Wild that people are upset about this. If the dude posted a picture fishing for a couple days over the weekend would they also be upset?

Nm… I’m sure they would.
Some people don't like people who post idiocy on social media, on top of this some people don't like rich people who post the cool crap they get to do while being rich and stupid, and wearing stupid hats. On top of this he is being paid by donors and hasn't done anything to earn his money that he is flaunting. I can tell you personally, that if I posted something on social media I would reflect on how it makes me look and whether I would look a rich *******, especially if I was fleecing an entire fan base. I don't personally care about him taking a break but he doesn't need to make it public as if people care what he does, especially in a stupid hat. We only care because the program is cratering, not because we like him. Even if we were 12-0, only a loser would be happy that coach was at a horse race. Hell, Cignetti just said he did one fun thing after winning the national title, and him and his staff went back to work.

It’s like the Dem’s crying because DT plays golf in West Palm Beach On a Sunday.

Nah, not even close. Trump works his *ss off and is actually accomplishing things and getting sh*t done. Rhule not so much.

I could care less what he does in his down time. Everyone needs it. It’s just the overall bad optics of this particular thing that is rubbing people wrong. Just very tone deaf, as usual from Rhule.

Ohhh the horror going to the Kentucky Derby during the off season.

If anyone of us were in the same position we’d be doing this too.

#1 : There isn't a national forum for your customers and employees to complain about you. So you would never know.
#2: Are you actively destroying your company while taking increasingly more money? That is why people are mad.
#3: Do you look stupid and flaunt your stolen wealth at the beach?

I'm glad my company's employees and customers don't get upset with me if I post a picture that I went to the beach on Saturday. I'm not a Rhule defender but geez

All of this. Again, it's not that he went to the Kentucky Derby in the offseason. It's the optics around all of it that fans are pissed off about.

When you haven’t won and you haven’t looked good doing it- maybe it’s time to stay low profile. Yes, it’s his own time, but showing off by going to all these high profile events even during game weeks just looks bad. Spending a bunch of money you really haven’t even earned yet is poor self awareness

What? What is he supposed to do with his money?

Look, I can't stand the guy and thought it was a bad hire from the start. But he earned the money. He earned it because someone (trev and then the new guy) thought he was worth it. That is on them, not on him.

He should take every penny he can possibly get. Just like a fireman would...even though neither of them are really accomplishing much.

This reminds me of a time our CEO drove his yellow Ferrari to the office on a Friday that we laid off 250 people from our corporate office. Nobody cared that he had a yellow Ferrari. It was publicly known that the guy made millions. Good for him.

But, maybe, I don't know, on that particular day, drive one of your (many) lower profile cheaper vehicles to park in your assigned parking spot right out in front of the office that all 250 people had to walk right by on their way toward unemployment.

Bad optics. Tone deaf. Just not a good look.

And yeah, that guy ended up getting fired as he took the company into bankruptcy.

Most of these places you see coach Rhule at he’s talking to the money donors, yeah the optics don’t look good to us fans but in today’s world he needs all the money he can get, unfortunately Nebraska doesn’t have a mark cuban with a open checkbook

He might not be able to coach B1G football, but he looks like he could roll a hell of a cigar.

I could hear it from the coaches themselves and you wouldn’t believe me anyway.

So, just guessing and posting it as fact then? Got it.

Just seems weird, to the rest of us anyway, that his booster meet and greets are so public. Odd that none of the other coaches seem to do that.

I heard from a pretty reliable source not going to name the person, guess you’ll just have to take my word for it but of course you won’t because your the expert
