How are there still Rhule apologists in our fanbase?

Callahan could get some guys to sign.
John Blake was the lead recruiter. He was elite, but got into big trouble at North Carolina. I have always wondered how close we were to being in trouble during the time he was here. He had a top 10 class that included Lucky and Suh. Some real dudes. But even in that draft class, the QB's were a bust. So you never know.

there are so many idiots in our fan base my God
Going back to when Frost took over. Here is a breakdown of how the seasons went until Rhule took over:

2018-19 season:
IU: 5-7
NU: 4-8

2019-20 season:
IU: 8-5
NU: 5-7

2020-2021 season:
IU: 6-2
NU: 3-5

2021-22 season:
IU: 2-10
NU: 3-9

2022-23 season:
IU: 4-8
NU: 4-8

Indiana: 25-32
Nebraska: 21-36

Head-to-Head: 1-1

Seems to me one team was a little better during that time frame with IU experiencing two winning season and the Huskers with zero. Try not to move the goalpost too much in your rebuttal.

2018!

LOL!!!!

Indiana hadn’t had a guy drafted since April of 2022 (2021 team) prior to Cig’s arrival. They were putrid.

Was Frost not the head coach of the 2018-19 season? I'm confused at what you're laughing at.
You said we were “probably in far worse shape” than Indiana when Rhule took over

In the 2 years prior to the Preacher arriving, we won more games and had more 2nd rounders (2) than IU had total players drafted (0)

This is such an idiotic attempt to spin Rhule being absolute trash I can’t help but laugh

The facts are what they are. In the years under Frost, Indiana was a better football program. You can try to spin it all you want, but when it comes down to it, Indiana had the better record and it had 2 more winning seasons in that time span. Time for you to sit this one out sunshine.

The difference there is Mike Riley took over a team that went 9-3 in Bo's last season and subsequently made 2 bowl game appearances his first two years. Matt Rhule, however, took over a team that went 3-9 in Frosts last FULL season. This team was completely DEAD and probably in far worse shape than what Indiana was in.
this is just an excuse.. remember Bo was fired really because of his attitude, not the performance of the team. Riley and Scott were fired for their actual performance. Matt is also going to be fired for his performance, unless he leaves first.

here

I mistyped since I read this yesterday - it’s 8 players total, not 8%

basically 1 in 5 guys Rhule has brought in in 3 years is even a P4 football player after they hit the open market again


Context:

The national rate of P4 to P4 transfers is 42%

more than double Rhule’s

is it 2027 yet?

Makes me appreciate Bo more.
