Sounds like rhule will be the head coach and mickey is the oc, cause both are familar with the rpo.
this pretty much has been my prediction for some time, makes the most sence all things considered.
what with rhule program rebuilding record and mickey's recruiting record...
it will be a beutiful thing.....

personally I'd like to see nc state dc or houston's dc added on also..
trev and rhule need to get on that..while mickey try's to get smothers ready for mich

With the recent commitment of the RB from Louisiana, this is beginning to resemble a B1G offense.

🤮 Absolutely hate the RPO. Confuses your own team more than the defense most of the time when your receivers don't even know if they're run blocking or going out on a route at the snap.

Rpo offense would be great. Incorporate that with some smashmouth spread and the B1G won't know what to do.

Do you just hate him that much that you would rather him leave and take his recuits with him or...
Don't hate anything about him...actually quite the opposite...and I really hope he stays at Nebraska in come capacity if he's not the HC.
He's just not going to be an OC anywhere next year, whether he stays at Nebraska or goes somewhere else. That's not what he does. You read way too much into my post.

Correct, he has not been an offensive coordinator at a P5 level. I don’t even see where he served as an OC ever in his career

I think he could be an OC, I think he wants to be at least an OC somewhere to move up the ranks. Especially if you have a guy like Rhule who can help him but also override him. I just have the feeling if he is not the OC or HC, he goes somewhere else then just like Bo we try and get him back in 3-4 years if the New HC does not work out.

If that's the case and he WANTS to, well, I'd sure require seeing him steal the reigns from Whipple and implement his plan before entertaining the idea...

Nothing wrong with RPO I prefer the glance bubble stuff more than anything. As long as our main running game is not based on that.

I could see Mickey being co-OC with an experienced OC, but he wouldn't be calling the plays.

Please, please, please…not Rhule. Just like Riley, a perennial loser. He sells himself well obviously, but does not build a culture of winning and his recruiting is so so. Give me Fickell.

Posts like this make me think many of you treat Mickey as a charity case. Well, we don't want him to be the coach but maybe he could be the coach in waiting while somebody like Urban Meyer shows him the ropes. If not that, maybe he could be the co offensive coordinator, so someone can show him the ropes until he's ready. Who the f*** does that? I'll tell you who doesn't. It's teams that are serious about winning.

Oh my goodness, you do not watch football at all do you? Building a culture of winning is all that he does, and it's his players that are leading the way at Baylor this year. I'm sorry to have been harsh with you, but you needed to hear it.

the wisdom behind rhule as hc and mickey as oc is multiple.
rhule rebuilds programs but lets say he went somewhere after the rebuild?
at that point mickey will have some years as oc to be more qualified for yet another jump up to hc.
the scheme and players on the offense will be by his design, not frosts..
I'm allways looking at the big picture past present and future..

when dr tom was made a oc, he did'nt stomper off and demand to be hc. he understood the chain of command.
then when devany left he was prepaired...I see lot of the same for mickey. one day hecan take over from rhule the same way dr. tom took over from devany's rebuild...

again, big picture, past, present, future

EXCEPT, Devaney was smart enough to realize what he had in TO.

I don't think Rhule and Mickey have any kind of history together and Mickey has no record of ever calling players, so it is implausible that Rhule would make him his offensive coordinator.

I really don't get the fascination or worry about the offense. About 80% of our games are lost because our defense is ****. Offensively, the only thing causing us issues is our line. It literally doesn't matter what we run if we don't have a good line.

We don't have a bankable identity. We have an RPO for 4 years and then the next year decide to bring in a scrubby quarterback and expect a massive turnaround. Our offense wasn't recruited for this type of offense. The results are predictable

Not so fast my friend

It’s a mix of Rhule and Dave guys.

I’m hoping that if it is Rhule, he’s already working with Mickey to get things set up.

Rhule isn’t a fantastic recruiter but if he keeps Bill and Mickey on staff, I am starting to really warm up to that idea. I’ve been very critical of MR and I know I’ve pissed so many off but I do now see a scenario where this could really work

I've addressed the lines directly in my post rhule rebuilds olines and dlines like the industrial revolution..and mickey recruits them like oh....eisenhour during ww2.......plus my breif comment about the houston or nc state dc, had this covered also..

I would be happy with Rhule. He's in my top three. My only beef with him is that he's been a bit of a job hopper. Same with Kiffin. Settle in and win something somewhere, anywhere.

Me too. You could see a scenario if the Penn State job opened he’d jump ship. I know a ton of leaders that love to build but get bored when they are asked to maintain after that build. Making nothing something is an obstacle and keep on keeping in is a totally different animal.

you bet, they will have to adjust to us!!! add in some "not concerned with special teams" and we will finally end the sellout streak. fcs here we come after being kicked out of the big for fakeness.

Somebody throwing something at the wall. The kid didn’t offer anything about Rhule did he? All that interview tells me is that Whipple is gonzo which most of us already suspected. Whip’s QB’s visit to V tack should have told us that.

but he will be at nebraska
Are you certain of that? I thought his wife said, in her interview, that they had a three year guarantee which means pay, doesn't necessarily mean he will be coaching. That would up to the HC. No way you tell a new HC who he has to retain or hire. But, I could be wrong on all of this.

This is funny. Our defense the past 5 games has kept the games close. Six straight 3 and outs and the defense will be freaking exhausted. The offense is the worst offense in NCAA history. We can't pass. We can't run. We can't block. We can't even find a capable QB Nobody knows what the hell we are trying to do?

mickey was a qb, and wr coach...and other stuff for along time...if he were to jump up at NU, Im 100% more confident in him jumping up from wr coach to oc (under rhule's guidance) then jumping from wr to hc...which has been suggested multiple times by scores of peoples.

plus it's just logical to go from wr coach to oc, then wr coach to head coach..
and I'm pretty logic based...3 actions are done at 1 time..
1. retaining mickey by advancement
2. keeping mickeys recruiting skills
3. not having trev roll the dice

big picture, past, present, future, allways

We got lit the **** up by OU and Purdue. The last 5 years D has lost more games than we’ve won. Yes, the offense sucks. It is because of the line play.

I'll put it another way...lets say rhule is a raptor, and mickey is a f-35
it would make more sence in a war, and we are in a war....
to keep both

without both:
it would be like a miltless or solichless dr. tom team
it would be lesser with lesser capabilities
what Nebraska needs is a full array of weapons..

now lets say the oline needs to be a m1 abrahams and the dc needs to be a trident sub..
we go out and get them coaches

but we have the raptor and f-35 to start with, got a good base for the start of engagement.

it's about everyone working together, as a team...not just 1 over paid chap with delutions of granduer hanging out at the golf simulator, talkin bout another round.

And the LB play and the DB play and edge play with no pressure on the QB. Then throw in lack of ST and overall poor tackling. It isnt just one area.
