2023 Report Card: Year 1 Grades for every Power 5 head coach, including Deion Sanders, Matt Rhule, Hugh Freeze and Luke #2ndChoice.

"Rhule was charged with returning Nebraska back to national relevancy, and while many of the same pitfalls that have plagued the program in recent seasons (poor quarterback play, iffy in-game management and too many close losses) remained present in Year 1, the Cornhuskers remain on the right track under the former Tulane and Baylor coach.

Nebraska went 5-7, losing four consecutive one-score games to end the year, and thus failing to snap the program’s extended bowl-less streak. The offense somehow regressed this season (125th nationally in scoring, nation’s worst 31 turnovers), but Tony White’s 3-3-5 defense was one of the stingiest in the Big Ten.

Still, the program is full of hope after Rhule inked a Top 25 recruiting class, headlined by flipping 5-star quarterback Dylan Raiola from Georgia."

I can’t disagree.

In terms of his season record, C+ seems right.

In terms of how he’s been doing as our coach for the last year, I would give him an A-. He seems to be doing a lot right and it’s creating a positive feeling that I never had after Riley or Frost.

 

[ChocaEgg]

C+ is about what I'd give him. If the offense hadn't been a top-to-bottom shitshow and I had any faith in any of the offensive assistants he hired besides Raiola (wtf, right?), then it would be higher.

 

[Bootleg11]

I would give him a c+ for the season, b+ for the roster management.

When did Rhule coach at Tulane?

In Dean's wet dream

 

[2010sarenevercoming]

lmao @ them giving Deion a B. Obvious click-trolling.

I'd probably grade Rhule a bit higher at B- because the program is obviously having an amazing foundation laid, but mostly it's an incomplete with the roster & injuries situations.

 

[Kazman5k]

Giving Deion a B for wrecking Colorados roster and nose diving In conference play while giving Jeff Brohm a B+ for winning 10 games and making a conference title game is brain dead potato retarded.

 

[Adolph Coors]

A-.

 

[Baron Winnebago]

Looks right. Can't go much higher with the 0-4 finish against meh teams

 

[Faux Sean Callahan]

I mean we lost 4 straight to end the year, you hired a shit OC and there was turnovers everywhere.....

You also hired a great DC, got the OL heading the right way, signed two good classes, got your QB......

C+ seems fair.

If he hires a Co-OC/QB coach like Glen Thomas I would bump it into the B range.

Especially when so many of those had coaching blunders.

Tater Island was very impressed by Colorado's "upset" win over Nebraska. You know, the upset win where Colorado was favored by -3.0. That was an awesome upset victory, that they were favored to win.

Was interesting that they rated F1ckell a C-.

Because there was a very smart poster on TPB who told us every week that F1ckell was doing a superior coaching job to Rhule. 🤔🤔🤔

If finishing the season 1-8 after a 3-0 start is a “whimper” I’m not sure what would actually classify as a colossal failure of epic proportions.

Definitely. It's a fine grade for the season. Could have been better, probably could have a been worse. Hopefully whatever foundation has been laid will start to pay dividends this coming year

We should start calling that place Tater Island or something

 

[Husker_in_OK]

C+ is fair. He was held back by our offensive players, but he gets full responsibility for Bringing in Satt and Jeff Sims. Defense is the only reason he's graded as high as a C+. Losing 4 winnable games in a row in November probably should put him at a C if we're all being honest. That said, I feel good about him turning it around ..

Honestly I wasn’t that impressed with #2ndChoice this year. He took over a WAY better situation than Rhule did, and was only one game better in the regular season.

I honestly didn’t see a huge difference between both rosters outside rb. Their qb was better, but he wasn't very good.!
