Portal. 1st in Big 10. 5th Nationally

You sure about that? Where had those other two well qualified coaches run position rooms before coming to NU?

I'm talking specifically about Troy Dannen pressuring Rhule to make a mid-season change. Who's your source on that?
you have to be utterly stupid to not see that is what happened.. the AD is not going to just sit there and say nothing while all of husker nation was freaking out..

I shouldn't be amazed, but I am at the stupidity of the people on this board..

the same clowns that said "No way is Eichorst trying to run the program from the stands", yet it was plain as day for most people with a brain.. there have been countless things like this over the years and it's funny, because at the time, there are a chorus of you trying to defend the program, but then when it's all past and out in the open, you only then jump on that bandwagon.. it's as if you don't have any mind of your own, and all you can do is go a long with the herd..

From the biggest clown in this board. Has nothing to back up any opinions and calls everyone else stupid. Another clown post

If one of the new transfers does not pan out during spring ball…who is to say that they won’t be transitioned out. Each spot on the 105 is extremely important.

Players want freedom to move around and shop their talents then they better be ready to impress this spring including the players already on the roster.

I think with the change to 105 we will actually see the spring portal FAR more active than in years past. Guys who are 4th string or lower should leave if they want to play football or else face being cut in the Fall.
That’s actually a great thing, players need to bust their ass in the spring now to contend for a roster spot.

Gronowski is also considering declaring for the draft.

"“I’m trying to weigh all my options to do what’s best for me and my career,' Gronowski said, via ESPN. 'I’m confident in what I can do in the NFL. If there are opportunities that help my family, I’ll change my mind. It’s doing what’s best for me and my long-term interest overall.'”

I wanna read more about the drama from like 20+ years ago. Which for some reason is what the transfer portal thread is about.

It's just too bad Solich was ever hired.. sad face
Well, I have to say that I was really happy. I admit I jump on board almost all Husker related coaches, players & propaganda. One day I was having a conversation with a name almost all Cornhusker fans would recognize & I was touting the good luck & wisdom of hiring Frank Solich. I heard silence, and another proclamation from me was met in silence. I figured it out later why the silence. Dang, I said!😅😅😅

If we need to cut down to 105 by the spring 29 defensive backs is where we need to trim the fat.

They way I look at the 105 is.

7 specialist (2 deep at K, P, Snapper, plus one more)

88 on the 4 Deep at all starting positions.

10 more (5 offense and 5 defense)

That would mean we could carry 20-22 DB’s, if you count the Rovers as DB’s. So we would need to cut 7-9 DB’s.

this is an interesting choice of words

"urgency"

took 2 years, but I'm glad somebody has kicked Rhule in the ass to get it in gear.
Could not agree more.

He was surprised mid-season that the job he and his staff was doing was deemed unacceptable by the fans and his AD. But there are some signs that he got the message.

Or he was surprised that the team didn’t do better… I highly doubt he was surprised that fans and the AD weren’t thrilled by 6-6 prebowl game…

The guy the least “thrilled” by our performance 3/4 of the way through the season was…..Matt Rhule. He looked extremely frustrated.

Things started to improve from there - except for special teams, which were terrible all year, including the bowl game.

I would guess zero fans have ever expressed their disappointment in the football team's performance directly to Rhule since he's been hired here.

7-6 in 2024 achieved a near universal approval rating on this site.

any urgency he is feeling is not coming from fans.

No big revelation but that's already 14% of our team for next year will have come from the portal.

There are higher expectations and more scrutiny on every aspect here. Would Rhule have replaced Foley, Satterfield and McQuire if this were Temple or Baylor? I think Rhule may not have felt that difference at first. But now he has urgency.
