Season turning from success to failure

[...TrueColors...]

I know they are. So I’ll just stop here while I think I’m ahead.

FIFY

I always think it’s funny when people jump on here to tater vile and give their opinion on how they’re down on the coach or losing faith and then some jump in and get upset for voicing such an opinion.

This happened after year three with frost. Hell, even year two with frost people voiced opinions/ concerns. It’s almost like those people were on to something weren’t they? This offense is as bad as a cosgrove defense.

What offense do you think would work better? Don't say Cockeye.

Even Cockeye doesn't run all the time. Yesterday they threw 31 times for 223 yards.

How’d he do at UT Martin as OC? Satt also wasn’t the OC at Baylor, and didn’t coach QBs.

Temple also had PJ Walker at qb which by the way threw 4 picks when they played a p5 defense.

I didn't say Satt was OC at Baylor because I know he wasn't, and because my point was, this is Rhule's offense, not Satts.

As to your PJ Walker point, yes, we don't have P5 QBs either it appears.

It sure seems like Rhule has playsheets in his hand on the sideline.

This is absolutely correct. To be clear, This isn’t to say that Satt would be Andy Reid without Rhule’s handcuffs. However, schematically this is a Matt Rhule offense.

Against NW and yesterday he was much more active with the offense in game than he’s been. He always has a play sheet and he generally keeps them in his pocket. But NW and yesterday he was very much engaged.

No shit Carm. It was beamers offense at SC too. look at my original post. You bring in an OC who has a track record of being a leader in turnovers to run your offense. Stupid.

Who are you even arguing with now dude? Nobody really disagrees. So what are you doing shouting the same thing everyone agrees with in a manner that you think makes you some type of thought leader on the subject?

He was never going to bring in a guy who didn't understand what he wanted to do culturally and couldn't trust to execute it, or who he couldn't trust to install his offense and run it the way he wants. Now he is making sure the plays he wants in every situation get called.

What's more likely than Satt getting fired this year is that Satt moves on when Rhule thinks McGuire is fully "groomed", then McGuire becomes OC.

Preseason predictions also assumed a slightly competitive and more difficult B10 West.

A bowl game is still the goal and we should all feel good if that happens, but winning the division looked entirely possible once it was clear the B10 west was a dumpster fire.

This schedule looked easy before the year, and now we know it’s even easier than we could’ve imagined. And we’re not taking advantage of it because we turn the ball over 3 times a game. Not going to a bowl game would be a failure, there’s just no other way to put it.

Are we in a position to be moving the goal posts? We've had equally as weak schedules over the last decade and it hasn't made a difference. Winning the west was a two week pipe dream simply because mathematically it was still possible. Not because we felt it was deserved.

Not going to a bowl game will be disappointing, not a failure. A failure would have been a winless season or a season in which no notable progress was made, showing that it was the wrong hire. Bowling is and was on the high end of our potential for the season, not the expectation right now.

 

[Carm]

I don’t give a shit about what your fence riding posts said in February buddy.

But firing Satt won't change anything. May even make things worse be creating OC-HC tensions unless there is some other Rhule disciple Matt can hire for the job.

You're really arguing for dismissing Rhule and getting a CEO HC, it seems to me, instead of a micro-managing one. That's actually a defensible position, although not one I'd advocate unless this year repeats a couple more times.

Rhule is a builder. His 1st years are generally pretty bad on the field. Year 3/4 is when it takes off. Patience folks. Better talent that’s been developed over 2-3 years will significantly widen the margin for error against the bottom and mid-level B1G teams. The new challenge for Rhule will be consistently competing with (and beating) the elite.

Fans of Nebraska and patience go together like water and oil. The most patience I've seen in this fan base was when that dipshit Frost was coach. Fans are already calling the firing of coaches ten games into the first season. For a team that finished 19-37 under the previous coach, NU is 5-5 with two games remaining, which is pretty decent all things considered.

But somethings will never change with this fanbase...

We watched 4 and a half years of basically nothing significant under Frost. I know it’s a shit West this year but this is the most significant, legit hype and excitement around a month of Nebraska Football in maybe a decade. 2019 was all hat and no cattle, hype wise.

I’m all N on Rhule, I think he’s the man to do it. We will need an upgrade at OC, as I watch these games and don’t even really see the point to the play calling. I felt like the same during a large portion of Frosts tenure.

We are an experienced QB and 1 or 2 immediate receivers away from being that 8-4 team that we want for the next 2-3 years.

Everything is realistically okay and each game is a coin flip at this point to get to a bowl game this year

 

[DuckSker]

You’re losing faith in a coach who has 2 more shots at bowl eligibility for a team that hasn’t been to a bowl since 2016?

What did people actually expect here and how many of these same morons gave SF the full 4 years before they checked out?

You’d have to be a full blown retard to not make a bowl game with this schedule. We are like 85th in SOS

Speaking of which, the stadium sure appeared to have a lot of empty seats. I’ve always hated these 11 am games. Fans and team always appear flat.

I thought the crowd was really into it. Haven’t heard a stadium GBR chant that loud in a few years.

Thanks. Good to hear.

In all of this discussion about what the offense is working with, it’s clear that the fans have completely memory holed the OL injuries.

 

[DuckSker]

I’ve been on the point longer than most about Jeff Sims.

Have you ever been wrong about anything?

 

[DuckSker]

Nobody celebrated Frost’s 5 win season but it sure will be funny watching the taters celebrate Rhule’s 5 win season with the worst strength of schedule in 20 fuckin years like its some big accomplishment
