Entire coaching staff

Obvious answer. I will say though that at this point in their careers, Rourke is a better QB than Raiola.
He’s part of the problem. Anybody who thinks he was going to not have freshman games starting in the P5 was delusional. Our OC sure as hell isn’t helping him with his game plan.
You aren't wrong but his performance is a result of bigger issues with blocking and separation.
You can see him dumping early repeatedly.
Happens too often around here post Osborne. Skip the byes and wait a week to start and end the season a week early because nothing gets done during a bye week here.
Not right off hand, back then they didn’t have that many bye weeks but there were times where Nebraska had a week off and they’d struggle in the next game, plus it’s been over 25 years since to was coach , I’m looking back into to 70,s and 80,s
Honest question: In the last 20 years, have we ever played good coming off a bye week? Too lazy to go back and look.
Nothing. Matt Rhule can say whatever he wants. For whatever reason, and there are a lot of them, his team was not ready. End of story. They were not ready. They were outclassed.
Yep, it has nothing to do with Rhule just something we were discussing during the game. I found some time to look, and over the last 20 years we have 15 wins and 10 losses after a bye. Pelini was good. Last 10 years, 5 wins and 6 losses after a bye with the average win by 12 points and the average loss by 14.4 without the latest Indiana game. With Saturday's game included the average loss goes up to 20 points. So, not as bad as expected but still very disappointed in the staffs prep for the game on Saturday. Interesting to note: We have played Indiana the most following a bye week in the last 10 years. 4 times and we are 2-2.
k-state had nothing to due with it. but remember we took a similar shelling at provo, although that one was really odd. sometimes it happens without expectation or good reason.
as for iu, i was a season ticket holder there back when they were pretty decent under bill mallory. the school (alums) is wealthy. billions in their foundation. they won't let their coach go without a fight. it's a great place to live. beautiful actually. low expectations. b10 schedule. i don't know why he would leave for florida, fsu, or ou other than pure hubris, which, granted, he seems well endowed.
bill snyder hated byes. said the team's schedule got all out of whack. so there's that too.

It depends on what he wants. If he can recruit at or near Ohio State levels, the rest will take care of itself. MF does not lack confidence in himself. So then it becomes a matter of legacy. I am the a hole who put these miserable Hoosiers on the map. Let’s see the designs for the statue and what font you plan on using when you name the field after me.
Good point!Of his 49 losses, probably 15 came against Okla, Miami, FSU, Colorado, UCLA. Many of the losses were in bowl games with 4-5 weeks between the regular season and the bowl game.
