Yep, he was toiling away in the shadows until he was 50 and took a HC gig at a small school ...as brain-damaged Superbigfan would say, "a poverty program" ... only in this case, that's what it actually was.
I am sorry, but if expecting to beat a down Minnesota as a 7 point favorite, top 25 team is unrealistic, what is the point? How is that remotely acceptable at this point?
I'd add one more component which is discipline. Without discipline you're going to have a mess in all three team scenarios. A disciplined team with good lines and bad skill players can be a very solid team in the B1G.
So much this. Guys that want to go to the next level are looking at teams that put them in the next level. NU, as a team, is not doing this. Let alone showing improved OL play.
Prior to Indy he was 147-37 as a HC. A LONG track record of success. He was a risk, as success was at smaller schools, but winning is winning. Rhule was 47-43 prior to coming to NU. "Better schools", but just 6 years vs 13 years for Cig. Can never tell. Rhule was a "program builder", but showed no long term success anywhere and Gig just wins.
This is Huskerboard. How dare you come on here and try to have a rational discussion!!!!!
Some great points for sure. 
Yep, so does Ferentz. It's awful because Nebraska loses and has a poor record to the fundamentally sound teams. For the old farts like me, that's what they used to be under Osborne and Solich.
If I was Dom, I'd like Dylan to leave. Someplace that could showcase his talent and minimize and "short comings". I think his ceiling his high, but unfortunately the current OL and OC is keeping him in the basement.
Dylan at a place with a good OL would be nice to see.
All good. I prefer a mobile QB, but when he shines he shines bright. OSU, Bama, etc I think he'd be in the Heisman talk. Here? No such luck. I think he is better than he appears. I do think he processes slow, is not the most athletic and doesn't throw with urgency. But poor line play and play calling could be a factor. Be interesting to see how much of these go away with a legit OL. Hard to scramble where anywhere you look an unblocked or half a$$ed block defender is still coming in the passing lanes or a faster backer or DB comes down hill....I mean on the opposite side look at what he IS DOING with one of the less talented OL I have seen at NU in quite some time. We have a lot of issues currently, but imho, he is further down the list of hose concerns.
It is not the x and o it’s the jimmy and the joes and we have not landed a top lineman in a long time we need big time lineman recruits every year like Jaxson cantwell just another miss how many times in the last four years have we had the number 1 offensive tackle in the country on campus and not land him because we get out bid even Rhule was hinting about it in his press conference that we are 10 to 20 million dollars behind other schools
I think he’s a 7 v 7 QB, but I’d be curious to see him perform with lock down blocking too. His lack of mobility is a serious problem. There are no current elite QBs that I can think of that are not a danger to get 10-15 yards if the defense doesn’t account for them.
