This the dude Georgia is suing?
I think so
Makes more sense than you think
Lots of stunted development disney adults in the fanbase
Lots of adults wearing gym shorts and sweatpants to games
Unfortunately, our position limit for EDGE is $350k. Good enough to get a guy from Peru State and UNK
I’m 90% sure Rhule still thinks he can make it work with what they have on the DL.
Nobody ever said he was the sharpest tool in the shed
I am not going to say I’m out on Rhule and I’m not going to puff my chest and say I got something right because I’ve been wrong a lot before.
But…
Rhule’s first staff was a giant disappointment. Head coach matters. But who he brings as his assistant coaches matters just as much. Satterfield was never going to cut it. It was easy to see. Jeff Sims was a terrible take as your QB (I know he balled out at ASU). Your TE coach was a bad hire. Your WR coach was a worse one. Your special teams coach was also not good enough.
Yes he’s made adjustments. But he also made a lot unforced errors which has led us to where we are now.
I’ve got no idea where we end up in February. But it’s fair to say that our approach has been quite different than last year. I hope different means better.
Another decision I’m not sure on currently was walking Vince Guinta off of campus and redoing everything about player acquisition. Guinta has been one of the best in the business.
I hope Stewart is up to this task. The fact is we need a lot. We do have money. But I agree that money has to be spent well.
This is either going to go very well or very bad.
On the WR who is going to throw to him at this point? He’s going to watch film on TJ and say wtf is this hell no.
We've been talking about it all season. This is what Pat Stewart was hired for and he has to perform. There can be no "learning on the job" and while College NIL is still young and ever-changing there's really no excuses.
My concern is player negotiation, acquisition and roster organization is a different animal in college than the NFL.
Not to mention Stewart wasn’t good at his job in the NFL either. He’s a Rhule buddy. And is likely in over his head
In fairness John Mateer was pretty fucking bad at OU this year

It’s also the compounding of errors.
He didn’t pull the trigger on Satterfield after year one. Instead he let it linger and then decided mid season he had to do something. I realize I’m more down on DH than most fans, but whatever you think of him, looking for a new OC to come in and help mid season severely limits your pool - and what you’re looking at is guys who are out of work.
Then you lose your DC, who most people thought was your best initial hire. Instead of looking for someone with a similar profile - a guy with a couple of strong current seasons as a DC - you take someone with near zero coordinating experience and no recent history at the position.
Then you are forced to fire that guy and start over again.
And I would put the odds of Dana still being at Nebraska next year at about 25% given the track record here and the difficult schedule and God knows what happens (or doesn’t) at QB and RB, which means if Rhule is too expensive to fire, you have to start over there again.
Whatever happens in the future, it’s been a poorly run organization, and those kinds of high level administrative things should have been a Rhule strong suit.

They might be concerned he’s too sober.
I don't know how to evaluate how good he was at his different stops in the NFL but he's definitely in the MR tree.
I think it's much harder in CFB than it is in the NFL. At least in the NFL there are rules for player acquisition.
State of Nebraska fan lottery… New fan wins a one year contract to coach the team for a year. $1 million after taxes and the rest of the money we’d would’ve spent on a real coach goes to NIL. Winners of the lottery must show up and at least attempt to coach the team in some capacity to receive you 1 million dollar salary/check. Salary is not contingent on W/L results, you just have to show up to work.
Option #2 - Hire some schmuck at discount salary. Total no name hire for like $1.5-2 million a year. Say… “We want to win.” gaslight the fans, media and most importantly, the boosters. Keep selling out Memorial stadium, merchandise and continue push every possible revenue stream. Always selling the future and insisting we’re “close”. Then…
Behind the scenes (be more like an open secret) we’ll just spend like 2 million total on our entire football roster and funnel all funds towards having the most dominant basketball program ever known to man. Now, if Fred will just keep his fucking mouth shut and just take the damn money… It might just work.
Disclaimer: option 2 will include many humiliating 3-9 seasons for the football team.
