Maybe. But two years ago when we were looking for a coach, he was 46-42 at ISU, coming off a 4-8 season, and was 1-5 against Iowa.
Who Should We Have Hired?

I sure do, this was from November of 2022:
Here’s the whole thread, where my takes aged beautifully and brainlets like Tuco and headcard’s did not
A Closer Look at Matt Rhule's 11-3 season
I've been negative on Matt Rhule so I decided to take a dive on his 2019 team to have a more informed opinion. Stephen F. Austin: 56-17 Good, clean win over an FCS program. That's how a P5 team should perform against FCS. SFA would finish the season 3-9 UTSA: 63-14 Another dominant win...nebraska.forums.rivals.com
Here’s another thread from October of 2022:
I missed the part where you said Rhule was the worst option on that list? 🙂Nevertheless, I liked Klieman too, not as much as Kiffin or Rhule. That being said, outside of Klieman and the fat guy, I’m not sure the rest of that bunch are much better.
Yes. But they do a lot with a little. Their recruiting classes are probably as good as Houston’s.
No, I didn’t verify that.
I just guessed
Was I right?
Yep. And I don’t remember anyone ever talking about still wanting him by the time we were actually searching.
Urban was always no. 1 no matter how much money was involved. Maybe it's too late and he'll never be back.
I wanted Chadwell offense, but Klineman was top of the list if I'm remembering right.
I was vocal at first about not liking the Rhule hire but settled down and said I would give him a chance. Not anymore he's blown that chance with his failures. I'm tired of waiting, I'm done with this clown show of coaching hires. They owe the state and us fans a better product.

I was a big fan of his. He had won everywhere he has been and he grew up a Nebraska fan. But was told his teams passed too much and he didn’t have enough P5 experience. Of course a year later his Washington team was in the playoffs
Klieman would have been the best coach and his record speaks for itself.
We should’ve hired someone a year earlier than we hired Rhule but blockhead trev was too timid to fire the worst coach in NU history after all the moral victories in ‘21
king_kong
We should have hired king_kong Dude knows everything and is an offensive and defensive genius the likes of we have never seen. Comparable to Belichick, but better. We are simply graced he takes the time to post on this board.
Yep, one of those head scratcher losses. Two things:
1) Willie Fritz is a good coach, had Kliemans number at Tulane, too
2) Kansas State is still in prime position to compete for a playoff spot
Monken would be the best hire, but he wouldn't come here. And I'm tired of husker fans thinking we are somehow above this offense/style. We have a five star quarterback and still cannot do what everyone else is doing. We have piles of evidence.
Klieman is the best on that list, but we need to find someone who just wins everywhere.
Is the criteria for a potential new coaching hire that he never loses a game? Eliminates quite a few candidates, don't you think?
I picked Brett and still wish we had hired him over Frost.
Haven't seen him in a while. Meanwhile Bielema's gut seems to have expanded.
We have the money to expand our doorways.
Looking back we should have hired the fat man or kileman. We at least would have a semi functional staff, run the damn ball, and not making the same stupid mistakes.
But if LL would have brought his QB with him then we could have been really good especially if his OC stayed with him.
What? Dude just got worked over by Minny. Missed a bowl game last year.
I guess I am an amazing vagina.
That’s kinda the point. None of the replacement options seems like much of an upgrade. They all have some pretty shitty losses
No but a loss to a 3 win team like Houston, coupled with 3 narrow victories is reason to judge.
I think he would fail in the big ten
There are currently 3 teams ahead of them and 4 teams who also have 2 conference losses right there with them. That puts exactly half their conference in prime position to compete for a playoff spot.
Yeah, I'm right there with you on Urban. If Trev didn't throw everything at him to get him and he still turned us down, then he effed up big time. I'm 100% sure there was interest. I guess we'll never know why it didn't happen. I have my suspicions it was more about morals than budget though.
KU had a tough schedule to start off with. Never schedule a P5 program game one unless you are a perennial power. Lose that first game and you are going to be starting from behind.
Interesting thread but a moot point. We hired Rhule and even though we will most likely end 5-7 once again he will not be fired. We are stuck with preacher boy for at least one more year. We will be even worse next year so hopefully he will get shit-canned at the end of next year.
Then we pull out all the stops to hire a coach with a proven track record of winning. Not a guy like Rhule who has one good year at a team and then bolts. We need someone like a Klieman or Campbell who have shown the ability to win consistently

OP - you gotta make these public next time. I wanna see the 13 cucks that voted Rhule
They play 1 of those 3, and I’m confident Colorado doesn’t win out
Irrelevant to the fact that Klieman is a way better coach than Rhule
