Iowa - What Did We Learn

What we learned is that we should barricade Memorial Stadium and not lay the players and coaches who showed up against Iowa enter the building ever again.

This is an embarrassing crap stain on the history of this program. It's a shame the fanbase isn't holding this program to a hire standard because they're addicted to losing.

I'm looking forward to 2028 when we fire Rhule and start being serious again.

Against the easiest schedule they've had in a decade and spending a metric ton of the Peeds money.

Matt Rhule us an embarrassment to football and should resign and save Nebraska 3 years of futility, but sadly, he won't because the leadership at Nebraska neurotically extended him before the difficult games because they are retarded when it comes to attempting to win football games.

I'm sorry, but when it comes to investment into the product, anybody who's played Madden more than twice could do better than these coaches. They are an active liability when it comes to winning football games. All we can do is hope they resign and save Nebraska the buyout money because it's obvious where Rhule is leading this pathetic attempt at "football". He's going to be fired in two years, everybody knows it. Rhule knows it. His staff knows it. Every player knows it. It's frustratingly obvious how embarrassing and inept they are.

Any person who's played Madden online is better than Dana but we have to act like he's a legit coach. It's Texasing stupid how catastrophic these people are. They need to quit immediately and save themselves the personal embarrassment before getting fired.

He had accomplished nothing to indicate he deserved a contract extension. There was a little hope, which is now gone.

I agree, we have two more years of the legacy that is Riley, Frost & Rhule. Bad football.

I’d have Ekeler coach the offense. He might not know anything, but he won’t look like a moron on the sideline. He’s a winner. I know this is ridiculous but so is this staff.

I remember the night this run of nonsense started. Back when CO stomped us.

Left the family gathering, and walked over to the local waterhole with some cousins.

There were some guys outside burning a husker jersey on the sidewalk.

I thought to myself...thats a little extreme.



If you had told me what was coming, I'd of thought you were a little loopy.

Yup! I remember it as well. We never recovered. Was the beginning of the end.
 
For all the hype that this year brought, Nebraska has not moved forward one freaking inch.

I am a gullible idiot for believing in them earlier this season when I actually thought a corner was being turned. Just another false dawn. Somehow this one feels worse than all the ones before it.... this was supposed to be different. But it wasn't.

Now we are stuck with him because we have a dumbass athletic director who prematurely extended ANOTHER coach before he proved anything.

Some will say "well 7-5 is better than 6-6" or whatever.... yeah that is true, but is that something to really be excited about? We are Minnesota's b!^@h and Iowa's b!^@h.

I'm glad this season is over because I don't want to watch this team anymore. I guess I'll watch the Ozempic Liberty Insurance Mayonnaise Bowl.

Thank you Emmett Johnson.... Nebraska has a losing record if you aren't here. Go get yourself a Sunday paycheck.

You think you're putting out some kind of major revelation that nobody else would have come up with about how a football team's offensive line is arguably the primary focal point for top-tier success? Everybody agrees that having a great offensive line sets up the entire team for success.

But I'm telling you that your original argument that our offensive line is this team's biggest problem is just a bad take. And if you'd like, I can throw stats at you all night to drive the point home to you.

Our 'yards before contact' stats are really good this year. That alone flies in the face of your argument - but then when you add how good Emmett is on an individual level, the argument really falls apart. He averaged 7.5 yards per carry today.

Now if we want to change the conversation to how we should have called more run plays and fewer pass plays in this game today, that's a different conversation.

The number one problem that our team had this year was not containing the run to end our opponents' drives and/or holding them to field goals on defense.

Well, I guess I'll just ignore stats ranking outside the top 80 or so of rushing yards a game, most tackles for loss, sacks, average per rush, or the ability to score TDs in the red zone vs kicking fgs since we did "really good" in yds before contact .

We're not gonna agree on anything except there are a ton of warts in this program and heading into a year where the repeated problems will lead to a long 2026
 
I feel like we have failed in our coach search for the last 3 attempts. I feel that we settled, instead of breaking the bank and getting who we needed and who could change things. I don't think we even considered some coaches, and we settled for no way to early and easily. The other thing is looking Ferentz today, makes me really think if we stuck with Frank, we would have had about 15 years of consistent 8-10 win teams and this would not have happened. Frank won games at Ohio, he could have kept this going. Might not have had national titles, but we would have stayed NEBRASKA because Frank was NEBRASKA FOOTBALL.

I don’t know how anyone could blame the players. It’s not like they woke up this season and said I want to suck

So much of this. It’s going to take more than money. We have lost some elite players. Look at what Hausmann, Boerkircher & Princewill are doing on great teams. This is a loser program and if we think we are just going to buy a roster we will stay losers. Someone has to coach them.

I would like to hear from anyone who is on here that was of a real age (greater than 16) in the late 70s and 80s. Fire Osborne was a common thing when he lost to OU. Should have they? Why didn’t they? Was it the right move? Is is the right move to keep you HC (rhule) but he has to realize coaching and scheme changes need to happen. Much like I think Osborne did? I really would like to hear from someone with witnessed this

I witnessed all that. It was hard for many years listening to "Osborne can't win the big one - NU's offense is a dinosaur - Can't beat faster teams like Florida State & Miami." It was hard to hear because it was mostly true at the time. I think the fan base got a scare when TO considered getting out of the unrealistic expectations here and going to Colorado, and the fans backed off a little bit on the super harsh critiques.

I like Rhule much better than any coach we've had post-Solich. I think he's open to making changes where he sees a need to & he's demonstrated that. I'd love to see Rhule coach here for many more years and see where he can take this program.
