Someone has to take the fall for the low iq decision to extend the idiot in command of the football program.
Fire Troy Dannen
- Thread starter HuskAir
- Start date
How did it not increase the buyout? He added two more years at 12million plus guaranteed. Appears to me the buyout increased by 24-25 million.
I cannot disagree more. There was objectively no reason to extend him. He had done fine to that point, nothing special or otherworldly, just fine. They're paying him like he's otherworldly, elite. They're extending him at that rate and expectations. They could pay 1/10th of what they're paying him to another coach for a similar result today. It was a panic move and we're just delaying the inevitable firing by 3 more years.
We should have been happy if rhule took psu. Instead, we actively tried to make sure it wouldn't happen.
In reality, they were never hiring him.

Uhhh, Common Core math dingle. LOL
Matt is the #15 highest paid coach in college football. We're not far from being the #15 team in our league.
If I thought that firing another AD or even head coach would make the program better in the next 3-5 years, I'd be right with you. The program is a shambles, and I think that it has a lot more to do with a decade plus of players taking losses way too easily than it does our AD or HC. Players have to change that, and for whatever reason, they don't want to or aren't allowed to at Nebraska anymore. No matter who is coaching.
We had players blow multiple assignments today that ended in points for Iowa after huge chunk plays. Is that coaching or is that not having good enough players? Do your job. Make a tackle when you have a chance. Don’t blow your pass coverage.
Our coaches don’t get bought out. We pay them to get the **** out.
Year 3 and Matt’s best player is a Frost guy. So yes this is all on Rhule. This is the team he assembled. It’s on him if players aren’t good enough and the coaches if players are blowing assignments. He managed this roster:We had players blow multiple assignments today that ended in points for Iowa after huge chunk plays. Is that coaching or is that not having good enough players? Do your job.

Yeah I’m kind of in the camp that we’re kind of stuck now and better hope Rhule can win 7 again next year. Looking at the schedule 5-6 looks more likely to me. I don’t think changing horses in mid-stream makes much sense. I would bet money Rhule gets a minimum of 3 more years.
I didn’t even find that question worthy of an answer.
Well actually Frost didn’t want EJ. Ron Brown was who was high on EJ and insisted we offer. Interesting since Minnesota didn’t offer him.
He’s the obvious answer because he’s a RB. We have another guy or two might eventually end up higher on draft boards. I didn’t want to assume to know what he was thinking.
Doesn’t get any more naive than these 2 idiotic responses. So it’s everyone else’s but the coaches fault? Totally delusional. Rhule is obviously in over his head, has no idea how to field a physical team or manage a game, is TERRIBLE at hiring coaches and developing players. None of that is even disputable lolWe had players blow multiple assignments today that ended in points for Iowa after huge chunk plays. Is that coaching or is that not having good enough players?

There’s no point in correcting the unconditional butt kissers about the extension costing NU more money. They’ve latched onto a talking point and they are sticking to it. Rhule's remaining contract years are not 100% guaranteed, but he gets 90% of the base salary if he is fired. That was already the case before the extension, so the extension puts NU on the hook for about another $21 million.
A few days ago someone actually claimed the extension didn’t add any more years and that “Rhule got nothing!” It’s like they’re hypnotized.

roflmao......... Troy.......get **** off the board
we have better athletes than IowaWe had players blow multiple assignments today that ended in points for Iowa after huge chunk plays. Is that coaching or is that not having good enough players? Do your job. Make a tackle when you have a chance. Don’t blow your pass coverage.
Iowa has 10x better coaching than we do
We do not have better athletes in the lines and at QB. Those are pretty important.
Um no. The score I gave “easy” was 31 to 24 but I said 24 was probably too generous for TJ. I figured a 2 TD beat down.
And I said I gave the edge to Iowa. But, I NEVER predict scores when its such a game of momentum.
you my friend are retarded on every level of husker football
I’m just happy that the word retarded is back. Even the president of the United States is calling people retarded on social media.
proper coaching teaches you where to be and when
you as a former player knows this better than anyone
mushrooms affecting your cognitive thinking?
The wallowing in self pity and blame assignment is an interesting post game ritual for Husker fans.
you can't follow a conversation can you?
sit down moron
My wallowing in pity for the Huskers ended about 15 years ago. We haven't played a game that mattered since then. And we're not going to for what looks like a long time.
The clock continues to tick closer to an era of NU football in which no one under the age of 40 will even remember the last time NU won a championship (conference or national). At some point you have to expect fan excitement to taper. Someone needs to be held accountable for the last 3 AWFUL seasons. It certainly won't be Rhule. Dannen may be the scapegoat.
