    Never doubt how the influence of money on college sports corrupts everything.

    Quarterfinals: Hoiskers face Purdue as 3.5 underdog

    All I'm saying is if we had lost Matt Rhule there are other coaches out there.

    Quarterfinals: Hoiskers face Purdue as 3.5 underdog

    Naw I wasn't scared he was going to leave. If he had there are a decent number of coaches who could get Nebraska bowling or better. We could have even taken Brian Kelly, Brett Bielma. Dan Mullen to name a few who could come in and get similar if not better results. Not saying we might not have...

    That's very true. Why couldn't we just offer the new contract after the Iowa game. Sure we might have had to pay him more in the contract but he would have earned it.

    The Nebraska curse of never extend your coach until your team's season is over continues.

    Can Matt go 7-6 in year 4 and keep his job?

    Oh I know! I also know how Rhule will spin it. He's the master of spin.

    Can Matt go 7-6 in year 4 and keep his job?

    Definitly he'll keep his job. This is what he'll say: "We did great did you see how hard the schedule was this year. That 7 wins was like a 10 win season this year."

    Can you not drink Kool-aid but still be excited for season?

    I agree with you on this. And we know how Rhule is. If he gets to 6 or 7 he's going to say: "We did great did you see how hard the schedule was this year."

    Not that they all have to do with each other. Things that have hurt the product. Every time they expand the playoff the regular season gets worse and worse. With 4 it wasn't too noticeable. Now if you lose a big game in season it doesn't matter. Notre Dame can lose to NIU and still make it to...

    Can you not drink Kool-aid but still be excited for season?

    I also think Rhule kinda lost me when he brought in John Butler and either: Never thought Tony White was gonna leave so didn't worry about it. Or: Brought in John Butler and demanded he run a system he never ran. Now this year he's like it's not smart to force systems on coaches who have...

    Naw college football was mostly fine until the playoff started. (Once the fat cat cats got a small playoff they knew they could keep bumping the number up every few years.) Then NIL got approved, and completely unregulated matched with unlimited transfers. Along with the biggest conferences...

    Agreed 9 would give Rhule another extension.

    Can you not drink Kool-aid but still be excited for season?

    We'll see. If he's not running mesh again we know Rhule is still pulling the strings.

    Can you not drink Kool-aid but still be excited for season?

    Yes i'm always excited to see the players and see what's gonna happen. I've started to wonder if we can manage to get to 7 wins. 5 wins at the start. Then Rutgers late. Can the UNLV qb beat Illinois or Washington? I think its possible. I bet and won a lot of games with UNLV he's got some dog in...

    Look What Preacher Rhule Has Done to This Board

    I'm not sure we're really improving. Special teams improved. Oh wait that coach is gone. Offense got worse and defense got worse last year. Maybe offense made a small step forward thanks to Emmet but he's gone already.
