You do what you can do with what you have & we don't have much.

You can do more than be 1-5 in one score games for $8 mil a year

He doesn't make $8 mil per year.....yet. Only $5 mil this year.

Oh, my bad.   I guess that’s why we only won 5 games.   Should have paid him $8 mil across the board instead of backloading it.

Expectations are way to high for a 1st year coach taking over a dumpster fire!

Northwestern did more with less.  They also had way more turmoil.

I’m not being crazy and asking for him to be fired or anything, but it’s also not crazy to be critical of some of the bizarre coaching decisions.   It’s the same things we complained about the previous staffs for also!   
 

What game did Rhule win this year that other coaching staffs wouldn’t have won?

Here is were I get upset with comments made on this forum.  I coached for 15 years.  When you have as many losses as we had on the offensive side of the ball this year, there is only so many things you can do. New coaches, New offense, freshman playing too many downs before they are ready.  I think at times, the coaches over analyzed what to do, as the offense was a colossal f-up.   Maryland, Coleman cut off his route causing an interception - freshman mistake, nor cubbas.  The last 3 games, teams started to fill the box & dare us to pass. We do not have any game changers on the offense.  Run, run pass will not work with our horrible line & rb that has trouble picking up the blitz.

Forgot one thing, Frost was more worried about his drink in the bar, than coaching football.  Way different.

[Packerhuskerfan]

The losses we had this year are the exact same type of losses we had under Frost.  I don't really see any difference.   I'd give Rhule 4 years, but I don't see much that inspires confidence so far.  I would be shocked if we hit  9 wins at any point.

Well no O.T. .... delayed death. Save my ticker.

 

Same as NU @ UW this year result

Perhaps so. And $Rhule$ was worse than 1st year Callahan and Mike Riley.

In the past 22 years, no other coach's best year has been better than Bo Pelini's worst year.

[Packerhuskerfan]

To be fair, Mike Riley only got the 6th win because of not enough teams for bowls.  I don't think this team would beat a top 20-25 team like UCLA was in a bowl, though.

Looks to me that Rhule and Pelini were the only two that improved the teams record in year 1.

So, you would feel better if we lost l of them by 20 points?
