I think it is both

but I believe the B1G West takes a lot of flack, and is better than many perceive it to be because of the style of football.

I'm truly VERY interested to see how USC, UCLA, Oregon, and Wash fair the next couple of seasons. I really believe all four of those teams will have a rough time transitioning to the style of play in the B1G, weather, etc.

To me these guys should be considered RJr. as that is really what they are right now. They would be RSr. next year and then can use the COVID year in 2025. I don’t see Rhule running off productive RSr.’s like Hutmacher.

I was gonna say I wouldn't mind seeing Nash around for another year.

A presence like that is always gonna make any defense better... I think he gets drafted late, maybe even middle rounds if he puts together some monster games

Was on track to be a top Heisman contender...

... Then I took an arrow to the knee.

Tech 9 is not main stream lol 

I second this,

Plus, didn't tech-9 peak like a decade or two ago? his most popular song was released in '06, no?

If you're gonna go modern (rap); go modern.

A-Grant will end the season with over 1,500 yards rushing... count on it 

Coach Satt's voice sounds similar to former president Bill Clinton's voice. Especially when they say "ughhh"

just on observation.

O/U Sims has 2.5 total TDs to his name this Saturday?

I say over

TCU didn't look as aggressive as they usually do.

I think they knew they knew they were outgunned and it showed in the way they played.

Regardless of the Defensive front we run - we CANNOT be outsized/outmanned on the LOS. Just can't win like that; but thankfully Rhule seems to be aware of this... He even mentioned he likes quick, athletic lineman; but ultimately, we need big scary guys up front.

big, scary, AND athletic is the ideal tho

Considering where we were at, and the pieces he has added thus far, I want to give an A...

However; Colorado was in an ever worse spot, and Deion has put together a class that is almost unbelievable with all things considered.

Since Deion is the standard for an A thus far, Coach Rhule gets a solid B...

However, we are only a portion into the "semester", and "final grades" can't be made out until mid/late 2023 football season, in all honesty

Any idea on who Nebraska would or is trying to consider for the position?? Haven't heard any names on trying to fill the qb coach position or the wr position other then Joe Dailey.

Hearing rumors that Peyton Manning loves Omaha so much he's (potentially) willing to be QB coach at Lincoln, just to be close to his favorite city.

Just a rumor

Iowa also lost a zillion WRs. And they still have Brian Turd Ferentz lmao. Guess people forgot that a certain Michigan transfer couldn’t throw the ball more than 10 yards. Give me a break. Iowa has been falling behind. They are gonna have to modernize soon or they will be toast. 

Brian "The Turd" Ferentz  I LOVE it

I've said this in other threads, but the transfer portal also makes it way, WAY easier to lose talent. And players that transfer in and are good are usually only here for a year, which means we're constantly rebuilding. I think S&C takes more than 1 off-season to really make a big difference.

 

But most of all we need to overhaul both lines, which is hard to do from transfers and just takes time. I think it'll be a struggle to win 3 games next year.

Not gonna lie... I'm going to be pissed if Colorado overhauls their lines in 1 season

Awwww

The transfer portal makes it waaaaay, WAY easier to snatch talent... Our NIL stuff makes us an attractive spot (I've heard, but IDK, tbh)...

AND, our new S&C coach is Jacked to the gills, so I expect major turn around in trench play (specifically, endurance... energy seemed to be zapped by the second half EVERY game); this should significantly improve, and significantly improve second half play.

I would be disappointed with anything less than 5 wins,

Expect 6 wins

Realistically Hopeful for 8 win season

Something to think about...

Rhule has implied we need to get better/tougher in the trenches;

Hires two young, energetic, but relatively inexperienced guys to coach the trenches...

I got a feeling Rhule, OC, and future DC will have a big hand in coaching the lines; meanwhile, Dom & Pot Roast are groomed into the line coaches that Rhule invisions them to be.

just a thought tho

Considering we gots a 4-8 football team, I actually think Rhule would have a harder time NOT upgrading this team through the portal.

Minimal effort from the staff (which has a history of solid recruiting, I think) should see an immediate upgrade in talent.

Which is funny, because each week we would see fans on this board going with "If Mickey can lead NU to a win this week, I think Trev should name him the full-time head coach" and then they would say the same thing, from week to week, as the losses kept on mounting.

Yeah, but he beat Iowa at the end, remember?

yes?

YES!!!

orange chicken with chow mein...

That's what Trev has decided on.

Overheard him at Panda 

...

He's not Rhuling out the Beef-n-Broccoli, tho

I still think Tom Osborne in his prime could beat Saban in his prime.      I'm not bias.  I'm not bias.  I'm not bias.  

Like in a fight?

Saban's a pretty small guy... I think Prime Dr. Tom TROUNCES Nick.

Flying knee KO in the 1st is my prediction

OK Everyone - who do you think in your gut Trev will selection as HC?

 I'm not asking who you want it to be but who do you think Trev will ultimately pick?

One of the options is  - A surprise coach that we haven't discussed.

 

 

Me:  I'm going to drink the kool-aide and go all in on Matt Rhule.     I know we have a flavor of the week going on here for some time.  But there seems to be a lot of media play on Rhule this time around.   So that is who I think Trev will hire.  He wasn't my first pick, but I'd be happy with him. 

 

 

Note: This post is made with the purpose of getting us to 800 posts on this thread by the time Trev announces. 

 

The Rhule rumors got me thinking it's him... Rumors haven't been this hot for anyone else.

However, a week ago I was 60% sure it would be Kiffin... If he beat Alabama, it would have went down to nearly 0%; but since he lost (and will likely not win the SEC West) I felt there was a better chance that he dips.

Callahan was a much better coach then most believe. 

He's actually built some monster O-Lines in the NFL

good (O-line ) coach

not a good HEAD coach

16 Team Playoff... F@ck it

Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.  Teams who recover the most fumbles usually have the most guys around the football.  That's preparation.  

I remember when we were told our defense would 'gang tackle' and swarm to the football/ball-carrier...

LOL
