Iowa - What Did We Learn?

I know some fans are like "but the money!" but honestly, that is not a concern, the only concern is having a good FB team.  And NU is getting really close to become a typical lame a$$ Big Ten team.  That can't happen.

A) You are living in a fantasy world if you don't think a $50M buyout this year or a $40M buyout next year would be hinderances to firing Rhule (especially in the NIL environment).

2) News flash:  We have been a "typical lame a$$ Big Ten team" for about 14 years.

I would have no problem with an entire new staff.

Same.  I don't see any upside to Rhule over Frost in year 2...None.

I do think money is a huge issue.  We are still paying Frost IIRC.  

Prime brought his Luis Vuitton and it shows....Rhule brought his short sleeved hoodies and it shows....He will return, but I hope he is a short leash and more of a CEO roll.  Do some pressers, kiss some babies, shake some hands, but let a new staff run the recruiting, schemes, portal etc....And for pete's sake stop the videos and pre season hype.  Stop the single digit jersey hype.  You want to keep it? Great, just don't make it the pre-season hype.

Why would it be a hindrance?  What would it stop NU from accomplishing?  

Like, NU won't be able to afford new helmets?  

That money is going to be raised by the AD from boosters.

For years this has been true. Just keep the game close into the 4th and NU will beat themselves....Stats prove this.  I think Frost and Rhule are 7-32 in one score games....

Then who is going to pay the players?  (And yes, I know $20M is going to come from NU next year, but 1890 will still run on top of that.)

Or who is going to donate the $100M or whatever for all the stadium upgrades?

Spending other people's money is easy.

Rhule has fielded the worst offensive unit in program history (2023) and now the worst special teams unit in program history (2024). 

he showed urgency and a recognition he doesn’t have the right guys around him with the Dana hire late in the season.  I think it’s fair to say that close to 50% of the remaining staff should be seriously reevaluated and either completely replaced or demoted
