another undefeated off-season
another undefeated off-season
I still have no idea how he became an NFL head coach. Then again, there’s always an even bigger idiot of a billionaire to throw money around.
NU should hire Rhule's agent as University president, chancellor and athletic director, all rolled into one.
Whoever he is, he's an all-time overachiever.
You know, it is possible (probable) he has slipped a bunch since then. Age has a way of doing that. He is right in that sweet spot of an age where you ain't what you used to be all of the sudden. Or so I've heard
I disagree. 50-60 should be when you peak in your profession. Combination of experience/life lessons from your own mistakes/learning from others. If the person has a curious personality, their 50s are the best they have to offer. Which means we are doomed with Rhule…
I think he’s far too comfortable at NU, especially with the extension. He basically taunted the press yesterday after the loss mentioning it.
...he's lost the fanbase. Doesn't matter what he says at this point. Now... we wait for the end. Will it be the long goodbye, or does he experience an undisclosed "health issue" and just walk away to "spend more time with family..."
As I am sure most of us have realized, people that do the hiring are usually morons.
My favorite, people that work in HR!
Wait, so you are NOT an engineer but you will decide who makes it through to the next rounds of interviews to see who will be hired to be an engineer? But, why?
This is so true.
I don't want to end up like iowa fans where they pretend like their coach will "get it all figured out" in year 30.
I love when you mention something specific that applies to the field, and the HR recruiter has no idea what you're talking about and just thinks you're making stuff up.
Hahaha!
Classic stuff!
Or when they clearly just have a set of questions that they are just asking so that they can check off that box.
Yeah, except your energy levels plummet compared to your 40s...but you have tens of millions of dollars so you don't really give a **** anymore. Or so I've heard
If the BIG donors would stop going after retreads and go some of the young star coaches maybe Nebraska would have a chance. You don't need to spend 50-100 million on a coach to win, there are a lot of young coaches who can do a great job at Nebraska. But those big donors want a big name splash they don't want a young up and coming no name, they want that retread, yuck!
That would mean God doesn’t hate Nebraska football anymore. I’ll pray every day that he chooses to go spend time with family. Please, please let it happen.
Totally agree. Spend less on an up and comer from a great coach. Try Cignetti’s Offensive or D coordinator. I guarantee they’ve learned how to do it right. Funnel whatever else we can to buying a roster.
The harder you get coached BY THIS STAFF the more coaching you will need to......wait! I think the old garbage in garbage out is in play here. NM...
Nebraska is a conservative and reactive place. We don't like change and only want change when the status quo is awful. We only want something new if it is connected to something old that we liked...ie...Scott Frost. And then when that thing fails we want something different...like somebody old and seasoned, and then when that failed we want the thing that we didn't want before. Solich--> Cally> Bo-->Reilly--> Frost-->Rhule are all reactive hires where the current hire was made in relationship to the past hire...that should never happen. Hire the most talented people possible no matter what they change or shakeup is something that never happens at NU. Might be a farm culture thing, or a farming mindset, as change risks the yield and up until recently risk and change meant starvation.
Nope. Dannen will get fired and then new AD will fire Rhule
90% of husker fans agreed an extension of him was not worthy. It happened anyway.
Spot on. That is the way it will play out. The wretched state of the football program and the new ticket policies, both are great reasons to fire Dannen today. The extension is also in play. I am trying to find something he has done that makes sense.
NU Administration has extended, and then turned around and fired every single coach since Solich. Rhule appears right on track to continue the trend. That is the definition of insanity, yet is probably the defining characteristic of our football program over the last 2 decades.

There is a lot of truth to that.
FB coaches have become some of the greatest salesmen in the world. The amount of money they demand for doing a job that HS coaches do for about 5k is unreal.
Not sure I'd use Iowa as an example after that Friday debacle.
Either HCMR is in over his head or fans have unrealistic expectations.
If you want to end up like iowa, keep rooting for that, because most NU fans don't want that.
The idea that there needs to be all these "steps" to be good is insane. Look at Indiana.
That is a real factor when you are making money with your body. Much less so when making money with your mind.
I pretty much have. From 1998 to 2012 I attended almost every single home game. Then it went to about half of the games the last decade. The last few years I always tried to catch at least one game. This year I would not have gone if it would not been for free tickets and my son wanting to make a game.
Add the cost of a soda and slice of pizza at games today is ridiculous. Two sodas and two slices of pizza was $30 at the game. My God. Typically I would have boughten additional food items such as popcorn. With the prices I told my son he had two choices pizza or the popcorn. It's not that I can't afford it it's just I'm not going to be robbed multiple times.
I agree that the the next hire is a response to the prior hire. Hire someone not like the guy before instead of the best possible option. Truthfully, other than Riley, none of them were bad hires at the time. Some of them were just kept longer than they should have been. I think also we have to accept that firing a coach that just had back-to-back winning seasons after a decade of losing seasons is going to make this job look even less inviting to potential hires. Rhule also entered with a completely bare cupboard unlike Pelini and Solich. Frost and Riley were unmitigated disasters leading up to Rhule. Frost should have been fired after year three but wasn't because of his Nebraska ties. Even then, it took another Nebraska legacy AD to do it.
Unless next season is a complete meltdown I think Rhule has earned at least two more years to turn this program into a top program or at least be good enough to beat the Iowas of the world. Cignetti was winning the lottery for Indiana and can't be the measure of success every other school expects. The only coach I'd have the confidence in to win right away at the highest level is Urban Meyer and I think that ship has sailed.
