11-29 in the last 40 games he's coached. Great hire

Name one in the power 5.  What CU has done is unprecedented.   Credit where it's due but this is lightning in a bottle that just doesn't happen. 

TCU last year and how many first year coaches take their teams to bowl games? MORE TIME!!!!!

There's an entire season left to play. Rhule has a solid defense in place, and if you put a QB in who doesn't turn it over 3 times a game were in the hunt for the West.

No we don't

Agreed.  Needs time to rebuild with his players 

Like Deion?

Very poorly coached team no accountability. 

This is Carolina Rhule

Rhule is Frost with a better defense 

Is the program folding after this week? Say we lose and go 3-9 this year and in 2 years win 10 games is the program still a joke?

Waaaaay too early to make any sort assessment.  Give it 3 seasons 

Defense and special teams were pretty damn good and Ervin averaged 8 yards a carry. Very disappointed with how we blew the game but there are some semblances of good with this team

Deon Sanders is a fool, the more i watched him after news broke out hey may of been at Nebraska.  All i see is a man who clearly wants his own lifetime NIL deal.  Id like the wins but i have zero want for the circus that would follow that.  Some of you didnt even want what the likes of Urban Meyer would of brought as far as media attention.

He is better at recruiting certain players.

Yeah this is the typical answer I'd expect from our loser fan base. Guess it wasn't a circus when our tight ends coach was fired before fall camp or our transfer tight end is arrested days before kickoff.

TCU defense was pathetic. Got to give Colorado credit for taking advantage though. Our defense looks better than TCUs. Whether our offense is able to score enough to win is still yet to be determined.

Minnesota offense sucked. We don't have 1 guy who can cover Hunter 

Rhule needs to hire more of his friends 

Yes but when your QB is coming out of the huddle locked onto one guy it's not going to matter much who the OC is especially when you have a OLine like ours

“And it begins” - LOL !

 

What’s the O/U for how many games before local sportswriters 100% turn on Rhule & Co.? My guess is 19 games.

Rhule is one of the highest paid coaches in the game and the highest paid employee in the state. He is not above criticism. 

Sims was his buddies QB who ended up getting fired. Satterfield is also his buddy who wasn't very popular with SC fans. Neither looked good last night both were Matt Rhule choices.

Yeah trying too hard. Coach basically benched Grant because of Fumbles then puts him in during a crucial time. Rhule makes a lot of money. He deserves blame for this one.

Complete BS

This team has great leadership and played hard.  If anything, they're trying too hard and ended up "forcing" mistakes.  

 

Nobody was half assing the effort.  
 

It was a messy first game with a ton of new players and a new staff, and they still nearly won.

If you're surprised that a bunch of new players/coaches made some mistakes in their first game, look in the mirror as to the problem, not at the team.

The problem is this first or 20th time this has happened the past several years and many of the guys on this roster were apart of those teams.

Yes. It's a vicious cycle and it's seriously so f****** weird to me that our $72M coach went this route.

 

Not saying that Sims doesn't have potential. But in this game, he objectively played very bad. Like, he was a couple rungs above basically a Wildcat QB.

 

Now maybe he rises above that and turns heads. I could believe it could happen. But there might have been a lot we could have done out of the big sets with Casey at the helm while also mixing Sims in there.

Yup all this talk of our NIL we couldn't have bought a better QB or kept Casey Thompson? This QB was part of the team's that got Rhules friend fired.

Sims reminded me of 2AM, the offensive line is awful, the WRs might be 2019 bad, the defensive front is some dogs, Hartzog is a safety playing CB, Special teams is good.

Can we get to 6 wins? Yeah maybe I think so but this offensive line has GOT to play better in league play.

Hey kid did you see tonight? Sign on the dotted line and you'll be a day 1 starter because our starting tackles are baaaaaad

Please quit with the Osborne stuff and just focus on the basics.

There are "mistakes" and then there are completely dumb idiot moves (done intentionally and incompetently)  that should not only be punished but mocked as well.

Maybe "the help he needs" is to be mocked and derided for doing stupid things, which is the case for pretty much all of us that weren't 5* athletes who were worshiped and given preferential treatment for our entire lives...

We're helping.

Yeah this is a pretty Nebraskan take. Mental health is a very serious thing doesn't excuse what he did but is understandable in context of what he was reportedly going through. 

He isn't getting the hype Riaola got I get that but he very well good be just as good in college. Folks this is a damn good prospect
