Matt Rhule - Thoughts?

Why do ppl believe MJ is the only 1 that can turn it around? The same bs that was said about SF. If its MJ I will support him. But to say no one else can do it in 3 to 5 years is insane.
He can cover himself in s@#t on the sidelines if he wins as far as im concerned.
So you would rather have another experiment instead of a coach who has turned 2 programs with major problems around? Makes sense to me.
They're also apparently better without Christian McCaffery, who is a damn good football player in my opinion. Sometimes "change" whether perceived as bad or good ends up solidifying a team's resolve. Panther players might be playing for their NFL lives, which is motivating, you never know.
If a guy says Saban numbers with a 10 year guarantee then yeah I would say that’s ridiculous. Make no mistake the minimum asking price is going to be the 90 million plus that Mel Tucker got. For all of the guys not named Urban we would be insane to give that kind of deal.
Ok so the narrative changes. You keep changing **** up. Just let’s call these your facts. I’ll call it your opinion
Very good read.

Dave Aranda living off the coattails of Rhule but no way was Rhule living off the coattails of Art Briles A coach who went 32-7 in his last 3 years 2 years before Rhule… love the double standard
also let’s ignore that Rhule left the cupboard bare for Dave and maybe just maybe Rhule knew it was time to GTFO of Waco
Na, none of that could be true, right?
and none of this matters cause so many sources stating Mickey will be and is the HC

I feel good for you that he doesn't make your dong hard ...but as a coach we could do alot worse!
He and his staff better recruit like mutha's and coach even better, he's walking into a bit if a lion's den if he does take the job. Hope he works Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Texas, Indiana, Iowa and Illinois hard for players, Nebraska can pull from those states and maybe get a few ballers from even further out.
Hope he's up for it. And no, I'm not talking about his dong!

Matt Rhule has been the head coach at two D1 programs with success and has coached an NFL team for three years. Regardless of any success (and there has been success) Mickey has NOTHING IN EXPERIENCE to compare to MR. I want the guy who has been the "man" not the support staff.

That is insane revisionist history and completely untrue. Baylor was coming off a huge scandal when Ruhle got to town and the roster was gutted. The roster he won with was full of his own players and he didn’t leave the cupboard bare when he left. Why are you trying so hard to discredit Ruhle so much, even going so far as to make up stuff like this?
I agree with the coattails on both coaches. No double standard here. But MR continued to develop Arts players and he built Temple a s#$t program into a winner. He would need to bring in some great recruiters. Im not saying I would love the hire but at least he has a decent track record as a HC.Rhule fans be like

You seem to throw around the word “facts” a lot, while not actually stating facts.
LOL. Maybe. Some of what I say is obviously an opinion. But it is a fact old fart Art had Baylor rolling before he rightfully was fired. Not like Rhule didn’t inherit zero talent.
Rhule smells like greg schiano. Most of what you say about Rhule you can say about Greg. You think Greg is a great coach too? It’s your opinion and your right
Probably why they sucked Dave’s first year then.
we can keep spinning all day long.
and I’m obviously trolling some on Rhule but he just doesn’t feel like a good hire in my opinion. Not right now. He needs some time off he was absolutely awful with the Panthers and he was obviously burnt out. Let’s not go for low energy

This whole idea of making MJ wait isn't realistic. His time is now, and if we don't hire him, he will move on as a hc somewhere else.
If you were MJ, and you had other interest in being a HC somewhere else or staying on as a WR coach for some new guy, what do you think you would do? You're going to take the chance on the head coaching job while it's hot. You're going to try to take your recruits with you too.
To me, it's completely unrealistic to think you can keep MJ after what's happened and gave him a long interview and then say umm no.
It would be like letting the air out of the tires, and instead of a huge celebration, you have now MORE questions about the new guy and in a way, you removed some stability from the program instead of adding to it.
What HC offers do you think he will have? He’s staring down the barrel at a 2-7 record.
There will be no P5 jobs offering Micky the head coaching position. He will have to drop down a league or 2 if he wants to be head coach. I fully expect Micky to stay on at Nebraska as an assistant coach.
I think Mickey will get some interviews if for no other reason than to say they considered minority candidates…
No, they won't. But his agent is doing a good job of making people believe that.
When I read the analytics piece, I felt NU will not be able to retain Mickey.
I would love it if they do, but Ruhle's DB coach is also the recruiting coordinator, and it seems Matt makes the ultimate decision.
Matt also has a working relationship with several of his coaches which must make him feel comfortable.
I just don't see where Mickey, as a WR coach, would fit into Ruhle's plans, that is, if in fact, Ruhle is the new hire.
It seems Ruhle and the DB coach identify those kids they want to go after based on a set of criteria. If Mickey identifies a dynamic 6'0" wide receiver, he may not fit into their method of selecting players.
I think Ruhle feels he already has the method in place to recruit the type of players he wants so that somewhat lessens his need for retaining a tremendous recruiter in Mickey.
We shall see.
I don’t think Rhule would have any issues with keeping a guy with Mickey’s resume and recruiting results. Mickey doesn’t need to be a recruiting coordinator to justify being assistant head coach or a large salary
I realize that but the post was stated as if the DB coach being the recruiting coordinator would be a problem.
I agree. If Ruhle is retaining a coach or two, Mickey will be one of them.
If Ruhle is named HC, there will be a percentage of fans who won't like Mickey getting passed over (regardless of reason), and it would be a double-whammy for them if Mickey decides to leave as well.
The majority, I think, feel Matt has plenty of experience to run the program, so it's not as if NU is getting left with a coach that hasn't proven he can turn programs around.
I would like to see Trev make an announcement in the next few days.
IMO, if Trev hires Ruhle before Saturday, the team will be flatter than a pancake. If some of those kids really like Mickey they may feel like Mickey wasn't even given the chance to start a full year to see what he can do.
We know how kids are.

Rhule rules. He'd stomp a mudhole in the back of all our Big 10 foes. He's in my top 3.
I didn't really mean the recruiting coordinator would be a problem, I mean he and Rhule have a working relationship on the types of athletes they want to recruit and sign.
If Mickey feels he has 6 kids that he thinks would be coming to NU, and for whatever reason, Ruhle and the Recruiting Coordinator say they don't fit in our model, what is Mickey supposed to do, just stop recruiting them?
