Because Mike Riley took over a team that hadn’t missed a bowl game in 7 years while Rhule took over a team that hadn’t made a bowl game in 6 years.
I admit it’s sort of apples to oranges.

Are you out on Rhule?

Regardless of what Holgo does, Rhule should be nowhere near the offense. Live and die by the coordinator.
We will likely never know.
If Dylan comes back, probably not. If I'm DH and my QB doesn't want to listen to me and makes me look bad for it then No.
If DR moves on, I can see him likely staying.
Answer this:
Does Rhule fire him? Answer is no.
Where is he going to go after this years performance where he will get paid more than he gets paid here? Nowhere.
Is he going to leave all that money on the table? No.
Holgs is not going anywhere
Nebraska excels at finding situations where coaches aren’t fireable but also aren’t worth anything to another program.
Hate to say it but the Rhule era is already over at Nebraska only a matter of time before he's fired.
Whatever changes he makes over the offseason will just be moving deck chairs around on the Titanic. Some coaches and players might leave on their own for greener pastures.
Next years schedule becomes more difficult, maybe 5? wins on the schedule at first glance. Going to get their shit pushed in by some again. Ends up getting fired at some point rinse and repeat unfortunately. It's too bad I was looking forward to landing the 2027 recruiting class probably just a dream now.

Yeah, next years schedule is tough. We are deficient and have holes all over the place. O line and Dline first and foremost. You don't win in the B1G with subpar LOS play.
Beyond that, too many questions going into off season. Raiola's (Dylan and Donny) probably gone. Lateef, question if he can hold up physically. Emmett will be gone, no one behind him, room is very weak. Receivers did not live up to the billing again. Does Hunter even stay?
LB's have been meh. Obviously interior D Line is beyond weak. Rush ends have not panned out, we basically have no pass rush. Secondary has been good overall, but we will lose some and still will have holes.
Special teams did a 180 with Ek, but heck does Ek stay? Feels like Rhule is rubbed wrong by Ek's energy. Might just be jealousy on Rhules part. Aussie punter looked good early, but did not finish well IMO. Kicker - we are better but still iffy.
We have to spend BIG in the portal and hit on most of them. The youth we have has to improve and mature (and actually be plus players).
So many question marks, and who knows how many players bolt to the portal also.
Agreed. I don’t care that the schedule is harder next year - it’ll be year 4.
Maybe Dom gets what he wants after the way we looked out last 2 games and both Dylan and Dayton get more $$$ - if we have to keep Donnie as well, WOOF
This is where I’m at. You need to see tangible progress next year. To me that is minimum 9-3. Anything else should get him fired.
If he won 8 games next year it would be insane to fire him
I don't think he will be able to make all the changes that are needed even if he wants too. They need what 6+ transfers on each side of the ball? Not going to get any help from 2026 high school recruiting class either. Hire 4-5 new coaches or maybe more depending on who sticks around? I don't know if I can see it happening. Then have to play that schedule. I'm usually a glass half full guy but it looks pretty bleak right now.
You are correct. Almost impossible to make all the changes and improvements needed. That hole is too deep in too many ways.
If they win more than 5 games next season I will be surprised.
I hope we see some changes and Rhule decides to focus more on coaching than all the other side crap he has going, like podcasts etc. Besides our lack of talent and scheme, it baffles me why we have the amount of support staff that we do. We have a significant number of wasted checks in our football program. What do all these people do? Rhule has gotten everything that he has wanted as far as facilities, resources, and staff, and we look like shit more times than not.
It’s not a popular narrative at all…and our O-Line has dramatically improved over the season. Especially, since Minnesota…which was a game everyone struggled.
I take your point and it does makes sense. I do believe we can see a huge jump in our sophomore class from this year to next. A lot of young guys have had to play meaningful minutes which should, in theory pay off for their development into their Junior year.
Another year of size and technique development for that group will matter.
Yes, you can counter with…our coaches don’t develop players. I get the take.
We do have talent (young as they may be) and the cupboards aren’t bare. We have acquired much more than what we had when Frost left.
Idk. I really don’t. We’ve made bowls twice in a row, which is more than Frost did.
That said, we look like shit. We look soft, and poorly coached. We should be looking to emulate Cockeye. They play smart, sound football. They don’t beat themselves. Fuck, Minnesota does that. Northwestern does that. We can’t seem to.
Rhule talks a big game, but leaves a ton to be desired. The same guys who fuck up game after game are trotted out. Same for the coaches. He kept Satterfield and Foley long past when he should have.
If the NIL situation is actually better, than I have some confidence things get better. We have some young talent. We have to get better along the lines. Without that 7-5 is about our ceiling.
Our offense makes no sense. If Rhule is gonna insist on running Satt’s system with Holgo calling plays, that’s idiotic. If Rhule wants to be a power run team, that’s great. Hire someone who can run that.
Defense needs to improve massively. Tackling and the fundamentals are horrible. That’s coaching, pure and simple.
Ekeler did a lot of good. The vaunted Archie Wilson had his moments, but a lot of times was mediocre or worse. Return game started the year well, then was complete dogshit down the stretch.
Depending on where it is, I might go to the bowl game. Always good to see some of you sick fucks in person.
I’m about to order a large amount of pizza and junk food. Might play some NCAA Football 2004 and run the option all over Cockeye.
I love you all.

I'd argue that the biggest improvement came once Corcoran took over the RT spot. So that begs the question why Teddy and Gunner were ahead of him in the first place. Both of them were just plain awful no way around it.
Injury to your best player and starting QB. Pretty obvious what you’ll see from there. Low T chicken littles will, of course, chicken little.
