Just ate a shit load of food, had a few drinks, and told my step dad to piss off, so I have spent the past hour hiding in the basement and drinking with my favorite cousin, who thought we should hire Mickey. We did some research on Matt Rhule and he is now just as convinced as I am that we got the right guy. We didn’t settle.
Check out these speeches below. It will be worth your time.
In a nutshell, the “values” that the so called “Tradition Coalition” want in a coach align nearly perfectly with what Rhule preaches, so it’s odd to me what the pushback is from the TC other than he’s and outsider.
Another interesting note regarding his values reflected in these speeches is that he is basically the “anti-Frost.” The same fans (myself included, admittedly), were so blinded by the facade that Frost and the media had built up that we were unable to grasp that he lacked the exact set of core values that we so badly needed and pretended he had.
1. Toughness.
2. What it means to be a man.
3. Knowing your “why?”
4. How to establish leadership
5. How to build relationships
6. How to develop winners
Frost failed miserably at every single one of these. He had us “close” based on X’s and O’s alone (10 straight losses by one score or less), but his soft skills did nothing to get us over that hump. If he combined his X’s and O’s with the core values and leadership ability of Matt Rhule, he would have had us competing for conference titles. But instead his laziness, arrogance, and compete lack of direction as far as leadership and values go held us back and drove the program even further into the ground.
Scott is still capable of being one of the better coordinators in the country. His X’s and O’s ability is actually pretty incredible. The guy was an absolute shitty leader of young men but had us on the brink of beating so many highly ranked teams over the years that I’ve lost count. But the big picture, leadership aspect was missing. He might be able to manage and motivate a position group. But he cannot manage and motivate an entire team.
I apologize for my time as a Frost apologist. I was blinded by “close,” but didn’t realize how far we really were. I always thought “damn, one more big play,” “one less missed tackle,” or “if only AM would have hung onto the damn ball,” we would be elite. After all, we played the likes of OSU, Michigan, Oklahoma, and MSU down to the wire last year. But in the end it wasn’t the missed tackle or untimely fumble or punting the wrong direction that held us back. Those things were just a symptom and a system-wide lack of culture. Our coaches taught players how to be losers, so they found ways to lose.
Here’s a few videos of Matt Rhule speaking about his core values and leadership philosophies.
He’s a good man and leader.
I think he’ll get us there if we don’t Nebraska ourselves.
Happy thanksgiving fuckers.
