I predict he will achieve Bo Pelini levels of success with 9-10 wins per season and will be more competitive in big games than Bo was.

If rhule gets us back to a top 15 program with multiple 9-10 win seasons. When Nebraska is relevant, are we really a 2nd fiddle Pedo State? But I spose if he doesn’t win a natty for us 9-10 wins won’t be good enough and he will be tar and feathered then the shit cycle shall most likely repeat itself.we will be winning 50% of our games first year...(just from competent coaching alone)
75% the second
90% third
then rhule will go to penn state and we will hire aranda
I can tell listening to rhule if penn state calls he will go...it more bout his history with penn stateIf rhule gets us back to a top 15 program with multiple 9-10 win seasons.

I don't agree. During his introduction he talked about how important it was to "find a good fit for my family" and Lincoln was it. He said he wanted to stay put in Lincoln for a long time. He mentioned on the Bussin Boys podcast his daughter was upset they had to move again to come to NU. During his talk on ESPN after he got the job, his introduction PC, the signing day PC (I think), and the Bussin Boys podcast he mentioned how he has learned an organization cannot function unless everyone pulls in the same direction and he found that at Nebraska. I think the Christian culture in Nebraska in general and the Athletic Department specifically appeals to him.I can tell listening to rhule if penn state calls he will go...it more bout his history with penn state
We’re nowhere close to playoff teams in terms of just Talent. See what happens next couple years, but we’re gonna need to be consistently in the top 10. Top 30 ain’t gonna cut it, by a longshot, in the Big 10. Maybe the Big 12 or ACC…Should we qualify for the playoff - top 12 teams - likely top 3-4 in the conference at least once in the first 5 years?
CF playoff is going to be the bench mark at some point going forward - after a buildup - should expect twice out (or least once) every 5 year block - 3-5 times per decade and be in the conversation most other years

well I hope he's successful and stays...I'm just saying when he's saying be a lion, posts picture of dr. tom and paterno,I don't agree.

Of course it could all be smoke and the second Franklin leaves we could be left at the altar, but I don't get that idea from listening to him speak.
Pelini level without getting boat raced every year by Wisconsin. In fact, I believe we beat Wisconsin over 50% of the time.Yep pelini level at the minimum
Depends on whether or not Franklin stays at Penn State.He will get us back to championship levels in the third year and then will take the Penn State head coaching job…
Well I guess if they want him it will because he’s turned us around so I will take itI can tell listening to rhule if penn state calls he will go...it more bout his history with penn state
for reference - after a 3 year build - Kirk Ferentz would have had Iowa in a 12 team playoff 4 times in the next 10 yearsWe’re nowhere close to playoff teams in terms of just Talent.

I agree mostly, but if it’s true that Rhule is a known developer of talent, I don’t believe we need top 10 classes all the time. I wouldn’t want to go lower than 20, but even if we are in the 10-20 range, he can get us there more often than not would be my hope.We’re nowhere close to playoff teams in terms of just Talent.

The playoffs will be expanding shortly, so with that in mind, a playoff berth within a decade seems like a pretty reasonable goal.We’re nowhere close to playoff teams in terms of just Talent.

In Bo Pelini's 2nd year at Nebraska, we were literally one added second on the clock from beating Texass. With the expanded playoffs, that team likely would have got in as a wildcard. It's not as far fetched as you might think, qualifying for the playoffs in year 3.Alright! Most of these posts sound just like the posts’ after SF was hired. NU is going to be in the CFP within 3 years!
Glad to see we are at least winning the off-season again.
Hope all these predictions are right…but they aren’t. MR is a great get for the Huskers but not a miracle worker. Do you people not realize just how bad things are? We may get there, but it’s going to take time and pain.
I agree and hope we do, but would amend that to Let’s start by getting to a Freaking Bowl Game this year.Let’s start by getting to the B1G Championship game in the next few years..
Eventually the Penn state faithful have to get sick of losing to the buckeyes every year.Depends on whether or not Franklin stays at Penn State.
Yeah if rhule goes 7-5 next year it would be a very welcome change. Obviously expectations long term are much higher, but we need to have a freaking winning season againI agree and hope we do, but would amend that to Let’s start by getting to a Freaking Bowl Game this year.
If this board makes you hurl so much, why are you here?Apparently according to all of the creaming on this board because he travels and does what a person making 9 million in salary is supposed to do, 12-0. first year.
Being positive worked out well for you the last 20 years huh? Everything is great! Just like in real life. When this program shows positive results, so will I. Until then, talk is cheap. My somewhat positive outlook ended 3 or 4 years ago. Now I am just pissed and want a real program to emerge after what has been an utter joke of a program the last 6 or 7 years. Matt has a clean slate. Show me.If this board makes you hurl so much, why are you here?
Apparently, some positivity makes you so uncomfortable you’ve got to periodically sprinkle your negative bull crap from time to time.
I agree, the sense about Frost was off the charts. That said, what’s different is that Rhule in his first few months has done more already than Frost ever did in a 2 month time span.He's probably not winning 9 games next year, so I doubt he will achieve Pelini's level of success on the field.. his first 90 days on the job have been decent, but I'm not ready to anoint him as even a successful coach here.
Remember when everyone thought the Fraud was a no miss hire and all the chest thumping that went on before he even played a game..
I just cringe as I watch some fans go through the same routine again.
How can you tell by listening that he would leave here by the drop of a hat..I can tell listening to rhule if penn state calls he will go...it more bout his history with penn state
That's putting "the cart before the horse". First, he has to be wildly successful. Otherwise Penn State wouldn't even give him a whiff. We should be so lucky that Penn State is interested because that means we returned to glory.I can tell listening to rhule if penn state calls he will go...it more bout his history with penn state
