K. I hope there’s a 30 year old GA at UMass that can coach WRs at the same level as Mickey Joseph can and no other P5 school has noticed yet.

This isn’t going to be a staff worth 7m. There wouldn’t have been any reason 5m couldn’t have gotten the dudes we have now.

We’ve seen this movie before and we know exactly how it ends.

What‘s great about life is that it’s not a movie.

He's on a bender now where he's gonna compare everything Rhule does to what Riley did. Meanwhile the two situations have nothing in common. And the two coaches have nothing in common.

Matt Rhule is a 47 yr old emerging HC entering the prime of his career. Mike Riley was a 62 yr old retired HC who hit his prime 10 yrs before he got the UNL job.

No similarities between Rhule and Mike Riley.

Nebraska has been a losing program with a losing culture for a long time. A couple of good guys may get caught up in it, but fundamentally there is nothing worth preserving. Don’t blame Rhule for looking at it that way.

For example, if #2ndChoice comes in to Wisconsin and totally cleans house, I could understand the criticism to that. They’ve had a winning culture for a while now.

We said the same exact thing that a “clean start was for the best” when Frost walked one of the best west coast recruiters out of the door and replaced the best WR coach in the nation with Troy Walters.

We’ve seen this movie before where the head coach thinks he can see things that nobody else can and hires a bunch of under qualified help.

I get that but his assistant hires so far are somewhat underwhelming if we are supposedly opening up the check book.

You could be right but we don't even know what the numbers are at this point. You hire a head coach then you let them decide who they want if not then you don't hire that head coach.

Tell me a first year DL coach is what we need in the big ten. I’m old enough to remember a time when we called the big ten a LOS league. Entrusting one side of the LOS to a guy with basically no experience is absolutely stupid. Upper echelon stupid.

Lol you’re still mad about Uncle Wideouts?? He must be coaching at Alabama or Georgia right now??

Solid deflection from the actual point. I’ll take that as an acknowledgement.

Maybe give it at least 48 hours of hiring to see how the staff fills out.

I would think the likely incoming DC would prove that he’s not afraid to go big

You literally used that as the example. The guy hasn’t had another college job since.

I definitely like the guy as a recruiter. We will see how he does scheme wise. His staff is definitely going to have question marks.

We don’t even know who is on the staff yet!

I thought the A$M guy was going to be the DC now or is that assumption wrong?

No amount of time is going to convince me that hiring a guy to the most important position on your defense who’s been coaching since 2020 is a good idea.

The point was that someone said “fresh start.” Which is exactly what we heard in 2017 to justify firing good coaches from the previous staff and replacing them with shite coaches.

Again… We’ve seen this movie. We know how it ends.

I'll wait until the rest of the staff is filled out before getting my panties too in a twist, but the autopsy on Frost is that he hired too many guys who needed to learn on the job in Lincoln instead of going out and getting assistants with serious resumes.

Let's just not throw that out the window because we're excited for the next chapter.

I do agree with you that the hires so far do seem a little concerning. That being said, Frost was not known for his attention to details or for micromanaging. If Rhule is good at those things, I could see where a young impressionable staff could really work in the long run. Remember, he's not building for success in year one.

 

[Fargo Husker]

Sounds like Mickey is too.

Where are you hearing this?

I think that is the assumption, but I’m not getting worked up either way yet until we see how it plays out.
