Matt Rhule

We're Husker fans. We have spent the last several years building up an immunity to hope.

47-43 record as a college head coach.

11-27 as an NFL coach

In 2015 he signed an 4-year extension with Temple to extend him through 2021 and he jumps a season later to Baylor. At Baylor, his teams never beat a ranked team.

This sounds eerily similar to Mike Riley.

Yep.. Callahan / Riley 2.0

I agree, your posting quality leaves a lot to be desired. 

Please don't confuse him with me :laughpound

I mean I dunno if he’s the right guy or not but trying to compare him to Mike Riley is a big reach.

Not the home run hire we needed

True, also means Rhule has built connections in PA and TX, his TX connections have been lauded by pundits actually, so that would help you would think. 

How good a recruiter is he? N needs consistent top 15 classes with some top 10. Until I see it, that is my main concern with him. Otherwise with good but not great recruiting classes with this guy may put us neck to neck with five other teams in the West Division, with USC ruling.

Does he retain Mickey is the ? 

in a word, No.

He has never recruited at that level. Our only hope rests in his new staff.

Mickey is fine as a WR coach and head recruiter. 

 

[Slow yer Roll]

We suffered the slings and arrows of a couple AD hires.

We suffered the slings and arrows of a couple fan base hires.

Now an admin, working together with "football heads"  across the entire industry has done the research,  and made the best pick possible. 

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

I know NU needs an influx in talent, but what types of records would make you happy with Rhule’s performance?

Maybe you need to have a look at what teams get top 10 classes these days.

I think you and I are on the same page. I would like to first get consistent development of top 20 classes and smart playing during the games. Then worry about pulling in top 10 classes. Let’s walk before we run. 

 

[Loe Doesnt Know]

This imo is a repeat mistake of a hire. Rhule will be a bust here. Karma could have been flipped with loyalty to MJ from the administration but instead the administration is repeating past mistakes and canning a loyal coach. Gotta say this repeat mistake is getting old. 

On a hopeful note, maybe MJ gets a chance at ASU with BB and BA tagging along with him. Mickey is the right choice but the blind continue leading the blind.
