There are way too many people on this board right now who seem to be sitting around waiting for any scrap of news they can spin negatively just so they can take another swing at Rhule.
It’s the same pattern every time: grab any scrap of information, rip it out of context, twist it into whatever Rhule sucks narrative they’ve already committed to, and then act like that’s “analysis.”
I'll bet a lot of these folks don’t even want him to succeed anymore. They’re rooting for failure because it validates the take they planted months ago. There’s no scenario where they’d ever admit they misread things, so they’ve dug in and now everything goes that perceived viewpoint.
They’ll keep trotting out the “I want Rhule to win” line, but come on — their posts say the exact opposite. If he actually does win, it nukes the whole doom‑and‑gloom persona they’ve built for themselves. Being “right” matters more to them than Nebraska actually getting better.
Oh, and let’s be honest — this place is way worse now than it ever was when Frost was churning out 3–5 win seasons. People were pissed back then, sure, but the nonstop doom posting and “the sky is falling” meltdowns weren’t even close to what we’re seeing now.
It’s honestly wild that Nebraska has gone to back-to-back bowl games, because you’d never know it from the way some people are melting down about the current coach. The outrage seems louder now than it ever was under the guy who couldn’t even sniff .500.
TL;DR:
A loud chunk of this board is just waiting for any news they can spin negative so they can trash Rhule. They twist everything to fit a narrative they committed to long ago, and at this point some of them want him to fail so they can be “right.” They’ll say they want him to win, but their posts say otherwise. And somehow, despite back-to-back bowl games, the doom and outrage are worse now than they ever were under Frost.
