Rhule is an A+ Life-skills Coordinator but only a D+ Head Football Coach. From game management to roster management, he is not the guy. A superb person and personality but winning the press conference and each offseason means nothing if you can’t back it up with good, fundamental wins on the...

I’m in favor of them buying MR out and hiring him. NU would win in that scenario. Don’t think that happens though. Think MR leverages this into a contract extension thus miring NU further into highly overpriced subpar mediocrity.

We can’t run the ball or stop the opponent from doing so. In the B1G. In year 4. NU is cooked. HCMR is a nice guy, good ambassador but as a HC he is drastically overrated.

The plain and simple truth is that Rhule is in his 4th season and has not been able to either run the ball effectively or stop the opponents from doing so. That’s failure, especially in the B1G. In addition, he hired an initial staff that was historically bad (& we all knew it at the time)...

Forgive me for not having a great deal of confidence in dragging a 69 year old coach out of retirement to help with 18-21 year olds amidst the free agency portal era in a win-now or else year with a new DC who has 1 year experience back in 2013.

Time will tell. Rhule seems to hinder himself through some sort of confirmation bias. If he ends up making changes only to bring in assistants that other top programs would never hire (based upon their ties to Nebraska, ties to him, etc.), then we should already know how it will end up.

D- The absolute smallest baby step forward. The only silver lining is that Rhule is forced to face the failure that is his creation: OC sucked, STC sucked, position coaches that sucked, talent evaluation that sucked, and game management issues that sucked. Sneak a 8 win season into 2024 and...

OL keeps DR clean, NU D limits run enough… NU-44 UI-25

Rhule has positives, recruiting being one of them. He thought he could get it done at NU (largely) with his guys. He didn’t. Conclusively. Rhule could be a successful executive HC in my opinion but that entirely depends on his offseason moves to improve his coaching staff. He already...

Ron Brown needs to get the boot as much as Foley.

If you can’t win 6+ games at NU in any given year (based upon the resources available - especially now in the portal/NIL era), then there should be no allowance for any coaching staff. True last year, especially true this year. Rhule’s failures and strengths/weaknesses are now obvious. He...

6 wins in year-2. If that was simply a product of poor personnel (& not poor coaching), then I would consider it a step forward. But that’s isn’t accurate for NU. Year-2 is definitely a combination of poor coaching and poor personnel. For that reason, given the level of investment and...

In September, on the onset of conference play, Rhule stated that the conference games was the where the real season starts. “We’ll find out where we are at.”, he said. Well, NU is 2-4 in that timespan. In the wins, an average 21 points scored. In each game, the consistent theme was subpar...

DR is the only shred of hope that the NU program & fanbase can collectively hold onto. If that is lost, then NU is truly dead and Rhule will be faced with even more open seats and distrust next year.

I view OL as a principle weakness of this year’s team. How can you not given our inability to control the LOS against any level of talent that NU has faced this year? What premier level talent does NU have? Who has Donnie recruited to address that talent deficiency? What does the OL look...
