What’s up with him? His whole Twitter is just retweets of other corches recruiting. What’s he up to ?

My theory is that Barthel had two mistakes working against him.

1: He didn't evaluate his room properly. When Emmett Johnson, who you had at 4th string, comes in and outplays the guy you had near the top of the depth chart (Grant). And that top guy cost you a game (Minnesota), then maybe you aren't a great evaluator of talent. And his nonsensical usage of his room in the rotation emphasizes that you don't know what situation is best for your guys.

2: He lost the only RB recruit we had. (Lacy)
This one isn't so bad because it happens when you go after a top talent, but he didn't have a back up plan ready to rock afterwards. And we know Rhule loves contingency plans and probably doesn't like it when someone on his staff doesn't have one.

Bonus Theory: Was Barthel involved with that staffer whose hijinks made it so that he had to be let go a few weeks ago for being a perv?

He also ran AJ off. He’s a dipshit

3. Barthel put Grant in at end of Minnesota game, Grant fumbles, MN wins game. Rhule screams at Barthel on sideline.


That was an odd one because literally 1 week before Rhule was telling the media how Grant was having fumble issues and that he wasn't going to get much playing time until he showed improvement with the football in practice.

Then in game 1 in our most crucial drive of the game, Barthel puts Grant in and he fumbles the game away (making Rhule look like an idiot). Ruined Rhule's career opener at Nebraska.

I think that got the Barthel-Rhule relationship off to a bad start.

Didn’t the staffer getting let go rumor get debunked?

I don't remember exactly but I thought we let a backroom organization guy go in the middle of the season due to unwanted advances on office staff. I also can't find an old article about it so maybe I had a Jim Morrison style fever dream and made up a memory.
