I’ve been a little perplexed by some of his chain of play calls. That said, it’s tough for us to know how much of that was a QB audibling. I believe Dana’s hands were tied with Raiola at QB.
This is also my conspiracy about the offense: Dana isn't using his playbook, nor his offense. He's using Rhule's/Satt's stuff and not necessarily by choice.

Why I subscribe to the conspiracy theory: Rhule already admitted he forced Butler into using White's system and playbook. A system Butler only had 6 months in, and didn't allow him to do his own thing. If he handcuffed 1 coordinator, it is not out of the realm of possibilities that Rhule (a confessed micromanager) has handcuffed Dana as well.

I do remember hearing about Dylan supposedly changing the plays frequently or changing the routes. If those are true too, then that's also going to alter a lot of what Dana would like to do.

I think this is a pivotal year for the offense and Dana. It is year 4 and the offense has yet to be above mediocre under Rhule. If there is not a significant improvement in the offense this year, I don't know how you can justify extending Dana when his contract expires at the end of the year. As a WVU alum, I love Dana. I've seen what his offenses can do. I haven't seen it at Nebraska.

My suspicion and what I’ve heard is that some of the redzone and short yardage plays were audibles to passes from run plays. Maybe it was legit to get out of play based on a defense but there were too many WTH moments.

That would provide some rationale for why the redzone offense was horrible for the 3rd season in a row.

My friend has a son on the team so he gets to see practices and stuff...said the OL is nasty...said the DL looks bad...

He said that freshman RB looks like a grown *** man.
Curious about the context. When was this observation made? Is it o line vs d line in pads? Workouts? Weight room? Or something I'm missing?
Thanks

The true handcuff was Dylan. Not only was his lack of mobility the issue but his propensity to keep his completion percentage up... in spite of trying to actually score/win. Totally self serving. Good riddance they're all gone!

In regards to Dana, no way he sticks around this long if he is being that micromanaged.

Maybe 10 years ago, but I'm not sure Dana is considered a hot commodity anymore. Solid, but not someone coaches are tripping over to get. So getting paid $1.2M to be micromanaged isn't such a bad gig.
I think some of the guys just get sick of it too. Like, he is really rich, he also makes great cash now. I can't imagine he cares all that much about job security.

Any updates on the second coming of Lawrence Phillips???
Anyone start a collection for bail $$$?

You ladies sure do have a problem staying on subject.

Speaking of the upcoming season...any possible chance Matty is still employed a year from now if he doesn't win in Iowa City?
I mean, he'll still be drawing a salary, but ...

Hey look...it is the iowa fan that STILL can't name even ONE meaningful game that iowa has ever played in...

Be honest...the second you posted that question and I answered it...you KNEW you ****** up, right?

And because I am not scared like you are...I will answer your questions again.

I think Rhule is gone after this season no matter what.

Do you think your coach is gone after this year when you don't win 11 games with that easy *** schedule?

Nebraska doesn't have the $$$ to can Rhule or he'd already be gone.
And his agent played Dannen like a fiddle with the extension.

I don't know if all the football program issues fall on the bad hires or on a couple of incompetent ADs?
It's pretty obvious Nebraska will never attain the stature the fans hoped for when it joined the B1G. Now the additions of Washington/USC/Oregon just makes it harder.
To answer your last question...Iowa's a 8/9 win team. Consistently an 8/9 win team since they went to the 12 game schedule.
Just looked, Huskers haven't won 8 games in one season since 2016. WOW
That .744 or whatever you've been throwing around was achieved with primarily an eleven game schedule with Ferentz in the early half of his tenure. But you already know that. It makes your argument highly deceptive.
BTW: I haven't followed social media all that close this weekend...any updates on the police blotter for current Husker players/recruits?
Or Coaches?🤣🤣
TIA

We already debunked your "he coached most of his career with an 11 game schedule" thing. That just isn't true.

Anyway, when was the last meaningful game that iowa played in?

the idiot out wandering around says "consistently wins 8/9 games"

Yet in the 20 years its been a 12 game regular season, Iowa has 6 seasons of less than 8 wins....that goes against the very definition of "consistently".

One level too high.

Again, can you name ONE meaningful game that iowa has ever played in, please?

And the child abuse is what you iowa fans have put up with your entire lives...never once having a good team to root for and just sitting back and accepting it...Just hoping that Mom will make it stop...waiting for that day that you "grow up" and can "fight back"

My thinking for the coming season is that Wade’s approach to the OL controls, there will be a build out with what worked in the run game, and Holgerson will have a QB operating the offense who is more suited to what he likes to do.

It is a truly sad program filled with nothing great, ever. The fans flock here because of how jealous they are since they have never had anything to celebrate.

Did your Grampa sit you on his lap and tell you about the days when the Huskers were competitive?

Nebraska fired HCs that won 9+ games and haven't won that many in a season since.

Damn, you fricken morons are entertaining. The rumor at the time was NDSU played Iowa when the Huskers backed out of a game vs the Bison.

I cannot pay for entertainment this good. To have this guy come on here and brag that they lost to an FCS school by only a few points and then draw his line in the sand with "Yeah....well.......uh.... well.... there's a rumor out there.....that well.... watch me make up stuff about NU....."

Oh, and then of course he thumps his chest that he just won the argument.

I am guessing we have a male between 14-16 years of age here.

He wants to tell you SO badly, but he can't. He just can't.

The ONLY meaningful game these mouth-breathers have ever played in is.... against us. We are the only thing they think about or care about 24/7 as he shows us every day.

I think when a low level FB team beats a big ten team...no matter the score...it is "beating the ****" out of them, don't you?

I am sure iowa was favored by what, 17? And it was at home, right?

Yeah, maybe NU did back out of that game...and instead hosted Oregon that weekend. Man, this is so easy.

So, would it be safe to say that the last meaningful game that iowa played in...was a home loss to some DII school??? Hahaha

My god...it is so sad. Even this season, with the schedule so easy...you STILL think 8 wins is amazing.

He put up that question thinking he was smart. Of course, I told him the last meaningful game NU played in was in the NC vs Miami...

Of course he was not expecting that answer and when I asked for his response to the same question he realized that he can't answer with any game.

What’s crazy is that he doesn’t realize nearly every person on this board has personally witnessed Nebraska in a national title game.

Exactly!

The jealousy they have is insane...

Then the "you will never be good again" thing when Indiana, the worst P5 team of all time...is 26-2 in the last two years with a title. Clearly, any school with fans that have expectations, so no iowa, can be good/great again.

After this year, when the iowa coach quits, that job will be one of the most popular jobs ever...because every coach knows there are zero expectations from the school or the fans...and they get a fat paycheck.
