- For him, spring will be evaluating what the players do well and the approach he takes will gel in fall camp.
- He thinks the OL is more athletic this year, but perhaps a tick down on the strength side.
- I knew he was high on Bonner and his versatility. He came back to Bonner in his comments. Said when he went down, that changed how the offense could play.
- He likes Nelson a lot, but says Rule may run better than all of them.
If anyone on this Forum thinks Dana is competent at his job , I ask you to go back and re-watch the Minnesota Game from last year.

Take a look specfically at how well E J was running and the yards per carry in the first half . Pay attention to how many carries he got ... .

Then watch Dana decide to throw every down. I was at the game , it was pathetic, 9 sacks . Riola and his Dad decided to move on after that day....

EJ could have carried the team that day.

I'm sure Dana understands the passing game well, but I have never seen him consistently run the ball, make adjustments to the run game (in game) and while I do think he has tried.. it's def not his strong suit. I think the only reason he came here was to help Rhule, as he's smart enough to know that this really isn't the right fit for his offense. I just wish he acted more like a real dude. Enough with all the arrogance, and how he's been coaching for 35 years etc.. and above being questioned.. enough ego Dana.. get some flipping results. Instead of acting like you know it all.. go get some extra training somewhere.. go learn something from someone. In other words.. start taking some GD action and sit your precious ego, and while you're at it, go take a shower and run a comb through your hair for once.

Nah you are just weak. This has nothing to do with anything outside of Husker fans. I know you need to feel the need to be influenced and vindicated from others. That is what makes you a cuck. I’m not mad at anyone. If you just will throw your hands up and parade around saying this program is dead. Have at it. But Husker fans won’t go away.
Influenced and vindicated? WTH does that even mean. LOL silliness.

So doubling down on not providing evidence for your claims and then calling me Julie. Oh, you are a clever man. Or woman. Most likely child.

I don't need to provide evidence that transitive scores are not a reliable predictor in sports. It's very well documented. If anyone is trying to use them to prove their point, (as was the case with @1thomas) it shows me they don't know much about the topic. As such, someone trying to defend them, (you in this case) really doesn't know much about the topic, which has already been proven ad nauseam by many of your blind Rhule devotion posts.

Don’t be a loser. Fans are the only thing keeping NU football alive. Stop being a ***** throwing up your arms and saying it’s dead. Fans should always demand more. And NU fans wills always demand better. No shocker this post comes from you

My Blind Rhule devotion posts? Good luck with that, Bud. You can file them with all your Blind Trump devotion posts.
Since you asked, here is just a small sampling:


You don’t think we were better this year? We had 6 wins and a bowl confirmed before we lost our starting quarterback to a broken leg in a game we were leading with several games to go. Yes we were better this year. No question. Any other stupid comments?

Maybe he won’t be licking his lips as much when he knows he has carrots and green beans waiting for him at home. Hey, I love him so I can joke about him.

Maybe Snow can help with clock management too. Rhule does a lot of things great but clock management has been a big issue in several close losses.

If there is one thing that this lack of portal entries has told us, it is that Rhule clearly hasn’t lost the trust of the team.


Gotta love how we have increased our win total in every year under Rhule, have gotten a lot more media attention, prime time games on peacock, multiple 5 star commits and yet we still have to listen to the know it alls ***** and moan how they knew all along that Rhule was awful, Raiola sucks and they NEVER wanted him, and that we are never going to return to relevance. Some of you root against Nebraska because you’d rather Nebraska lose so you appear correct. It must be winter because half of you Nebraska “fans” are bigger snowflakes than anything we will see all season. “He’s not Cignetti! Why isn’t he Cignetti???!? Wahhhhh!” Good lord, it’s like listening to a bunch of women. Frost killed our program dead. We are on our way back. Enjoy it!

And in case anyone was wondering why this insufferable fvcktard is the way he is, look no further:

Matchups determine outcomes in many games.

When did Nebraska play Baylor, because Frost has only had one HC job when he made it to year 3.
Oh, gosh. So sorry, Tuco

thanks for reminding me that there are absolute idiots on this board who may not understand plain English

Frost’s ‘21 NU team (3rd full season) takes Rhule’s ‘25 team (3rd full season) behind the woodshed

that’s my bad. I should’ve dumbed that post down.

hard to believe Rhule has degraded this program even further from a talent standpoint from where we’d been

Indiana over Iowa 20-15, over Penn State 27-24
Oregon over Penn State 30-24(2ot) and Iowa 18-16.
Apparently PSU and Iowa were capable of some decent ball relative to Indiana and Oregon
The titans of the conference tend to get the best shot of their opponent's season.

End of the day, they still lost, so ...

Sorry I didn't realize it was an unprovable hypothetical. My apologies. Can you provide me the score of the hypothetical game of 2017 UCF and 1984 BYU? I need to place a hypothetical $1,000,000 bet.

Illinois: 63-10
Michigan State: 38-13
UCLA: 56-6
Maryland: 55-10
Wisconsin: 31-7
Purdue: 56-3
Pretty meager "best shots of the year" from some.

That probably is the best shot from your collection of 4 win teams + Illinois (who got Indiana's best shot of the year).

Iowa is insanely well-coached and Penn State is top 10 in pure talent.

Thanks. This started with me responding to MW&C writing the following:

I'm saying
Oregon/Ohio St/Indiana = buzz saw
Pedo St and Iowa? Not so much

And now you're saying:
Iowa is insanely well-coached and Penn State is top 10 in pure talent.

So, if what you said is true, Iowa and PSU must be pretty close to a 'buzz saw' at times. I believe you helped me with my point. Thanks

Enlighten me

Asked and answered.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that maybe your definition of "buzz saw" and mine are two very different things? Or maybe you're actually trying to justify Rhule's November meltdowns as facing really hard opponents, while using transitive scores to try to defend him? I hope for your sake, it's the former.

How can you say Frost's '21 NU team takes Rhule's '25 NU team behind the woodshed?

Frost's '21 team won 3 games (1 BigTen game).
Rhule's '25 team won 7 games (4 BigTen games).

Frost’s ‘21 team was more talented and played an actual schedule

I want to see some chemistry on offense, not excuses
in 83 the red zone meant the end zone


WR blocking, wide open receivers due to the run threat, O linemen who could move (roids). The key was the O line. On some of those runs, the RB wasn’t touched until he was 5 yards downfield and then it was guy reaching. We’ll never see O line domination like that again. The game has changed in the too 50 programs.

man, who let off that stinker in here?

Our Line SHOULD be significantly improved this year.. the last coach? C'mon, how many years was he here and last year was his best product? the line that couldn't protect a 5 star QB that got knocked out of the season.. yeah, I guess that was an all star line-up in '25 :rolleyes:

I’m not betting on it. I think the angst over Donovan’s coaching was over blown. Jimmies and Joes specifically at RT.
I think we have m some more veteran experienced bodies. Which for Oline is huge. The biggest knock against Donovan was we are talking about all these transfers when he brought in highly touted guys that should be stepping into these roles this year. Yet they aren’t ready - that is a huge red flag for the coach who has brought them in to develop them.

If the 2021 Huskers played the 2025 Huskers, the ‘21 team would both be favored and win that game.
But we can agree that the 2025 Huskers were way better than the 2021 Huskers, right? I mean, they had double the wins.

Do wins not matter to you when comparing these things?

When hypothetically comparing 2 teams in an imaginary matchup, all that matters is talent and play style.

Duh.

Haha. You've lost credibility on this one my friend.
records don’t matter in this hypothetical, but what does is the realization that Scott Frost - the worst coach in NU history - built a more talented team in 3 years than the guy we hired specifically for his year 3 successes
