Wow, where are all the folks from last year who wanted Deion as the Husker coach? Funny how they all seem to be avoiding this particular thread.
Rhule was my guy from the jump. I researched him when he got fired from Carolina and thought "This is exactly what we need" and I was all in on Rhule from that point on.
BUT... there was a brief period late in the process when it seemed like Rhule was off the table and people were talking about Monken and some other rando as top options when I was like... "F it. Might as well shoot the moon and give Sanders a try and see what happens. Maybe he can bring in a bunch of five stars." Then things reheated with Rhule and I never looked back.
Thanks goddness it worked out the way it did. From his first team meeting with CU (which we all saw on video from the team of cameras hired by the guy who wishes he had more privacy) it looked like something I wanted nothing to do with. That first month sucked, but I don't know if I've ever taken as much satisfaction from a non-Nebraska situation as I have watching Colorado crash and burn these past couple of months.
