Donny gone

Solid job taking the attention away from the swing and a miss at your #1 DC target! Christmas has arrived.
My brother-in-law said last week that they’re both gone. That probably explains Rhule’s grim demeanor before the Iowa game. I think this move was dictated by either his GM or the boosters/alums. My BIL said this group of players has no love for Donovan. He knows lots of people inside the offices soooo ….
Idk that it means Dylan’s gone. Rhule better get a good replacement quick, but this needed to happen.
Vince Kehres who was just in Lincoln interviewing and is reportedly going to coach at Syracuse instead.
Be careful what you wish for. Can’t wait to see who plays QB in the bowl game
If this is true it gives me some hope that NU’s administrators and boosters have some sense. You cannot let a player and his family put themselves above an entire program.
I already assumed Dylan was gone before this and this gives him a good cover excuse to bail.
I love Nebraska football. It’s my favorite TV series of all time.
That being said, good luck Coach. Let’s get a good guy in his place.

I’m still NOT going to lay all the blame on Donovan for our struggles. There were in fact factors out of his control that contributed greatly. That said, I think this change is probably good. Time for a fresh start. Garrison would be a home run but I’m not sure he won’t have some of the same issues.
Just remember he’s all excited over getting invited over by a chick who expects him to participate with other dudes. Just sayin.
I hope it leads to improved OL play. I'm not holding my breath. It has barely mattered in 20 years who is coaching what position a Nebraska. The results tend to look exactly the same.
Donnie boy had been here longer than anyone. There's zero excuses for the crap product he put out year after year. Good riddance, and let's remove all references of Raiola, Frost, and Alberts from the program. They're all out for themselves pieces of ****.
Dylan:
"Coach Rhule, Id like to be here next season. But you have to keep me upright"
No excuses. Several logical reasons that contributed to our problems. We can maybe do better if we can find somebody who isn’t concerned about Rhule’s job security.
You said it yourself there's no reason to be concerned about his job security. His buyout is something like $71 million at the moment. We're stuck with him minimum 2 years with Dannen's idiotic extension.
I wonder if this was discussed beforehand with Dylan or Dom and what their reaction will be. You'd have to think they would have mixed reactions since Dylan wasn't being protected very well by his Uncle.
Clearly though Rhule feels the heat and changing the DC and the OL assistant coaches had to be done if Rhule wants to keep his job. Rhule needs to hire those two assistants with careful consideration like he hired the ST coach last year.

A new OC would be nice as well, imo. But it doesn't look like that will happen.
Yeah I’m not so sure about that anymore. IF Dylan leaves, we’re EXTREMELY thin at QB. TJ’s injury might be more serious than we think. IF a new DC struggled as well, a 3-4 win season could force a change regardless of the cost. Assistants see coaches getting axed with huge buyouts. Why would they think we wouldn’t do the same leaving them looking for work and having to move their family again?
I can see two reasons why Kehres is not with the Huskers. 1. He was not offered the job. His interview was just a formality as Rhule already has his new DC coach selected. 2. Kehres learned from the interview that he wanted no part of Matt Rhule experience because no smart coach would choose Syracuse! over a Big Ten school unless he had a very good reason.
3. He views Syracuse as a more stable situation with lower expectations and an easier schedule.
I think Matt's future lies about 75% in the hands of Pat Stewart.
Good. It was a problem with only one solution.
