Nepotism Plagues the Program

[huskerdude88]

Nepotism has plagued the program since Osborne left...

Solich: Hired essentially because he was Osborne's OC
Callahan: Brought over Jay Norvell and Kevin Cosgrove
Pelini: Hired his brother Carl Pelini
Riley: Brought over several coaches from Oregon State including Danny Langsdorf and DC Mark Banker
Frost: Basically the whole staff from UCF
Rhule: Kept Domnic Raiola. Brought in Ed Foley. Satterfield was his former OC at Temple.

We will never get better at Nebraska unless we get rid of the nepotism. We have to hire a HC who will hire the best assistant coaches in the country regardless of if they've "worked with them."

Here's to another long season...#GBR

Ruhle also needs to drop the ethics about keeping existing bad players. College football is now openly professional and he needs to treat it that way. Play well or go away.

I totally agree with you. We need to be ruthless at cutting the fat. The nepotism doesn't just start with the coaching staff it permeates throughout the locker room. We need to get the best coaches and the best players in the country period. If we have to pay 30 million for it like OSU did then do it. I'm sick and tired of getting worked by inferior programs year after year because we must do it the "Nebraska Way" or the "right way" or insert some other platitude to make us feel better about ourselves.

No question. You can't compete with the best if you are overly concerned with not hurting feelings. We also need to stop buying in the myths about players and coaches. Nobody walks on water and nobody is just better because they wear an N. The best players and best coaching wins 98% of the time.
NU needs to figure out how to take the next step and just do it. Pony up the money for NIL. Push out players that wouldn't start for a top 25 team.

Rhule bitching to the refs when getting rolled is hilarious.

Nepotism is killing us. Mcguire and his WRs are not good. Satterfield doesn't help and Donnys boys look confused on simple stunts.

If we are compiling examples

Rhule hired Dylan Raiola’s sister to the football staff.

Totally agree. I know Nebraskans have always hoped and prayed that Warren would pump money into the program. Honestly though why would he? He is a shrewd investor and shrewd investors put their money in winners. We are not winners. The culture is not winning. It places nepotism before winning.

Saban never worked with Lane Kiffin prior to hiring him. Dan Lanning never worked with his OC Will Stein prior to hiring him. Jim Harbaugh hired Jesse Minter never having worked with him. Dabo had never worked with Brent Venables prior to hiring him.

You are Nebraska. This is the era of NIL. This is the only program in the state that has this much financial backing. You hire the best and pay for the best. No excuses.

Receivers are awful. Poorly coached and no talent.

 

[Bugeater]

Can an AD actually be an asset when it comes to finding good assistant coaching talent? I know they have a lot on their plate, but get a search party going to find out who's interested and has the cred to back up the hiring of solid coaches.

Nepotism on steroids. Hire the inexperienced son of a buddy to coach receivers. Hopefully daddy will take him next year because Rhule doesn’t fire pals. Another Callahan.

Most new coaches bring some people to their staffs they are familiar with, it happens all the time when a new staff is getting put together. Matt Rhule has some tough decisions coming at the end of the season, and if the AD has to suggest anything, it will be getting his staff in better shape, and if that means hiring outside your known group, so be it.
