Rhule so far exceeding expectations
- Thread starter HBK4life_rivals100467
- Start date
The HS and portal class Rhule and his staff have put together in such a short time is incredible. Now if they can develop and coach half as good as they've recruited the future is looking good.
Has anyone seen an updated portal ranking? Gotta be close to top 10 with the latest 4 and 5 stars.
Keeping Frost for his fifth year whether the majority of us didn’t want or not, it is ending up being worth getting the hire that Trev chose.
spring game should be full go the whole 60mins
protect the sure-fire guys (of which there are very, very few) by getting them out early & see what the other 110 guys are made of
any worries about injury, attrition, etc are out the window

It's current...
Recruit - #23
Transfer - #18
Overall - #27
If we dropped, it's because a team(s) above us also added a player(s).
It’s current, but it looks like not all of the transfers have been reranked. It seems to me those who just have their HS ranking listed aren’t counted in the rerank.
I could be wrong, but I don’t think I am. Once all of the transfers have been reranked I believe our transfer portal ranking will improve as well improving our overall score.
Literally hasn't done anything. Not a single game played yet. I'm high on Rhule but to say he has exceeded expectations at this point is setting a real low bar.
I have been very impressed with what I have seen out of Rhule so far, but its tough for me to say he is exceeding expectations. He was brought to restore NU to a winning, respectable program. While you have to win the off-season to do that, we have been led to believe we won the off-season for the past 10 years, but the results on the field have told a different story. We all have our opinions on what "exceeding" expectations means, but I'm refraining on opining on that until the team has played some games.
Right, well HBK, double my salary &: I'll smile & work really hard! I heard Charlie McBride say on Hail Varsity one day that coaching at Nebraska and be successful can be very rewarding financially! How about that, a coaching staff that wants to be here and doesn't feel entitled! And recruits!
What part of putting in the work on the recruiting trail. Taking a class from 68th to top 25, doing all the PR work, hitting every HS in the state, meeting all the local coaches etc. is hard to understand? I said I hope the coaching and developing is close to the same strength as the rest. But if you don't see that then I can't help you. Ultimately, he will be judged by wins on the field. No ****. But so far, he has exceeded my expectations in every other area. Trev's as well.

He'll "Exceed Expectations" if we win 6 games, IMHO.
Talent acquisition has been Okay (but by no means Elite) for the amount of time he's had, and the effort is there. Not skipping 5-Star visits hungover. So that's good.
And, we have a fairly reasonable schedule. I'd take .500 ball at this point, honestly. Show some life next couple years and maybe sign some better players...
At the end of the day though it's gonna be every bit as much about Money as Rhule. Gonna need to spend like the best if we realistically wanna be able to compete with the best...

Trev Alberts on radio: Matt Rhule "far surpasses" A.D.'s expectations in terms of work ethic
Nebraska athletic director Trev Alberts tells statewide radio audience that Matt Rhule's work ethic good for entire athletic department.
Of course, that’s to be expected. Rhule has been on the job for two months. The honeymoon period is in full bloom.
“Well, it’s been fun to watch his staff work,” Alberts said. “It’s been a challenge — when I say ‘challenge,’ that’s the wrong word — it’s been great for our administrative staff as well. This (coaching staff) is a group of workers. They’re passionate. They’ve got a vision. They push. And they’re leading the way culturally in terms of work ethic within our department. I think that’s really important.
“It all starts at the top. It starts with coach Matt Rhule. It’s just been wonderful.”
Alberts noted he spent Monday in Omaha with Rhule meeting with donors.
“His ability to communicate and connect with people is really remarkable,” the A.D. said. “Obviously, it’s a football coach, and he has to win. But you start with creating relationships.
“Those aren’t just relationships with the administration, it’s not just relationships with donors — it’s relationships with high school coaches, it’s relationships with prospective student-athletes and their parents. I’m just grateful to coach Rhule for his hard work.”
During the school’s hiring process that ultimately landed Rhule, Alberts mentioned to the coach that Nebraska “is a job you’ve got to work at.”
“Let me tell you something, he’s far surpassed my expectations in terms of work pace,” Alberts said. “Man, it’s been great to watch.”
Alberts also appreciates that Rhule and his staff have wrapped their arms around Nebraska’s storied gridiron tradition, noting Rhule has had multiple conversations with former Husker head coaches Tom Osborne and Frank Solich “just trying to pick their brains on what worked, and what didn’t work.”
