Meh, just making sure I do my part.

Rhule should be 12-0 every year. Nebraska should be top 5 in recruiting every year. They should get every transfer they want. Those are my expectations. Now find the coach to meet them. I don't want to read any excuses as to why it can't be done.
Another pathetic response. Yeah I said anything close to what you jumped to.

Either it's intentional or you're truly pathetic.

I don’t disagree with the exception that Cigs is a unicorn and would be akin to buying a billion dollar powerball ticket. There is the excitement of winning but buying the ticket doesn’t mean you will and honestly the odds are extremely low.

So can we get someone who will really turn this thing. The revolving door isn’t doing us any favors - I will officially be off the Rhule train if we are soft as a hell and clueless int wh red zone on O again this year.
I'm not here to change your mind but saying if he's soft again you're off the train. He's been soft every year. He has 2 wins in November in 3 years. Sorry I'm just tired of people defending this clown.

A trap game is typically one where you are overlooking a team for the following game. Since Ohio is first, I am pretty sure they aren't going to overlook Ohio for Bowling Green.

Every main player for the team is currently in Lincoln and will go through spring, summer and fall camp. I doubt cobbling a team together is going to be an issue. It isn't like they only have fall camp like the old days.
So how has that worked out here in the past? Wasn't it just last fall that our DC was saying he could not get guys to tackle properly after the Minnesota game? New QB, New RB1, New O line mostly. New defense 4-2-5 being implemented. My statement about this being a trap game was due to Ohio being a quality smaller college program. How many of these guys have played an actual game together?

The odds of winning 9+ games in a given season isn’t extremely low

you’ve just been watching teams coached by losers Mike Riley Scott frost and Matt Rhule for a decade so it looks impossible
I’m more talking a perennial losing program going to playoffs year1 and winning the natty year2.

100% agree there is no reason we should not have won 9 games last year and have that be a reasonable expectation.

For me it’s more about knowing Rhule is here regardless this next year so I’m trying to find some hope to keep from jumping off my roof.

So give me the details on what Ohio has coming back, who they brought in ect to think their coach who was a DC for them but has one game as HC. Is going to have them cobbled together.


Oh yeah, Matt Rhule sucks and Nebraska needs a new football coach

I see the potential for a 9 win season.

5-1 to start.. I think most agree on that

I think we can win Oregon, Washington, Rutgers, and Iowa after that.

If Colandrea is what I think he is, this is very doable..

(I think we can get 1 game from the Indiana, Oregon, & Ohio State trio, so if it's not Oregon, then probably Ohio State)

Lmao you really need to find a new dealer.

So did we. But I guess that only checks the box in the cons column for Ohio? At least in your little fantasy world?
Fantasy world? Nebraska will be favored by 10 points in that game. I will take Colandrea, Lateef or Kaelin over the New Hampshire QB transfer they have coming in.

Nebraska will have a talent level advantage across the board.

Rhule sucks, Nebraska needs a new football coach.

Break down the games. What are the 6 miraculous wins?

Matt Rhule sucks. Nebraska needs a new football coach
There is a non-zero chance we start 2-1.

Every game after is a toss-up, with Indiana, Oregon, Ohio State, and Iowa being guaranteed L's.

Michigan State has a massive coaching advantage.
Maryland took a miracle off the back of a player no longer here to win this season.
Washington has a massive coaching/QB advantage.
Illinois has a massive coaching advantage.
Rutgers feels winnable, I guess? Also feels like we're due to not squeak out another W against them.

LOL at fbschedules listing the Big Ten championship too.

And in that one bowl game, he effectively shut down Colandrea en route to a win.

Unfortunately, Colandrea had a much better coach than he will in 2026.

So are you now stating that the team around the QB matters?
Of course, and the most important driver of a team's performance is HC.

Between UNLV, Texas Tech, and Nebraska, Nebraska is is the worst at that position. By quite a lot.

Happy for Colandrea he's getting a pay bump, though. Maybe we can give Mullen a pay bump in 2027 too.

Are you done pretending to be stupid?

It is a pointless discussion in general. How a QB plays in a game, playing for a different team, in a previous season is not at all relevant or indicative of how that player will play going forward for a different team. Talk about pretending to be stupid.

It’s very safe to assume colandrea will be considerably less explosive and effective here than he was at UNLV

Remind me, aren’t you the one that wanted Fred run out of town several years ago?

To be fair, I think most people were ready to run Fred out of town when his record was 24-67 here. Nobody thought he would ever get us to ranked in the Top 5 in the country.

Fred got us to 3rd in the Big Ten by Year 5, if Rhule can do that I will gladly eat my words. First I'd just like to see him beat a ranked team.

You mean Hoiberg who had the lowest winning percentage of any Nebraska basketball head coach in history after 3 years? It's great that he's turning things around but don't pretend that he should have been extended back then, he was 21-65 and still hasn't reached .500 yet at Nebraska.

Prior performance and surrounding factors are 100% relevant.

In fact, it's the only thing that's relevant.

Throwing your hands up and saying nobody could possibly use evidence of eyes and ears to make a claim is, well, pretending to be stupid.

Unless you're not pretending, that is.

The #1 predictor of future performance is prior performance.

Then explain Sam Darnold with the 49ers, Jets and Panthers vs Vikings and Seahawks.

You are using one game as an indicator of future performance. A bowl game at that, where the QB was 2 days from announcing he was going to the portal. That one game is irrelevant to how he will perform against Ohio in 2026 playing for Nebraska.

In Sam darnolds life, his jets and panthers stops are an extreme outlier

clearly there exists leadership so inept it supersedes even the most steadfast of performers

Shanahan has said publicly that Sam knew he had no idea how to operate an NFL offense following his time with the NYJ and dipshit Rhule. So he reached out and asked to come to SF to be the backup and learn.

Thats widely reported and on record. Smart by Sam to get away from those losers. Wish we were doing the same.

Don't forget Brady in Carolina.

Six years in the NFL with 3 franchises isn't the majority of his adult football life?

I didn’t say adult life, I said life

The only time darnold has been bad in his entire life is when he was on the dysfunctional clueless jets and playing for Rhule

knowing what we know about both really brings his struggles into focus (unless of course you’re willfully ignorant)

same goes for Joe Brady - the only time he’s been bad is when he worked for Rhule. Something Dana holg will soon also be able to say.
