Heinrich Haarberg
- Thread starter Redscarlet
- Start date
It was coaching malpractice to ever try and develop him into a QB. 1st red flag of the Matt Rhule era.
Matt Rhule moved him to Hback that what he played against Minnesota Rhules first game .
And yet he was our best quarterback in 2023. Pretty sad.
Sad that SF
Sad that he was SF choice for QB in 2021.
Frost sold out the program to protect his QB A-Mart) just as Rhule did. Cost them both dearly - great qbs wouldn’t consider us because Amart was untouchable.
No QB in Rhule’s tenure has won a higher percentage of games started
imagine actually being an NU fan and hating on this kid?
OP sounds like an iowa troll
HH would have been a back-up QB at UNK yet he was our starter. It didn’t have to be that way.
Ummm, Rhule brought in 2 4* Elite 11 QB’s in addition to 5* DR? Not sure you know wtf you are talking about.
But Rhule bad, I get it.
MJ and Whipple moved on from HH as QB but Rhule brought him back in to develop behind Sims
Keep stroking Haarberg’s number.
Nice piece of work at the goal line he had in the Clarkeyes game
ohh by the way you can’t come close to being true Husker fan.
Having a QB like HH or TJ is a catch 22. It forces the coaches to lean on the run game, i.e the way good teams wear down opponents. However, when the going gets tough and we need a 3rd down conversion or a game winning final drive, these guys just can’t get it done.
Haarberg was plan B. The QB he recruited the hardest committed elsewhere fairly late. That said, Haarberg was the least of our issues personnel wise.
Wouldn’t have made any difference thanks to the Girl Scout troop leader in chargeKeep stroking Haarberg’s number.

we will miss HH’s heart & attitude. A true team player.
Was Rhule not allowed to bring in his own hand selected QBs between the time he was hired and week 0, 2023?
Instead of "great QBs", how about just identifying talent and developing it? Fernando Mendoza went 1st in the draft last week and he was the lowest rated recruit for California. Taylon Green and Cole Payton weren't highly recruited either.
The way I remember it was he was the emergency backup while trying to learn WR. They should have had someone else at QB ready to play behind Sims.
HH should never have seen the field at any position. His one and only asset was straight line speed. But he went down easily after first contact, had zero “make you miss” ability, and was a turnover waiting to happen. He is a great young man and gave his all for the Big Red. But as an athlete he was a flop.
And still, we probably would have lost a couple more games in 2023 without him.

If he had better hips he would be a millionaire in the NFL right now. The epitome of a great athlete, not a great football player.
He had a couple weeks was about it in that portal era-Hired around Dec 1-and portal closed Jan 16-He had no chance to evealuate-wasnt even coaching college ball-Took a guy that was rated as a top 10 QB prospect. he did not make the total lack of depth and quality at that position=Frost did. In retrospect that entire group of portal QB's failed.
He was hired about Dec 1 and portal closed 1/16 and was already picked over.
If you blame him for that dearth of talent then your name is fitting!
Hand Selected
IDK i think a good staff could have built a system around his strengths and made him an efficient enough passer.
Ain’t hindsight a wonderful thing?
you said Rhule didn’t recruit highly rated QB’s to protect DR. That is not true based upon bringing in highly rated 4* QB’s. Picking which high schooler’s will pan out is a crap shoot and less than a 50% proposition and always has been.
Could’ve hired an OC with a QB to bring along, alsoHe had a couple weeks was about it in that portal era-Hired around Dec 1-and portal closed Jan 16-He had no chance to evealuate-wasnt even coaching college ball-Took a guy that was rated as a top 10 QB prospect. he did not make the total lack of depth and quality at that position=Frost did.

6 weeks is plenty of time to put a QB class together with the hype that comes with a new coach at a blue blood program
He produced far more than he had any business producing here
his lone TD grab this year was a game winner also
Pennsy that’s over the top negativity. TO would have found a spot for HH’s athleticism on the field. If not at QB, then TE or WR. HH really wasn’t our biggest issue. He played pretty well for us at TE this past fall. The constant trashing of the kid is disgusting.
I still think if HH goes to any other college than Nebraska, he would have been drafted in the first 7 rounds. I dont know what position, but a better staff would have developed him better and had his NFL stock much higher.
To think HH wasn't the only one.

I don’t know for sure why Rhule struggled so to fill out his staff. Was it all him or was it our own administrative dysfunction? Unfortunately the hiring cycle has sped up to the point now where schools are firing guys weeks before the end of their season to try to be first in line for their next guy. Our returning roster and recruiting class probably didn’t help our chances at hiring quality assistants either.
Hilarious thread concept
Despite OP being borderline retarded, he could've easily googled Haarberg's name to find the information he asked
But really, his threads purpose is to communicate that a member on this board lives rent free in his head and thought he'd get some easy good boy points by crying about said member
He'll no doubt respond to this with some batshit insane take

LOL, Guess you never heard of sarcasm and the history of top kong but you’ve only been on this board for mere three months.
It must have went over that peanut brain you were born with.
Better look up Humm and Ferragamo.
If an NFL team needs a special teams horse and a deep multi-position backup, I believe he has the goods to fit the bill. HH can be a caulk type player - a flexible temporary fill-in at FB/TE + P/PR/KO/KR/FG teams.
