So Rhule is deficient in his connections and isn't able to convince portal players to come here?
Why are we paying him so well? This is the portal era. If he can't bring in that kind if player we are never going to catch up.
Rhule's biggest mistake
- Thread starter Husker.Wed._rivals
- Start date

He was in the NFL. What connections were going to land him a star QB? What QB with a other winning options would have transferred to NU? Answer:NONE. Get to a bowl and we might have better options but transfer QBs want to go where they’re sure they’re going to start AND win.
Tony White I would say has more talent to work with and isn’t missing the single most important guy on the team. Your troll level=expert.
BS he was the best we could get. There were 50 guys out there that were better, and I've provided that list on here before.
Exactly, the excuses the apologists come up with are somehow worse than the actual facts.
Best we could get WHo WAS WILLING TO JOIN A PROGRAM THAT HAD LOST 6 YEARS IN A ROW. Context matters. 50? Really? Exaggerate much? Which other available top transfer QB was going to join our program with 6 losing seasons in a row and at that time a returning starter in Casey Thompson. Give me one. It wasn’t going to happen. Top QBs don’t transfer for that last year or two to complete rebuilds
I heard a story one time where Rhule heard his daughter yell "come here daddy!", and Rhule said, "I will be there in one second honey!". But then Rhule took 37 seconds to go find her.
Trev Alberts needs to act now and end this dumpster fire.

Okay I'll provide the list once again. And no, I wasn't exaggerating one bit. There were a ton of options out there and Rhule chose the very worst one. I would have taken any of the top 50 over what Sims has provided. https://www.on3.com/transfer-portal/top/football/2023/?position=qb
Plus, Casey pretty much pulled a “Gebbia” and transferred right at the start of fall camp. Not so much before the start of the season, but close enough to cause them to not be able to fill his spot with someone of his stature. Again, Nebraska was playing from behind to start the year. Kids keep screwing this team over because they don’t want to put in the work and or just wait for their turn (which is guaranteed to happen every year there at Nebraska).
This happens to every team. It's up to the coaches to do a better job of keeping guys or going out and finding a suitable replacement. We didn't do that this year and we're suffering the consequences.
Unless Thompson was bringing Trey back with him...he would have been terrible in this system. He did both sides a favor leaving.
Sure didn't seem like it last year.
Yeah, and if anyone disagrees call them a troll. That's always a sure sign of lacking an argument. Just lob the troll bomb.
Plenty. Rhule and staff didn't handle his departure well at all. And we also didn't have a suitable replacement. We picked Sims for some godforsaken reason and we failed to get Hornsby.
Texas State has a much better QB than we've got. He would have faced less competition here.
I mean the defense did improve with Busch as coordinator. So I think what you said doesn't hold much weight
we could put Mahomes back there and he'd get annihilated. No O-Line to protect, and no WR's to throw to. Not a fixable situation. We're gonna have to take our medicine this year.
Hornsby is awful. Want to make a case for a QB we probably should have kept, id argue Torres. He is really young and has a great arm.
He’s the back up IWC but when he’s been in, he’s looked very good. And actually started a few games when starter was down and did very well…
High QB rating. No TO. High competition rate. He’s not a duel threat but would have been better to have on the roster then Sims. Again, he’s playing at a lower level but UIW was #4 before last week. And I think we have a few QBs on the team that he’s better than. And no, HH isn’t one of those.

Not necessarily. But I bet he feels stupid having to go this deep into his depth chart.
