Hear's what I'd love to hear.  We got our teeth kicked in.  Manhandled by a 2-5 team. Quit believing that "This is Nebraska".  Nothing on that field was Nebraska.  I'm doing a lot of soul searching and for some on the staff this is their last season at NU. Possibly their last game. No reason for this.

I would love to hear this. AD walks in and says pause the press conference. The staff is fired. Pack your s#!t. 
 

im tired of people who suck at winning getting millions of dollars to fail at their job then pay them 50 million to go away. 
 

Rhule will get ridiculous money from Nebraska and Carolina to go away

He seems to care and is serious about things. He has fire and seems to be able to get players motivated. He needs to motivate Satterfield to leave though.

The bold is the part I'm seriously starting to question. It seemed like his mind games were generally working last season with lesser talent. This year it seems the message has grown stale. 

 
A year ago i had a friend killed by a abusive boyfriend.  She hid it well, reading over the eulogy i realized something right now.  This is a abusive relationship.  Continuously putting effort into something that just keeps hurting  you over and over again while thinking/hoping it will change.  It wasnt until my mom threw my stepfather out of the house for alcohol abuse that he was able to turn his life around and recommence wit us some 15 years latter.  I cannot do this anymore, i can live with losing, i can live with the negativity of living with iowa fans.  I cant be lied to anymore about how things are turning around, how things are getting better, how we need to trust the process. Im not a fairweather fan, ive weathered the storm.  Im deciding to get out of the boat.

I'm sorry for your friend. And I think it's perfectly healthy to step away from a relationship if you're not getting what you need out of it. I've been much happier realizing I can do this, and have severed ties with several people that were a net negative on my life. It's freeing.

The only difference is, this being a sports team, if they stop this behavior, you can jump right back in. Much harder, and less likely, to do that with a personal relationship.

 
This teams biggest problem has been its mentality for years. They get up and play hard in the "big' games. But think they can just show.up and win against "lesser" opponents. If it's not a big game, the team.comes out flat and disjointed, the energy level and intensity is nil.
