Iowa - What Did We Learn?

raiola has the pocket presence of a deaf mute

Actually, a deaf mute probably would have a sixth sense for these things.

WHY WOULD ANYONE CONSIDER FIRING RHULE?  The players are the ones screwing their own team.  

 

[VedderHusker]

You had a sense that the last play with the DR fumble was destined to be terrible just leading up to it.  Slow to get relined up after getting the 1st and then wasted another 10 seconds before snapping it.  I mean you had a TO right before the play to get the first, you reiterate to get to the line and spike it or call the next play as well as the play to get the first.  Things like that have been going on the last two years and drive me up the wall.  There are so many ways to run an offense with limited timeouts and NU can't seem to figure out how

I’m right there with you. It’s just simple situational awareness that is baffling, but I’ve come to expect it. It looks like the hustle to save crucial seconds isn’t practiced at all.

I have to think the boosters are about fed up of donating millions to this sh!+ show.  I sure would be. aTm has at least had some decent seasons.

Well who will last longer between Rhule and Fickell who I believe was extended to 2031?

 

[TGHusker]

Unless there’s a a wholesale change of this roster, I don’t see us getting any closer next year. 
Rhule’s slow development isn’t changing the culture

Bingo!  I figured one of us would bring him up. 
 

A one win gain this year isn’t good enough with our schedule. Too many games we never should have lost. The losing culture has not changed. While the D played well we could not close it out. Primary fault on the O. Choke 

I mean he's 112-58 as a HC, 52-23 as a FBS HC and 21-3 in his 2nd season with Liberty.  Has had 2 undefeated regular seasons, but lost the bowl games.

He is the "inventor" of his system.  He'd bring Korn with him.  Why not.  I thought his O would work when Frost should have been fired after 2020 and think it's work here.  But I am a self admitted biased "run the damn ball guy" with any scheme that has the word option in it anywhere.....But dude is a winner.

 

[TGHusker]

We get too cute on offense instead of running it down their throat.  Seems like the Nebraska way regardless of who is the OC.

Another thing Ruhle in his off season of soul searching needs to strongly look at is his game demeanor.  The guy just looks like he's gonna piss his pants out of nervousness 85% of the time.  Exude confidence and maybe then your team might show some as well, instead of the look of doubt after any negativity because their coach is on the sideline sweating bullets

Yep I noticed that too. He sounded like a guy who had no answers in his post game presser

It would be nice if we had 1/20th of Georgia Tech’s fight. Our team has the fight of a canary.

Live look at Nebraska "Chasing 3":

And when did he have answers? He looks lost on and off the field.

I like Chadwell too but the AD will claim major progress with Nebraska making a bowl game.  If that is the case, I want Husker media to press Dannen on what Rhule needs to do in year 3 to retain his job. 

I agree with you.  I think Chadwell might get offered the UNC job, he'd be off the board (Korn would be available as OC, but I wouldn't take him as a HC).  Rhule isn't going anywhere.  We end next year like this and he's gone.  But I do think the AD and Rhule need to sit down.  Every staff position is on the chopping block.  What is plan moving forward.  

Gut the roster like Prime.  The losing culture has to go.  To paraphrase Prime last year, blame the coaches, but y'all played the games.  Y'all accepted losing, expected to lose, did nothing to change it.  Yall are just as much to blame as the coaches....  Prime has them at 9-3.  Several potential 1st round picks.....Who started at Jackson State and went with him.  One about to win the Heisman....Not one guy on our team has experienced a wining record at NU.  When ICG muffed the punt, how many of the players said here we go....I did.  Because I've watched them sense Pelini and you can point out the one play that sealed the fate.  The way we lose is almost statistically impossible to do.  I thin it is impossible, but we lose.

In a coal mine that just alerted to no O2.......

This is where I am at.  Of course get coaches that are known for player development, strong rankings against peers, and stud recruiters but ultimately CFB is an arms race about who has the best players and deep rosters.  We lack big time in this area. Flip the roster.
