Sign Dana to a 2 year, let him pick guys for bowl game to start prepping for next season now. play all young guys in the bowl and let’s see what we have to work with. I thank the upperclassmen for their dedication and what they’ve given to the progrum, some for 6 years, but I’ve seen enough and wish them luck. Dana lost me some last nite for the 2nd half calls. BUT, I like your idea. He has 15 practices to audition for the permanent spot. Unsure how much Rhule does with the day to day and game planning, but he needs to give Dana the keys to the offense from top to bottom. Who starts, play calling etc….Rhule needs to keep his mouth shut. His influence and culture building have us at .500. Awesome. It also had us pooping our pants in a winnable (game that was won) on national tv again. Teams take on the personality of their leadership….. Quote Link to comment

I mean, I guess I don't really think he will be "interviewing" for the job. I think he will either want it or not want it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

He has seen behind the curtain and might realize we are a crap show from top to bottom and might not want to be attached to this. Or he might see it as a challenge. I’m sure he’s also wondering can he release staff, players, be in charge of recruiting his offense, staff, guys in the portal etc….. Last night laid bare a whole lot of issues with this team and staff. Quote Link to comment

Dana is the opposite and you could see it in the play calls last night. Rhule and Satt would have just had 3 and outs all night. So they might not click in the end. But Dana did take some heat off Rhule and if they win a lame bowl game it will make for a much better off season. 2 Quote Link to comment
Savage Husker Posted November 30 Share Posted November 30 It comes down to how they coach the kids up. And the mental toughness. Can’t let one mistake become 2,3,4. Missed fg, fumbled punt, multiple times putting the ball on the turf. Protect the dang ball, for cryin out loud. There was one play call that should have been swallowed, it was the end around with Nelson. Dumb. Other than that, it comes down to pushing these kids to execute, which both staff and players failed their respective roles. They could have won 10 games this season with the right mental makeup. This offseason will need to be the turning point for Rhule to show he can arrange a staff that can emphasize fundamentals, discipline, execution, and coach kids up to succeed in the face of adversity.

Huskers93-97 Posted November 30 Share Posted November 30 I learned we may still finish our season with another losing record. 6-7 doesn’t feel any better than 5-7 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment

The bowl game is lame (all bowls are lame now) BUT at least it is another game to watch and talk about. Next season will be interesting and is clearly the make/break year for Rhule. 2 Quote Link to comment

IMHO, I do not think this staff, in its current configuration, is up to the task. In year 2, what position has improved? How have they "learned to win"? Over come mistakes? I just remember watching last night and KNEW that the muffed punt meant we'd lose. It's like a liver shot in boxing, we take one and we are done. Throw in portal transfer misses and we just seem to be a car running on 3 good tires and no wipers in driving at night in the rain... 1 Quote Link to comment

I would have no problem with an entire new staff. I know some fans are like "but the money!" but honestly, that is not a concern, the only concern is having a good FB team. And NU is getting really close to become a typical lame a$$ Big Ten team. That can't happen. 1 Quote Link to comment

A) You are living in a fantasy world if you don't think a $50M buyout this year or a $40M buyout next year would be hinderances to firing Rhule (especially in the NIL environment). 2) News flash: We have been a "typical lame a$$ Big Ten team" for about 14 years.
