Yea, no. Deion was and frankly still is completely unproven at the power 5 level. That team that played for a natty got blown out by the worst margin in the history of college football championship games and also lost a ton of key play players on both sides of the ball. It's one game man.
I hope you used your knee pads. I'm not sure how to judge who a better coach is after exactly one game, but Colorado did have a decent win yesterday. 3-4 playmakers made up for the team's shortcomings.
I don’t care about culture either (as long as everything is legal) — I want WINS. Winning cures everything.
Culture matters for sustained success. You are right that winning cures all, but poor culture makes winning less likely over time. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I would rather build a program of consistent success than one with flash in the pan success. I think Rhule is taking the right approach with holding the players to a certain standard and focusing on 'team over me.'
Much of what the average person thinks “culture” is, is really a by-product of results - and more than anything, it’s primarily an illusion. Intangible and fleeting.
The only thing so far about the Rhule vs Deion debate that resonates deeper than it should for me is the OLine BS. I’ve patiently listened for YEARS about how you can’t rebuild one in less than 143 seasons or whatever the hell the frustrating number is. Yet I watch the CU protection and was jealous. It may have been a sub par d-line, sure. But damn. If it truly can be done that well in 6 months. I don’t know how to go on watching the cess we put on the field in the front 5 year in and year out.
You didn’t miss a thing. Just a bunch of tantrum throwing crybabies who didn’t get the coach they wanted and who thrive on second guessing and hindsight. Some people just want to b!^@h and cast aspersions. The motive is not for the betterment of Husker football even if they claim otherwise. “Fans” who are a cancer in the clubhouse.
You know how in past years. Husker fans would say to themselves. Man that BYU team that took us to the 4th qtr and beat us is going to be a top 25 team by the end of the year, and then by the end of the year they won 4 games? Or pick any other team that "unexpectedly" beat Nebraska over the past 20 years. Yeah, that's CU this year, and TCU is Nebraska.
