Is Rhule Toast?

All HC contracts have a conduct clause which permits the school to terminate for cause. Dannen just needs to manufacture a scandal involving Rhule similar to the Mel Tucker sexual harassment incident and then pack his boxes.
That Rhule has a $56 million buyout, and Nebraska cant keep changing coaches every few years. Rhule was Trevs guy though, and Dannens job is tied to the success of Rhule and the football program. Rhule needs to win this year though, Dannen wont let a coach he didnt hire bring him down.
No, but next year or two, yes. He has 50 million. It’s a hobby without a big time schools pressure of winning titles or 10 games. He can get his 6 to 8 wins with a pancake schedule and keep the noise down.
you think the noise is down? This may be your dumbest post yet. And that is saying something
Do you believe Satt will be here next season and at his current pay if he is? His contract gets paid no matter what. Keeping him in the building to aid in the DH transition is a bad idea?
I hope he is not an aid to DH in transition. I hope his hands are completely off the offense. So yes. He should have been fired and not demoted. Only Nebraska does that kind of thing
Yes
He is a dunce who should not only have been thrown out on his *** instead of demoted, the University should’ve filed a restraining order against him
Don't disagree he is a dunce but what would explaining the terminology and playbook itself been like without the originator OC there to explain? DH admitted he had issues a couple of times getting the terminology out and to DR mid-game as it was. Satt certainly hasn't had DH's ear during play calling duties during games... we know this because they have seemed to have some actual feel and logic behind them most of the time.
So throw a whole new set of plays at the offense with new terminology and responsibilities 3/4 of the way through the season? You can't be serious.
Rhule has always been a fraud
The people who boast about his “program building” conveniently leave out the fact that his predecessors at both Temple and Baylor had better 4- and 3-year records than Rhule produced at each stop
Dana did say his cut a lot of the muck out of it to be fair... even he knew it was a joke.
Holgorsen has been teaching it his entire life
Its football not quantum physics
Satt’s garbage isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on
Not quantum physics but you want the offense to learn an entirely new playbook in a week and a half with new terminology and responsibilities?
If you mean whittle it down to the plays worth a crap it sounds like DH did just that and it showed. That coupled with his feel for calling a game led to the whole thing feeling better immediately. Which is why I hope the purse gets opened wide to get him to plant himself here for a couple of years.
The amount of plays that exist in football is finite. There are only so many.
No playbook is entirely different than the next. Route trees are numbered, etc.
It’s not like a native English speaker being asked to speak fluent Swedish in 8 days.
Fair enough... you make good points. Not like they will adopt the option game and throw out the blocking schemes they are already familiar with.
The result is what you’re calling the whittled down version plus what Holgorsen thinks we can run with our personnel
My gut reaction as well. I’m not a fortune teller but I consulted my Magic 8-ball and it said “outlook not so good” when asked about Rhule’s future coaching success. You want to give a guy a fighting chance but when I add everything up, I think the odds of him “succeeding” at NU are slim, so why prolong the inevitable. Trev F’d up, let’s move on only IF we have a proven winner waiting in the wings.
Doubt he is on the hot seat but the decisions he makes over the coming days will determine if he survives after next year. 6 wins will not be enough next year. I think if he wins 8 games he would be on the hot seat for most fans next year, he needs to be 9+ wins next year to be safe. If he makes bad hires to replace the guys leaving it will for sure make getting the wins harder and also put bad feelings in the fan base which will give him no room for mistakes.
If he makes bad hires and loses anything the fans will be out with pitch forks saying "I told you so"

Hot seat sure, but I think he’d get a 4th year. Probably depends on how the team looks
Rhule has another year. After next year the AD is on the hook and I'm sure he's not risking his job for a person he didn't pick
