POLL Grade the hire

[cwessel76]

What’s your take?

 

[Kaladin]

A

 

[Herbie]

D. He’s already lost Palmer!

 

[Mavsker]

A seems a smidge too high, B seems a bit too low, so had to go with Run The Ball
GBR

GBR

Why the F Mav?

 

[BorWhiskey]

I went with a B but I rated him a B+ on the profile. Thin line.

Agree. Seems like it falls somewhere between an A- and a B+

Agreed, I’d call it a B++.

This. But it’s a very good hire IMO. An A would have been Urbz.

 

[11husker23]

A grade hire for what we need. We are a rebuild and he is a program builder. GET THE DOWNS!!!!

 

[Jack Bauer]

I doubt Palmer stays regardless of who was the head man.

I'd put Rhule one notch below dream hire.

But then again, in recent years we've seen teams hire coaches who had just went undefeated, or who had previously won a national championship, only to for the coach to crash and burn. I don't think I even believe in dream hires anymore...

As one of the very few who hated the frost hire and said he was not going to win here, I am giving this an A.

Of the coaches that have experience doing what we need (developing players), he is tops in the coaching game. People really don’t understand how horrible temple was before him.

Baylor was well Baylor, which as a child that was a guaranteed blowout for Nebraska. Sure they had a few good years under briles. But the sanctions absolutely depleted that team and ruined that programs rep for a few years badly.

He took players like James Husker Lynch who Nebraska did everything they could to not recruit, and turned him into a top college player and high draft pick. That is what we get with Rhule.

Nah. But it’s easy to piss off all the tater haters

 

[Baron Winnebago]

Went B. Definitely not an A because he doesn't have that conference title winning pedigree you'd hope for. But he seems to check every other box

 

[YankeesJunkie]

B, but I would move to an A based on the staff. Leipold would have been a B hire, but his staff would have dragged it down to a B-.

 

[Dear_Leader]

C+ to B- He hated recruiting at Baylor. He has never used NIL money and his teams had a culture issue. His future is tied to S&C hire and assistants ability to pull in top talent.

 

[DuckSker]

C+ for now solely on the fact 8 years is ridiculous. 8 FUCKIN YEARS. Turd got bent over.

Jesusto Christo with this. Who the hell were we gonna get that has that? This is way to close to Tater thinking. I’ll call it whipped cauliflower substitute. With all due respect.

B on the coach but C- on the contract. 8 years woof
