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.
