He needs to keep Micky Joseph at all costs! Mickey is so valuable to this team, to the fans, to the school, to Nebraska. The players and fans love Mickey.
I really can’t comment or have an opinion on if this is a good or bad hire because I really don’t know Rhule’s coaching background. One thing I do want to say is that I really hope he keeps Mickey. Mickey is great for this team and for the fans. Yes, the wins didn’t come, but Mickey kept this team and fans together. He brought heart and soul back into the players and fans. I, as well as many others, seen that change when he took over for Frost. As I mentioned, I don’t know what type of coach Rhule is. So with that said, what type of offense does he like to run? Is he a good recruiter? What position does he specialize in….offense?…defense? Does he call the plays?
keeping Mickey is not fair to Rhule. Is Rhule your guy or not? It has to be his program his vision. You can't have everybody calling for him to be fired and Mickey take over after every loss. You will gurantee Rhules failure
everyone talking about his NFL career needs to chill. it’s an entirely different game. he brought Baylor to being a good football school. let’s see what he can do here
@@biglonniegruhn Agreed. Baylor was in great shape and had 1 bad year as things fell apart. He just cleaned up a couple things and enjoyed the work from the previous staff.
@@biglonniegruhn If that was true the team wouldn't have gone 7-6 the year before he got there and 1-11 the year he did. The program was in a clear nosedive. The same thing was true at Temple when he took over. He took over a program that had begun a clear and steep decline and turned it around into one of the best Group of 5 programs in the country. I'm not here to go to war with anyone, but this is a smart hire. I'll be excited to see how these comments age over the next few years.
LOL. A coach that has done well with other coaches recruits? LOL. A coach that knows he is a head coach does not stay at Western Carolina 4 years and Temple 6 years as assistants. THIS HAS BUST WRITTEN ALL OVER IT.
@@mas5867 A coach that turned around 2 seriously declining programs? A coach that worked his way up the ranks into a head coach gaining incredibly valuable experience along the way? A coach who has produced NFL talent at a way higher clip than Nebraska with way less recruiting power than Nebraska has? Yep, total bust.... doofus.
@@mas5867 Art Briles left in 2015, and Rhule went 11-3 in 2019, 4 years after Briles. Most of those players if not all of them, based on what was going on at the time at Baylor, were Rhule's. Apparently, you don't understand how time progresses. Rhule's height of success at Baylor came after he had got his own guys in there and replaced most of if not all of the Briles era both in coaches and players. Even further than that Rhule had to navigate the absolutely vile situation the Baylor program was in at the time with the sexual assault scandal. The program had lost an enormous amount of TV money from the Big 12 because of what had happened, plus all the other damage caused by it. What Rhule did at Baylor should be commended especially with the absolute shit show of a program that he inherited. Whether or not he will repeat that at Nebraska remains to be seen, but based on his history I think there is a good chance he will turn the program into a B1G contender in 3-5 years.
@Blkbyrd *"Art briles left in 2015, Rhule went 11-3 in 2019, 4 years after Briles."* I don't mean this in a bad way, but you're a dumbas*. Rhule started in 2017, not 16, which is what your comment implies. When a coach arrives nearly all the players coming in have been recruited by the previous coaches. So in 2017, fresh, sophs, juniors, seniors (all previous coaches recruits) 2018, fresh (his), sophs, junior, seniors (previous coaches recruits) 2019, fresh, sophs (his), juniors, seniors (previous coaches recruits) Now, the portal began in 2018. If you want to show us that what I typed changed because of the portal then I stand corrected. OTHERWISE, Rhule's juniors and seniors in 2019 were the previous coaches recruits. LOL. 2019. He beat NO ranked teams and lost to ALL 3 ranked teams he played. Please sit down and shut up. This was a BUST of a hire.
I think this is a great hire now. If he can keep Mickey this team will be back in the hunt faster than you think. They can raid the portal with that NIL money for a couple years and we are back in.
I cannot find the story again to provide the link. But I read just recently quotes from a speech of Rhule’s talking about the need to “hit” during practice.
Anyone who thinks this is a bad hire is either a troll or just plain stupid. We weren't going to get Urban, and we probably weren't going to get Luke Fickell. Matt Rhule was one of the top end names we could've gotten. Will it work out? I don't know, the Frost hire has taught me to be careful what you wish for, but I'm optimistic that it could work out, key word could. Right now, we needed a program builder, and Matt Rhule is just that. Everyone just needs to take a few breaths and RELAX. Also about Trev, people may point to how he ended the football and wrestling programs at UNO, but it was something that he HAD to do in order for them to move up to division 1. People may not want to hear this, but those programs were not making money. Different place, different situation. Because of that, I would say that I trust Trev to make the right decision most of the time, however tough that may be. Again, does that mean that this hire will work out? Not necessarily, especially after we were all (or at least most of us, myself included) sure that Scott Frost was the right hire, but what I'm trying to say is that people need to CALM DOWN and hope for the best, like what I am doing. I don't think Trev would've made this hire if he didn't think Matt Rhule wasn't a good head coach, at least in college. Think about it this way, no one goes into their job with the intention of getting fired, and I'm pretty sure Trev is the same way, and if he thinks that this is a good hire, I'm willing to trust him with that decision. That's all I have to say and GBR! Welcome aboard, coach Rhule!
Every Dog, Cat, Cow, Horse and Human in Nebraska swears Mickey is the next Tom Osborne! Pretty embarrassing..... People don't get that Kade Warner is the Starter on a 9-4 Kstate team. lol..
My question is... How much is the buyout? We've done this before and need to be able to eject if the plane starts going down again. I still remember when we hit "rock bottom" during the Riley era. Oh how wrong I was.
Good hire for the Huskers. I think.he will.bring this program around to winning a lot more than what we are used to. He has both offensive and defensive experience. I like the hire but you haters just have to hate.
I'm just giving him a shot, other words, I'm on the fence. The guy hasn't even "officially" stepped into the role (which'll be Monday) and folk are already chastising him...let's just wait and see before you run him out of town on a log
It's a 3-4 year turnaround at a minimum. In 3-4 years if they are competing at a high level and have winning seasons then you can say this was a good hire. Great Hire? we won't know until years 5-7. Manage your expectations, the lower you set them the happier you'll be...
The stand out Elephant in the room. MJ is too good for NEBRASKA. The good ole boy system in play. Trev said with SF fiting, he took care of HIS kind. SF should have remained instead of using MJ and then slapping him in the face by not hiring him.
Why would Mickey stay? Arizona State, Colorado, the NFL... Somebody is going to hire this guy. Why would he want to stick around and play second fiddle to some dude who just got fired a few days ago by a 3-7 NFL team? Not only that, but what happens if he keeps Mickey and next season starts 1-5? Or 1-6 maybe? Everyone is going to be looking at what we could've had, standing behind what we gave him up for. No head coach would want to have that on his sidelines. And what do you think is going to happen if Matt Rhule does "Turn it around"? A coach, with a history of turning around programs and then leaving them for the next big thing as soon as the option presents itself. How about a dude who worked his way into his dream job as an NFL head coach, only to be unceremoniously kicked to the curb for not producing. You think he wouldn't want a shot to get back there? If only just to prove that he could? He's already got the NFL money and now he's come to Nebraska. Eight years is it? How much are we still paying Scott Frost for the next few years? Mark these words... Trev Alberts will be remembered just like Steve Peterson was. For making the exact same mistake. The AD had a popular former assistant as head coach and instead of doing the logical thing, decided to chase the NFL reject coach instead. 20 years later, we still suffer from that mistake... See ya'll in 2043.
Trev Alberts took his time with this higher. He didn’t already have one hired long before the end of the season like I suspect Pedersen or Eichorst did.
MJ is too good for this NE Good Life. I hope he takes HIS recruits and says goodbye. Thanks Trev for not appreciating him, slapping him in his face and expecting him to beg for a position.
@@auntiepie16 Before Matt Rhule was hired and officially announced yesterday, I think I heard Mickey say he would like to stick around. If that means going back to be in the wide receivers coach, I think he would be happy
@@beng4151 EXACTLY. TEMPLE??? Matt Rhule coached teams were 2 and 16 against ranked opponents. At Baylor he was 0 and 11. That's ZERO wins and ELEVEN LOSSES against RANKED OPPONENTS. This is an embarrasing hire.
@@DonCollinsShow Yeah, at Baylor and @&^$&# Temple. I didn't even know Temple had a football team. For them to win 6 games is a freaking miracle, let alone 10.
I see the Boosters decided to hire Matt this had nothing to do with Trev 😂 8 years and he just got paid 40 million If I was Matt I would have taken this job also while signing the contract and saying to myself SUCKERSSSSSS 😂
@@jasonjessi1 Maybe, but he didn't walk for senior day, and a week ago Mickey said Trey wasn't going anywhere. I think he could move up in the draft with another year. I just saw he's estimated to be a #95 pick, so late round 3. Although the combine could move him up a lot. But, money talks in the end. I'm hopeful Mickey stays on
@@chiroguy6969 I agree. Mickey is worth his weight in gold in just recruiting. Hopefully he'll stay and people like Malachi Coleman will still want to come here.
Anyone stuck on the Mickey Joseph is still probably wearing Tommie Frazier jerseys. This a new sport. Get with the times or continue being an above average D2 type program. Nobody knows if Rhule is the answer, but he is 100% one of the best options available for this job.
Bad Hire it will take Rhule 2yrs to lean BIG10 conference! Also go look at his best Seasons at Baylor he won with the previous coaches Recruits! He ran to the NFL because all his top talent at Baylor was graduating or going to NFL! Also who gives out 8yr contracts ? This is a coach who just got Fired from Carolina! Looks like some 2-3 seasons are coming in Next few years! I hope I’m wrong!
@@sterlinggrier734 "back in my day, we had Brook Berringer and football was a mans sport, didnt need no money or facilities" - some boomer on his 5th cup of shitty folgers. Fuck off with your armchair Athletic Directorship.
Joe Brady OC, Mickey WR/Associate HC, Beckton TE, New OL, fine with apple white. Busch DC, Ruud LB and the rest of Defense new coaches is my guess for coaching staff. I am probably wrong though but hey that’s why I’m commenting and not publicly speaking about this
No way Joe Brady with be the OC. For one thing, he's got a solid job in the NFL. He's next in line to take over as OC with Buffalo if Ken Dorsey takes a HC job. Secondly, he and Rhule had their issues while in Carolina. Clashed. It was even touched on in this video. Phil Snow as DC is probably a given.
@@robertnoble6600 Agreed. I believe it will be filled with a lot of loyalists. Not necessarily a bad thing since he's had some strong coaches on his staff before. Like I said above, all but certain Phil Snow will follow him to Lincoln to be the DC. He's a good one. Rhule's OC hire will be key though. That was one of his major issues while at Carolina.
Bad Hire! The BIG10 is like no other Conference in the Country! It will take Rhule 2 yrs to learn the BIG10! Also if you look at his best teams at Baylor he Won with the previous coach Recruits !

@@Odawg292002 Yeah, not really. But, hey, the fact that you publicly are cool with supporting the hire of a guy with exactly the same number of wins against ranked opponents at Baylor as ME, is either proof of your ignorance or majestic insight.

I can’t imagine that Urban Meyer would have had the slightest interest at all in Nebraska. Deion either for that matter. He’s a warm weather, party guy and would have been a disaster.
@@normanwoodhead6982 Deion lives in a state that can't even produce clean water and they could 6fold his salary😃😃so F him if he too good ; he did pawn us for Colorado or USF. They might be getting pawned too for Florida St or Texas A&M.You obviously aren't aware how much Urban was hanging around Lincoln this season and loves talking about Nebraska on his podcasts.
You automatically think urban Meyer would have been the perfect coach and he would have gone 12 and oh and won the Big Ten and then going to the championship playoffs and then one how many championships when he only won one At Ohio State? Oh, and he only won one at Florida and that was before the college football playoffs existed I believe, And then, after winning both of those championship, he decided to resign for health reasons. If urban wanted to coach college football this year he would have found a team to coach this year, instead of being a fox analyst
Great another 4 to 5 years of mediocrity. Who would not turn down the 4 to 5 million dollar a year paycheck smile at all the criticism while depositing the checks? Sign me up for a mere million per year.
A feel that this is a sad day for the Huskers football program. Eight more years of frustration and disappointment signed, sealed, and delivered to below mediocrity? A Big 12 coach successful in the B1G? Frost tried nearly that same style and failed miserably. Coach Joseph, gone elsewhere, will be extremely successful and his loss will haunt Alberts and Husker fans for a decade. My humble opinion, Alberts and this administration blundered. We can hope that in a few years Rhule will do as well as Bo did. Unlikely. One might say, "Husker fans are so used to losing and desperate they'd clutch at any pipe dream." (The Huskers just pulled a Texas A&M move.)
Terrible hire! Just killed my interest in NU football. I’m 50 next month and been watching Huskers since I was 5. Now I’m just not as excited or interested because all we’ve suffered the last 15 years or so.
Yes you did. When you post on here you open the door for others opinion. Grow up. This is a great hire, Trev went out and got us the best coach he could find that was willing to come here. When we win the west next year talk some more stupid crap then.
Except Callahan NEVER had a winning season he replaced the coach (Solich) that went 9-3 in his last season before being fired, because Pedersen was “tired of losing to Texas”.
Once again, NU sold it's soul for a high dollar NFL coach instead of hiring one that had his heart in the program and genuinely cared about the program and players. Does the name Bill Callahan ring a bell? Good luck.
You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Keep coming on here and keep embarrassing yourself. Moron. You would rather have hired Mickey Joseph? You’re a clueless fool. Matt Rhule is NOTHING like Bill Callahan. The fact you even bring that up proves how clueless you are. Lol
Nebraska Rhyule …son a preacher …in the days of NIL and the portal Welcome to the present It’s a brave new world especially for those who still have those 1994 national championship License plate frames…
Terrible isn't the correct word to use. Complete disaster is more like it, his 7 year collegiate record is 47 wins 43 losses bowl record is 1-3. Now his Pro record 11-27. That makes his overall record 58-70. Who in their right mind would hire this guy. Assistant Coaches who Became Head Coach at Nebraska. Tom Osborne 255-49-3 83.6% Frank Solich 58-19 73.3% Bo Pelini 39-16 76.6% Head Coaches who Became Head Coach at Nebraska. Bill Callahan 27-22 55.1% Mike Riley 19-19 50% Scott Frost 16-31 34% Should have hired the assistant Mickey Joseph and not the loser they did.
Yay we got a NFL reject who just got paid a bag to leave halfway through the season, good choice Nebraska, guess I'll just start preparing for another mike Riley hire
That’s what happens when you turn dumpster fires programs around into winners. The win lost record isn’t the point. It’s the improvement of the program. From losing seasons to winning seasons. And getting to 10/11 win seasons. So think about it. This is a very good hire. So tired of having to school you people.
The list of good college coaches who couldn't cut it in the NFL is pretty long: Howard Schnellenberger, Lou Holtz, Steve Spurmeater, Nick Saban, Urban Meyer are some off the top of my head. I wouldn't kick Rhule to the curb because his NFL gig petered out. I think it's a solid hire.
Micky was basically told “not good enough “ by the trinity Admiral TO and Trev In That order ! So if he has any dignity He’d go someplace to kick our ass.
He needs to keep Micky Joseph at all costs! Mickey is so valuable to this team, to the fans, to the school, to Nebraska. The players and fans love Mickey.

Just win some damn football ball games get to bowls is fine given the gloom this program has been through Go Big Red !!!
Since he's getting $72 million, this better work out or it's gonna be a helluva big buyout.
what about MICKEY, what about recruiting. The main focus keep MICKEY. Dont be surprised if a bunch of players split, if there's no MICKEY
MJ is too good for this NE Good Life. I hope he takes HIS recruits and says goodbye. Thanks Trev for not appreciating him, slapping him in his face and expecting him to beg for a position.
@@auntiepie16 Before Matt Rhule was hired and officially announced yesterday, I think I heard Mickey say he would like to stick around. If that means going back to be in the wide receivers coach, I think he would be happy
.522 record and 1-2 in bowl games.
Lol. At Baylor and temple. Then had 10 win seasons at both. I didn’t even know temple had a football team.
@@beng4151 EXACTLY. TEMPLE??? Matt Rhule coached teams were 2 and 16 against ranked opponents. At Baylor he was 0 and 11. That's ZERO wins and ELEVEN LOSSES against RANKED OPPONENTS. This is an embarrasing hire.
@@DonCollinsShow You’re not even giving the guy a chance.
@@DonCollinsShow Yeah, at Baylor and @&^$&# Temple. I didn't even know Temple had a football team. For them to win 6 games is a freaking miracle, let alone 10.
@@femaleKCRoyalsFan That's neither true nor relevant.
I see the Boosters decided to hire Matt this had nothing to do with Trev 😂 8 years and he just got paid 40 million If I was Matt I would have taken this job also while signing the contract and saying to myself SUCKERSSSSSS 😂
I wonder if the fact that Palmer is leaving means he knows Mickey isn't planning on being around?
I think he was leaving regardless as to who was hired. His draft stock probably wouldn't be any higher by staying around another year
@@jasonjessi1 Maybe, but he didn't walk for senior day, and a week ago Mickey said Trey wasn't going anywhere. I think he could move up in the draft with another year. I just saw he's estimated to be a #95 pick, so late round 3. Although the combine could move him up a lot. But, money talks in the end. I'm hopeful Mickey stays on
Man i hope Rhule will keep both MJ and Bill Busch. We need them both. Put Bill back at special trams coordinator, just keep him.
there are million$ of other reasons
@@chiroguy6969 I agree. Mickey is worth his weight in gold in just recruiting. Hopefully he'll stay and people like Malachi Coleman will still want to come here.
Anyone stuck on the Mickey Joseph is still probably wearing Tommie Frazier jerseys. This a new sport. Get with the times or continue being an above average D2 type program. Nobody knows if Rhule is the answer, but he is 100% one of the best options available for this job.
Bad Hire it will take Rhule 2yrs to lean BIG10 conference! Also go look at his best Seasons at Baylor he won with the previous coaches Recruits! He ran to the NFL because all his top talent at Baylor was graduating or going to NFL! Also who gives out 8yr contracts ? This is a coach who just got Fired from Carolina! Looks like some 2-3 seasons are coming in Next few years! I hope I’m wrong!
@@sterlinggrier734 "back in my day, we had Brook Berringer and football was a mans sport, didnt need no money or facilities" - some boomer on his 5th cup of shitty folgers. Fuck off with your armchair Athletic Directorship.
@@sterlinggrier734 Didn’t he PLAY for Penn State back in his college years?
@@sterlinggrier734 this might be one of the most garbage takes I've seen in the last day, and I've seen quite a few from Husker nation.
Joe Brady OC, Mickey WR/Associate HC, Beckton TE, New OL, fine with apple white. Busch DC, Ruud LB and the rest of Defense new coaches is my guess for coaching staff. I am probably wrong though but hey that’s why I’m commenting and not publicly speaking about this
No way Joe Brady with be the OC. For one thing, he's got a solid job in the NFL. He's next in line to take over as OC with Buffalo if Ken Dorsey takes a HC job. Secondly, he and Rhule had their issues while in Carolina. Clashed. It was even touched on in this video. Phil Snow as DC is probably a given.
The house will be cleaned out by Rhule. Nebraska’s current staff is done.
@@robertnoble6600 Agreed. I believe it will be filled with a lot of loyalists. Not necessarily a bad thing since he's had some strong coaches on his staff before. Like I said above, all but certain Phil Snow will follow him to Lincoln to be the DC. He's a good one. Rhule's OC hire will be key though. That was one of his major issues while at Carolina.
@@GalathNox Well they had QB issues at Carolina. If you don’t have a QB in the NFL forget about it. But you’re right. Let’s see what happens.
@@robertnoble6600 No doubt about that, but I was referring more to his coaching staff.
can he win? "I think he is decent enough" wow.
Better than Frost. God awful coach.
@@BigEKc0cwp You would be better than Scott Frost - and, I don't even know you.
@@DonCollinsShow I was born a paraplegic and I guarantee 💯 I could 😆 🤣 😂
@@BigEKc0cwp You are keeping it real.
@@DonCollinsShow We all want the same thing. Kick butt and win titles
Make Mickey OC
Cheeks Hire💯
Bad Hire! The BIG10 is like no other Conference in the Country! It will take Rhule 2 yrs to learn the BIG10! Also if you look at his best teams at Baylor he Won with the previous coach Recruits !
Look up where he played college football I believe he played for Penn State… Hasn’t Penn State always been part of the big 10?
Callahan all over again...SMH
This hire must have come after a long list of "No" responses....
Exactly
@@biglonniegruhn you people are clueless
As you learn more, you will find He was the First Choice, said no, Trev wouldn’t take no for an answer. Rhule accepted
Trev will ultimately lose his job over this hire. Scott repeat.
If you looked at a comprehensive list, it’s pretty clear he was in anyone who knows the college football landscapes top 5 for this hire.
Ruhle talks like used car salesman. Mikki not gonna be around long he be selected as HC.
Must go to Buffet. Sam wants to go Buffet. Not talk about Husker Football. The Hawks Championship Center better have a Buffet. Sam will be there at 10:00 am on Monday for the Buffet. Screw the press conference. Must have Buffet.
You got Sam figured out. 🤣
Weak hire. I am now an Alabama fan. ROLL TIDE .
Way to jump on tha Bama wagon as its wheels are finally falling off. Sounds about right moron.
@@silvercloak7216 you're right !! Go Dawgs!!!! GEORGIA #1 WOOOOOO.
Neb 4-8. Next year 2-10.
I think I like Michigan now. GO BLUE
Ur a clown...
At best this is a "C" hire. 2 and 16 versus ranked opponents, 0-11 at Baylor versus ranked opponents, and 1 out of 4 wins in bowl games is not a "B+."
So pissing and moaning about it on the internet is gonna help.
@@Odawg292002 Eric, this may be a surprise to learn. However, maybe it will help you: The internet is a place where we are able to share opinions. You, for example, have shared yours. I've shared mine.
That you don't like or agree with mine is fine. However, it seems a bit like "pissing and moaning," to me.
@@DonCollinsShow your opinion is ignorant.
@@Odawg292002 Yeah, not really. But, hey, the fact that you publicly are cool with supporting the hire of a guy with exactly the same number of wins against ranked opponents at Baylor as ME, is either proof of your ignorance or majestic insight. I kinda know which way I lean on that. But, hey, wear your banner of "less than mediocre" with pride, my man.
@@DonCollinsShow it's proof that you are looking at just numbers, and not understanding the full context.
Don't see it! homerun Urban, Deion or stick with Mickey🤷🏾♀🤷🏾♀🤷🏾♂🤷🏾♂
I can’t imagine that Urban Meyer would have had the slightest interest at all in Nebraska. Deion either for that matter. He’s a warm weather, party guy and would have been a disaster.
@@normanwoodhead6982 Deion lives in a state that can't even produce clean water and they could 6fold his salary😃😃so F him if he too good ; he did pawn us for Colorado or USF. They might be getting pawned too for Florida St or Texas A&M.You obviously aren't aware how much Urban was hanging around Lincoln this season and loves talking about Nebraska on his podcasts.
You automatically think urban Meyer would have been the perfect coach and he would have gone 12 and oh and won the Big Ten and then going to the championship playoffs and then one how many championships when he only won one At Ohio State? Oh, and he only won one at Florida and that was before the college football playoffs existed I believe, And then, after winning both of those championship, he decided to resign for health reasons. If urban wanted to coach college football this year he would have found a team to coach this year, instead of being a fox analyst
Great another 4 to 5 years of mediocrity. Who would not turn down the 4 to 5 million dollar a year paycheck smile at all the criticism while depositing the checks? Sign me up for a mere million per year.
Rhule seems like a terrible hire
Only seems that way.
A feel that this is a sad day for the Huskers football program. Eight more years of frustration and disappointment signed, sealed, and delivered to below mediocrity? A Big 12 coach successful in the B1G? Frost tried nearly that same style and failed miserably. Coach Joseph, gone elsewhere, will be extremely successful and his loss will haunt Alberts and Husker fans for a decade. My humble opinion, Alberts and this administration blundered. We can hope that in a few years Rhule will do as well as Bo did. Unlikely. One might say, "Husker fans are so used to losing and desperate they'd clutch at any pipe dream." (The Huskers just pulled a Texas A&M move.)
Incredibly good take, I have 0 confidence in Trev
Frost was a HORRIBLE public speaker. Ummmmm, Ahhhhh, Ummmmm
Not with this at all. Atrocious at best with his time in the league.
Terrible hire! Just killed my interest in NU football. I’m 50 next month and been watching Huskers since I was 5. Now I’m just not as excited or interested because all we’ve suffered the last 15 years or so.
Okay bye
See ya later. I guarantee if he success you will be back. Until then get lost.
@@danielkobza8358 I didn’t ask you CS opinion.
Later, nerd
Yes you did. When you post on here you open the door for others opinion. Grow up. This is a great hire, Trev went out and got us the best coach he could find that was willing to come here. When we win the west next year talk some more stupid crap then.
Not excited for Rhule. Lame hire for Nebraska. Dude sucks. Get ready for him to bounce as soon as he has a winning season. Callahan 2.0.
Except Callahan NEVER had a winning season he replaced the coach (Solich) that went 9-3 in his last season before being fired, because Pedersen was “tired of losing to Texas”.
Once again, NU sold it's soul for a high dollar NFL coach instead of hiring one that had his heart in the program and genuinely cared about the program and players. Does the name Bill Callahan ring a bell? Good luck.
AGREE
You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Keep coming on here and keep embarrassing yourself. Moron. You would rather have hired Mickey Joseph? You’re a clueless fool. Matt Rhule is NOTHING like Bill Callahan. The fact you even bring that up proves how clueless you are. Lol
Bill Callahan is the best head football coach Nebraska has had in this century.
@@commenter8360 dude, share whatever your smoking.
HE'S NOT AN NFL COACH!! For Fuck's sake, do you people do any research before you vomit your dogshit opinion onto the internet?

Welcome to the present
It’s a brave new world especially for those who still have those 1994 national championship License plate frames…
Terrible hire… mediocre at best. Should’ve hired MJ. Way to go Trev…👎🏼
Because?
This isn’t cfb training wheels U.
Terrible isn't the correct word to use. Complete disaster is more like it, his 7 year collegiate record is 47 wins 43 losses bowl record is 1-3. Now his Pro record 11-27. That makes his overall record 58-70. Who in their right mind would hire this guy.

Yay we got a NFL reject who just got paid a bag to leave halfway through the season, good choice Nebraska, guess I'll just start preparing for another mike Riley hire
Sarcasm heavy
Lol we gonna drink the koolaid anyways you already know!
So nick sabean and urban Myer were NFL rejects to so what is your point.
Go educate yourself.
Go look at those two names you just brought up and what their records were before they went to the NFL,
typical Nebraska hire coach that my or may noy win and over pay them 5 th imes they dobe this and still have yet to see anything
47-43 won loss record at college level WOW great hire Nebraska
That’s what happens when you turn dumpster fires programs around into winners. The win lost record isn’t the point. It’s the improvement of the program. From losing seasons to winning seasons. And getting to 10/11 win seasons. So think about it. This is a very good hire. So tired of having to school you people.
He is a rebuild guy
@@robertnoble6600 he never beat a ranked team at Baylor. Not going to get a cupcake in the big ten
What’s his record of you take out the first year of the two rebuilds? Pretty damn good.
@@johnstrain240 Never beat a ranked team at Baylor. Not going to get a cupcake in the big 10
That is a horrible hire. He was trash at Carolina. I miss the days of dominant Nebraska football.
Remember Nick Sabin was a terrible NFL coach. NFL is a totally different animal.
Urban Meyer didn't find success in the NFL either
The list of good college coaches who couldn't cut it in the NFL is pretty long: Howard Schnellenberger, Lou Holtz, Steve Spurmeater, Nick Saban, Urban Meyer are some off the top of my head. I wouldn't kick Rhule to the curb because his NFL gig petered out. I think it's a solid hire.
Horrible hire, way to screw things up more Trev, if we wanted to stay middle to bottom of the pack in the Big 10 we should of kept Frost
This comment goes perfectly with the username of the guy who wrote it.
Micky was basically told “not good enough “ by the trinity
Admiral TO and Trev
In That order !
So if he has any dignity
He’d go someplace to kick our ass.
I am done with this team. Another bad hire!
I hear Michigan has a bandwagon you can hop onto
8 years at face value means
ZERO
The devils in the details 😢😢😅
