The DC doesn’t have to rely on QBs. He also doesn’t have to worry about his players giving the ball away.
White also recognized who his best MLB were and didn’t try to replace them with transfers. They moved CT and Torres was maybe the best one on the team.

Torres might be difficult to judge but I’m telling you the kids legit at UIW. He’s out playing Calzada who was the former A&M QB who beat Bama

I know what poster you're talking about and he has a history of embellishing things, and his criteria for a 10% success rate was lacking in the reasoning department. If you compared these transfer players to what we have at the qb position now on our roster as a measure of success, you'd have closer to an 80% success rate.
You're not upset that Rhule didn't get an okay QB. You're just upset that he got a bad one.

You're right. It depends what measurements you're using as "success".

I understand why they do, but, sometimes, protecting players that simply make some really bad plays (happens in sports) is cringeworthy.
That is to the media...

It is different during meetings and practice.

Shoot, I coached lame *** HS ball and we did that ****. Talking to parents "Oh yeah, us coaches really messed up today and these boys really played their hearts out"

Then in the locker room it was "You think ANY girl is going to a dance with you when you play like that? My god, come on man, make a freaking tackle"

Rhule said from the beginning that he wanted a Qb run threat. Torrez was not that. Torrez wanted to play and it didn’t look like he would so he left.

With even just an okay qb, we have a much better record this year and I'd probably have a much more favorable outlook on Rhule. It was a massive failure to not have something at the most important position on the field.

Agree. Hindsight says Sims clearly wasn’t the answer and IMO CT’s late defection really screwed us over. If he announces in December he’s leaving it would have changed dramatically how our QB situation was viewed IMO. Water under the bridge. Need to try to find QB in the portal this go round.

BTW: until he proves otherwise this year, I still think Purdy might be a guy who could be that okay QB.

Thoughts on the long game with Rhule?

Not just this season.

The coaches and Rhule should take the blame. When offense sucks you take the points. Should have kicked field goal twice

Not to bludgeon the deceased equine, but TO was 'worth his weight, and he bemoaned a lack of execution, whenever it happened and was obvious in games.
I like the cut of your jib, ha. Yeah coaches point out stuff like that but don't generally call dudes out .

We had a guy here at work who was in charge of a department. When anything went wrong due to his own neglect he would say he takes full responsibility. That seemed to quell any trouble that was coming his way, he came off at valiant.
In fact, he didn't really take responsibility for anything, he just said he did, it had no real meaning. He didn't compensate the company for undue labor or material. It was just a ruse. I will say its a good move.

Yes, I remember Aaron Taylor, All American center saying T.O. came to him on the bench in his early Husker career & said "we put you in there to do a job, now do it"! I guess it matters who said it! Taylor didn't forget!😊😊
