bball assistant coach at a major university and the coaches and families are like a big family. They need each other for support and it helps the wives deal with the pressure and atmosphere. It is not like working at JP Morgan when you can furlough a guy and there is no issue. That is why it comes from "above" in many cases.There in, lies the problem. Employees, not friends.
The Nebraska "Press" needs to Sack up and as the Hard Questions.... In Fact, First question I want asked in this weeks press conference is WHEN will changes be made to this coaching staff... not will but WHEN... don't let him skate out of this... I want these guys to throw just how piss poor this coaching staff is in his face and make him answer them
3 last year
Rhule lost to Sparty’s interim coach in addition to Deion and Fickell
Spent my hard earned money to fly up from Texas to watch the Rutgers game... I'll be back deer hunting in a few weeks and thought about finding tickets and going to the Wisky game if I tagged out early, now I think I'll just save my money and head back and get an early start to Thanksgiving if that happens... piss on thisI won’t pay money to go see a loss in LA. I won’t drive to Iowa City to see a loss there. Heck I wouldn’t drive to Lincoln if someone gave me free tickets because we won’t beat Wisconsin.
This team has a losing culture and until that changes I wouldn’t make an effort to support more.
And yet here we are begging for 6 to go to a low tier bowl game... wtfMore like 10 years since Pelini was fired..
Hate to say it but our fan base would be ecstatic if we were winning 9/10 games again like we had under Pelini..
Best player on the team.I worry about Barney. If the Canes go far in the playoffs and offer big NIL$ he could be gone IMO.
I won’t pay money to go see a loss in LA. I won’t drive to Iowa City to see a loss there. Heck I wouldn’t drive to Lincoln if someone gave me free tickets because we won’t beat Wisconsin.more than likely loss. Like Ucla, the Trojans are a beatable team but I'm sure Nebraska will be just the tonic they need to get back on track. The good thing is there are only 3 more games to go. Anyone going out to LA to watch the game?
More like 10 years since Pelini was fired..MOST PERFECTLY STATED POST! Makes me sick what these "Coaches" have done to this team Over and Over and Over again for 20+ YEARS!!!! Enough is Enough!
I thought I was replying to an adult. Carry on fella
