We’ve got holes, yes. More than we should, yes.
I’m not sure it’s fair to say we’ve got no foundation.
I guess I just don’t agree. Frost would need to win 15 games in a row to be .500.
Rhule has the better wins and none of his losses are as bad as Georgia Southern or a 1 win Northwestern team. I think we’re forgetting how bad and embarrassing it was. Comparing only their B1G records is dumb when Frost has losses against Troy and GS.
With that said, it’s not good enough — I’m with you there. If I had to bet, Rhule doesn’t get it turned around but firing him after this year is unrealistic.
Idk if it’s a head coach picking problem or a Nebraska problem at this point.
Every coach we’ve had seems to feel the need to pay homage to the traditions of the past in playing, coaching, or program building.
Which made me appreciate what Christbol said last night more and more about Miami.
“I cringe when I hear Miami is back. We can’t be those guys, we don’t want to be those guys, we’ve got to go do it better than those guys.”
What is the foundation?
If you're not developing players, created depth within your roster in three seasons, and have failed on your coaching hires, what do we have to fall back on and how does that translate to success?
LOL…says weird spot essentially. Best two years of Nebraska football in a decade and still feels rough..
I respect that opinion. And in the end you may be right.
I'm choosing to cut Rhule slack on the Raiola circus thing and the 2025 roster thing. I believe the Raiola circus thing was something he had to do. And the 2025 roster constraints were partly driven by a lack of funds.
That's why I am still backing Rhule in 2026. He cleaned the Raiola cancer from the system. And he supposedly can spend money like the big boys. If I don't see clear improvement and a clear direction then I will call it like I see it. But I'm staying on board for the reasons I mentioned.
I think the NIL landscape submarined Rhule who expected this thing to be a gradual build via recruiting and development. Problem is the competition was better at the development and the talent acquisition.
That’s on him fair or not. Either they’ll figure it out this offseason, next and do enough to make it to ‘28 or they won’t. Really wouldn’t expect him gone after next season unless he misses a bowl game.

We’ve gotten proven coaches and they forget how to coach.
We’ve gotten hot up and comers and they’re shit.
We’ve tried inexperienced guys and they’re terrible.
Until TO dies and the curse is lifted, we’re wasting our time.
If you’re talking about the topics you’ve listed here I’d probably agree more than I disagree.
If you’re talking the roster I think we’ve got more pieces than many are willing to admit at this point.
You picture any player or coach who has success anywhere else being a complete failure if they had the misfortune to come to Nebraska.
Our program is like some sort of funhouse mirror where you can peek in and see the worst possible of outcome for your career.
I will disagree. It’s head coaching problem. We have enough resources to field a top 25 caliber team every year. Riley was washed up and close to getting fired at OSU when we hired him. Frost was lazy and never put in the effort. Rhule has never beat a good team in his coaching career.
I bet it’s two years before he gets fired if he doesn’t figure it out because we gave him an unneeded extension.
Then if these things were so easy to see, why didn’t we see them? Stupidity? Incompetence? Both? Some other reason?
I’m not being harsh on you. I’m just not willing to believe that ADs know someone sucks and hires them anyways and it’s always obvious for us fans to see to the point that we’d be better off if we ran things.
Rhule or no Rhule, there’s one thing I know. We’re gonna find a way to win the offseason. We always do, it’s our second biggest strength (diversity).
Right, only difference was Frost having to lose 10 more games to match Rhule’s win total.
That is proof you can make stats say whatever you’d like them to say.
The Frost vs Rhule shit needs to stop. Frost has had 1 season over .500 as a head coach.
Logged on for the first time today, saw I had 15 pages in this thread to read. Thought there would be some great discussion. Feels like a midget fight in here
