Emmet Johnson in Transfer Portal

Not commenting on whether it’s true or not but that story is going to catch on like wildfire among some of our fanbase. I can already picture the phone call now for me with a family member in particular.

You are literally the messenger.  Rhule and Dannon need to be fired if this is true. Are you ready to spread this?  Do you stand behind it?

For those curious, this guy is alleging that:

• EJ was RB1 in spring of '23, and in fall camp of '23

• Satt came into the RB meeting before week 1and decided they were going to go with Gabe because "he has game experience"

• EJ was back to RB1 in spring of '24 and fall of '24 w/ everyone thinking he was by far the best back

• Satt comes in again before week 1 and makes an executive choice that Dowdell is gonna be the starter

• Holgerson comes in and says, "why is #21 not starting?"

• Satt comes in drunk after being demoted and says, "I can tell you now..I f#&%ing hate you" to EJ

• Holgerson is actively trying to get EJ back, and is the only coach that he feels he can trust at all and the only one he likes

This all comes from some 'direct' source close to EJ, who haven't provided a 'why' for all these claims, but that's the accusation.

The bolded part is simply false and nowhere near accurate.  Johnson wasn't even in the mix to be a starter at that point.  He may have run with the 1's when guys were out, but he would have to be delusional to confuse that with being the starter and believing Gabe was named starter over HIM prior to the Minny game.  That was Grants job to fumble away. 

Which brings me back to the Minny game.  Rhule himself said it was EJ's decision to put Grant in the game at the end.  So I'm to believe EJ has total control over who plays on the final drive, but not who starts?  Can't even get Johnson his 5th touch until the 6th game?  Not to mention, Rhule himself was quoted many times about it being Gabe or Grant w/Rhamir in the mix and as the 3rd down back.  At that point, Rhule was mentioning Johnson with Rhamir, not Gabe & Grant.

The fans are the soap opera.

This is a Husker “message board”.  It’s out there.  Put it in the rumor forum if the mods wish.

Direct sources seem to evade outing pretty well.  Indirect sources (like a friend's dad who used to help house and feed recruits in the old days before it became a no-no) exaggerate.  I do believe the part about some trying to get Emmet to reconsider, especially the new O.C.
