Fire Foley. It’s past time.

We don’t have a talent problem. Besides Ohio and the California schools, we haven’t been out-talented this season.  We have a coaching problem.   Rhule allows his assistants to determine who plays and I’m convinced they play favorites despite those players having glaring deficiencies.  Basically a high standard of play isn’t demanded.   We’re more talented than Iowa by a small margin but Iowa is more disciplined and fundamentally sound by a large margin.  They don’t beat themselves.  We do and have for years.  We will continue to unless underperforming staff are replaced.  This isn’t complicated.

Agree with this. We have the players we just don't develop them. As far as playing favorites, I'm guessing 90% of the time when that happens it's subconscious bias, not deliberate. There are a$$h@!es out there too though.

We have a fairly significant talent advantage over Iowa.  If we were halfway competent the other night that is a 24-3 game easily. They couldn't do a thing and we missed several open throws.  Other guys were open all night and he didn't throw the ball.  We were also running straight ahead just fine, then got cute. 

The most frustrating part of that game is they had no business even being close to us, let alone winning! If we could have just gone up 2 scores, Iowa isn't coming back from that, but we let them hang around.  The box score is an all timer. It just boggles the mind.  I have very little faith left in Rhule because competent coaches 1. Don't have teams that do these things and 2. If they do they are benching guys, chewing their asses and demanding more.  That isn't happening here and I will be very surprised if anything changes. We saw Dana do that a little, but I won't be surprised if he saw behind the Rhule curtain and says "thanks, but no thanks" if he won't be setup for success.

I will post here every morning until foley is canned.  Perhaps the Tony white news has delayed the inevitable, one can only hope that’s why this guy hasn’t been kicked to the curb yet

My dearest huskerboard members- I report back from the front lines. It’s day 2 of my mission.  I humbly admit I came ill prepared for an extended campaign.  My higher ups anticipated an announcement within 24 hours and equipped me with minimal rations to get me through wednesday.  I fear I must forage the land and hunt for my own meals if this drags on any further

i am writing Matt rhule directly letting him know my life might be in danger if he doesn’t can foley soon.  
 

wish me all luck, I sincerely hope I do not have to provide an update on day 3 and this charade will come to an end.

forever yours,

If only our special teams were as resilient as Ed Foley. The man is Teflon. How does he still have a job? His incompetence far exceeds any other coach. Every day I wake up with the hope I hear he has been given the boot. He adds nothing of value. Might as well light the money on fire and roast some chestnuts.
