Dana’s play calls late last night started looking a lot like Satt’s. 😕
Rhule is the right HC for Nebraska
- Thread starter HUSKERBILL
- Start date
A troll or just another sunshine pumping homer moron? Hard to tell them apart sometimes
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….
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.
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.
My point is, why does Deion get credit for turning Colorado around but Rhule doesn't get credit for turning Baylor and Temple around?
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.
Fine, but irrelevant. We lose to bad teams. It’s not like our schedule was hard
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.
The Big 12 is much more competitive top to bottom than our shitty, plodding league
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.....
14 of 18 B1G teams have 7 or fewer wins
Absolute shit league, just like always
It’s Deions 2nd year right? Haha you have clouded judgement
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.
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.

Because he didn't. Had a decent season and then abandoned them. I'd hardly call that turning a program around.
You have to separate “head coach” and “OC”. Bring good at one doesn’t make you good at the other.
But DH’s proven history and rankings in total offense are all you should need to verify what I said. He might have the highest total offense rankings of any OC in the last 20 years.
Recruiting.
Run defense
That’s a pretty good start to building a program in the Big Ten
Positive spin...Rhule's 2nd season at Nebraska mirrored his 2nd seasons at Temple and Baylor. It was his 1st season at Nebraska that was better than his type season 1.
So we can still hope for that Season 3 bounce.

What happened at Temple or Baylor has no relevance to what is happening at Nebraska. Different teams, different conferences, different players, different fanbases, different history, different expectations, different assistant coaches, NIL vs no NIL, old transfer rule vs no transfer rules, no roster limit vs 105.
If there is a bounce in year 3, it will not be due to some formula of Rhule’s. It will be due to changes he didn’t want to make but he was forced.
You lost me at “but he was forced”. He wanted Dana. They’re buds. I’m not sure anything was “forced” on him but losing makes you assess what you’re doing. He was clearly pissed with Satterfield’s play calling at Indiana. Rhule isn’t an idiot. He knew he needed a new play caller. Nobody “wants” to fire or demote employees. Sometimes you have to do it.
Rhule gets a chance to stand or fall with his own players. He has shown more than sufficient loyalty to the players that were on the roster when he got here. Let’s say he retains Holgerson and stacks another decent recruiting class. Even if Tony leaves the culture of tackling is going to stay behind with the assistance that worked with him over a couple of years and we may end up with a defense that’s more appropriate for the league.
Colorado’s three losses are to Nebraska, Kansas and Kansas State. Who have a combined 17 losses, and are probably the three best teams they played. All “Coach Prime’s” success and improvement came from switching conferences and playing a super soft schedule.
The timing of it was forced. The awareness that something had to be done now was something that happened only after the fanbase lost their patience to remain quiet.
I’m turning down PJ Fleck, yes. I think fanboys of PJ are giant douchers … I’m look’n at you bruce.
I'm not a fan boy. As a fan growing up to witness Osborne's consistency and last 5 year masterpiece, I appreciate Flecks style. He isn't Osborne but he understands you have to establish the run. Him and Campbell have done a tremendous job of doing more with less. His recruiting rankings are always 38 to 50 and he goes bowling. I'm done talking about this with dudes who act like little gossiping teenage girls who would rather see us struggle to go to bowls than have a successful program because someone "comes off as a douche". We won't hire Fleck. But he would kill it here. And newsflash, OSU fan wants Day fired and a lot of them would have no problem hiring Fleck to replace him.

Luv him or hate him but Fleck gets a lot done with not as much talent
I don’t like his rah rah routine but he has taken Minnesota to 5 bowl games and winning all of them.
