I think the last 6 hires have led me to be a bit less optimistic than others.
He was our 3rd choice which is better than I thought we’d do.
For me Meyer was a grand slam.
Rhule, Fickell, and Sanders were home runs.
I think we did well.
Think Rhule has the highest floor of any of the candidates available this offseason (sans Urban of course). He's never stayed around long enough to have a good idea of what his ceiling is so that's a large part of why I chose lower than everyone that has voted up to now.
I was hoping Nebraska would poach an SEC guy this go around or someone with extensive SEC ties like Joseph. I know right now Nebraska isn't competing for a title of any kind but with USC & UCLA joining the conference, the road to a conference title isn't getting any easier. Taking someone who has recruited and coached in the best conference in the country would've given me more optimism.
Regardless, I don't care who the coach is as long as Nebraska becomes competitive and relevant again in November games. It sucks having your season be over before September has even started.

Hated the idea of the hire at first, but I’ve decided to put my trust in Trev.
it may take some time. We should prepare ourselves for a 5-6 win season next year. There are going to be times where we think it was a bad hire
But we’re used to this, and I believe that by year 2 or 3, we’re going to be a confident team that nobody wants to play.

I gave it a 9 because he was one the of the best options available of guys that would have actually come here.
How he does, I have no clue. I have also updated my sig line to reflect this.
I think we will do ok though

A lot depends on the assistant coaches brought in. No drinking buddy hires this time around, please.
I felt like Meyer was the only 10 - but never felt like he was a serious candidate. I would have given Fickell, Kiffin, and maybe Klieman a 9. Rhule is a strong 8 for me. I’d put him at a 9 if he had left a job for NU, rather than being unemployed.
Aranda would have been a 7 for me, Leipold and Campbell a 6. Any of the other names were 5 or below.

Not relevant. I too eyeroll the peers I compete, and have competed, with. In fact I hate 98% of them.
That’s the NFL’s viewpoint, which, given his record there shouldn’t be surprising. Nor should it be an indictment of the hire.
Ask college peers what they think.
Wasn't Riley and Frost heralded as great hires by his peers?
Grain of salt
I'm honestly sick of legacy guys.
So this NFL coach thinks Ruhle is a bad college coach / bad coach in general?
Who cares if he's a bad NFL coach?
There is no difference.....you know this, maaan!
No crazy Margot. Hot Margot!!
Frost was the only hire. Riley is a widely respected and liked guy. I don’t think Riley had a chance with Eichorst having hired him. IF Tom had embraced him and IF Eichorst hadn’t made him hire Diaco, Riley might very well have gotten us to being a consistent mid level bowl team.
Oh good, another former player weighing in. Shanle’s class started this shit spiral. The only thing i care less about than his opinion is the opinion of the alleged NFL coach he quotes anonymously. Don’t you have insurance or playground equipment to sell, Scott? The fact that guys like this sat silent while Scott ran the program into the ground is all you need to hear from the likes of Scott Shanle.
Another Butthurt Mickey buddy. Not sure who he thought Trev’s “first choice” was. I remember all too well some of Shanle’s screw ups at NU.
it's pretty underwhelming
0-11 vs ranked opponents
couldn't win 30% of his games in the pros (saban went .500 so spare me the comparisons)
guess we have the next 8 years to find out
