More Nebbie Dysfunction

Saw they just fired their DC. Its hard to build stability and culture when you burn through multiple coordinators on both sides of the ball, as well as position coaches, all in less than three seasons. Giving Rhule that extension is looking worse by the day.

Agree, but I have to agree with that decision as their defense was a mess and they are just not tough on the interior. More heads will fall. But, to your point, yes ya can't have any consistency doing the revolving door for coaches.

The thing that makes it even more complicated now a days when you get rid of a coordinator is how many guys are going to jump ship? Do they lose as recruits not know what system they are going to play in? The trickle down affects could be brutal on this rather than just let guys develop, learn the system, and build some depth. Don't feel sorry for them

I am just struggling to see what Rhule is selling to recruits and the Bugeater fans. Lost their best QB recruit. May lose their starting QB. Fired DC. Can't beat anyone that is any good. Unless their RB is moronic, he needs to jump to the NFL now. There have been a number of defections in the portal his first two years. I suspect we will see that again. Returning talent is suspect. Schedule is BRUTAL next year. Iowa just took a shit on the 50 yard line of Memorial Stadium and Rhule watched them do it. But hey, we have a bunch of trophies from last century!!!

You could see it on Rhule's face afterwards in the presser that this one was BAD for business. He even mentioned it himself that they had most all of their uncommited recruits in town and down on the field for this game. There's no way to recover from that IMO, especially with the laughing stock and meltdowns going on on social media right now. Hyping up your recruits and bringing them into your house to watch is a great move if you win, but if you get curb stomped by your rival and all your fans disappear in the 3rd quarter you can't talk your way out of it. How many times have there been more Iowa than nebraska fans left in that stadium? You could hear the cheers and LGH chants plain as day on TV. They've gotten beat bad at home before, but their fans usually at least stick around to the end. Hearing the boos, seeing fans head for the door, seeing Matt Rhule melt down on the sideline...baaaaaaaaaaad look and I don't think they can fix all that damage.

That post game presser was a little different. Rhule had that blank stare of someone who just got slapped in the face for the first time ever. Frost had it at one point...Riley had it....
