Rhule has signed a two-year extension
- Thread starter Bigred2467
- Start date
I would like to see your synopsis of āthe reality of power 4 college footballā.
thanks in advance
All these ADs are the same arenāt they. Pederson, Eichorst, Moos, Alberts, Dannenā¦ā¦ā¦. New boss same as the old boss.I see you Bill Moos!
Literally just a qualified OL coach whoās run an OL room in FBS would be a gigantic step toward the light.
Donovan should have been fired after the Minnesota game. That change is an absolute must after the season. Should have been done by now.
And you're the guy accusing me of "spin." That's freaking hilarious.
Matt Rhule's agent must read absolute nonsense like this and feel like he's taking candy from a baby.
Hey man, don't ask the Johnny Superfans to provide facts. They're busy scolding the big meanies.
Maybe he will āearnā his accelerators via the CFP expanding to 32 or 64 teams?
I do find it funny (isnāt it ironic?) most everyone ITT predicted a massive Year Three leap and is now just ignoring the fact weāre going 7-6 or so again.
Speaking of the realities of todayās college football, is there a P4 coach whoās done less with the portal than our own .500 head man?
Itās Year 3 and half our starters are Frostās leftovers.
I would rather spend the money on dudes that can play guard and tackle at a high level.
I'm sure there are Power 4 coaches who've done less. But I doubt that any of them are laughing all the way to the bank today.
$15 million would pay the 1st year salary of the next coach.
For some reason Rhule doesn't get any credit for bringing in the top dlineman in 2024 class and a top 10 player. Nwaneri was almost too quiet about his recruitment. He didn't generate the hype he deserved. Getting a redshirt freshman of his caliber was a huge get. And then they actually got him to produce.
Yeah but how does your O-line get worse in year 3? And the past years lines weren't much better. And this is coming from someone who appreciates what Rhule has done. But also acknowledges that SF was the second worst coach in program history and that Rhule so far has only brought the pendulum to average.
The bigger buyout is nice. But let's not pretend 15 millions is stopping anyone these days. Let's not act like it's 70 million.
Donovan and Dana? You do realize the OC designs the game plan and line schemes that go with it right? That debacle falls squarely on Danaā¦.,and Iām a Dana fan.
You must be forgetting the previous 3 years of Donovanās oline coaching. Sure there is plenty of blame to spread around but when there is a 2-3 man rush and still getting to DR. That is on the oline coaching. The technique is disgusting.
Come on dingle. If youāre going to play that way, then the debacle falls on Rhule for hiring both Donovan and Dana.
Donnie is the problem. He canāt keep hiding behind the OC. His talent sucks. The push sucks. He hasnāt recruited well. Hence 4 years in and he doesnāt have a starter on O-Line that he recruited out of HS
100% Agree. He needs to address the line play on both sides of the ball, but things are stabilizing and moving in the right direction. A win this weekend and momentum continues to build and talk of winning out will show up. Lose and talk of losing out with be all over. Unfortunately the loudest people on these boards tend to act in that fashion.
I see you Roger Daltrey!
I love that song and those lyrics (Meet the new bossā¦Same as the old boss)
But seriously, it could be to gauge MRās commitment to Nebraska AND to make it costly for any school to buy Nebraska out. I think continuity is needed. Hopefully this continuity will result in steady improvement.
My thinking is that Holgerson is still getting familiarized with B1G defenses and is working through it.
I would have rather had him run his real offense. Would help cover the deficiencies of the OL too because the ball comes out faster.
I said before the season weād go either 7-6 or 8-5 with another Who Cares Bowl appearance.
Right on track.
Havenāt heard his name much lately
Hasnāt recorded a sack in a month
Played well against MSU and has kind of disappeared
Glad it's only 2 years, feared it would be longer. Hopefully they'll put aside a large portion of the private equity infusion just in case it doesn't work out 2-3 years from now, so it doesn't cripple the athletic department if a change is needed. He's done 'fine' to this point but being paid as 'elite' so that should be what we expect from all aspects of the program going forward. Least there is clarity. Now go win this weekend!
So, just make sure those dudes are already well trained and won't need to learn a damn thing going forward? Cause that's what's gonna happen once they get here with Uncle Donnie in the room.
Weāre paying Rhule millions of dollars to coach this team and to make assistant decisions. Interestingly we have a back with the most yards of any back weāve had in a while. We also have a QB holding the ball on average OVER 4 Seconds, isnāt a run threat and is still completing about 75% of his passes. I donāt know what the problem was at Minnesota other than Dana losing his mind with his play calling. Ultimately Dana and Matt have to answer for the O line performance but with EJās success the O line is in fact doing something right.
I believe weāre short a couple of dudes. One on each side. Corc performed better than I expected when forced in to service. Heās #3 at that spot on the depth chart.
We need Suh to join the staff and get us some DT players!
You do realize we are 13th in team rushing in the B1G right? So I wouldnāt go bragging about that mighty O-Line rushing attack too much. We have a good back, not a good line. Hence 13th in the league
13th in team rushing. Given up a million sacks but itās not Donnieās fault. Come on man. Itās year 4. Whatās it going to take?

I can only imagine how this will look next year with Oregon, tOSU, Indiana, Illinois, Washington etc on the schedule
Smart to do it now too before we lose our last 4 games in a row

These AD's get tricked into these stupid deals. I really don't care about the money at all but this weird idea that Rhule was/might be going anywhere...who cares?
He is a nice guy and does good pressers and stuff but when it comes to coaching he is just a regular .500ish coach.
No ****. This amazing 7 win season followed by a sweet 6 win season, teams would have been lining up to grab Rhule.
