If Rhule has a losing season next year it’s going to be hard to justify keeping him.
The only thing that I’ll accept right now is that this team is young and there’s some talent here that I do like. But with that being said, the “We’re young” talking point goes away next season. Go win games.

"We're just going to keep building"
Maybe he means keep stagnating?
I don't know what else you'd say in that situation but getting absolutely nuked by a dogshit Penn St team and an extremely average Cockeye team in year 3 is insane. I feel like I had low expectations for Rhule and we haven't even reached those

I would certainly agree. My thoughts anymore are that your head man most certainly matters. But the people he brings with him are just as important.
With the margin of error in this conference you can’t afford one person on your staff sucking at their job.

He's doing a lot of rationalization right now. I really don't want to hear any what if bullshit. Maybe if we are talking about one play that turned a close game into a loss I'd get it. But he stood there and listed a whole litany of what if horseshit. "If only these 20 plays had gone differently" Dude they just wiped their asses with us. The second week in a row. This team quit. And that is squarely on the coach.

I think for us to have a successful season next year you’re going to have to add a qb, rb, 1-2 offensive lineman, 1-2 interior d lineman, and some linebackers for sure and you better hit. We also need to upgrade some assistants.

Recievers and secondary as well, unfortunately need basically a whole new team.

I've significantly lowered my NU Football expectations over the last 10 years. At this point, I just want to see improvement YoY and not be embarrassed.
Outside of special teams, I don't see improvement and we had 3 embarrassing losses this year. Today was an all-timer for me. Getting destroyed on senior day by a mediocre Cockeye team.
Most alarming is that we're not building a foundation. It's just "let's see what we can buy in the portal and win the offseason." You need to use the portal but also need to have facets of the team (especially OL and DL) where you develop players and depth. I have no confidence in this staff to get it figured out.

I think we can make our secondary work with better line play. I’m also not as concerned about receiver if you can’t block.

Yep, and I don’t think Nebraska ever becomes a huge portal destination. Definitely not enough to build a whole roster. Even then it’s just dumb to spin the portal wheel. Hit and you end up like FSU with no foundation in HS and just playing the lottery every year.

Money talks. You might have to overspend some but the portal can level us up if our staff can evaluate properly.

I see 7 wins next year the rest are toss ups. Never know how a season goes or takes shape hopefully Washington has a coaching change, maybe Indiana will turn into pumpkins next year with how much they lose. OSU is a loss for sure until proven otherwise

That "if" is pretty huge. I've seen little evidence that they can evaluate. Or develop. We need both to happen at levels we've never seen from this staff before in order for next year to not be a complete embarrassment.

The problem becomes when one coach throws everything he has behind one year and builds his roster this way you kind of have to do it every year.
The best path forward IMO is to convince both Dylan and TJ to stay first and foremost.
QB - goes away if Dylan and TJ stay
RB - no way to spin this position group sucks
WR - need a guy
TE - eh… I’d be fine if we held firm
OL - we’ll probably always cherry pick here. Honestly, they did not play bad this week though and at times looked dominant.
DL- need a guy or two
LB - need a guy or two
DB - you lose a lot….. 😬😬
You probably need 11 guys in the portal. Which is fairly common for us. The unfortunate news is that in some of these instances these guys are tough to get. I’m not worried about WR, RB, or even QB for that matter. Those guys are much easier and honestly we’ve done okay with OL transfers. I’m worried about not being able to find the DL/LB we need and getting them up to speed in time.
My worst fear on defense came true this year. Which is that no matter what we did we simply couldn’t stop teams when they wanted to run on us and it often led to 3-4 yards a pop. Teams in this league (outside of USC) aren’t going to get bored running the football.

Then you fire Rhule and move onto the next coach. If Indiana can use the portal to win, we can be better than what we are.

Hence why I voted out on Rhule. But I'm not the one to make that decision am I?

i know some will disagree, but I don’t see Raiola or Lateef being the answer going forward especially with the line Donnie has built.

They can't develop, evaluate, or coach the fundamentals.
I have no doubt they'll land some decent transfers, off-season championship will be declared, and we'll see the same product on the field.
There is no foundation to this team. It's all empty calories.
