Welcome to The Platinum Board. We are a Nebraska Husker news source and fan community.

Warning. This will turn your stomach
Matt Rhule (Nebraska)
The skinny: For a head coach who currently has a record of 66-60, Rhule has managed to elude criticism for most of his career. But that has started to change in Lincoln during the Huskers current 7-4 record, despite receiving a recent contract extension.
Rhule accumulated his 66-60 record in 10 years, but during three of those seasons he finished 31-10. Obviously, those were earned and shouldn’t be ignored, but neither should his other seven seasons when his teams accumulated a 35-50 record.
Painful. I don’t even know if Dannen gives a 💩The Alberts piece is bad enough, but further up the page on the link has Matt Rhule listed as the #1 ‘Hype over Substance’ coach. This kind of sums up all the things the folks on this board who hated the hire and continue to hate Rhule have said.

In fairness to Dannen, there was a large percentage of our fanbase gripping when Franklin got fired the week before Minnesota. We’re sitting pretty at 5-1, heavily favored over Minnesota and the fear was Rhule is gone if asked.
Dannen does what he thinks is the responsible thing at the time, and if you dive into the extension he really didn’t do us any harm, we get our brakes knocked off by the Rodents and that’s that.
I want to see some activity in the off season with the coaching staff, and I’ll leave it at that. As far as Dannen goes, give the program what it needs to be successful and stay out of the way. We suck in ’26 and he better be ready for action.

You’re probably right. I’m just trying to find a scapegoat. Just sick of this 💩.
Anyone that points to Rhule's career record as evidence that he isn't a good head coach is, frankly, an idiot.The Alberts piece is bad enough, but further up the page on the link has Matt Rhule listed as the #1 ‘Hype over Substance’ coach.

I'm not saying everyone has to think he's great, and there are CERTAINLY things to at the very least quesiton - but that's a shit support for the claim and if that's all someone has, I immediately dismiss them as nincompoops
I'm so sick of our media guys - I get it, it's how they make money - but I'd like to think I'd find more positive spins to help out the collegiate team I'm on the beat for...The amount of drama our own media coverage hurls at our program to deal with in season is maddeningMike Farrell is the king of all retards & was an Alberts hater when he was at Nebraska. He's doing his schtick for the hate clicks:

Oh, brother, I dismiss ALL of years 1 and 2 at Baylor...he was allotted 44 scholarships to everyone else's 85. It's insane what he was able to do there - like, one of the more impressive non-natty winning coaching jobs we've seen in my honest opinionAgreed.
Rhule’s three stops to date in FBS football are Virginia Tech, Texas and Michigan and I’d be wondering what the hell we’re doing as well.
Temple was bad before he got there, Baylor was worse and we pretty much sucked when he showed up as well. I don’t completely dismiss years 1 and 2 at Temple and Baylor, but anyone who can’t see progress there is a dipshit.
Now I don’t have an issue with someone concerned that we’ve made mistakes between years two and three and during year three here in Lincoln that can be attributed to Rhule. That’s fair. To say he’s been hot garbage here is false.
As with nearly all things, reality lies somewhere in the middle.
To be clear, Mike Farrell is not one of our guys... he's an east coast douche who worked for Yahoo forever before starting his own site.I'm so sick of our media guys - I get it, it's how they make money - but I'd like to think I'd find more positive spins to help out the collegiate team I'm on the beat for...The amount of drama our own media coverage hurls at our program to deal with in season is maddening
Correct. And, I could pick 10 guys locally that are basically him with their flip-floppy-ness, need for attention, and idiotic takes.To be clear, Mike Farrell is not one of our guys... he's an east coast douche who worked for Yahoo forever before starting his own site.

He's from Connecticut originally. Might have move to the West Coast for the Yahoo job.I thought Farrell was a West Coast douche?
I remember him on the radio late at night when I lived in Colorado.
