He's right and there's no reason Nebraska should be lower than 5th or 6th in terms of financial commitment among the "new" B1G.
“You wanna be a 10 win team and you’re spending in the middle of your conference.” Nebraska 12th out of the 18 teams that will make up the new B1G

shots fired at the AD/Chancellor
or at the fan base

the Husker rallying cry since 2016
Seems like a shot at our AD. 😬
Well if he gets the kind of financial backing he’s looking for he better deliver. From what I’ve heard is that NIL donors are pissed about the Sims debacle.
I’m looking for context on this one. With the $155M facility and now the $500M + stadium addition, I find it hard to believe we are 12th out of 18 teams if Facility / stadium spending is included.
Yeah, what "spending" is he talking about?
BTW, whatever it is, if true, I agree with him wholeheartedly.
He was answering a question about Tony White taking a head coaching job while also getting his own dig in
With regards to White - we may never face the collection of offensive ineptitude that the 2023 delivered. White’s stock may never be higher after putting up those defensive numbers playing horrible offenses

I refuse to believe the NIL market for Sims was that competitive this past offseason given his body of work at Georgia Tech. Not exactly the type of player that'd warrant a Cam Newton-level bidding war.
Mostly assistant coaching salary pools. But it's hard to not also look at our NIL collective when it's a toss up between Jeff Sims or Ochaun Mathis being the most high-profile transfers we've gotten so far.
It wasn’t the competition of getting him, it was the amount of money they payed for the results they got.
Hope he's not lobbying for a raise for any of the coaches on the offensive side or for the special teams coach.
Trey Palmer was a pretty highly regarded transfer and he panned out better than we could’ve hoped for. In the end it’s like recruiting, not every high profile guy will be a hit, but that doesn’t mean you stop playing the game.
So if there is more money will you hire a real OC ? Will you hire someone that knows when to call a time out?
Who cares what some
Media guy says. Most are no smarter than the average fan even with some team access the have. They just have the mouthpiece to put it out there and people think they really know more.
I mean Deano Callahan calls himself an expert. That's pretty dam hilarious.
Yes we need to improve in many ways. That's apparent.

I didn't watch this whole press conference and don't understand the context of his response, but it's a really bad look for Nebraska and for him. He's one of the highest paid coaches in the game for below-mediocre results, what financial commitment is he looking for?
LMFAO. HAHAHAHAHA.
Deion territory.
Don't expect us to develop these kids, just pay for them and make us look good.
CFB is a joke.

It’s concerning on multiple levels. First he’s speaking publicly about it at a press conference, where perhaps it’s best to converse with Trev in these matters privately. Second, I don’t disagree with his statement but it sounds like scapegoating a bit to me. Complicated situation all around.
The only person even a little happy about the Sims debacle is Sims.
This moves him into piece of crap territory.
Why? Does the truth upset you? For crying out loud there is all this self bravado about how important football is here yet teams like Iowa invest more.
If he wants that job (which I highly doubt), he better win on Friday. I don't think there's any chance that A&M would hire a coach coming off a losing record at another school.
Yes, a lot of really crappy things are "truth", doesn't mean any of us have to agree or accept them.
This is lame pussy excuse making levels of "truth"
I bet our players would have turned the ball over less if we paid em more...and no doubt Rhule goes for the win in regulation 48hrs ago if he had another mil added to his salary.
So does this mean we’re paying our DC too low of a salary and not willing to increase this?
I don't know, they pretty dumb.
Rhule doesn’t strike me as a guy that would make a passive aggressive shot at our AD in a presser. Maybe that’s just wishful thinking on my part
Ok, I was a Rhule supporter… but someone making 9 mil a year, and is top 4 in the conference is saying we need to spend more to win 10 games?
WTF is he talking about?
Sorry, dudes about to go on my shitlist

1. He’s making much more than 12th out of the HCs in the Big 10.
2. He also went low with his staff.
3. It reeks of excuse making.
And it’s about f*cking time this came out of his mouth. THIS is why he may or may not be looking @ A&M. Nebraska, with the dichotomy between the expectation of winning but complete lack of commitment from the fan base, is where talented coaches come to die. He should flee to Texas unless things change IN A HURRY. Should’ve happened by now.
Our fan base isn’t committed to winning, they just wanna bitch about it. My respect for Rhule just went up a lot, but I hope for his sake he knows when to bail; and not fall on his sword.
He’s 100% correct… it’s guys like you who can’t see that Wins require Money that’re burying this program into the history of ‘Once-good’. It’s shocking you can’t see how this has become reality. Look around.
