I currently voted as “IN” but it depends upon the following factors:

- Do we finish the season with a record of 5-7, 6-6, 7-5, 8-4? 5-7 would make me as an “OUT” as would 6-6.

- Are we better prepared in the remaining games, what type of bowl game (if any) do we get to?

- Does Rhule make the necessary assistant coaching changes to OC, WR, and ST at minimum? We are paying top ten salaries for OC and DC, our ROI should be infinitely better than what it is currently.

- If Rhule does make the necessary changes who are the hires going to be? Are we able to pull in a top shelf OC, WR, and STC?

- Does Rhule make changes to the offensive philosophy and move away from the pro style to more of an up tempo, or RPO type scheme?

- How does Rhule adapt and shift his focus and overall philosophy with regards to NIL and paying top dollar for HS players and top level transfers?

Again in years 3 + under Rhule he has won usually 10 + games, and those are my expectations starting next year. We didn’t hire Rhule to win 7,8,9 games a year, we hired him to make our program relevant on the nation stage and in the CFP.

IF Rhule decides to stay the course and not adapt changes to the points ⬆️ I do see Matt Rhule eventually being let go from his position. He has to see that CFB has changed and his methods might need some tweaking, IE brining in a bunch of portal additions to help make an Indianus like jump next season.
 
The OL is okay at pass blocking and DR has descent protection most of the time, however, since the WRs can’t create separation when in man coverage, which causes DR has to hold it longer. WR coach needs to be canned.

OL can’t establish a running game to save its life. Plus it doesn’t help that Neb has below average RBs. RB coach needs to be shit canned.

For the defense not being able to adjust knowing that you suck against RPO offenses is the definition of insanity. Tackling still sucks at times as well. Not sure ifbTW and MR are butting heads about defensive philosophies.

Even if Alvano does comes come back, he still sucks and shouldn’t have been offered to begin with and was a feel good story at the time. Not sure what Foley does to prepare for a game and practice, but he needs to retired to the pasture.

Hopefully Rhule has some post nut clarity after getting embarrassed on national TV and makes some changes. He’s responsible for his staff and how they operate.
 
I am not out on Rhule, but his staff got dismantled. How does that happen? They were 1000% embarrassed today. I can honestly say I was not prepared to see that lopsided of a game. Everybody talks about the portal, but the guys they got from the portal we’re not that fantastic. Again, this boils down to coaching.

Tony White was as bad as anyone today.
 
Honestly, I only think the UCLAbia game is winnable. Second most winnable game would be Cockeye
I think the second game is Wisconsin since we have them at home. I think Cockeye piss pounds us even though history says it will be close.
 
We’d have Kyle McCord and he’d arguably be playing better than Raiola. But Rhule invested in the future with Raiola.

I also think it’s unfair to say this schedule is shit. Colorado is better than expected. Illinois and obviously Indianus are too.

That’s not me giving Rhule and co a pass for today. Absolutely unacceptable.
I'm not saying it's a total cakewalk but it's objectively an easy schedule compared to what most teams have played so far

Don't think this includes Indianus yet but we were the 93rd toughest schedule coming in to today
 
I'm withholding judgment until Monday to see if he will make changes. I doubt he has the balls to do it though
 
Need to make votes public- one way or the other there's going to be some dunks in the poorly aged posts thread.
I think the vote should take place after the season. It will tell us a lot more. I’m definitely leaning he won’t get it done as of today.
 
TW's defense has been getting exposed for it's weak spots for a while now. The TW is gonna be a HC somewhere next season talk has died down or ended a while back. I still want him here, and think he can adjust his weak spots and improve. Some of it is personnel on the field, we have some talent deficiencies also.

DR is the real deal, and probably the best true QB we have ever had. But a true frosh is a true frosh, and his confidence has been shaken for a while now. Our offensive scheme is just bad. Play calling bad. And skill player talent not nearly as good as we thought/hoped. Unrealistic to think a true frosh QB, even a really good one, can take shit and make wagyu steak out of it. Biggest issue though, is our OC is so easy to read and makes few adjustments.

I agree with not letting a bad loss ruin your day/week/life. Part of that is the fact that NU football has been so bad for so long now, the expectations are now "well, what did we think would happen" instead of all of Husker nation being depressed for a month from one loss.

Too bad next game is OSU. The team and program has had, and still has, the problem of expecting to lose, not expecting to win. I know they want to win, but inside don't think they yet believe in themselves nor hold themselves to the level of not accepting losses. Is what it is until it finally changes.
Great point. There are guys in their 5th/6th year in the program who have done nothing but lose and seem conditioned to it.
