Hausmann in portal
- Thread starter KingBlackshirt
- Start date
I bet he was recruited HARD with NIL. I’m sure this is very shady behind the scenes but impossible to prove
This happens a lot when new coaches are hired, expect more to follow.
There might be not be anyone left from this year's team when all is said and done.
This one really hurts.. Damn..
Bad optics. He was a bright spot on D and provided some hope for the future. I hope this is not a trend.
Would think that Ruud is not being retained on the defensive side..
of the schools that named interim coaches
(ASU-Auburn-Wisconsin-NU)
We by far made the worst choice
An interim coach is tasked with putting the program in the best possible position heading into the next season - not assembling a powder keg whose fuse will be lit if they aren’t named head coach
The program would be so much better off had Robert Joseph never set foot in the state after his playing days

Hurts but not a surprise if they're cleaning house of all the coaches. Usually why new coaches most often keep a coach or 2.
However we are so broken maybe it takes a complete flush and rebuild.
Maybe our kids are knee jerking because they can. Maybe they don't want to work hard.
I understand being hurt by losing their coaches but just because you portal doesn't mean you can't stay

Man let it go and give it a break..
Correct could just be shopping. Can’t blame anyone for doing so
Hence prepare yourselves for 1-3 wins first year. Rhule cleans house every stop he goes but gets it turned around in a couple years as his guys mature.
I get what you’re saying but I’ll bet you we get more than 1 win next year.
Rhule was 2-10 his first year at Temple, and 1-11 his first year at Baylor.
Based on history, next year is going to be very rough. But by Year 3 we will be good, if history repeats itself.
Kid is from an hour from Lincoln though. Maybe doesn’t like new coaching staff or was told he isn’t good enough? Happened a lot when Frost came in.
9.25 million for 2 wins….$5 mil for 3 wins looks like a heck of a deal in hindsight
This one hurts if he ends up leaving. but... ya gotta truly wanna be here and play here to be great.
That sucks, was enjoying watching him improve each game.
Fortunately, the portal takes care of the learning curve and maturity issues. That will be to his benefit - potentially.
Well, if Scott Frost left us anything, it’s getting used to 3 wins, so it certainly won’t be a giant shock to our systems….
I see where Brant Banks has entered the portal also.
Rhule has a very difficult rebuild which will become a really difficult rebuild if we lose a few more of our top players. (Not that Banks is a top player).
Coleman, Hausmann, and maybe Ajay Allen are 3 that I wish NU could keep.
Looks like the vultures that deal in the portal are busy. Can't say I blame them because this college football game is becoming a different animal than we all grew up in.
Probably by the end of this period time slot, we will have more surprises. At least then, the staff and even us fans can take a deep breath and see what he Rhule has to work with.
An unraveling looks like it may have begun. Oh well. It's been a wonderful 2 days.
**Edit** DeColdest is in the portal too.

I hate to see these guys leave. Feels personal as a fan. It’s brutal. You feel invested, then with the portal, guys just up and leave! Rough being a fan these days. Hard to get too attached to any player anymore.
There could be many that are simply evaluating their options as they get to know the new coaching staff. I wouldnt be suprised if many of them end up staying.
Especially a home state kid..
Big talk at the press conference Monday…people said Rhule has history of blowing everything up he has wasted no time on doing so.
I imagine anytime the portal is open it will be poaching from all types of schools. It's probably something we will all have to get used to. The pressure to win is damaging a sport and may destroy some teams chances to ever really get better.
Is anyone really surprised by this? don't be surprised when more players leave. Sometimes you have to tear down a structure that wasn't built correctly in order to have a sound structure. If these players don't want to be here so be it I won't fret one bit.
I'm excited about the many players who will be coming to Nebraska because they see opportunities and like what they see with a new staff. Lets face it we've seen Nebraska sink as low as it can and losing some players who don't want to be at Nebraska isn't going to kill this program, no one person is bigger than the Nebraska program going forward.

There are pros and cons to all of this. Retaining veteran talent could go along way for next year, but recruiting a bigger class this cycle could pay dividends 2 or 3 years down the road.
Also, with the transfer portal it’s laughable to think the team will go 1-11 like his first years at Temple and Baylor. Not to mention completely different situations too.

The big concern here with Hausman is that he is a homegrown Nebraska kid…did well as true freshman. All the talk about needing the best Nebraska kids…it’s all talk. Hausman is just one kid yes but part of a bigger picture here. I’m just so sick of all the platitudes that have come out of Lincoln for years now.
I don't blame any player to want to transfer. Frost recruited, Frost mentally checks out, Frost Fired, MJ coach, New coach, MJ gets himself thrown in jail.
Hausman was a backup before Henrich’s injury. DeColdest may not be 100% by fall. Banks was not very good. I’m not ready to jump just yet.

The thing about the portal is there will always be players available. Not necessarily the players you want, but they will be available. At the minimum, if we're going to have to rely on the portal it would be smart to take younger kids with 3-4 years of eligibility to see if they can be developed into good players.
It's like going to the store to buy fruit after it's all been picked over.
CT supposedly is getting 500 K in NIL money. You can’t help but think some of these kids are going to look around to see what they can get.
It's not like NU has been going 9-3 and 10-2 for the last 5 years. The bar for winning has been so low, another tough year that can lead to something promising in the future is what Rhule has been all about.
So, we can just see who leaves and who really wants to stay. Imagine that? A team that has players that want to be where they already are.
We haven’t won more than 5 games for the last 5 years. Perhaps this thing needs to be blown up.
