if the standard is you have to be a cignetti or get fired there is only 1 team to root for

It is one thing if the asst coaches are leaving on their own for better gigs...

But rhule is hiring guys that he has to fire.

Isnt it starting to feel familiar though? It like I know how’s it going to end. I hope not. I hope there’s a plot twist

I have no idea the % but I am guessing that 90% of coaches that get hired, get fired. 10% leave for a better job or retire.

Rhule will more than likely get fired at NU.

I think Rhule started off by hiring wrong guys. Has fired some, rehired poorly and fired some again. I also feel like there are some that still need to be shown the door.

I agree and I agree.

Should have been 9. Shoulda, woulda, coulda, but didn'ta.

Some of Rhule’s hires haven’t worked out but you can’t really call them wrong. The only one I haven’t cared about is Satt at OC.

I have questions about him still on staff as well as Thomas (has Dylan improved or regressed) and Barthel. If not for Dana, EJ would not have been here for his AA run and we still year 3, have no RB 2. Unsure what he does tbh. Other than been with Rhule. And then Teasely being named run game coordinator...Not a fan of those guys at all.

Barthel is a huge reason Trae Taylor and a couple others are comitted.

It’s hard to say that we don’t have a number 2 or 3 on the roster if they never get a chance. That is on Dana. They wanted to feed EJ all season long to keep him happy and that is what happened.

I do t remember EJ being a part of the game plan until after DYlan went down. Makes me wonder if Holg was under orders to only focus on Dylan’s strengths.

There were a couple of games that EJ got a lot of work. But it was inconsistent.

Also, it sounds like Dylan checked or choose to pass on plays that were called runs or RPOs.

Honest question - did you watch Nebraska football this year?

I forget the game where EJ “broke out” and Dana said he should’ve been using EJ 2 weeks before.

I can’t speak to who recruits who so I’ll defer to you as being correct. But what good does it do to be a great recruiter if you don’t develop your group. Guys best year is year one because you won’t be coached up.

He had 175 caries for 1,002 rushing yards, 10 TDs, and 33 catches for for 197 yards in the 9 games until Dylan was out.

Averages of 19.4 caries per game, 111 ypg, 3.6 catches per game, 22 receiving yards per game.

After Dylan was hurt, with a true freshman quarterback (no crap you would change the offensive scheme to rely more on your veteran star RB and less on your young green quarterback), the averages were 25.3 carries per game, 149 ypg, 4.3 catches per game, 57 receiving yards per game.

His numbers went up because of course they did, but "I don't remember EJ being a part of the game plan" is an insane take and you should get your eyes checked.



Also, in regards to Rhule's comments, he was answering in the context of being asked about coaching the D Line for the bowl game, explaining that he hasn't felt able to do much of the actual football coaching stuff so far because he's been capped on bandwidth in a CEO role. I get that people will get triggered thinking he's just like Frost blaming the people before him, and maybe he is, or maybe he's just describing the reality of where we were, significantly behind in NIL, behind in facilities, behind in administrative clarity, behind in staffing and support roles and resources. Does anyone care to argue that those things weren't true?

Here's Dana's comment about the use of EJ. Take it for what it's worth. This was prior to USC, but multiple games in. Comments from OC DH
