No I know he is not. He will be here a few more years. Does he deserve it? No... very reasonable

Didn't Cignetti go 11-1 last year? Unless I missed something. Still, he and his staff WAY better than Rhule and his guys.
He deserved to be fired 7 games into season 2? Lofl. Sure bud.
It’s clear as day to me that Rhule is not gonna get it done here.
No lil Jon. At the end of the year? If this season ends like last year. Yes. Will it happen? No. I will actually back off the Rhule hate if he actually makes changes after this year. Starting with Satt then uncle Donny and the child Wr coach. And the worthless special teams coach. But I will be shocked if he does because he will be contactoraly protected.
He's 1.5 years in with a senior laden team. His contract ensures he'll be here for a while but he's going to have to shake things up to have a chance of improvement.
People need to stop thinking that money matters. If the boosters want Rhule gone, they will pony up.
I don't think they will but I do think it is clear that it is totally possible to not take 3 years to "build" a team.

It is really surprising. I really thought we were going to give their offense trouble. Maybe we will beat somebody we’re not supposed to be this year. We certainly weren’t supposed to lose this one this bad.
DR has looked like a true freshman the last couple of weeks. I think he’s better than he is showing. Hard for the average fan to know what the problem is. Only thing I can say is that he doesn’t try and get the first down with his feet if he doesn’t see anything open.

I agree...
I was never sold on him as a hire and I think Trev sort of fell for this idea of "building"...
NU has more NIL money they most schools, especially in the Big Ten and they need to hire a no none sense cutthroat coach.
IU’s season isn’t over. Out putridity doesn’t make them a great team. They may end up being that but they’ve got some tough games yet.
I said early on that I wouldn’t have complained about a no name up and comer from Northeastern Directional U that nobody has ever heard of. Cignetti is kind of that guy. Our fan base and donors demand splash hires hence we ended up with a guy like Callahan and now Rhule. We’ll see if Rhule can make the adjustments he needs to succeed.
jeez
a lot of people here are forgetting Rhule is a country music fan who has said the word "fullback" in press conferences at least a half dozen times
his wife owns a small business in NE! he is One Of Us!
pretty rude, he seems like he's giving it his best - even said he fell asleep in his office this week! (ignore the fact that this happened right after he arrived)

It’s too early. Everyone has their heads up their ass in anger right now. Not much level headed thinking and commenting going on right now.
Right??? He was clearly given the talking points when he started.
I am trying to think who I would want as the next HC and no names are coming to mind. But I do know that if this season plays out super lame...I am going to be the thrilled if they start searching.
Keep loving the continued failures. You should probably find an offense identity Satt
This is a "show me" business and every week matters.
Troy better have a list. Just like the Bama AD sure as hell has a list. Because they are about 2 plays away from falling apart.
NU needs to beat UCLA, Wisconsin and Iowa. Period. These are not tall tasks.
Fire the coaches. That keeps working out well for us. Let’s keep doing the same dumb shit and expecting different results.
also - before anyone says it:
Rhule getting laughed out of the NFL (literally) is not at all a reflection on his ability to coach COLLEGE football
so if anyone is thinking this, don't bother posting it!
Then slide him over as the QB coach and go hire a real offensive line coach. It's not like the Raiola's aren't spending on the best QB coach money can buy. Donovan can just be the lame duck on staff.
This assessment is spot on. Trust me, I am not advocating to find another head coach…but we just got outcoached in a major way. If nothing else,
I was hopeful we would come out during the second half and fight - but we didn’t. In a world where recruits see everything, they just watched us get embarrassed. That goes down as one of most humiliating losses I have personally watched. This was not a talent gap issue, this was a coaching issue.
Rhule will get way more time than deserved because of the buyout. He will get one shot this off season to make changes. We will see how he handles it. Every offensive coach needs to go. But he failed hiring these coaches. He will fail hiring replacements. He is nothing more than a greasy salesman.
I would’ve agreed with you before yesterday, since yesterday’s terrible performance by both the coaches and players the honeymoon is over he’ll get one more year, upon sleeping on yesterday’s performance that was the most embarrassing performance since probably during Riley’s last season or Georgia southern, and I really getting tired of hearing we had a good week of practice I didn’t see this coming! that was frost’s excuse for 4 plus years. I’m 50/50 on weather I’m going to watch the game against OSU
I know people bring up Brett...but he is going to Iowa and it would not shock me if that is already pretty close to a done deal.
KF is done, their DC that some of you love even though he blows too, is retiring when KF is forced out. I bet BB has that gig lined up.

You got me! Ha
It just seems like that will make sense...with that said Illinois might be a better job than Iowa.
