Matt Rhule, Mike Riley part deux

I'll say this, as an outsider with no bias, I'd be willing to give rhule more of a grace period than riley.

 

[Micheal]

Soon as Grant fumbled we all knew it was over. No doubt about it. 

 

[Undone]

You sure it wasn't the 4 turnovers?

No, I'm not.

I have to go get another beer.

Ya'll are overreacting placing this on Rhule/Coaches.

Sure, they share some blame. But the vast majority can be credited to our QB throwing 2 inexcusable pics and our first string back fumbling late in the game.  Simply cannot have team leaders make blunders like this.  

Anthony Grant isn't the 1st string RB.... he's not because he's had fumble issues all spring. He's listed as the #3 back on the depth chart and what's he do.....FUMBLES.....no s#!t?!

Tired of the refs not calling false starts on Minnesota 3/4 of the game. That touchdown wouldn't have happened in their jerseys were white. 

Or holds??

New regime, same identity: dumb football.

- Four turnovers.

- No points on a drive where we're on the 1-yard line.

- Lose in a typical Riley/Frost finish (i.e., tie game late in the fourth where we have the ball.... 90% of teams win the game with this situation).

Dumbest team in the FBS of the past decade, and apparently going forward.

Sims is not it in my opinion.  I tried to think he would be better than the first time i saw him in GT but he's worse, he only threw 2 INT's that game.

He was not good at Tech and looks worse here.   Why the f$&& can a Nebraska QB just not turn the ball over?   Like,  maybe just one year please.   Sims sucks, Purdy played awful last year and until this team has a competent QB, the team with not have a winning season.  Simple as that.

This. Rhule actually has football smarts. Unfortunately Satterfield hasn't been able to play NCAA 14 successfully ever.

What I’m hoping for is that Rhule sh*ts the bed so egregiously that we find a coach, and maybe we can get somebody that knows how to win a f*ckin’ football game 

 

[Terrabus]

Once again we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. But that's the lingering old culture. It's going to take time. These things are hard to change but they can change. I have confidence. And I have faith. Yes this sucks but it's not the end. 

 

[Huskerfollower4life]

I wonder if we would have made the same mistakes if we would have hired Urban Meyer instead of Rhule.  Just saying.

Lol also crazy story, from Alabama, Riley was a family member of a guy I played hs fb with 

 

[Rich N]

Or holds?? 

Seriously? Perhaps you missed our guy completely running over a receiver and no call. Blaming officials constantly is a fools errand.

Yes that $66M in guaranteed money makes what you just said something to really hope for.
