Yes.

Difference is we have extended coaches instead of cutting bait.

Those other blue blood types move much more quickly than we have, and that means in 8 years they’ve had 3 chances to hit where we’ve only had 2.

Texas got their guy. UF trying again, FSU will try again next year all while we’re stuck with what we know won’t ever work.
Everyone talks about the buyouts and how much they are. Extensions are way way dumber and costly
 
We’re getting off on a different subject but an important one. I am not always right. You do the message board thing for as long as I have and put thousands of “takes” in writing you’re going to be wrong a lot.

The biggest indicator for me on coaches is who they hire to come with them. To me Rhule was a good hire. But his first staff was awful and it’s caused us to be here. Had he nailed his first staff we aren’t here.
You are never right. Wanted to correct
 
I guess I just don’t agree. Frost would need to win 15 games in a row to be .500.

Rhule has the better wins and none of his losses are as bad as Georgia Southern or a 1 win Northwestern team. I think we’re forgetting how bad and embarrassing it was. Comparing only their B1G records is dumb when Frost has losses against Troy and GS.

With that said, it’s not good enough — I’m with you there. If I had to bet, Rhule doesn’t get it turned around but firing him after this year is unrealistic.
Every game Rhule coaches is embarrassing
 
Taters fail to realize all the talk about the bowl drought was just to make a point about how incredibly bad we were, not that we’d be happy scraping by at near .500 as long as we make a bowl game every year, as if accomplishing something that 80 other teams you’ve never heard of do every year is something to actually be proud of. Congrats guys we’re mid again, pay that man
 
My worry with Rhule is what is an example of the identity of his teams/coaching that we can expect every year? So far it’s not being able to beat top 25 teams or we’re going to fall apart in the 2nd half of the season.

So far Rhule brings flash with the speeches or social media/podcast or McAfee appearances but I’d like to know that Rhule’s team can always run the ball/play defense/mistake free football/QB play but we’ve seen he’s very dependent on his coaches & he’s not great at picking the right ones.
 
I don’t see a huge difference. Rhule got boat raced by a bad Minnesota team and embarrassed at home against Cockeye in year 3 and ended it with a real dud in the bowl game. Okay Rhule made some bowl games, but this year we should have been a 8-9 win team minimum with this schedule if Rhule is a good coach. Next year is set up for a train wreck season.
SF was 16-31 at Nebraska.

Not saying Rhule is a world beater. I’m annoyed with what he’s done to this point. But after 1 and a half years of frost it was very obvious he wasn’t it.

Frost was a terrible recruiter (the worst I’ve ever seen at Nebraska by a mile) and all the off the field drama made it obvious. The dude literally would be late to practices in his last year. Rhule can at least run the day to day better and clearly has a better plan in recruiting…but it doesn’t mean he’s good. It might very well end up being comparing two turds….but the bigger turd is very obvious imo
 


It’s true. Good take here Rav…tough and weird place to be.

Keep crashing out people…love the front row seat 💺

We have to improve in a number of places and ways…still in on Rhule.

Ravi is a fuckin retard. He's Damon's lap dog and just parrots anything that comes from Damon including Caleb should be playing. We saw how that worked out. I can't stand that dude.

I believe I read that Caleb recorded most tackles for the team at bowl game
 
I'm not out on Rhule as much as I'm just out on the way this entire operation is being ran. If Nebraska isn't going to be a real serious player in the NIL market, then what's the point? You can't just pay big for 1 or 2 players and say "see look we're competing"

It has to be full on acquisition of talent across the board at the high school and transfer level.

Nebraska is basically acquiring talent at a mid to upper tier Big 12 team (minus Texas Tech) level. That is just not acceptable when you consider yourself a blue blood, are in a top 2 conference and your fanbase wants you to compete.

Maybe we should wait more than 12 hours after the portal opens to make that call?
