First off, Dylan Raiola picking Nebraska is damn near miracle work by Rhule. For how poorly the former “savior” fumbled the rapport with the Raiolas, Rhule completely saved face in ONE year. We can chalk up some of this to 1890 too, but at the end of the day this W goes to Matt Rhule, the culture he is building.
Second and most importantly, to all of those with whatever level of pull you have at NU - be it boosters, boosters affiliates, football alumni, administrators, etc… can we please not make the same mistakes as we did 3-4ish years ago when our former head coach began his descent to his dismissal? I think we are all well aware of what can happen to a “program savior” if they come to Lincoln and get involved with the wrong crowd.
This time around, can we simply just leave Dylan to Matt Rhule, the team, his Uncle and his family? He’ll have no shortage of all kinds of non-football, extra-curricular opportunities, so how about this time around we let a person of this caliber work hard, and not cut corners?
