Way too early hot seat speculation

[shocksker]

On the topic of Raiola, all early signs point toward Dylan being a top QB draft prospect in the 2027 draft. I'm interested in how well the younger brother is doing this season for his HS team. Hopefully he develops and we can keep the outstanding QB play going for the Huskers. As for Rhule, he's at a different point in his life and career now. Sure he loves coaching so it's logical that he could go another 20 years. But this is a different situation than Temple or Baylor and this job comes after getting fired in Carolina. I think he stays at NU for the long term.

MR will retire from coaching as the Huskers head coach. He is enjoying this team A LOT. Coached many years wondering what if I'd stayed there. He wants to see this one to the end.

Nope, honestly don’t care to continue the conversation, simply think your coach is a thug and won’t even live up to Brohms accomplishments at Purdue. Made the comment on your post that it would be doing you and the boilers a favor if he bailed to head to Colorado in the future, I don’t give much thought to Purdue athletics so il just bow out.

Yup. And I asked why. I’m still asking why… Walter’s seems like a pretty good dude. Won’t be hard for him to go .500 and leave a complete rebuild. That’s what Brohm did.

If Rhule continues his upward trajectory here and starts landing even bigger recruits...Franklin may not have to lay an egg for one season to be "retired" from there...would it be ridiculous for the PSU brass to send an exploratory salvo Rhule's way and gauge interest, and depending on the answer, move on/upgrade? IDK, but that would also mean he's killed it here so I think most of us would get it, and wish him well. In fact it would be a great "problem" to have...a coach that has done so well another blue blood throws the bank at him trying to lure him away. Beats the hell out of the last several coaches who left here, ...you couldn't combine all their success after their departure(s) together and win a freaking high school game.

And that it's finally unanimous we don't want Sanders as HC.

Sadly, I don’t think that will ever be unanimous here.

Right now I see PSU as a perennial third-place power in the B1G. Recruiting classes good enough to look good and occasionally challenge for a conference championship, but rarely good enough to win.

When Rhule gets NU good enough to displace PSU (hopefully) en route to something higher THAT'S when I think Franklin's gets warm.

 

[Chief Wiggum]

Franklin should be fired for the sole reason of Frost having scoreboard on him.

Bump

-- Luke Fickell. He may not get canned after this season but Wisky is swirling around the toilet bowl with his Air Rodent offense. This season may say a lot. WARM

 

[leodisflowers]

Walter’s is safe barring a 1 win season, which would be shocking. Seat won’t get warm until after next year if he still hasn’t won 6. Which would shock me.

Could be in play with a loss this week.

Seems like it may be pretty hard...

I am probably drinking the koolaid, but there’s something about Rhule that makes me think he will want to stick around for awhile… if he can establish Nebraska as a national power once again, he will get his own statue here as well.

Again, probably drinking the koolaid…

Thomas Wolfe famously wrote "You can't go home again." I think it is hard for a coach to flourish at the school he attended. Too much pressure. Steve Spurrier pulled it off and I am sure there are others (Harbaugh, Smart), but I would say more successful college football coaches did not. Saban, Bryant, Osborne, Devaney, McKay, Carroll, Switzer, Bowen, Woody Hayes, Bo S, Royal, James, Dabo, Urban, Paterno all coached at other schools. I am not sure Mario Cristobal lasts at Miami.
