Only coach Rhule has beaten who has been to a playoff.
Had we won last week, it would be Riley.
Matt Rhule saved Nebraska football
- Thread starter moralvictories
- Start date
Had we won last week, it would be Riley.
So did Frost, taggert, herman, norvell, etc. AAC coaches have a bad record moving to P4/5
Matt Rhule is an idiot who will be fired in 2 years. Everyone is blinded by his 6-5 record against shit opponents. With the massive win against 5-6 wisconsin he has redeemed himself. C'mon now. I will enjoy this I guess.
It'll be an interesting off season in seeing if Rhule makes further staff changes. It would certainly seem Rhule needs to take a hard look at the last two years regarding player development & utilization.
he's not an idiot, but his skillset is really his speaking ability.. I am not sure he actually knows that much about football. He's a people person in a lot of ways, and that is a very good thing from the perspective of recruiting and running an organization.
It seems he is too nice at times, and needs someone like Troy to keep him results oriented. I am convinced, if we didn't have someone pressing him, nothing would have changed and the results would have been much different.
So, as long as the Administration at UNL understand his strengths and weaknesses, he can be a productive member of the organization, but there has to be a leader who is really driving things above him, and the same from the coaches below him.
Dana made a lot of this possible too. He get's the most credit, followed by Troy and Matt. All 3 get some credit..

We will see in 2 years.
But what we saw yesterday is a team that became bowl eligible for the first time since 2016 and beat a team that has had our number since 2011. This team has been so mentally fragile many (including myself) didn’t think it was possible. It may be a baby step, but it was HUGE for the program.
I can’t say this enough because a loss yesterday would have devastated this team and this staff. The pressure to become Bowl Eligible against Iowa would have been too much. Now that the monkey is off their back, they can go play loose against Iowa and possibly be 7-5 at the end of the regular season!

I've agreed with a lot of your takes over the last couple years, but now you just sound like a broken record. This was probably the most complete game against an in-conference opponent since the 2015 Michigan St game. This is what I've been waiting to see for a long time. I'm going to enjoy it. Colorado was a nice win earlier this year, but we didn't do anything in the second half to carry momentum forward. In this game, we never let off the gas. That is exactly what Nebraska football should look like.
Rhule saved the program? That’s an interesting conclusion for a 6-5 team. I think it’s more accurate to say Rhule may have saved himself by hiring DH.
But now we’ll see how he hits the portal to upgrade and replace tons of seniors. And perhaps even more important: Will he keep DH as OC and upgrade this coaching staff elsewhere? Wide receiver coaching for sure. Raiola’s very good day would have been exceptional with better receivers who can get open and avoid drops.
Let’s table this topic for at least one year and revisit it.

If Dana isn't here next year ......... Rhule didn't save shit.
Guys like him are typical garbage scum arse fans the are an abonination and black eye to any fanbase.
What I think is hilarious, we won and now the garbage scum that all posted classless trash, especially last week are now singing praises thinking we didn't see what they did and trying to blend in as I didn't do anything or no big deal what we said as we won! Go root for another team if they'll even have ya!
They are classless trolls that have lost credibility and no one should be listening to their bully lyin ass narratives or their lyin' BS posts. because that's all they are as well as gutless cowards that disappear into the woodwork.

Yep and I agree with you. Especially Gary Patterson and Les Miles.
Rhule may have saved himself but maybe this is the turning point we can all look back on.
I think we can all agree that we don’t want to be a fan of Wisconsin right now. They are trending down. We are trending up. Say we win next week and win the Bowl game and up 8-5. That momentum can help with portal transfers and recruiting. Lot of opportunity ahead!
No. I agree. I am happy for the kids and you could see the difference that Dana makes. We finally get to a bowl, but it doesnt hide the fact that we are more than likely going to have an 8th cosecutive losing season ( 6-7 ). That is the real monkey on their back that needs to be removed for Matt's sake.
