Matt Rhule Is a Coward and a Fraud

Yup. If his golden boy QB done his job we would be at 7 wins and he would be slobbering over the coaching staff. But, be just can't admit he hitched his wagon to the wrong horse.
Rhule & Satt were the horses I hitched my wagon to midyear when we were winning and developing an identity.
wrong horses, indeed.
I know right!! It's a damn shame the coaches didn't tell him not to fumble and throw some of the worst interceptions in NU history. What were they thinking? Lol
looking forward to seeing how next week's loss will also be Haarberg's fault.
I think this is about what I expected for years one. Ups and downs. I thought the ceiling was 8 wins and floor was 5.
The Haaerberg train is over. Get over it.
whatever makes you feel good about yet another L in which we couldn't score to save our life when we needed it most.
biggest moral victory of the season.
can't wait 'til next year!
No I wouldn't. I would probably complain about the turnover itself, but that's a different story. It was a moronic decision to leave just 20 seconds on the clock in that situation.
I'll be right here. I'm looking forward to the next meltdown and screen name from you. May I suggest HHisaTE?
very funny!
glad you're in high spirits after last night's moral victory (our best all season).
I'm excited for the future. But if you wanna cry day and night like a schoolgirl sissy about your anointed savior not being good enough to be a QB? Carry on.
happy for you, HBK!
huge moral W last night. one more on Friday and we'll be riding high into the offseason!
the excitement will be palpable! can't wait to see who Rhule and Satt - two guys with exemplary track records with regards to talent evaluation - bring in!
So, if NU and Chubba beat Iowa to go bowling for the first time in 7 years you'll be less of a bitch all off-season?
yep.
that would be something to actually be pleased about.
not a fantasy, not a "what if", not an "if only", not a moral victory.
Really? I didn’t think you counted losses where HH started.
The idea is to improve substantially. Which is why it is silly to be so focused on the first or second game of the first year with a new staff, like nothing will change.
This is the dumbest argument. how about we go for it and score a TD scenario and no complaints. Then we are talking about which bowl we are going to
The goal is to improve. You don’t hire a coach and just immediate be what you are going to be.
But know that you honestly do not understand this concept.
How about the guy is right. If we go for the TD and fail, you're bitching about not kicking the FG, like at the end of last week.
Dude, we were trying to score a TD with no time left and we didn't get it done. Same thing at the end of the first half, but we shanked the FG.
As far as going for it on 4th down ahead 14-0, it was a long one and the chance of making the FG was less than the chance of making it on 4th down. If we'd been 10 yards closer, it would have been a no brainer to kick the FG. Another option would have been to try to punt them inside their 10 and play defense.
Yes, in many areas we have improved. Maybe we could have squeezed more out of this depleted team. But I tend to think how the young players develop and how we recruit is probably going to be more telling.
Now I will ask you, even though I think I already know the answer. Do you actually believe that new coaches can improve their team year after year, or do you think you know exactly how successful they will be after a game or two?

You can’t excuse how he handled the end of that game though. There was no reason not to take a chance and try to get into the end zone at all costs. We should have been playing as if we were down by 4 because we kind of were. I think everyone on this board deep down inside knew that we were likely to lose in OT. Best chance to win was in regulation and he got scared. And now he looks like a fool, because in this situation, he was.
while I agree with you 100%, it is odd given we'd just watched the best quarterback play we've seen all season
what an enigma!
there was a lot of research posted on this very board in 2019 and again in 2021
if it's not happening after year 3, it's not happening at a championship level
back when we hired Rhule I posted that his closest comp was Lou Holtz in terms of resume.
he won his natty 3 stops and 10 years after returning from the NFL.

Agree with the mind, boggling, playcalling and clock management at the end. At that point we didn’t necessarily need to just be chucking it into the end zone risking interceptions, but try to run a couple plays at least because we were getting some chunk plays with the runs in that last drive, you’ve got the field goal in your back pocket at least try to score a touchdown
The point is, the media and hometown crowd wanted to give Frost four years before they said anything. Certainly, Riley got the benefit of the doubt for nearly his whole time. Callahan, like Rhule coming from the pros got a total pass his first two years because we liked his recruiting classes. Just saying, we all like Rhules demeanor and we like the way he came in. Frost gave us ZERO player development, and he lost one third of all the players he brought in. Frost made Wandale Robinson the face of the team, and when Wandale left no one criticized Frost for chasing him out. Frost didn’t have the balls to say it was his fault, only that he wanted to be closer to home. We even get beat by another BIG team when they used one of Frosts transfers. I’m not taking up for him, but preseason everyone agreed it was going to take time! It will be okay just give it time.
1 turnover, in overtime….A QB that can hit the guy in the same color Uni. Gee, what else….
Our coaching has declined though.. I don’t think we’d beat NW or IL if we played them tomorrow
Winning the offseason is fine, but hollow. Can't speak for OP, but my opinion will change if I see W's.
