Its about dam time. 4 months to late.
Foley is gone!!👈 Ekeler coming home?
- Thread starter HBK4life
- Start date
I’m going to go with a year too late
Ron Brown is already a full time coach on the staff. FB coach and ST assistant.
Yes, in the meantime Matt Rhule allowed us to endure Foley’s lack of competence for 2 entire seasons. I get the celebration now but we still have the guy who hired him to begin with, right? Not saying Rhule should bat a thousand with his staff, but this one was a real head scratcher. Maybe his replacements will get it done, we’ll see. GBR
“We don’t run out of bounds at Nebraska”
This move is likely going to get us 2 more wins next year.
Holy shit. So everyone saying to chill and wait til the contract expired were right? And the ones losing their minds just needed to ****ing wait a couple days?
Foley was brought in by Rhule as during his stints at Temple and Baylor, Foley's STs were Top 25 and at Carolina 2020 STs finished 15th, 28th in 2021 and 4th in 2022. That's why he brought him here. With Foley's record of coaching STs in his career show's the problem here was more than the coaching as over half the problem were the players.
Unfortunately, performance dictated that changes needed to be made. But at least we are making them. OC, WR and now ST. If we could just stop taking backwards steps.
Was confident Rhule would make a move. For those who wanted a public flogging days before his contract expired I’m sure there will continue to be a “Rhule is soft”.
We have a coach with high integrity, treats others with respect and holds people accountable and makes tough decisions to win and better our program.
We have now clearly upgraded our WR Coach, our OC and our ST’s cannot get worse, so assuming we will be stronger. DC will remain to be seen but I’m optimistic there will not be a let off.
In addition the staff is aggressively attacking the portal to fill gaps.
All that to say … I like our coach and I’m fired up for 2025.

Clearly he wasn’t the solution to the problem. Need to stop idolizing some of these guys.
Dannen forced this move….: sarcastic obviously

Brown was not the assistant special teams coordinator. He coached fb and returners. Which is a little troubling on some punt and kick return decisions
Let’s be real, calling it embarrassing is giving it too much praise
Can you go away again
I wish Coach Foley the best in the future. Seems like a good dude, just wasn't meant to be at Nebraska. And we'll always have this soundbite from his past...
Yeah, I’ve seen all the stats, but when you get the same results in execution over and over and over again, I can’t put the blame all on the players….there is a reason Foley is gone.
He took entirely too long for this. There was no reason to not do it during one of the bye weeks or even the offseason. Some people knew immediately this was a bad hire, why did it take so long for Rhule to figure it out?I thought Rhule wouldn't make changes involving his buddies?
Glad to see you back on after embarrassing yourself on the Volleyball posts on no way in hell we lose to Penn State.
Bye week? JFC you people think we can fire coaches during bye week and Hire someone. We got extremely Lucky with Dana .
I think he is only 57 which is lower than the average age here and yes I am below the average.
Yes. ST was a DISASTER, it cost us multiple games. This is big boy football and it's cutthroat to the core. It's basically derelict of duty to not make a change.
by his looks i thought he was older than meI think he is only 57 which is lower than the average age here and yes I am below the average.
Glad Rhule didn't try and bring him back. Know that's a friend but like I said earlier in the year there was no way you could bring him back AND convince fans you are serious about being a winning program.
Holla
How was Foley during other stints with Ruhle? It's obvious he stunk up the place here but he couldn't have been as bad everywhere else as he was here right??
If so lord hammercy wtf was he doing in Lincoln to begin with?
Holla
How are ST ratings figured? It seems like this could be really subjective.
There is net punting, return yards, return yards allowed, field goals, etc. Do allowing block kicks count against you more than a missed FG? What exactly does it mean to say special teams finished 4th?
Total special teams they were ranked 4th at Carolina in 2022 4th in the NFL
