And Urban would have pi$$ed people off bc of his lack of ethics, Deion would pi$$ people off bc he hasn’t been power 5, guys were bitc!ng abot Fickell, MJ wouldn’t get a serious look anywhere but here…..yada, yada, yada… do I need to go on??? People like negativity, that’s what they do. I am not saying they are wrong, just saying it was inevitable that people were going to complain.

Agree that some do complain just to complain.

I have supported every coach that has been hired and will support Rhule if he is the guy. 
 

My problem is that I am getting a little burnt out over putting all the hope (hype)into the next Husker Savior.

Instead of waving the flags over a Super Bowl Coach, or the defensive genius Coach, or the if-he-had-resources-he’d-win Coach, or the UCF national champ Coach and crowning Rhule as the elite program builder ….. let’s just take it all with a grain of salt and realize that he may or may not be successful , and not disparage those who look on with a little doubt.

They are wins. I don’t need qualifiers. 

Ok .. then Frost won the National Championship at UCF and that 1957 National Championship banner at Kinnick Stadium is awesome.

Rhule won 10 games twice at Temple and won 10 games at Baylor. Many of his players were on Baylor’s team who won the Big 12 last year, and now Baylor has struggled without those players. 

The only ranked team Baylor played that season was Oklahoma  and they lost.

Wins over Stephen Austin, Houston, Rice and the rest of a down Big 12 ?  Not convincing .

Track record … that’s all I’m looking for , not one-season wonders.

Edit — and Temple, not even going to waste time to research success at JV-ball in a JV conference .

Buddy, Ruhle took Baylor to the Sugar Bowl.  Do you have any idea what I would do to get a Sugar Bowl berth?!  I'd take 84HuskerLaw off ignore!  I'd willingly read Scarlet Pumpernickle's posts!  AND I'D UPVOTE THEM.

I get it , and yes, getting to the Sugar Bowl (and losing to Georgia) was a feat.  But to me,  that is similar to -

1.  Callahan coached in the Super Bowl!

2.  Riley continuously did more with less at Oregon St,  and if only he had the resources at a place like NU !

3.  Wow, Frost went undefeated at UCF and coached Mariota! 
 

I don’t want a single highlight coach.  Might as well keep Mickey.

Yep.. Callahan / Riley 2.0

I hate don’t hate the hire. He’s been successful at the college level and I don’t correlate being unsuccessful in the NFL meaning you’ll be unsuccessful in CFB. He’s not necessarily a “ big name home run hire” but honestly the chances of Nebraska getting one of those guys ever is pretty small. We got what people thoughts was a home run in Frost and it was a huge bust. Rhule is a defense first guy who from what I’ve read believes in strong line play and a physical run game. If he and his staff can develop players he’ll be successful at Nebraska 

This is every coach.  
Rhule is a gamble.  Nebraska has been through this process so many times now you would think that we are done with the gamble -hire.

How about a head coach with a proven P5 record over a long period of time?

Bad hire.

The game day prayer is dumb.  If players do it in the locker room .. fine. Keep it there, don’t even show it on the screens. Should be private.
 

…And for people to do it on a message board, taking turns with verses .. cringey. 

The Blackshirt tradition needs to stay amongst the players. How and who they are awarded to shouldn’t be “civilian” knowledge.  Didn’t hear much about it until the mid 90s, and then of course with all the coaching changes, the media attention of how the new regimes would handle it, etc .. and the scrutiny over differences in process… that’s when it became over discussed.

Get rid of depth charts then. They are special being 1st string

 

Get rid of green jerseys then they are special

 

Blackshirts meant more when we had dominant defenses. People wanted them and strive to earn them.  It was an honor to have them

 

But yes we should field a dominant defense, I agree with that

 

SMGDH

Yeah, a depth chart isn’t inclusive.  All players should just take turns.

Maybe it is Aranda....And the search is just dropping little crumbs to make everyone look somewhere else....

I was thinking this also because of the coaches who were on the initial list, Aranda has not signed an extension yet .

Rhule 's resume is misleading.  He took over a Baylor program that was ripped down to nothing & made them winners in 1.5 years.  I don't believe we are that bad.  He also improved Carolina def. when he was there.  His problem was offense.  Whoever is our coach, they need quality coordinators not their friends!

Ding !  

Silly how modern journalism is about summarizing all of the rumors into one “informed” article.  It’s been reported… and sources say..

That means more dominoes like Franklin to Auburn maybe then Rhule to PSU.  This may take a bit.

I still think Kiffin to Auburn ($$$$) or Deion to Auburn makes more sense to them.  Auburn is looking for a showman football coach.

Rhule is confirmed.

 

I had a dream last night. I was talking to TO outside Trev’s office. Just as his secretary let us in Rhule showed up and Trev said we’d have to wait till later because he had a contract to finalize. I asked Rhule if he was the next coach and he said yes. I said I want to hug you and he looked at me like “who’s this weirdo” and walked in and closed the door in my face  

Actual dream…..I may have been on the board too long last night.

I’m as big a fan as any, but I have never had a TO dream.

Heard from a friend who knows multiple boosters that Rhule has signed a 5 year, $9M contract. Did not specify if the money was per year or total. I’m guessing that it is per year. Said Collins will be hired as an assistant. Do not shoot the messenger.

 

This friend is a little crazy with political conspiracies tho, so be aware.

Geoff Collins as an assistant…. Great… the ol’ hire my buddies routine..

Trev:  here’s your salary pool, go hire the best assistants. 
 

Rhule: Oh I coached with this dude at Western Carolina for like 2 years, he’s a good dude

Its not gonna be Rhule. I wish it were true but I just wouldnt be making tv appearances in nfl studios 4-5 days before you take over a program. You study film of your opponents and recruits. Learn the 500 mile radius. Get your staff together because yours is still at Carolina. Not sell yourself on nfl network and talk about past mistakes and what ya could've done differently. Who's next on the board?

$40 mil in the bank will make you a little more laid back ..

Rhule did not do great at recruiting at Baylor but he was able to coach up the talent that he had. Nebraskas recruiting classes are often about 10 spots higher than Baylors per 247....this is just going off memory.

Yep here we go.  Cue up the “did more with less resources” convo.  I keep that one in my “R” file … under Riley.
