Matt Rhule’s Press Conference 10/24/24
- Thread starter BugsAreQualityProtein
- Start date
He sounded like me the night before my proctology examination…
Well he should be.
If you can't beat Indiana with a 5 star QB and a bunch of 4 star players you should be very nervous.
Well that sure doesn’t look like a real confident coach ….
Did Indiana take what ever pride the program had left?

I didn’t understand his comment about WR blocking:
He basically said our WR want to run block and that it’s not a want to problem.
This makes no sense to me - run blocking for a receiver is not overly complex, and if our WR are consistently not getting it done, how can that be attributed to anything other than want to?

maybe they want to but are otherwise incapable?
you know - physically or mentally
could also be that run blocking is against some religion they subscribe to that we are not aware of
their hands could be tied
plus, it's not really fair to assume someone else's feelings on a certain subject (WRs run blocking, in this case)
we just don't know what they're going through at the moment personally
maybe they are quaker members or maybe the shakers
maybe Banks or Neyor were traumatized by a stock block at an early age.
you just never know.
They can block guys in the back just fine.

Maybe it's because Satterfield calls so many pass plays, run blocking is the farthest thing from their mind.
Or they're just not taught properly.
Or both.
If that were the case you'd think they'd run better routes.
I posted this because last year when the going got tough (after our best player was injured), Rhule completely abandoned everything including his philosophical approach to the game
the result was a lot of inconsistency in everything from calling timeouts to when to settle for FGs and all of the stuff in between en route to an 0-4 finish
I hope this change in press conference garb is not signaling yet another one of these "searching" episodes
though it does worry me that he brought up the fact that there's no time for big philosophical discussions during game weeks - that's exactly something someone who's been wrestling with his own philosophical approach would say
exactly what I'm talking about
we hired this guy because of his apparent vision for the program
that vision, assuming it ever existed, appears to be blowing in the wind right along with his self confidence
Rhule looks like he's looking forward to Saturday about as much as I am. 😂
For the sake of all things Husker I hope we come out with a chip on our shoulder and give OSU our very best game.

I find it dumbfounding that he has no control over his OC. Most head coaches handcuff their OC into doing it their way.
He’s a Nice Guy.
One would think, but then again look who's coaching the receivers.
Two wrongs here don't make it right.
McGuire is the most inexplicable coaching hire by Rhule.
It would be nice for a change to get an opposing coach fired
A nepotism hire, plain and simple.
Agreed, technique is important, but blocking in the open field is about whipping the the man across from you. Are these guys a bunch of 6’4” pussies? Man up, show some fvcking pride. JFC…
What would a win over OSU do for your program? I know it sounds crazy....but you never know whats going on inside the heads of 21 or 22 year olds (other than on weekends).
It would be a great win, but I’m not sure it would change the long term outlook.
Steve Pederson took our pride away with his megalomaniac ideas.
It didn’t seem that way to me based on these 7 games. Too much inconsistency in amount played and performance. I doubt any one of the 4 I backs are pleased with performance.
That’s not true in my opinion, Pelini and the teams last 2 years in the Big 12 there was a lot of pride. Then Wisconsin pummeled us a couple times in Big Ten play for me it’s been gone since then.
It would feel much better than last Saturday's beat down, that's for sure.
Last Saturday's game was very disheartening. It's so deflating when every aspect of your team underperforms. All credit to the Hoosiers who I'm not sure we could have beat even if we had played well. It's gonna take more than an upset over OSU before I feel our program has a good trajectory.
Diddy is nothing compared to the guys he played for in college
Are you serious? A win on the road against OSU wouldn't change your perception of our program? Doing that would accomplish so many apparently unattainable goals for our program.
