Matt Rhule Presser 11/14/24

[cruelhalo]

cruelhalo, to be honest I haven't watched any of his Press conferences for probably a month.

I've seen his confidence drain more and more as the season goes on, I think much of it is that people are now questioning his actual ability to turn this thing around. It's one of those deals where some people no longer buying what he's trying to sell.

I'll watch that now that you've mentioned it.

I DO like Matt, I like him a lot as a guy, he's trying like hell to make it work here, but I think he had no idea the actual meat grinder he was getting into here when things don't go as he planned.

For a guy making a ton of coin, he doesn't look like he's enjoying what he's doing right now, normally you can't get him away from that mic.

His true colors are showing. This is the Big 10 and it's cut-throat. Not many people realize that 75% of his wins throughout his head coaching career were against teams with a losing record.

I don't have a good feeling about Rhule.

Rhule has a tough job if he wants to get back to dr. tom championship football, I'm thinking more solich championship football..
he's having to fix a long line of non championship football..callahan, bo, riley, frost..

I think he's doing ok except simms and the oc..
he has a defense unlike callahan,
he not a head case like bo,
he's not a retirement case like riley,
and he's of sober mind...

I like his organizational skills and his efforts in recruiting.
the key here is holgerson and special teams
if the offense and special teams can help the defense during game day, on the gridiron..
I can see solich championship football at the end of the tunnel
I think dr. tom championship football is a thing of the past, with the nil, the transfers and the all around feminization of college football.
when busing with the boys asked the don if he can make Nebraska football great again...he automatically pointed to the quite professionalism of dr. tom without hesitation...

I'm not putting all that on rules shoulders...but solich championship football can be had if:
HC rhule, OC holgerson, DC white all move in one accord...and the addition of special teams...
the players play with pride, and smash thru the fear, uncertainty and dought, and grasp victory from the jaws of defeat.
and the fan base grow a bit of a pair, and not go into chernoble melt down, during a rough patch...

 

[Pennsyhusker]

He also needs to hit the portal hard and get a few proven playmakers. .

Exactly. This year is toast. Unless DH works a miracle we just don’t have enough offense to avoid 5-7. Despite what Rhule said the DH hire is about next year and taking enough pressure off of Rhule to get to next year with a certain amount of confidence. Therefore, what we really need now is for DH to take his reputation out there and haul in a wicked good transfer class for the offense.

WTF... the Nebraska media covering the Rhule press conferences are so weak. They're all on their knees bowing down to Rhule. Need a Peter Doocy type asking questions. See if they can get Rhule to lose his shit and throw something and then storm off.

In a market so heavily dominated by NU sports, you will never find media willing to risk being frozen out by NU coaches. So a few of them may grumble on podcasts and YouTube videos but almost all of their questions directed to coaches are soft as Charmin.

Frozen by walking dead coaches? Tough questions by the media won't rank too high on their list after the get embarrassed by a 2-5 team. At $8M a year, that mother fukjer doesn't get the luxury of an easy button.

I think every win by Foster, Sanders and Cignetti have shined the light more and more on Matt.

I can't imagine how Matt would begin to answer a press question like this,

"Looking at CU, IND, and UCLA, three completely different programs, three different personality types as their HC, all improving from week after week.
Everything they have, we have more and we have better.
Why are we having so much trouble getting this thing turned around?"

Now that would be a tough question to answer on the podium right now.

Cignetti is an issue for any first or second year coach not showing real significant improvement.

Not just Rhule having issues with this.

 

[scarletred]

"great week of practice" feels very Frost-like.

"Riley is the best in the business" feels like he's already resigned to losing.

You can’t deny that he isn’t one of the best offensive minds in college football..

Thanks Matt.
