Preach on brother Rhule!!
The word "leaked" implies this was done without Rhule's knowledge... 
I like it, but I'm not entirely convinced it was "leaked".

If you can't get behind that mofo you are cheering for and playing for the wrong team man.

Who cares?

Kinda what I was thinking watching the first half. Not gonna be a second half let down after that….
WIsh I could've seen that when I was contemplating some prop bets for the 2nd half...
If the standard is too high, then leave!!!
That is money right there. Love to see and hear it.

Lets beat somebody with a pulse in year 3 before we call him "that mofo". He doesn't have a single high quality win and he has been paid 10 million. Best win is a win against 2024 Colorado at home. And we were mere seconds from Cincinnati attempting a game tying field goal.
Good thing it wasn’t directed at you. You don’t understand the message obviously. It’s for the players not you. You mean nothing
Then maybe don’t use yore challenge on a non safety. Look confident and competent in what you’re doing. Stop flexing your shoulders and bitching at refs for no reason. Use it when it matters.
I thought there was a chance on the overturn of the safety. The QB took the hit from his offensive lineman at the 1 1/2 yard line, bounced back into the end zone, reset his feet and started to run again where he was tackled in the end zone. If a runner reaches the line to gain but isn't tackled to the ground then decides to run backward and ends up losing yards, they don't give him the forward progress, he loses the yards previously gained.
F-off! There is always one who just has to be negative about everything. It's about what he's teaching them, he's not just hear for the paycheck like that Iowa coach.
Take it easy on the guy. He actually lives 1 mile from the stadium. 1 mile! Doesn't go to games though. Kind of odd, isn't it?
It was a good challenge. Forward progress definitely wasn't at the 1. The runner regathered and made an attempt again and was stopped directly on the goal line.
Obviously you didn’t watch replay or understand the rules. Qb restablished himself as a runner. Challenge imo was one of his better ones.
People who say he's preaching don't understand. Rhule has built relationships with his players. They respect him and they agree with his message. The fact that there was no let down in the second half proves all of that.
Well said. That "beat someone with a pulse" first is exactly the kind of loser mentality that Rhule is trying to get rid of within his program. Thank God that stuff is limited to just a small portion of the fan base.
Agreed. That QB stepped back and started again. He wasn't even being touched by anyone when he reset his feet. It should have been a safety, but for some reason officials usually are pretty reluctant to call a play a safety. It seems like it's got to be pretty obvious for a safety to be called.
On a normal run play the zebras would have blown the whistle earlier and Akron would have assessed the negative yardage. And I suspect it's hard on replay to know when the whistle was blown. At some point the ball advanced beyond the goal line. But for sure another ref might have called the safety.
I know for sure the whistle didn't blow on the initial hit at the 1 and when he bounced back into the end zone. Which is where they spotted the ball, they didn't spot it where the eventual tackle was made.
I guess it's a good rah rah speech and I like the general message, but some very confusing/conflicting points. Go on and on about "I don't care about the freakin score" then turn right around and go on and on about "we've got a chance to pitch a shut out." Which is it? "I don't care about the score, I care about the tape. Did I care about the fumble? No. I don't care about the play, I care about the next play." What the hell does that even mean?

Journalism 101. Using sensational works like "leaked" in headlines = clicks
From looking at the replay, he advanced the ball out, but only to about the 1 foot line.
The basis for the challenge was that he gathered his feet and started to run again. They gave him forward progress to the point of the initial contact. Even if he made it out of the end zone, the ball should have been spotted closer to the goal line. It is irrelevant since the safety took place anyway. I just don't think it was a huge mistake to challenge the play, as the poster implied.
I think it meant that he has seen the team dick around with a lead in the second half and he didn't want them to do that. Akron of course had nothing to say about how things played out.
Agreed. My initial was safety. But then if no safety you gotta put the ball at the 1 inch line rather than than the 1 yd line. But then again they spotted us short and them long all game
His comments are actually spot on. You coach to the process and the last play in the rear view mirror. TO preached the same thing.
Welp. It worked.
Say what you want about the opponent, it worked.
The hardest thing to change in ANY organization is the culture.
This program has accepted and embraced mediocrity for a long, long, long time now.
Starting with the administration and then the coaching staff, and finally showing up in the players on the field.
You know what that looks like?
The following sampling of teams ranging from barely mediocre to dogshit hanging around all game and/or beating us. (not an exhaustive list)
Nebraska 10, Iowa 13
Nebraska 10, Minnesota 13
Nebraska 28, Northwestern 31
Nebraska 10, Iowa 13
Nebraska 14, Colorado 36
Nebraska 42, Georgia Southern 45
Nebraska 14, Rutgers 13
Nebraska 28, Buffalo 3
Nebraska 35, South Alabama 21
Nebraska 31, Colorado 34
Nebraska 19, Troy 24
Nebraska 43, Arkansas State 36
Nebraska 17, NIU 21
That is what he was getting at. The culture of mediocrity.
Maybe it was all hot air. But it didn't look like the players thought it was just a pile of coachspeak.
So are they buying it? Is the bar higher?
He asked them to do two specific things in the second half:
1) Starting units put these guys away early so we can get the lower units in and
2) Lower units take advantage of the chance your starters give you.
Both were accomplished.
What's that mean? Don't know. We will learn in conference play.
Might lose out. Might go .500. Might make a run at the division.
But we won't ever make a run at winning meaningful games until the bar is raised.
I'm optimistic that this is happening.
It seemed to me that all of the negative movement was involuntary. At no point did he voluntarily give up ground. Therefore, he gets credit for his maximum forward progress. Even if he goes down in the end zone.
