Other than the usual suspects, Smart, Riley, Day, Swinney, Sark, etc, Matt weighs in as the # 15 highest paid coaches in 2025.
So you're not even *** kissing Rhule and co. You're just *** kissing the boosters?
I won't say doesn't give a fukc about winning, but he definitely doesn't that burning desire that is required.
Understanding reality isn’t kissing anybody’s ***. I’m just mature enough to realize that incessant bitching on a messsge board doesn’t change anything. We are what we are and there’s nothing you or I can do about it and honestly I don’t think firing Rhule would help even if we didn’t owe him millions. I’m resigned to the fate that I’ll die before the Huskers ever reach the level you want.
I think he cares a great deal about winning. The reality is though that he knows what a long slog we’re in for.
Well, history shows Bert won a couple BIG titles.Ummm. Bielema? Did you watch him get embarrassed last night?
nahI think he cares a great deal about winning. The reality is though that he knows what a long slog we’re in for.
When one has lost as many games as he has you just get numb to it. He excepts losing.
What’s your reason for being her? to stroke Rhule off? seriously you sound like a cuck.
In the days following the extension, did you miss all the shoutdowns aimed at people who said it was a mistake? You would have thought we shoved someone's grandmother down the stairs.
Lightning is a bottle??? Matt is in in his 3rd season here. The team is just as soft as it has been since Bo left. How many years will you give Matt? I just turned 70. Can I expect Matt to start winning more games and games against ranked opponents by the time I reach 75? I'm starting to feel like Jerry Jones. Why don't you stop judging Matt on what you hope he does and start with his record. Stats do not lie. He never has been a consistent winner. Show me where the Huskers have improved when you look at their four losses. Huskers got ran off the field by their opponent's running backs. Then in these same games the offensive line does not show up at all. What was the best win this season? Cincinnati? The seven teams the Huskers beat have a combined record of 30-49. Cincinnati and Northwestern are the only two teams with a winning record.
So you're looking at: 5-7 ------ 7-6 --------- 7-6 (likely) and ----- 6-7 (bowls included). Seems about right to me. Matt is showing some serious progress for sure.
I’m not a Bielema believer. Sorry. He talked sh## all week about Wisconsin then got depantsed by them. He’s
I haven’t “stroked Rhule” once. Not once. I’m just dealing in the reality of the situation instead venting like a 13 year old like some on here. Fire Rhule. Keep Rhule. I don’t really care. Don’t think churning coaches would matter anymore. We are what they think we are and IMO our best chance and maybe our last chance in my lifetime is for Rhule to succeed.
The only shout downs I saw were aimed at people thinking we should fire him. I saw NOBODY cheering the extension. It was unwarranted. Yeah some people see progress but none of them that I recall applauded the extension.
Washington and Illinois are home games. Washington plays bad on the road and Illinois will have a new quarterback. I like our chances in both games.
Maybe. I’ve probably about the same time left at 98.6 F as you and my thought is that maybe the best chance for me to see the Huskers win significantly is for Rhule to do it. I’m not sold on his DC but that’s for higher powers to decide.
You don’t remember the “keeps us out of the coaching carousel” posts? Or the people claiming it was necessary to keep Penn State away?
He hired a dude who had play calling responsibilities stripped from him and who almost ran EJ off. Imagine this team without EJ. Should have never got an extension.
Neither of those are calling Rhule great but I never saw those. They aren’t false statements now are they? You don’t for sure that PSU wasn’t interested before the Minnesota debacle made it impossible. Rhule would have an easier time putting together a staff and winning at PSU than he does in Lincoln. Heck, look at the interim head coach and the job he’s done. He would stay to work for Rhule?
The a$$ whipping at Minnesota happened Oct. 17 and the extension was announced Oct. 30.
Yes unless it was already done but not announced. I said immediately that it was an unnecessary move.
. I posted multiple times that it should have waited until he had proven he deserved it.That or a boy wonder. THE BOTTOMLINE THOUGH is that we’re not going to be hiring a new coach for years barring Rhule getting caught in bed with an underage prostitute. We’re pot committed.
Staff changes will definitely be forced upon this offseason. I don’t think boosters are so keen on giving $35 million to a staff with a lot of holes in it.
The more Matt over-promises and under-delivers, the more separation between the fanbase and their letting go of their monies. And rightly so.
Or someone like David Braun? If Iowa beats Nebraska and Northwestern beats Illinois (both of which could very well happen), Nebraska and Northwestern will end up with the same regular season record. Let that sink in.
It's been happening since 2017... So frustrating to know before the coin toss, that we will not be prepared.
Thank heavens Dannen shot us right in the nutsack with that extension
