I don't think it should take 3 years to build a program with NIL and the portal.  If you can not make huge strides in year 1, why would I think you can in year 3?  Simply put, if you can coach, you can coach in year one.  With NIL and portal, you should be able to build a roster good enough to make a bowl game for crying out loud.  Think about it........6 wins against our schedule should not have been that tough this year.

 
These long contracts with huge guarantees/ buyouts puts a program over a barrel.  Let’s say a great lower tier coach is available but we can not afford him due to current contract with the losing coach.  It is one thing to miss with one coach but another to miss on 3 in a row and 4 out of the last 5. I don’t consider Bo to be a miss— we would all like his 9-10 win seasons again - even with his attitude. 

 
For whatever it’s worth, I still support Rhule. At this point I’m just willing to let it play out through the season but I understand many who want changes now.

That said, I’m now at a point where, while I want to go bowling, 6-6 feels like worst case scenario. If we can’t get 7, we might as well rip off the band-aid and make some pretty big changes and I’m worried 6 wins could prevent some of that in the name of “progress.”

 
I'm willing to give it until the end of the season before making any snap judgements. I have a feeling a win somewhere in the last 3 and winning a bowl game would go a long way towards easing peoples minds, especially if we make a change at OC at the end of the season.

I just think the writing is already on the wall that we don't have established position coaches that are putting the players in the best position to succeed and think the midseason collapse is evidence on the wall that even if they get rid of the OC at the end of the season there has to be more changes.  2 years is plenty to see improvement and no I don't consider 6-6 and a low level bowl game improvement at all.

Just read that NU is 100th in sacks allowed this year.  4th game with 3 or more sacks.  Raiola QBR rating was like 10.5.....Satt can't help himself and calls passes when running was working.  Perfect example from an article by Shatel:  You can't make this up.  The whole idea that Satt needs more time or is learning is BS.  THIS IS WHO HE IS.  THIS IS WHAT HE DOES.  Send this guy packing.

Maddening is the word to describe NU offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield. Twice, he was given a road map to get back in the game and took his own detour.
The first time came after the UCLA pick-six. Perhaps to settle down Raiola, NU ran the ball for four, 11, seven, four, three and two yards on consecutive plays where it faced a third-and-five on the UCLA 44.
Nebraska used three different running backs in the sequence. It didn’t take much to imagine NU getting those five yards in two plays.
Instead a pass was called and Raiola completed a two-yard pass to Jahmal Banks that had no chance to get the first down.
On fourth-and-three, another pass was dialed up and this one was incomplete.
Later, Raiola hit a big pass to Isaiah Neyor for 37 yards, but the run game took NU to the UCLA 5-yard-line for second-and-five.
Next up? You guessed it. Three straight passes, one after a time out, including a 10-yard sack on fourth down at the 5.
