Would I fire an agent that made me more money??
Rhule interview …
- Thread starter RBigredMax1
- Start date
“Then goes on to say that we are playing 6 rated teams next year and coming to Nebraska you have a chance to play the best! Put some stuff on top tape against the best”
This quote is what upsets me the most. I can go to any school in the big ten or sec and face ranked teams. That doesn’t make Nebraska special. Notice how he doesn’t mention being able to beat ranked teams. It’s like saying “Hey we will get our *** kicked by six ranked teams but at least it will be televised so people can see you get your *** kicked!”

There is no Rhule expense to justify. Even if it was from the same pot, which it isn't, the fact that they didn't spend what you wanted them to spend on players had no direct connection to Rhule's contract extension. Which is what you claimed.
You can go to another board you know? There are places that are all rainbows and sunshine, which is what you seem to be wanting.
Or, maybe take your own advice and post some things about actual football instead of spending all your time trying to be the posting police and telling posters what they should and shouldn't post about.
Or, possibly you could look in the mirror and realize that when things suck, fan bases are going to complain and there's nothing you can do about it. Posting the same thing over and over isn't going to change that fact. Sound familiar?
It's the offseason, Rhule continues to make misstep after misstep after misstep. Fans are getting rightfully frustrated and want to b*tch about it. Deal with it. As soon as your boy Rhule gives us something to celebrate, the VAST majority of us will happily discuss it.
or you can ignore me. and **** off
Perfect response from someone who's lost the argument. Again.
With each post, you make it increasingly difficult to underestimate you.
Nope, again just ignore, it is the same argument you have with the exception that you want me to ignore your constant bitching and moaning.
Yep. Only thing missing from that quote was
"For example we just played Penn State on Nov 22. That's correct. Pennsylvania State. The best of the best, and we played them. Really not too long ago. Our players got to play Penn State. At State College. And we got to witness a bunch of PSU program records fall that very night. It was insane. My goosebumps still haven't gone away. Come here and you can be part of that. Might get to see Melvin Gordon's records fall in person, or see Ohio State set a new scoring record. Who knows what the future holds and the various program histories you'll get to be part of?
But back to the topic at hand, can you imagine stepping onto the field at State College and playing football there? You can be on the field there. Your parents will be able to film you competing there. If you come here, and stick around long enough, you, too, can play against them. They're here in '28.-- but get this -- we will almost certainly get to go back there in '29. No, I'm not kidding. We get to go back there.
I already have the hat picked out I'm wearing that day, it's a custom Nittany blue on the back and Husker red on the front. You'd think you wouldn't be able to see that blue, but when you turn it around........ man does it pop. What's that? Yeah, I'll absolutely still be here in '29. I'm under contract until '32 and these dudes aren't going to pony up to buy me out."
I basically got off the Rhule train after the Minnesota game this year. Do I think there is any reasonable chance he can turn the program into a top 25 team? No I do not. The interview was not a good look for him. He has been here 3 years. He owns it all. But in very short order we have now gone from "We have the money now to get the best players" to "we have no money for a RB " . I guess my question is, did we get the best players? A few like Hawthorn look interesting. I guess time will tell.
The games aren’t even played yet, everyone was expecting Indiana to blow out Miami and it didn’t happen, Miami was close to pulling out a win. let the season play out first before making a judgement, I Know the schedule looks daunting but stranger things have happened
Yea guys, watching the team with the big red N on their helmets get their *** kicked while their coach is out of his element is supposed to be fun!
Hate to be "that guy" but let me be him lol. HCMR is to the point with a large majority of the fans really DGAF what he "says". They are tired of the speeches,reasons, or excuses (depending on which side of the fence you are on). They don't want to hear about the labor pains...show them the baby.
I
As someone who hasn't decided one way or the other yet I smile at some of the stuff he says and cringe at some other stuff. But end of the day it'll come down to winning games for me. I'm past him winning or losing the interview or press conference. Its ro the point that his W/L record will stand on its on merits. Does he win enough to keep his job is an that will matter now.
Holla
he could turn it around to be better than this year with just above average coaching.....
let's see what these new guys can cook up
it sure as hell isn't coming from backwards cap Matt
True, but MR will still be using all his 2nd half TOs in the 3rd Q.
“I think Matt’s working hard,” Tom Osborne said. “He inherited a situation that was less than ideal, and I think he’s making some progress. He’s certainly a good communicator, and I wish him well. He’s made quite a few changes on his coaching staff, and hopefully that will all work out.”

Or find a different team. IF you’re posting on a free board something tells me the AD won’t miss your donations.
And that my friend is where the vast majority of Husker fans are. Just win. The noise doesn’t matter. For the media, we don’t need your opinions Just give us the facts you can find regarding players etc. Opinions are mostly meaningless. Just win.

Games are lost in the 3rd quarter as well. I don't understand this line of thinking. Yes it is optimal to have 3 TOs for the last 5 minutes of a game. But there are times when taking a TO saves a drive in the 3rd quarter as well. Or a defensive TO that saves a bad matchup and a probable TD. Use the TO when you need to. Basketball coaches use TOs to slow momentum all the time at any time during the game. It keeps a 7 point game from becoming 20.
The point remains, MR isn't a good in game manager.
perfectly stated
This is the obvious challenge of the off-season after a horrible finish. We don’t have football happening, so we are left to critique the head coach when he speaks. And like you said, many of us are at the place where we don’t care too much about what he says anymore. It’s all about the W‘s, the improvement and development. Yet, we are left discussing his personality, his speeches, etc..
Could be a long 7-8 months.
So, just to be clear, are you defending Rhule’s game management abilities? Or are you just stating the obvious in that there are one off times when using a TO in the 3rd is actually a good move?
if they have the money to buy out rhule and the power to get a better coach, I'm all in..till then it's bitchin in the wind
There are obviously time when you need to use a timeout. Sitting on your couch and believing you know exactly what is going on doesn't always make it bad game management. Because you believe Rhule sucks, in your mind it is always when a time out is called in the 3rd or 1st quarter it is bad game mangement.
I know I shouldn’t look at it this way, but the only thing that gives me the slightest bit of joy with Rhule is that he is under immense pressure and riddled with anxiety. This man wants to be loved, but what he’s experiencing now is simply going to continue to get worse.
He is making millions, but that won’t buy him any peace of mind when he’s going to spend the next 2 to 3 years getting embarrassed on Saturdays, then get fired, then go the way of most every other past Nebraska coach – to some lower level program.
These guys have egos and millions of dollars will not satisfy them – they want to be known for something. His “program turn around” myth will be an ancient history the time he packs his bags out of Nebraska and there will be no Hall of Fame or any other honors for him to look forward OR cling to from the past.
Rhule will never coach against once he is drummed out of Lincoln. He is being outed as a total fraud, a complete football incompetent, but has amassed generational wealth in the process.
He's done.
I take no joy in watching Rhule creep back to the warning track with the wind blowing out. Though you make an excellent point about how this goes. We've seen this before with Callahan, Pelini, Frost. He'd love a positive offramp, but he's square in the middle of the fishbowl. Much as I'd love to see a continued climb, I can see where we will probably be in two years, because I've seen it three times in 20 years.
next year should be a lil better because we won't have a statue at qb..and we will have a 205lbs. back with 4.3 speed.
but 27 will be a real good year...probabaly 9-10 wins..seeing the team will be about half seniors...and I think rhule was correct when he told paul finebahm the big was the best conferance..and would need 4 play off spots minimum..

So you are, in fact, defending Rhule’s abilities as a game manager? Just to clarify.
Timeouts are for:
1. The offense at the end of the half/game.
2. Defense at the end of the game in a key stop situation and/or to protect clock for the offense to have a final chance.
3. The ability to challenge.
Any other time is a breakdown. This is where Matt Rhule lives.
1. The offense at the end of the half/game.
2. Defense at the end of the game in a key stop situation and/or to protect clock for the offense to have a final chance.

I am in fact telling you that there are times when you need to call a timeout in the first or third quarter. When that happens, it is not always bad game management. However, you and others act as though it is always bad game management. And complain every time a timeout is called because you believe you know what is going on in the huddle, in the booth, or wherever.
But what are we actually seeing from HCMR? Its ALWAYS in the middle of the field, problem with getting the play or players in, some discipline or execution issue. He ***** up and has to burn his timeouts.
Thinking on it now, I believe i can recall more than one situation where NU had to call timeout after change of possession or the start of a quarter/half before they could even run one damn play.
