Just listened to Coach Rhule's press conference. He may or may not end up being successful here, but he has me convinced that he is a good man and his players and coaches will be better for having worked with him.

I sure hope he gets this going.

Name the last "pure souled" good man that has won a national championship.

I don't believe I said he was "pure souled" or that we would have success, just that he is a good man. Even if he doesn't win, I would bet he will be mentioned by more players as having a positive impact on their lives than a win at all costs coach like Urban Meyer.

absolutely.

many programs around the country boast their staff's ability to represent a tough, disciplinarian father figure to their young men.

we might be the only one that gives our players a second mom.

Odd how a post stating something positive about Nebraska’s football coach upsets some Nebraska fans so much. Hmmm……..

Honestly, most of these guys all same the right stuff.

It is all totally different inside the coaches offices though.

If he was a good man, he would be coaching and teaching HS, making 50k a year and helping more kids, who actually need the help. He loves the pulpit and the money, even though he doesn't have a trophy of any kind. If he was a good man, he would restructure his contract to match the teams production but I assume if they magically win 7 games he'll want an extension. He jumped from Temple before mission was accomplished and jumped from Baylor before mission was accomplished and was one of the worst coaches in NFL history before falling into Trev's hapless lap.

I think Rhule is the same guy - he’s got conviction, humility and faith. Confident saying what you see is what you get.

So every college coach is not a good man…. Got it. I would say Sabens chicken **** departure from the Dolphins make him one of the most embarrassing and worst NFL coaches. But I get it. Your coach is a racist so you must vindicate yourself attacking other people you don’t know anything about personally.

Every power 4 coach is a slimeball, Saben was a slimeball, but he was great at his job. Our slimeball is utterly mediocre, maybe worse than that. You will see over the next two years. We got fleeced again and it is just the nature of some NU fans to trust authority because Bob and TO were so great, they deserved trust and patience. Rhule doesn't.

conviction? I disagree.

he's very wishy washy. says one thing & does another quite a bit. his in-game management seems anchorless. spring game canceled, spring game back on.

I think Rhule is a genuinely Nice Guy. I also think this business shows us where genuinely Nice Guys finish more often than not.

Pretty amazing how some posters are so consistently negative about pretty much everything. What a miserable existence. They need Jesus.

I find him to have conviction in his process and a belief in how to build a team and get them to a competitive point. I think he drowns out the noise - understands where we are and has confidence of where we will be. His vision for the program has been laid out to his staff and players and I believe they are executing it.

His open and honest communication to the players on their development is admirable. He is a very good ambassador of Lincoln and Husker football on the national stage.

Fair points on some of the in-game management and I was in open disagreement of the spring game decision.

What would year 3 need to look like, record-wise for Kong to say “that’s our guy!”? I felt we underperformed in 2024 and should have been good enough for top 25. I think we get back on track and hit where I was hoping to be in year 3 and that is top 15 in the country. We will either be in the playoffs or just missing them IMO.

For me to say “Rhule may not be our guy” we would have to finish outside the top 25 this year (unless we have multiple key injuries that could warrant grace).

I think we are going to see a team (players and coaches) we can be proud of in 2025!

I agree. And players play harder for people they believe in so I wouldn't doubt that he does turn it around.

In his presser he mentioned how they don’t demean players but still demand high results. It reminded me of a former co-worker who coached in Iowa. They had a couple of kids getting recruited by Iowa at the time. He was taken aback by how the coaches spoke to the players - extremely demeaning. Obviously the players respect Ferentz but it was eye-opening for everyone when they got there.

Some will say that’s how big time football is - I would disagree that it is a “must” in leadership to treat people that way to get results.

In just two years he has essentially turned over his entire handpicked staff

We need to beat Michigan (true frosh QB, 7-5 last year, not sure they’re even good) or pennst for me to believe we are anywhere close to the path to meaningful seasons

Schedule this year makes the entire Big 12 blush

Michigan game is a big one circled for me also. At home - needs to happen. Should be a Colorado-esque atmosphere and hoping for a repeat of the last time I saw Michigan play in Lincoln where they left with an L.

1 of 2-3 top 25 teams we’ll see all year

And no guarantee they finish the season there

If we can’t win 9+ with this schedule it’s time to move on

What Big 12 schedule has a Michigan, Penn St and USC on it.. Typical Kong comment.

Agree non conference is weak.

Pennst is the only playoff contender on our schedule.

Every Big 12 team can say the same for theirs - 1 contender and 11 non-contenders
