Rhule Post Season Press Conference

Then get your bags out boys.

If we’re not gonna pay for a QB just fold the program. Its just a power game with power brokers taking Nebraska fans for a ride.

I didn't read that as Rhule being opposed, just him setting an expectation & preparing the donors.

We will most likely have to overpay to get a quality qb since our OC is a weak link.

I don’t know, why would donors not want to pay for a QB after watching the position over the last decade? I think Rhule might not value the position properly, we settled on Sims and willfully began the season with him assuming he’d be successful.

Same. I wonder if his comment the other day (About telling Tony to only go to a few program that has the right resources was the same thing) was intentional. He said something to the effect of, “You can’t expect a 10 win program and only be willing to spend 8 out of 12 teams.”

So no comments about the staff and any potential changes???

I think it’s more recent with Sims. I’m sure Rhule can probably find some donors to pony up, but I’m sure there are some boosters thinking the return on investment on Sims was horrible so it will make them be more cautious throwing money around. The same thing is probably happening at other programs honestly because there weren’t a ton of portal qbs who tore it up last year. The miss rate is definitely higher than the hit rate.

Wish someone would have asked him. If player meetings are still happening today & tomorrow, I could see waiting till those are done before blasting it out publicly.

The best we can hope for is that Rhule brings in a qb coach who helps coordinate the offense and move Satterfield to tight ends coach.

He did get asked.. He said he was talking to coaches tomorrow and wasn't ready today to discuss whether or not there'd be any re-shuffling.

Thank you. That answer sounds to me like it's a virtual certainty there will be.

This isn’t directed at you but teams are either paying to get a P2 quality qb or they are paying to keep them. At the end of the day if we want to be competitive in modern college football the money has to be spent.

The risk involved with missing on a player to me justifies the need to spend more money. Easy for me to say as I spend someone else’s money but you either you spend more on one qb to buy down the risk by getting a better transfer player or you spend more on multiple guys to buy down the risk with more QBs (obviously this isn’t happening).

***On potential staff responsibility shakeups, Rhule didn't want to go there yet. However, he admitted that he wanted to hire a full-time QB coach with Marcus Satterfield as OC, "but it didn't work out."

Rhule said analysts could play a big part in that, especially if the rules change and they can do more on-field coaching.

 

[Mavsker]

Why do we need to pay $1-2 million for a QB? We don't need to forward pass, all we need is someone to hand the ball to a running back. Get me on the horn with Corch, I'll do it for $250k.

But can you do it without fumbling the snap?
