Soft Culture = Beta Team

When I hear a recruit want to come to Nebraska because it is “so much like a family” that immediately tells me they are not tough. It feels soft and makes it look like they need to be coddled. That’s a soft culture. We need a hard ass. Pelini had it, sans the thin skin, anger management issues. Riley was Rhule-like without the charisma. Frost was lazy and drunk on being worshipped by the fanbase. Rhule spends too much time being “the fun guy” and making/being on podcasts. I don’t think Saban was a nice guy and “fun” as a head coach? Rhule needs to be less worried about being the cool, fun guy and more on being a hard ass with high expectation. If expectations aren’t met, then players get booted from the team. Players who can’t handle the heat and want to “test the portal”?. Bye! It’s time to kick some ass and commit war crimes on the field. No more talk, just kick someone’s ass.

Didn’t know you spent so much time with Rhule. Can you give us some more behind the scenes info?

Ya I think if Rhule was more of jerk we would have controlled the LOS better. That was the difference, Rufus. 😐

Family isn't soft. The only people in the world that I would fight to the death for would be my family. The problem is that I would in fact die if I was fighting someone that was bigger, faster, stronger, and more skilled than me.

Who uses the term “beta” and expects to be taken seriously by people who can read above the sixth grade level?

Every post you make is dumber than the previous. It’s impressive, actually.

That happens when the other players are bigger, stronger, and quicker. Need to change that.

What I don't get is all the talk on how tough we were under Pelini (which must correlate to blocking and stopping the run :)). After Suh left we gave up 500 yards rushing per game to wisc and usually lost two 30+ point games a year.

I so disagree. Family - biological or just those who chose to band together to care for one another has everything to do with all that is noble about humanity. It is what matters most in life.

Let's not forget that the team we just played was from the recruiting class right after Michigan won a Natty. That team was LOADED with talent. Players of that caliber want to play for a winning program, I'm guessing they don't care as much about the "family culture". The only way to build a winning culture is by winning, which we're building year by year.
