Rhule fires DL coach Bradden

[oldjar07]

Dowdell was on a milk carton in terms of news out of spring ball in 2024 and didn't really pop until into fall camp. I remember being a bit surprised that he was starting. So there were things for him to get up to speed on before he was going to get the reps he obviously got. I'm seeing a pattern on the board. The role of a position coach in terms of the success of a player is purely based on what the poster thinks of the coach.
I'm sure the coaches are looking at what's accruing in the portal as far as RB talent. But Rhule, when asked about Mozee and Nelson, does nothing but exude confidence in them being ready to play. I guess we get to see if that confidence is misplaced.

Fake news again. There were a lot of people on this board high on Dowdell from the start.

Dowdell was a true freshman at Oregon. How many times does this need to be emphasized? Any amount of carries as a true freshman is impressive and demonstrates that the coaches have trust and see potential in you.

Barthel is mediocre at best and that has been demonstrated quite plainly in both his coaching and recruiting efforts. Forget even individual performances, and look at the team rushing performances (excluding Haarberg) since he has been here. It hasn't been impressive.

So EJ's performance isn't impressive. Oh wait, that was all Dana Holgerson. Barthel had nothing to do with that.

They’ve got some talent. They’re not Singleton or Krayton from PSU. People act like it’s expected for a losing program to be able to attract 5 star RBs out of high school. Wrong. We have been a loser for a decade. IF we have a decent year next year maybe we’ll be happier with our high school recruiting in the early signing period.

We have to get the ball rolling downhill again.

Considering Holgerson forced him to start while Barthel had him 3rd string, yes I give DH much more credit in Emmett's success.

Doesn't really matter how many times you say it. The average score of the games he played in was 55-10. In the 5 games that were decided by 14 or less, he had 0 carries. Not arguing for or against Barthel, just this particular reasoning.

The success of Dowdell and EJ over the past couple of years should get better recruits kicking the tires.

Dowdell already looked extremely impressive in his senior film and even in his limited time at Oregon. And a true freshman getting any playing time is significant. Barthel has nothing to do with Dowdell or EJ's talent level.

And all you have to say is "there are a number of coaches who could do a better job than Barthel". Well if that's true, then we should be canning Barthel and then bringing one of those coaches into Lincoln. I don't see why there's the need to defend mediocre or lesser coaches on this staff. It takes winning coaches to produce winning results. And especially for a program that was once known as RB U, it's cowardly to settle for mediocre results.

You keep acting like Oregon is RB U and they are far from it. Just look at this year as an example, their top back has 700 yards and is a transfer from Western Kentucky.

I like Rhule. I really do. But he just said Donovan Raiola is one of the best oline coaches out there but it wasn’t the right fit. I no longer listen to his opinion on players and coaches. He's from NYC. He likes to talk.

 

[Arf_man]

Team rushing offense was 10th in the conference this year, and 11th last year. Definition of mediocre.

And that's the running backs coaches fault how? Maybe that's why the O-line coach got fired. Anyway, for the reason I stated above, I'll look forward to all of the pitchfork carrying arguments until halftime next year.

@HBK4life_rivals100467 what's the word??

Just rumors right now.

Wilson says 60% he joins Nebraska. He’s the new chip brown

 

[Cjlemke21]

Winning games and not getting absolutely embarrassed pleases the fan base.

Already addressed, and he is winning at a higher clip than anyone after BoPo… how quick yall forget these things

Wilson is typically right about with content he puts out. It’s just that he steals all of it from other people.

Under it depending on how late it is. Probably prepping for a zoom call.

Agreed and kinda addressed in a previous statement as well… we’re not where we want to be, but again as stated earlier, the arrow is trending upwards if even slightly… I mean we can keep going through the exercise of futility and hope we find the next Cignetti but what’s the odds of our next hire being that?
