Wow, he took over 2 bad programs & made them winners. Take out the first year at each & its way different story. 2 Link to comment

Take out the first year at each & its way different story. Just take out this year for MSU, Indiana's last two, and those coaches are heroes. Not enough body of work. Rhule is a risk, but the flip side is our program is such a dumpster fire it may be the best we can do. I'll say for a 3rd time I'd take Fickell over Rhule 1000 out of 1000 times, even if I saw him in a blonde wig sitting on Urban's lap at a bar. 1 1 Link to comment

If we are going 2nd tier, you might as well give mickey a shot. Ruhle & Fickle are the best reasonable choices, other than Mickey. 1 Link to comment

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. 2 1 Link to comment
runningblind Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Nothing like simultaneously reading the defense of a new coach that has yet to have been hired right along side the questioning of said hypothetical hire. Keep it up everyone! 2 Link to comment

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. 1 Link to comment

I'm saying Rhule's resume risks looking like Allen or Tucker with IU or MSU. Obviously the parallels aren't perfect, but Fickell's time at OSU and repeated success at Cincinnati intrigues me as the best option here. Link to comment
Rhuletheday Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 https://www.outkick.com/matt-rhule-nebraska-cornhuskers-football-contract-hiring-speculation/ "According to multiple reports, Rhule and Nebraska could be racing towards a contract agreement. On3.com reported Rhule is “back in play” for the Cornhuskers, HuskersCorner.com reported the announcement could come as soon as Friday and the Lincoln Journal Star claimed university employees have been told to prepare to host high profile boosters and Nebraska officials on as little as a 24-hour warning." 1 1 Link to comment

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! 1 2 Link to comment
Dogs In A Pile Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Why I’m Doubling Down It’s Rhule So That I Can Be Completely Wrong In A Few Days Quote I want to start this post out by saying Trev has done a phenomenal job keeping this pretty buttoned up. No one really knows which direction this thing is going to go. But I do get more information than most, so I want to walk through how i’ve landed on Rhule still being the guy. After all, i’ve watched media members say he’s the guy then go on major message boards or even to their paper and say he’s off the table, only to put him back on it. But a week ago I told you I thought this is the way it was leaning, yesterday I said I think it’s him, so let me just try to solidify my thought process for you. .................. ...............................

secretasianman Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Silly how modern journalism is about summarizing all of the rumors into one “informed” article. It’s been reported… and sources say.. 1 Link to comment

HANC Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 1 hour ago, Stone Cold said: It has nothing to do for me about being cheap. But if you look at the top paid coaches in college, alot of those guys have won very big. Im glad they opened up the check book but i would of wanted to see that kind of money if we were going to steal someone from somewhere. Like if fickel is given 9 grand, ok. But Its like paying top dollar for a flashy car and theres a giant scratch on the side. I am well documented about wanting Fickell. He has been my guy all along. But in terms of comparison, I believe Fickell has had 3 seasons with 10 or more wins, which is exactly what Rhule has…. and Rhule would probably have more if he didn’t jump to the NFL. They are very comparable. If you are willing to pay Fickell, Rhule can’t be far behind. With that said, I am on your side wanting LF. 4 Link to comment
