The Maudfather

I don't disagree that there are issues that extend beyond the AD position. Clearly, there are. I just think that it's pretty chickens#!t to run away from them instead of trying to be part of the solution.

I disagree with this take. Trev was already very well compensated. Hell, if it was a money issue, this could've been solved without leaving town. Trev was a Husker. This is about more than money - this is about loyalty and what it means to be a Husker. Strip this motherf#&%er's name off the North Stadium and let's hit a home run on the next hire.

Definitely. If he leaves for aTm, then f#&% that guy.

This. f#&% bright spots. This team hasn’t won more than 6 games since 2016.

That pregame Purdue speech - goodness. The right man for the right moment. I don't know that Nebraska has ever had a coach like Matt Rhule.

This.

Not exactly the same staff - they did bring in Bobby Petrino, but I get your point. The issues with Texas A&M hasn't stemmed from a lack of talent. Take a look at the 247's team rankings for the last few years (2020 class through current 2024 class): Compare that to Nebraska's:

I think it's a fair question and would say that my criticism, at this point, is result oriented. I wish there was some way to quantify. Nebraska may very well be doing all that they can to attract talent to Lincoln. If the current results are as good as it gets, then Nebraska may just continue to be a bad to middling B1G team. Hope this staff and program can figure out a way to take recruiting and NIL to a higher level. This team needs talent desperately.

It wasn't pretty last season, but they're off to a good start so far this year. Lost to what may very well be a quality Miami team and are a 2.5 point underdog to Alabama this weekend.

We need to be more competitive in NIL. We need to take a Texas A&M approach and spend an absurd amount of money to bring in better talent to Lincoln. Whatever we're doing currently, isn't cutting it - not even close. My point is that we are actively participating in NIL and paying players, but we're paying some mediocre players with poor results. This program is getting left in the dust. This program is the laughing stock of college football. If Nebraska is ever going to find its way back, then it needs to start acting like a big boy program and recruiting at a higher level. Nebraska needs more talent.

Yikes.

If this is the best we can do in NIL, we’re f#&%ed. Nebraska needs to start acting like a big boy football program if they want to be competitive again. A big part of that is doing a better job with NIL. Sure, they’re paying players, but we need to be paying better players.

We’re f#&%ed. Two games into the season and the dumpster fire rages on. This program is cursed.

Very confused by this announcement... CT was a 5th year senior because of the Covid year - he played in every single game all 5 years. I don't think he could return, even if he wanted to.

Yeah, fans should continue to blindly throw money at a program that is an absolute f#&%ing dumpster.
