All I have to say is NU opened up the wallet to sign Rhule. Now sharpen your pencil, find some more available money and GIVE the man the money it's going to take for him to round out this overall staff with the very best available candidate that's hireable.
We have the 3rd largest assistants salary pool as of the moment.All I have to say is NU opened up the wallet to sign Rhule. Now sharpen your pencil, find some more available money and GIVE the man the money it's going to take for him to round out this overall staff with the very best available candidate that's hireable.
This is no time to get cheap just because NU paid big money for the HC. NU can't be losing a potential staff member over something piddly like 100K or so. Find the money.
The assistant pool is $7 mil. I think that should be a good amount for Rhule’s 10 allowed assistants.All I have to say is NU opened up the wallet to sign Rhule.

How about an original thought? Including 3-4-5 wins a year due to incompetent staff?Consistent quotes:

The $7 mill had to negotiated by Rhule so he has to make that work. There are limits to everything.
Hopefully no more straying from what has been effective on offense to something safer (aka run up the middle every play) with so much time left on the clock. Playing too safe too soon has cost us games in the past and nearly cost us the game against Iowa. We started playing safe early in the 4th quarter and I remember thinking....Here we go again.
I disagree. Playing not to lose too often ends up biting you in the @ss. We were lucky their backup QB wanted to give us the ball.Opening up the offense would have given Iowa a chance to win.
It was the fumble that made it close.
Take that away and we win by 14.
Choking and not having a running game is what cost us games.

It would have been an easy win had Newsome made those 2 interceptions.I disagree. Playing not to lose too often ends up biting you in the @ss. We were lucky their backup QB wanted to give us the ball.
I don't think we have to worry about Rhule doing that. And glad that the fool that did those dumb things is no longer the coach here and has left town!no more onside kicks up 11

Since Rhule says he'll have his staff complete by Friday and on the road recruiting, I don't think you have to worry about any former Nebraska assistants having sufficient notice. They already know they're terminated.May be that there will be no hold overs.....not even the analysts. If thats the case......let current staff go immediately so they can start looking at options.
People are going to lose their mind if the only guy he retains is Raiola🤣. Personally I would be fine with that. I think he made some slow progress with some guys who in some cases aren’t very physically gifted.Any word on Offensive Line Coach yet?
Rhule's OL coach at Baylor, Shawn Bell, is now QB coach there...so seems unlikely to leave. His OL Coach at Temple, George DeLeone, passed away this year. He fired his first OL coach with the Panthers, Pat Meyer. His latest OL Coach at Carolina, James Campen, is a longtime NFL coach who has never coached at the college level.
HARD PASS.People are going to lose their mind if the only guy he retains is Raiola🤣. Personally I would be fine with that. I think he made some slow progress with some guys who in some cases aren’t very physically gifted.
Rhule is an old O line coach so if he retains Raiola I think some of us might need to re-evaluate our feelings about Donovan. Rhule has watched all the film of his line. I don’t think it’s likely but the meltdown might be entertaining.HARD PASS.
Completely agree with them.Talked to a college coach and a high school coach and both of them said when you are not a real good offense and the offense is working you keep your foot on the gas. Make no effort to slow down. Do what got you there and continue doing it. Nebraska did NOT do that against Iowa. If you think they did you are not aware of what you were watching!
I honestly seen it more times in high school bb. On a roll and then try to slow it down and play keep away. More times than not it hasn't ended wellTalked to a college coach and a high school coach and both of them said when you are not a real good offense and the offense is working you keep your foot on the gas.

In the unlikely event he keeps Raiola it could be the OL coach he wants is still coaching or Rhule may not think Donovan is as terrible as we think, or if he thinks the OL can be improved enough to maybe have a shot at the Raiola kid if he is unhappy at OSU. The least likely is that he will retain Raiola.People are going to lose their mind if the only guy he retains is Raiola🤣. Personally I would be fine with that.

All possible scenarios. I honestly can’t be sure it was Raiola’s fault or just the hand he was dealt talent wise. Rhule would be a much better judge of that.In the unlikely event he keeps Raiola it could be the OL coach he wants is still coaching or Rhule may not think Donovan is as terrible as we think, or if he thinks the OL can be improved enough to maybe have a shot at the Raiola kid if he is unhappy at OSU.

Or he may want to hire Raiola cheaply, mentor him and use that smaller salary to use for a larger salary for someone who he still wants to hire but is short with allowed money for hiring.
Would love to see him retained in an analyst role. He’s done it before.
They have guaranteed contracts they will be paid through their contractsMay be that there will be no hold overs.....not even the analysts. If thats the case......let current staff go immediately so they can start looking at options.
Teddy and Nouli being out severely hurt us.All possible scenarios. I honestly can’t be sure it was Raiola’s fault or just the hand he was dealt talent wise. Rhule would be a much better judge of that.
Then Piper kind of finally gets it figured out and he got hurt.Teddy and Nouli being out severely hurt us.
While I agree in theory, in practice, every one of those coaches will find ways to shorten the game any way they can. Run it more, just a few times more, it doesn't take much. play safeties a couple steps deeper. I don't think all of the feet on the peddle steps are quite as obvious as just plowing up the middle for three straight runs.Completely agree with them.
