Well, I suppose one could put some of the blame on the head coach - but that means you are overlooking the impact of the white pants.
Put this on Matt Rhule.

- Start date
We’ll get to check out the 5-7 thing, I think…. Particularly when Raiola transfers….
I would make Matt wear a photo of the scoreboard pinned to his shirt all week until the Buckeye game.
Why was Cignetti able to do it his first year and some people still give Rhuke a pass because he still has some of Frost’s player. Rhule is the coach. Get the players he needs to win.
You think Bama fans are going to give him two years? They already want him gone.
Making amends with Solich doesn’t seem to have worked. Maybe we could try naming the South End Zone after Cosgrove next?
Name them both after him. His defenses let enough teams into them so he deserves some recognition.
I’m not a huge fan of mid-season firings. But if Rhule thinks there’s something to be gained by cutting someone(s) loose mid-season I guess we will see how that works. (not expecting this to happen) That being said, Satt and Foley have to be gone by season’s end. What more does anyone need to see…
Hindsight is 20/20 but Rhule should have brought in a lot of transfers last year purged all of the upper class men from the frost era, still way too many of them have a deafest attitude anytime things go bad, I wouldn’t have had a problem going with 2 wins last year and 4-5 this year, but were stuck in Groundhog Day close to a to begin bowl qualified but will probably miss out again this season
Fans are irrational, especially Bama fans, but they (admin) won’t fire him after year 1. Year 2 though…
I for one appreciate reading your takes. I’m as pissed off as any other fan with the patience talk. I know we were 5-1 coming into this game but it didn’t seem real. Didn’t pass the eye test. Now with this kick in the junk, Rhule needs to shake this up. On the surface, if you can’t trust your kicker to make a chip shot, something needs to change. Wtf are they working on at practice. Don’t get me started with the play calling or personnel decisions. Best take I heard on the WRs blocking or not so much on the perimeter, they look like they aren’t interested in doing so.
Donovan needs to hit the road too. His line keeps missing critical blocks. In fact the whole team is having issue with blocking, tackling, and separation.I’m not a huge fan of mid-season firings.

Not sure how you fix this because it points a bit deeper then coordinators and place coaches.
Yeah but… not gonna happen. Maybe if his nephew transfers and his other nephew flips his commitment.
Donovan could play, but I’m not sure he can coach. Not everyone can. It’s actually very technical.
Ron Brown. He could teach those guys how to block. Doogie Howser could learn a thing or two.
Bad route running, missing blocks taking bad angles for tackles, you can see it in their body language, it was there in the Illinois game and today’s game, players checking out on plays
But you’re referring to frost leftovers. Bullock balls out. Fidone balls out. Can’t say anything negative about Hutmacher or Robinson. Benhart is a mystery . The other receivers are all brand new.
Bullock yes….. The rest are streaky and don’t get it done in crunch time. Nash and Ty are monsters but don’t bring it at all times
Cignetti’s resume is long and impressive. He and his staff coached circles around us. I expected Raiola to struggle. I didn’t expect our D to be so atrocious.
Bama will go hard after him if they dip more this year. That Vandy loss stung.
The entire coaching staff should donate their check this week to a children's charity. And any player who played should donate their NIL money for the week
Rhule saying last year that Jeff Sims was an NFL caliber QB was a major red flag. Might have been a dumber quote than Frost's Joe Burrow quote. Rhule is in over his head here.
There’s no reason why this couldn’t be the turn around year. The only excuse he has is a freshman QB and I don’t think he’s the real problem.
We lose two good double team eaters on our D line and our starting center. This should have been the turn around year.
The red flags started after Colorado. People were blind to it or do know jack **** about football. You could see this **** from a mile away. The idiot Nebraska media could not. And the fans bought into it. Quite comical actually.
Check out Matt's head coching record over the years. That should explain everything you need to know.
The dude is 68-79 as a head football coach. His track record shows that he is not serious about winning whether he fires his buddys or not.
