Wins.
Welcome back, how was the vacation?No. it was based on the fact that a buddy of Shanle’s from his days in New Orleans got sent packing from Carolina Rhule’s first year there. It was all personal vendetta based on a buddy losing his coaching job.
Wins.I don't know. Strength of schedule has to play a role. We have a really soft schedule so I'd expect us to win more than Auburn who has to play Georgia, LSU and Alabama plus some other pretty stiff competition. Also, the state of the program they took over should factor. Colorado should be a much bigger rebuild with a 1-11 team than a 7-6 Wisconsin. Not sure how you quantify it, but I think it's more than just number of wins.
In way over a decade on this board I don’t think I’ve ever said anything derogatory about a moderator…..Welcome back, how was the vacation?
I think all Shanle would say is "someone better". Maybe he gave specific names, but I don't remember him ever doing so. To be fair, I think he would allude towards Mickey Joseph as to who he wanted. But with that, Shanle dogged on Rhule for not winning more than 53% of his games nor winning championships. If that's the threshold then why would he want Mickey?Hahaha yeah because that worked so well last round. Who did he want? After Frost, there wasn't anyone even remotely qualified. And Zac Taylor wasn't walking through that door.
The whole former player thing, cringe. Part of the issue with the past twenty years.Shanle can go eat a bag of crows.
For Shanle to come out that strongly against Rhule, and then never try to explain the why, who, or when, protecting his own flank/buddy/grudge, was a puss move. He might even be right, who knows at this point. But get off the damn radio if you’re not actually willing to talk.I think all Shanle would say is "someone better".

Shanle did say, "Frost didn't win fast enough, early enough." Uh, how about win at all?!?! Haha!
All in all, like @dinglefritz said, I believe it was a personal vendetta against Rhule because some of Shanle's friends got their feelings hurt by Rhule.
Bring in Durham, Brix, and Taumua then call it a wrap.
He sure shut up when Rhule embraced former players and TO. To be fair, Rhule is an outsider who isn’t going to make everybody happy. That said, I have no doubt that Rhule would welcome Shanle on the bus if he decided to hop on.For Shanle to come out that strongly against Rhule, and then never try to explain the why, who, or when, protecting his own flank/buddy/grudge, was a puss move.

Him and Brix would be huge.
Not if you’re playing a significantly tougher schedule than your peers.Wins.
No one ever cared about strength of schedule when we were winning. I believe strength of schedule is what losers lament.
Wins are the currency of success.
This would be a great addition for this year and establishing future recruiting success.

So much talent in the islands.This would be a great addition for this year and establishing future recruiting success.

GTFO sooners. We don’t have enough elite talent that we can share it with you.
Does it make some Husker fans mad that a lot of these guys comment that they like Raiola?
Seriously Clark??? Did you get a time out??In way over a decade on this board I don’t think I’ve ever said anything derogatory about a moderator…..
It had to be something that involved King Kong, right?Seriously Clark??? Did you get a time out??
Brix sounds like it's 50-50 NU or KSU. Carter, Danny and Flynt may be the deciding factor to sway him N.Landing both these highly regarded OL would be a boon
Why in hell would a big time recruit living outside of Kansas want to go to Kansas State?Brix sounds like it's 50-50 NU or KSU. Carter and Danny may be the deciding factor to sway him N.
Nope,It had to be something that involved King Kong, right?
You are completely wrong. T.O was in hot water precisely because the big 8 north teams were sometimes very bad.. for a decade or more of his career Colorado, K st. Kansas, Iowa state, missouri were AWFUL, TERRIBLE. He fed on doormats but then lost often to OU and a southern bowl team who was faster. For whatever reason a talent surge moved north during the early 90s and Kansas st, Colorado became good teams and NU dominant while OU fell apart. But for most of T.Os career he and the program were criticized for a soft schedule and losing to the only good teams on the schedule, the September Power 5 matchup, OU, and the bowl game.Wins.

Strength of Schedule was not a factor back then and Osborne owned OU in the 80s and 90sYou are completely wrong.

I feel like they must be looking for certain people because I’ve blatantly been breaking ze Führer’s rules and haven’t had my wrist slapped….yetI caught a short lived posting ban from a pretty harmless comment in that thread.
