Yeah, he wanted assurance from OSU and now Nebraska that he'll be the starter in 2024. Get lost kid - you need to earn it on the field first kid
McCord out?
- Thread starter Lincoln100
- Start date
The only thing this staff guarantees is that everyone has a chance to prove it in practice. McCord doesn't want competition.
Perhaps the buckeye fans were right? Dad is overbearing and Rhule was like "Yeah, no thanks"?
Hindsight is 20/20, and absolutely not defending Sims because we all saw what he brought to the table, but he certainly looked the part. His skill set seemed to be more “starter” than the other two at the beginning of the season. When he was healed, Rhule stayed with HH for a reason. He gave us a shot, whereas a healthy Jeff Sims showed that he did not.
I’m guessing Rhule rolled with JS because he was brought in to be the starter. When that imploded, he made the necessary changes. Hoping he doesn’t do the same…
I can't be the only one rolling his eyes regarding all the message board experts who opine on what they think might have happened.
McCord asked for pineapple on a pizza and was told to get
Love me some pineapple on a pizza baby!!!!
Exactly. It was the recruiting gurus and fans who blew this out of proportion.
A guy I know lost a 15 year old son who accidentally hung himself experimenting with that☹️
There are some who are pretty desperate for something - anything - positive that reinforces their blind support for our administration, staff and NIL
positive rumors around here are treated as canon while not so positive facts are brushed aside like daydreams
It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it’s the root of some severe perception disparities
There are some who are clutching to any rumor or happening to trash our administration and coaching staff…..
This is also true
One is viewed as more righteous than the other, but its two sides of the same coin
What if the Raiola’s wanted assurances that McCord wasn’t being brought on board?
If people want to claim DR is in it for himself then so is McCord, JFC the IQ on this board sometimes.
You don't turn down the chance to get DR. At least he has skin in the game with his dad's legacy and Uncle a coach.

Sure, that’s possible. Not sure why people start there, but it’s possible. In which case, I think the coaches still did the right thing prioritizing DR over McCord.
Yeah if you're thinking long-term you have to go with the kid who is a #1 QB recruit and could be a 3-4 year starter, over one that only has one year left.
Sure it's possible Raiola leaves after a year or two, but being a Husker legacy probably makes that less likely. And if he does, oh well, just write a check for the next one.

I would think that DR wouldn't mind having a one-year guy like McCord come in as long as he could compete for playing time. More than one star player has had their career negatively affected because of being thrown into the fire before they were ready.
I'm not saying turn him away, but you don't let a guy still in high school dictate things either.
Exactly what I said, but no, let's feel free to stomp all over the guy's character.
If you got inside information that is what the Raiola’s did, then present it here or STFU.
Who said he dictated anything except wanting to compete. You're the one taking shots at him without the information.
Still fighting but now it seems no one even remembers what they are fighting about.
IF his NIL deal is anywhere near what rumor is he won’t go anywhere unless he lost the starting job.
I just indicated what they did. I don’t care what anybody is rated, incoming freshmen shouldn't be able to dictate shit. Let alone running off a guy who produced an 11-1 record this year.
Whatever, it's not my decision. Rhule made his bed.. and now he must lie in it.
And most are grateful for the decision if it means DR is a husker. Time will tell whether the move was the right one.
I think it was I was against Kyle McCord before Riola announced a visit then I was for McCord against Riola because of Danny K then I was against all three of them because they dissed Nebraska on account of Rhule and then them Joes called me a naughty and now I have been forced to defend my honor and knowledge against them sum beaches.
Raiola didn’t run anybody off. There’s been all kinds of speculation about why McCord decided to go elsewhere but if he was afraid of competing with a true freshman he needs to go somewhere else. One of the concerns I had about bringing in a one and done was what his expectations were and how that meshed with the team. The fact that he bailed on OSU due to some fan criticism doesn’t speak well of him. Good luck to him finding everything he expects.

The mental gymnastics to trash people they don't agree with over an opinion must be exhausting.Still fighting but now it seems no one even remembers what they are fighting about.
Definately for the best. Otherwise . Rhule will be dealing with Dad all the time.
Everyone keeps thinking McCord was afraid of DR is funny. I believe his visit was more for NIL than seeing campus. I think word probably got out how much we offered DR and McCord up’d his price. We couldn’t afford it so we walked. Rather throw more at an RB than a 2nd QB. McCord will never be as good as DR. Don’t get me wrong, would have loved to have him but DR could be our Julio Jones.
