I say 9 wins and one of those wins being Iowa and Rhule is safei'm fine with walking it back to "there were signs it would be this way"
i vividly remember the 24 point collapse against Oklahoma in 2019. defeat was written all over Rhule's face in the 2nd half and it permeated into his team. that was when i realized he just isn't the type of coach who can stand in the fire and win big games that define the program's culture.
i'm open and hopeful to being proven wrong on that. next year's schedule looks to be much easier than this year's schedule, but frankly anything less than 8-9 wins would be a tremendous disappointment after 3 years.
