Week 11 Press conference

[beaglehusker]

T.O. out worked his opposition every day of the week his whole coaching career. It's no accident that helped him to the success he had. I was fortunate enough to walk through his office a couple of times in the 80's and 90's when he was with his team at East Cmpus on Saturday morning before a game and could see every wall of his office covered with X's and O's on how he was going to attack the the opposing defense that day. He was thorough beyond belief. Things don't happen by accident.

No short cuts to success

If you can’t do it yourself then bring someone else in that can. Rhule knows he can’t be as hard nosed and blunt so credit to him for bringing Dana in. Better late than never. But I did hear Dana say in January he was wanting to do this. I wonder if Rhule would have named him OC at that point had Dana been down with it.

He wanted Dana to come in last December and I remember that but Dana wasn't ready and wanted to decompress as he had just been fired from Houston and fresh into the unemployment line and wasn't ready, plus I think his Buyout had something to do with it and the timing of it was bad as well.

Rhule also knows his expertise isn’t on the offensive side of the ball. He’s a defensive coach.

Yeah, seems like Holgorsen is kind of a dick. We had a head coach that was a major dick and he happened to win 9-10 games all seven years he was here.

As I don’t think any P5 team is gonna hire DH, I think he’s likely to stay. And if so, I think 2-3 coaches get replaced for sure, maybe more.

That would be huge because next year our schedule is easier than this year, IMO.

Plus DH can put in his offense fully and coach them up. Frankly he was far better when just the OC and not having to deal with all the head coach responsibilities.

Now.. If only the defensive coaches had someone come in to demand accountability too

There's a difference in a dick paranoid coach and a coach that's a dick because he's blunt

 

[SickOfPractice]

I have to hand it to Rhule in allowing DH to freely answer questions from the press, and mostly for apparently handing the offense over to new guy in the midst of the season.

I had to read that twice. 🤔

 

[Big bo fan]

He’s been there a couple weeks

The depth chart has changed much over the year.

 

[HuskerAlum92]

What a wonderful change hearing a coach speak honestly and say the truth. DH isn’t worried about coddling and hurting feelings. He has high expectations. Have to really like him for that. Why hadn’t Rhule said those things to the players? I really hope DH stays around. Rhule needs to hear the truth.

It’s kind of a perfect setup for someone like him. Come in with some big swinging dick energy, lay out the brutal truth as you see it, change up the depth chart as you like, and call the plays.

If there’s any signs of improvement, you get all the credit and a series of fat paychecks. And if not, you might still get the paychecks.

Just too bad that it had to wait until the season is almost over.

Yeah, my point is those types get it done. Pelini was just fvking nuts though but won. DH is blunt and harsh and that’s exactly what we need at this point.
Saban also chewed everyone’s ass and all he did was be the greatest college coach ever. Lanning seems dickish and look at his record.

Sign me up for those types ( without the paranoia)

 

[1Ramsker3]

Carter?

I got to think it's Carter too.

Man, Fidone is just not the guy. At least not consistently. I feel bad for him because of the injuries but that's the hand he's been dealt by the almighty.

 

[1Ramsker3]

The PC was an inditement on the current situation. In some respects I have to respect that MR made the decision to bring DH in as OC but I'm like most, what the F took so long?

If you asked me today, right now, I'd make DH associate head coach, OC....pay him whatever he wanted to keep him (i know pay isn't the issue) and I'd give him as much control as he wanted (fire assistants etc., recruiting).

I hope that happens. Especially if we make a bowl and end that pathetic streak. Would love an experienced WR coach, who can also recruit big time WR and land them.

People like to long for the past in here, so I’ll be the first to say it: Mickey Joseph 😆

 

[Pennsyhusker]

Modern college football is a huge money making business. Coaches are paid millions. The better players getting big chunks of money. The old days of purely “amateur student athletes” football are over. Coaches need to adjust and adopt more of an NFL mentality and treat the players like adults who are going to be held accountable. Play with a slack-jawed laziness and you are gone. Treating players in a way that coddles them on the grounds that they are just “kids” is a recipe for what we have seen. Here is to hoping that Rhule fires some of his assistants and brings in guys who get the new reality.

 

[Charlie Marlow]

Osborne wasn’t too dickish but he had some of his assistants take on that role for the most part. He did break out the ‘dadgummit’ once a decade or so though
