What the fuck is this name

I would pay Jim $1M to coach the team and take the other $11.5M and put it to NIL tomorrow if we could

I love Nebraska football but no way I'm taking that kind of pay cut

Either we care about efficiently allocating resources or not. We can’t bitch about the Minchey situation and then immediately go back to money ball mode.

This is the correct conclusion. Don’t care that we’re paying high money for a hybrid tackle guard. Get them in the building.

Blank check candidate.

Texas Tech off the top rope with $4mm! 😆

This the dude Georgia is suing?

I think so

 

[Tonkasker]

Oregon makes zero sense.
Those fans might revolt

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

Kind of stinks that we don't hear about Nebraska getting in on these kids.

Just in case you guys missed it, Mongo Mongo said Dylan is a great fit in Oregons offense.

Blank check candidate.

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’ve already given up on Nebraska being a serious player in college football. They had their chance last year and tried to play in the big 10 with a big 12 defensive* line.

And what’s worse is I defended them at the time. Shows what I know.

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

 

[V-Doub]

Let me guess… He’s gonna be Tech’s 14th edge rush commit 😒
