OT: Matt Rhule to Nebraska

[Zbrod95]

Exciting offenses? That never happened with him lol

Lmfao. They had one of the best offenses in America when he was there. So did Temple.

First call he should make when hired is to Warren Buffett and get him on board for his vision.

Rhule and Cristobal

I’m a panthers fan so naturally not too happy with rhule

But I do respect him for getting another job

He could have sat on his *** and collected 34 million from us but he went and got a job

Actually, he is only collecting from Tepper and the Panthers organization (again, Tepper) In that case, I would've milked him for 100% of that buyout because of what Tepper has done to the Panthers.

If you don't see that Rhule is a great hire for Nebraska, either you are being a contrarian, or doesn't know much about football. Rhule failed in the NFL, but you can't argue with his results at the collegiate level. Dude is a builder, and he has done it in places where it isn't easy to win big. Nebraska found a solid, workmanlike coach that will not only fit in, but will have a well coached, solid program. Frost was flash, but didn't want to grind.

Nebraska's dead so doesn't matter

 

[RangerGranger]

The Panthers owe Rhule money. Thats why.

And water is wet.

But a private business talking terms with a public institution makes no sense to me. Not in this regard.

People forget the mess he inherited at Baylor with the sexual assaults. What he was able to do there in 3 years was impressive

Like with everything else, we will see in time. On the surface it’s probably a good hire. I don’t ever think Nebraska will ever become elite again though.

People have said and are saying the same thing about Miami, even with Mario as HC.

If Buffett wanted to "save" Nebraska football he could've a longggg time ago. ****, Ol' Warren hasn't even helped effectively improve their academics.

Not everyone is T. Boone Pickens or even John Ruiz- despite how we all think we'd act on this front if we had extreme wealth.

Some guys aren’t made to be nfl or nba coaches but make fantastic college coaches. I think it can be a very good hire for them

Nebraska isn't struggling because they lack funding(They have the money, they've always had the money), them leaving the Big XII and fertile recruiting grounds in Texas and the Southwest is what is hurting them. Combined with some less than optimal coaching hires, and this is what you end up with. The rise of midmajors and the expansion of TV rights also hurt NU, because the walk-on program isn't nearly as fertile as it once was. Talented kids that weren't good enough to get scholarships at major schools, but could be developed into **** good college players used to Walk-On at Nebraska, instead of going to a midmajor. That doesn't happen anymore, because everyone is on TV now, everyone gets press now. Places that were the centerpiece of their local recruiting like Omaha aren't nearly as productive as they were 30 years ago, because of depopulation.

Either Nebraska has to drastically overpay for a coach that could win **** near anywhere(Ala Urban Meyer), but be willing to deal with the PR nightmare that comes from taking a chance on a morally questionable guy, or they have to hope they hit on a guy like Rhule that has a high floor. Rhule may not be the next Tom Osborne, but he should be a **** solid coach. He's Bo Pellini, without the abrasive personality.

And if you can succeed at Temple you can succeed any…wait a second!!!

Underwhelming hire for a program with an extremely passionate fan base that has somehow been more sad and irrelevant than UM the past two decades.

 

[JD08]

Deion hardest hit.

 

[Gsugradcanefan]

I think Matt Rhule will do fine at Nebraska. Not saying he will have them competing for national championships right away, but he will get them back respectable again. He has those Texas recruiting ties from his time at Baylor so that will help tremendously.
