Knowing the clowns that run this university, I say yes. He deserves another 5 or 6 years, He's building. The admin knows this. Be patient. He will surpise in year 4. Give Matt time. Look at what he did at Temple. He is fine. Give Matt a chance. He will not go 2-5 in his last seven this year. No way! Mark it down. Matt Kenneth Rhule is on the right path. Good hire. Great coach! GBR!! As an alum, I support the man. He will be fine. Relax with the lifetime .429 wining pecentage and backwards hat, slob, stealer, 104th recruiting class crap.. He is A Husker ( and a great coach) all the way! Support the man!

I really wish him well. He has been a successful coach on all levels including pro, and deserves better than this fanbase ripping on his 19-19 record entering year 4. He won 2 out of his last 7. It will get better. Be patient. Trust in Matt's process.

After 25 years on the hamster wheel, I'm convinced that this program's ills can't be fixed by a coach. All coaches publicly speak to the vastness of resources, etc, but I guarantee that every coach since Osborne has been handcuffed in one or many aspects. The program can only be fixed by the incompetent administration from the Governor all the way down the ladder. But since this collective group of people can never get out of their own way . . .

Shat Stool will never see 7 wins again for the rest of his pathetic life.

5 is the ceiling and if he hits that, he'll keep his job because of the exorbitant buyout courtesy of yogurt.

Is there any other winning program who is notorious for being "the nicest fans"?

Feels like things you never hear about Ohio State, Alabama, Georgia, etc

The worst part of this site is its troll quality. Other team's sites often have funny, insightful jousting from other team's fans.

I miss the Colorado d-bags. At least we had a mutual hate for each other and could argue and fight. K-State was fun to ridicule. Oklahoma fans brought a good love-hate-respect rivalry. Texas brought out the best of anger in NU fans.

This guy is a limp wristed clown. Won't claim a team because he's too embarrassed to do so and is lower on the pecking order than a K-State short guy we used to tie to the flagpole after school.

Yes. But…it depends on the losses. Qualifying for a Bowl Game would appear to be a must.

Getting beat 4-5 times by 21 to 35 points, then the answer is no.

I want Coach Rhule to finish a successful Coaching Career with the Huskers. I really do. But the Fan Base Energy Level is arguably at an all time low. Only Winning solves that. There will be a lot of pressure this season. We won’t enter the season favored to Win many of the Big 10 games.

There is enough talent there to get it done. They just need to play to it.

As a college coach, he has a .500 record (for now) and hasn't beaten a ranked team (#24 Navy) since Obama was president.

As a pro coach, he was drummed out of Carolina with torches and pitchforks after 2 seasons and change with one of the lowest winning percentages in NFL history.

No one will ever call Matt Rhule a success in any way, shape or form. He is a stone cold loser who deserves to have rancid produce hurled at him whenever he shows his face in public.

Wins and losses don’t matter to the people making the decisions. Profitability is what matters to the university. Is the football still kicking up money to the university? Is the football program able to build assets for the university that will generate money outside of football? How much further is that getting in jeopardy of stopping

If interest and fan support continues to decline like it is, you have to fire Matt. You can’t afford the ship to sink from an earnings perspective. USA Today just valued the football program as #10 in highest financial value. The school can not allow that to drop significantly. If we are talking basketball in November, with hardly any focus on football that will be the end of it. If we have a small crowd 11/21 against Ohio state because we are 4-6 with being blown out by Indiana and Oregon, will that scare the admin?

so the question is what’s going to bring back fan support to where it was? 7-6 ain’t doing it especially if that 7th win comes in a crappy bowl vs some crappy team.

Matt doesn’t have any credit left and he never really had any equity. He used it the first 3 years, he used it when he cancelled the spring game last year; hell he used it when he made Troy cancel the UT game. Before he was a clown that made us laugh. Now he’s a clown we laugh at.

And if you made it this far, first I’m sorry for being so long winded. Business, finance, and sports are my passion.

but the thing that is sometimes hard to understand by fans, is that universities/ sports owners mostly don’t care about winning. They want to make money. the only way to do that is to have a large market that cares. And for 99% of sports the only way to make them care is to win. We’ve sort of proven we care win or lose. But now, now it’s coming to a point a lot don’t or are at least losing our interest

On this board I've heard Rhule accused of:

1. Not wanting to win badly enough (or at all)
2. Wearing his hat backwards and looking like a fool
3. Not being committed to Nebraska
4. Being a pink p* hat type guy who's wife made him stay
5. Being fat and happy with all his money - greedy for more

I won't dispute or argue any of it. But it comes down to only one thing: We are witnessing the Peter Principle in real time. The man has been promoted to a level of incompetence. Happens to people all the time time - they climb the ladder and one day realize "Oh crap. I'm in over my head" (or others recognize it).

Shame on Nebraska for seeing the Peter Principle happen to Rhule at Carolina and thinking "Well, this guy utterly failed leading the IT Department (Carolina Panthers), let's just have him lead the Marketing department (Nebraska) and hope it works with a new environment.." Ugh

You are arguing with yourself. Rehab should be in your future. I hope you get help. I don’t like to see anyone in Husker nation struggle like your sorry ***

I posted this exact thing a few weeks back when we were discussing why he hasn't worked out. You said it a lot better and more in depth than I did, though. I 100% think there is something to it. To add to your analogy, being successful running the mail room (Temple & Baylor) does not necessarily make you ready to lead the entire Marketing department (Nebraska).

Fred found an identity that works... unless Matt figures that out you will see no comparison from me. Listening to Holgerson talk about our new qb "extending plays" makes me think... "Great, here we are in year 4 and we are still trying to find out if the key fits!" While Indiana is over there on cruise control in year 3.

7-6 would be a mini miracle. We all want him to win but the product on the field hasn't been good. Hard to be supportive when you get dominated by teams you should beat.

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."
