Rhule is the right HC for Nebraska

[dinglefritz]

If Rhule can't keep Holgerson, he's f'ed. DH is the only Offensive coach that shows any competency at all.

If he effs it up by not giving Dana complete control to fire and hire (who he sees fit to) on that side of the ball.

Next, fire the worst special teams coach in college football.

Finally, enough of the false tough guy bullshit. Issue an immediate public apology. Not shaking hands during the coin toss, walking through a teams warm-ups, the "midfield prayer" bs, and etc.

for everyone that has played and/or coached, you know that some of this shit is bush-league....at best.

Maybe instead, focus your attention on hiring competent assistant coaches. Make sure your players are mentally tough during the game. Not some bulls!t preacher talk prior to the game, after the game, or during the offseason.

Little things and attention to detail matter. It's the difference between NU and Iowa. NU (talent-wise) is clearly the better team. Coaching matters. Being mentally tough and solid fundamentally matters.

If there is no progress in the above areas after next season, Rhule needs to be fired. It will cost the University more to keep him than to fire him.

Dana’s play calls late last night started looking a lot like Satt’s. 😕

 

[Landomatic]

That guy is an actual troll. One of the biggest on the board for years.

The fact people take him seriously with that moniker tells you just how desperate we are for any shred of good news.

Makes me laugh. My hat is off to him for showing just how pathetically clueless most fans on this board are.

A troll or just another sunshine pumping homer moron? Hard to tell them apart sometimes

 

[dinglefritz]

Another dumbass

But at least it was a funny response. He’s not just mean. He’s ANGRY!

 

[dinglefritz]

Rhule got exactly what he wanted. A long term padded contract.

In my profession if you pay someone a guarantee the results are poor compared to those who are hungry and work for it

We look clueless. I get why people are rallying behind him, why not? Take the high road. We are stuck with him.

We’ve been stuck. This guy is no different. We lost to every decent coach on the schedule sans Deon

Wait. I’ve been told for almost two years now what a great coach Fickell was. Oh and Leipold has 5 wins in a cupcake conference….

 

[HuskerDana]

Dana’s play calls late last night started looking a lot like Satt’s. 😕

Other than the head scratching reverse call to Carter Nelson. I didn't really have a huge problem with the play calling. He can't go out and catch or throw the ball for them. He also can't help them hang on to the ball.

 

[Harry Caray]

I’m not convinced Deboer is going to last in Tuscaloosa. Coaching at Blue Blood programs and winning per expectations is not easy. Most don’t succeed. The expectations are higher than reality most of the time.

I couldnt disagree more on the “young coach no one has heard of”. That same young coach will have a young staff no one has heard of.

I hope DeBoer doesn't last at Alabama, so that we can hire him when we fire Rhule

He calls too many pass plays for my liking when the run game is working but he loves his QB.

DeBoer needs to last there at least another year for that to happen.

I like Lance. Never wanted Fickell.

Lance resurrected the dead

They have 5 wins in a very week conference and are getting drilled by Baylor today.

 

[moralvictories]

So Rhule’s the “definition of mediocre” (your exact words) too then? Or sounds like you’re sayings because it takes Rhule 3 and Deion did it in 2, Rhule is worse than mediocre. Is that your point?

My point is, why does Deion get credit for turning Colorado around but Rhule doesn't get credit for turning Baylor and Temple around?

 

[c3o]

They have 5 wins in a very weak conference and are getting drilled by Baylor today.

they had a bad year. But this year is light years better than what Lance inherited. They also beat 3 ranked teams in a row.

I don’t know much but I think it took them a while to figure things out after the coordinator left for PSU

I don’t care if those teams in that conference were ranked. The Big 12 is not a power conference anymore.

 

[HuskerHusaria]

Poked my head in here... And I'm out.

Fine, but irrelevant. We lose to bad teams. It’s not like our schedule was hard

 

[HuskerDana]

Fair enough. I get what you are saying. Still, Neyor doesn't drop the ball....and we're talking about a two to three score win.

So you’re saying some of his success was his OC? I think he’s a good coach too but I don’t think he would recruit well enough at NU.

 

[beaglehusker]

Certainly went away from the run game at times

The Big 12 is much more competitive top to bottom than our shitty, plodding league

Bullshit

 

[Bruce1981]

He needs to run more but I don't know if that is who he is. I'm surprised he ran the ball more than he passed last night already.

We had 76 snaps to iowa's 41.....

 

[king_kong_]

Bullshit

14 of 18 B1G teams have 7 or fewer wins

Absolute shit league, just like always

 

[Walleye79]

Similar to Matt Rhule's 3rd year at Temple and Baylor, right?

It’s Deions 2nd year right? Haha you have clouded judgement

 

[c3o]

Fair enough.

That is not a point at all. You are moving goal post every time some challenges your opinion. This is Deion at Cu and Rhule at NU. Answer this. Who has been more successful? They both have 2 years at the current schools.

 

[Antwill]

Irony of all who are wanting Rhule fired is that we were just beaten (again) by the school who has most bucked the trend of getting rid of a coach who had some bad seasons. And most of those seasons were after he had been there for several years, not in the first two years of a rebuild.

Not saying we shouldn't have higher standards than Iowa, but who among us wouldn't have been thrilled with an 8 win season this year? Baby steps.

 

[oldjar07]

My point is, why does Deion get credit for turning Colorado around but Rhule doesn't get credit for turning Baylor and Temple around?

Because he didn't. Had a decent season and then abandoned them. I'd hardly call that turning a program around.
