They just lost to one of the worst Nebraska teams in recent history, and 3 of their neighboring schools (NU, Wisconsin, and Illinois) have made significant hires to their head coach in the past 2 years.

DefenderAO Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 With Fickell going to Wisky, and if Rhule is the developer we all want to believe he is, I could see a real rivalry between these two. I wish it developed into the weightiness of the OU / Neb days of old. Winner not just gets to a conference bid but is a front seat driver for top seed in the playoff. A man can dream... 1 Quote Link to comment
Popular Post Mavric Posted November 27, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2022 Pretty much this: I can understand if people prefer Fickell to Rhule. No issue with that. But to say either is significantly better than the other is disingenuous. And to say Rhule is a bad hire is just being willfully ignorant. 8 2 1 4 Quote Link to comment

It's a borderline template where Nebraska can be replaced with any team in the country. I stopped reading when he called the hire racist in the 2nd paragraph. Quote Link to comment

Hell, we may get our first "did we make a mistake?" moment just two games in against Deion. We better not lose to the one win buffs, even if they get Deion. Scott losing to CU back to back destroyed my confidence in him. 1 Quote Link to comment

Iowa is pretty much done for. They are stuck with Kirk for the long haul and he is never going to fire his son Brian. Also sounds like the iowa AD and iowa brass are chummy friends. The iowa ship is going down and nobody is going to do anything to correct it over there. With the new B1G TV money coming in, they have the cash to get a new AD and fire Kirk, but that will never happen. They elevate Kirk to be some kind of legend for some unknown reason, even though he has never won a championship of any kind. Just sad. When you give a Headcoach an unlimited leash, you get what iowa is stuck with. 3 1 Quote Link to comment
VeloHusker Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Would have preferred Fickell, but Matt should be really good for us. Quote Link to comment
Rhuletheday Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 It has begun. All of the big name coaches will be migrating to the two super conferences of the B1G and SEC given the massive pile of TV money. Thankful TO got us out of the dying Small 12. 3 Quote Link to comment
Hayseed Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 There’s no way Fickell will leave Ohio, everybody knows that. What Nebraska needs is a mole in the Wisconsin athletic department….the way they’ve been in ours. Quote Link to comment

Fickell was also my first choice, but Matt will get the job done, for he knows P5 football. Fickell on the other hand is going to have a learning curve. 1 Quote Link to comment

To me that screams better efficiency on offense and not just grabbing empty yards. What I like better are the defensive stats. Rhules’s defenses definitively got better gear over year at both stops, not to mention his Carolina D was pretty salty also. Great sign to see a focus on building a strong D. Quote Link to comment
Crusader Husker Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I was really hoping for Bob Devaney. Come on Nebraska. With all of that Big 10 money open up the coffers and figure out how to resurrect the dead! Quote Link to comment
