Isn't Joe Brady the reason why Scott Shanle threw a huge hissy fit over Rhule being hired as Joe and Scott were buddies from their Saints days together?

Paint chips ain't your friend slim shady. At the same time MR was feeling out Jake Peetz as a QB coach he opened his Rolodex and sent out feelers to Alex Van Pelt and Garrett Riley. I don't know Rhule's connection to Van Pelt but he knew about Riley when he was OC at TCU. Now go wipe your chin and slink away.Do you want to think about that for a second before you post? Like seriously dude, you just made yourself look like the biggest fool and you don’t even realize it.
“We talked in December” means December of 2023. This was in connection with what would become the Glenn Thomas hire
You do realize Marcus Satt was hired in December 2022, right? A whole dam year before Dana and Rhule talked.
You want to school me on research again? Dana was the Head Coach of Houston on December 1; 2022 (the day Satt was announced) . Dana coached a full dam season as head coach in 2023. Went 4-8. You trying to claim Matt tried to offer him the OC when he was HC @ a then P5 school? Dana was prepping his team for bowl game the day Marcus was hired
When people talk about Dana being Matt’s first choice, it’s in reference to Glenn’s job. GTFO with your weakass claims son. I don’t know if I’m more embarrassed for you or the people that liked your rant that was completely dead wrong!!!
Some of you people make up so much crap, that it’s embarrassing that we are in the same fan base. I’m soooo embarrassed for you. So embarrassed. #factcheck
His lazy route in the endzone cost us a W his freshman year. The QB got blamed on this board for the INT but multiple former players said it was on Coleman.
the coaching staff rightfully got the most criticism for that play
didn't help that the QB in question called his own number the play before, ignoring the play call
I wish I could say which play this was but it happened multiple times to multiple QBs, so… too many options.
purdy INT on the goal line vs maryland.
no other NU QB ignored a playcall and ran his own (per Rhule in the postgame presser). just purdy.
the INT was 100% on the coaching staff. preposterous call in that situation, same result as Week 0 with the same concept. just flat out idiotic.
purdy (and coleman) aren't blameless, but they should've never been put in that spot even though purdy made an extremely me-first glory hog selfish decision the snap before.

Wrong play. I’m too lazy to go back and find the one I’m talking about but I remember the play you’re talking about. That wasn’t it. Don’t remember which QB it was. Might have been Sims.
How can you look at that replay and not say the WR ran a lazy route? It was 3rd and goal from the 7, less than 4 minutes to go in the game, you just drove a good distance to set up the winning TD. IF Coleman runs the strong slant and just runs the route, the ball hits him at the one and he walks in. the CB was dropping already toward the end zone and had already given up his inside leverage.
Even if you want to blame Purdy or the staff. How about getting a tackle anywhere on Maryland's last drive. Or Tommy Hill not looking like a chump on at least 3 plays, including a 3rd and 10 play where he was called for PI.

It was a lazy route - the norm under our GA WR coach
He should’ve never had to run it. And purdy was never throwing it to him (predetermined to the corner).
Abysmal situational coaching with a helping of selfishness from purdy calling his own number the play before.
Whole team collapsed after that, just like always.
Maybe, but let's assume that Purdy was throwing the corner route. The lazy route left the corner in a place where he could intercept the ball. A sharp route by Coleman clears the CB from the area and leaves Billy Kemp 1 on 1.
No assumption
He was throwing the corner
Yes, that’s how the concept is drawn up.
What you saw is what it looks like when imbeciles (satt) and laughing stocks (McGuire) are in charge of ensuring it’s executed.
I think you put too much on the WR coach and the OC. The play design is what it is, even if they, the coaches, are as incompetent as you believe, the concept was clear to even you and I. Coleman runs the slant, Kemp runs the corner. By November the imbeciles and the laughing stocks in charge of ensuring it is executed are not on the field to ensure that Coleman runs the slant as expected. Again, many plays that game were executed, perhaps even this one at some point during the game, the players have to execute the play.
So I graduated from UNO and UNMC. Which basically makes us both public school products. You don’t seem to have a point that is rational.
Again.
I was like yay High Schools! (Yessir I am a Spartan)
Yay, college! I am a Husker Alumni
There's some truth in that as well. We remember the ones who transfer and improve. We forget about the others. And on that note, there are a lot of hot shot recruits who entered the portal and could be the subject of "Where are they now" investigations. Probably 20 guys in the last 10 years who left and never even found a place to play. Maybe more.
Damn right. Second chances? Time for reflection while you're sitting out last season? Or just thriving in a totally different environment and team culture? Any of those things could prove true for Coleman. We shall see.
You were posting coach speak. Rhule is more forthcoming than most and has been criticized for that as well. But we cannot put too much into what coaches say about players. What was he supposed to do? Trash the guy? Same is true of player comments about coaches-- they say the best and think the rest. When a player is interviewed the last thing a guy is going to do is say something that will get him in trouble with the coaches. Unless the player is an idiot.
Why not? The only reason I can think of is that the situation simply doesn't arise very often. The Lions are replacing two of their three coordinators. Frank brought in two new coordinators for his last year. Just two I thought of. Might happen more than you realize. Or are you just implying that Rhule should have been fired? Not sure what your angle is on this one.
This is great info. The kid is a raw prospect, misses both springs, and gets limited reps before his sophomore season. Then gets down on the situation (very common). I think this sums it up pretty well.
I'll call B.S. on this one. You don't want MR to be successful and whenever there is any success then you want the credit going to someone else.
I swear. Just about every thread that goes longer than four pages has some sort of personal back & forth or goes to the inevitable political bullsh*t.
you seem to conveniently ignore the middle of the 2023 season, when nobody on this board was giving more credit to Matt Rhule than me.
All thanks be to governor Jim Pillen for bringing in Troy Dannen to bring in Dana Holgorsen to save the program! Who is MR??
pillen's groveling texts to trev alberts remain the single most embarrassingly beta thing I've ever seen
Not a big fan of Pillen overall, but if he actually brings down property taxes in Nebraska I’ll view him as a net positive. I guess…
