Matt Rhule to stay at Nebraska

[admo]

I seem to remember a Thursday night in Kansas City 2 months ago?

And Maryland was 4-1 when we went on the road to play them.

I actually think Rhule does fine with game management and it's the fans that need help understanding that area.

He could have handled the timeout when he was pissed, and the 4th-and-short that followed, better. Unfortunately, the little things counted last night.

The timeouts at the time felt weird but if you listened to the post game they made more sense. He had an 18 year old under center in a huge game who was confused. As we saw, every drive mattered in that game.

And it mattered that he made the worst of the three possible decisions while wasting a needed timeout after he had already wasted a different timeout that quarter

Not wasting timeouts is a part of game management. He did terrible with that. Using them far too often on defense early in half’s. Plus last nights debacle. I think knowledgeable fans understand this.

The people who get frustrated with MR, must have already forgotten what the Scott Frost era was like.

His timeouts were fine. The goal is not preserve as many timeouts for the end of the game as possible, which seems to be what fans think. It's far more useful to call a timeout when your team is confused about a call or look like they are about to give up a big play due to alignment than the hope that the timeout could potentially help preserve clock at the end.

Regardless, it didn't matter in this game because we had the ball with enough time to score at the end and a timeout still remaining.

No,

Its accumulated frustration from 25 years of torrential ineptitude.


Its fair.

rhule is not perfect, but he is a much better option than taking a risk with somebody unknown. the odds of getting lucky with cignetti type coach are extremely low.

It's not that for me. I remember Bo being fired. Then Riley was going to fix...Then Frost....Now Rhule.. I can't look past Rhule because of the past 8 years that we have wandered in the desert prior to his arrival. To see some, not all, of the same issues. And it's frustrating. Cig adds fuel to the fire. BUT he was a proven winner every stop. Just he is now winning at Indiana. That's the part that's hard to get past. And it's in the B1G. Team that whooped is last year and we have them next year. And some folks were like, but just wait until next year. And here we are year 2 and way laying teams again. With another portal QB. Yes Rhule deserves time, but we are on year 11 while he is in year 3....
