I don't know that I would use the Fiesta Bowl to support the 3-3-5. While TCU has made some plays Michigan has 38 points on em with almost a whole quarter left.

I agree and my hopes are also high. I just thought it was funny that you were keeping expectations in check and seeing the playoffs in 2 or 3 years. Nothing wrong with that. That’s what fans are supposed to do. Just because we’ve sucked for so long is no reason to forever give up all hope.

I'm happy to sign up for the tutorial.

Outside of bringing back nationally recognized Husker heroes as Athletic Director and Head Coach and throwing s#!tloads of money at them, where did this administration go wrong? 

I wasn't specifically referring to Green. Were you? I haven't heard much negative about Green's tenure in respect to the football program or sports as a whole.

Funny how the chancellor of a large and complex university system is judged by his football program. 

Likely not the only thing he's judged on, but if you're having an impact on the program, especially a negative one...

What are your expectations when you’re not trying to keep them in check? 

Okay. Maybe "expectation" was the wrong word choice. Maybe "excitement" or "hopes" would've been better terms.

But I'll own it, and throw it back... We've read about and seen Rhule's program development (Temple and Baylor) , and based on the players he's so far landed in a month on the job, why would you not have an expectation that he can resurrect this program in short order? 

short order = before season 4

resurrection = 9+ wins

Good job keeping those expectations in check   Glad to see you’re holding off til year 2 or 3 for the playoff appearance 

If he can develop like we've all read about and continue to recruit at this level+, I don't think its too far-fetched to believe he can put a top 12 team out there by year 3.

This was me 40 years ago.

While I was glad Alberts hired Rhule, I didn't have the same level of excitement like when Frost was hired. 

However, after reading and listening to the sound bites, and now seeing how his recruiting class panned out (plus the transfers), I'm probably more convinced than I should be at this point that we are going to see a legit resurrection of this program. I just need to keep my expectations in check for next season; would not be surprised if this is a playoff team in year 3 (maybe 2?).

Geez I hate twitter. LOL

What is that supposed to mean? Is he sitting on the toilet thinking? Is he thinking of a brunette instead of blonde?

Express what you mean, and mean what you express.

When he signs, then we will know where he is going.

"No s#!t" doesnt quite grasp how little I gleaned from this post. LOL

People b!^@h and moan that the “regular season doesn’t matter” with an expanded playoff.

 

Well giving conference champs a 1st round bye makes the regular season matter.

"Doesn't matter" is hyperbole, yet it will dramatically reduce any drama for most early and midseason games, and only add back some of that drama in some additional later season games.

The conversation changes from "Holy s#!t! Alabama is going to miss the playoff" after losing to Tennessee, to "Eh. I guess Alabama wont get a first round bye".

I very much doubt we will be running a 3-3-5 in the big ten 

Best not. We saw how well that worked with Rich Rod.

Would think the NIL initiatives would kick in to high gear if there's want to keep of some of these players. Supposedly, NU boosters have one of the best initiatives in the country.

Despite Whipple's inclinations, I think they'd have run the football more if they could have been successful doing it. Most games, there wasn't a point. And the times they were dogma about running, 4th quarter leads, it was generally the wrong decision based on expected result.

1620 stating that Fickell interviewed with Wisconsin the Saturday which Wisconsin played at Iowa and Nebraska was playing at Michigan.  This was a week after NU hosted Minnesota, and rumors are that Rhule and his wife were in Lincoln for that NU-Minnesota game(or the couple days after)

I believe it. Heck, there was speculation that Rhule was a top choice for Huskers before he was even fired.

And means that he gets all of his original pay, yes?

Correct, unless some other agreement is reached.

Which all means that he'll be bought out of his contract if not retained (or contract revised).

Sweet!

Really just depends how Mickey handled the locker room before and what type of person he really is.  If he stays and just tries to undermine Rhule then yeah that could divide the locker room.  But how lame do these kids have to be to say "I'm not gonna try hard for the new coach because I like Mickey"?  It's not Rhule's fault Mickey didn't get the job. If he keeps Mickey and it was his decision to keep him then you would think the players would appreciate that.  

And it would also be up to Mickey to be a professional and lead instead of divide. Mickey seems like a pro.

^^^^ Don't feed trolls.

How so?  If Fickel would go to Wisconsin he could probably be sold on Nebraska.  If Fickel is going to beat Rhule on a regular basis theres no reason for either to be around.  Winning the west is fairly easy, if you cant do it move on 

1. If Fickel's results turn out to be better, doesn't mean Trev should be fired (even if Rhule does't work out).

2. Why even "worry" about this? Its one thing to pose a discussion. Quite the other to gaslight.

3. The West means nothing after next season.

If the NE/WI coaching hires were reversed we'd have the exact same posts on message boards.

 

EXACTLY the same.

 

 

 

Bingo! Some can't be happy with a nice gift. Always gotta be wondering if it had been better getting something different.

Thanks for posting. Based on this list, seems there'd be plenty of room for Busch. Might as well keep a guy with good Nebraska recruiting connections.

So now that we know Fickell was in fact willing to leave Cincinnati.. Did we choose Rhule over Fickell or did Fickell choose Wisconsin over us.

Could be neither.

I don't think MJ will stay and I am not sure that Rhule would want to keep him, as the saying goes...a house should not have two masters.

Wouldn't be two masters. Rhule is ultimately in charge. If Mickey wants to stay he'd need to fall in line with Rhule's philosophies.
