What is their other choice, tear it all down again and start over again with another guy that may or may not work out?
He can be fake news (he is) and bolded can be true at the same time.
We can have our cake and eat it too with nebraska football.
...the guy has proven that he can build a program...
Also, he hasn't proven he can build a P4 program. He had a single good season at Baylor where he never beat a good team. Go look at the records of the teams he beat. There's two winning conference records in there I believe. Baylor's SOS in 2019 was dead last in the B12 and that's even with them playing two top 10 teams. That isn't a build or a rebuild.
Temple doesn't translate into major college football.
Rhule is doing what Riley and Frost did towards the end of their respective tenures. Throwing shit at the wall, babbling in front of reporters, and firing assistants hoping something will stick.
Riley's 1st (only) 3 years conference records:
3-5 Beat Minnesota, MSU, Rutgers
6-3 Beat NW, Illinois, Indiana, Purdue, Minnesota, Maryland
3-6 Beat Rutgers, Illinois, Purdue
Frost's first 3 years conference record:
3-6 Beat Minnesota, Illinois, MSU
3-6 Beat Illinois, NW, Maryland
3-5 Beat PSU, Purdue, Rutgers
Rhule's first 3 years conference record:
3-6 Beat Illinois, NW, Purdue
3-6 Beat Purdue, Rutgers, Wisconsin
4-5 Beat MSU, Maryland, NW, UCLA
There's a little bit of a pattern there...
Rhule has ZERO even remotely marquee wins in 3 years, conference or otherwise. Rhule has never in 3 years beaten a single team with a winning conference record and only ONE team with an overall winning record (8-5 NW in 2023). If you look at schedules and wins of Riley and Frost's first 3 years, they actually had much more competitive seasons than Rhule has ever had in the same time period. If you're using making a bowl game as criteria I don't know what to tell you. Non-con wins over terrible teams are the reason for that.
All this reinforces what I've been saying about Rhule. He's a great used car salesman. He says all the right things at all the right times but it's a bunch of fluff. He's all talk and no results. Just like how Frost came in as Johnny Hometown...saying he was restoring the glory and gave all the lifted Ram-driving, backward hat-wearing, 45 year old husker fans with skull decals in their back windows
HUGE natty boners, but didn't do shit as far as results. Well it's the same thing with Rhule. He had all these cool shiny ideas of how he was gonna bring back the glory, just in a new way because husker fans knew Riley and Frost's ideas weren't it. What he's done is nothing but embarrass himself with the nice "blackout" game meltdown at home against USC on national TV, let Minnesota rush their field after getting blown out, and then bring all his best recruits down on the fied to watch Iowa stomp a mudhole in his team at home. A game he said was the most important one of the season.
All talk, no results.
Fake News.
