Really sorry for a little bit of sobering reading this morning with how well the recruiting went yesterday for us. I kind of went off the poll from last week. We will get it back on track with positivity tomorrow! If you’re like me, you were pretty worried about what NIL would make college football.Continue reading “NIL Reality for Nebraska”

Rhule’s Hires So Far
In our 2nd post of our 5 part series, we are going to take a look at how Rhule is assembling his staff and what I see to like about it, and what i’m going to be very interested in watching moving forward with it. From a 30,000 foot view, one of the first thingsContinue reading “Rhule’s Hires So Far”
Grading the Head Coaching Hires
Post #1 of our 5 part series for the holiday week is going to go over the Nebraska hire compared to Wisconsin, Colorado, Auburn, and Arizona State. This will hopefully set the stage for a deeper dive into Matt Rhule and his staff tomorrow when we go over Nebraska’s hires and our expectations.

Recruiting, the Portal, and a little bit on Mickey
When it comes to recruiting, I have been beating the drum for a while now to not worry about it until we had a head coach in place and December 2nd came our way. I still remember when Malachi Coleman committed in October, and I tried to let people know that the recruiting class andContinue reading “Recruiting, the Portal, and a little bit on Mickey”
7 Million Dollar Salary Pool and Rhule Already Recruiting How It Worked For Him Prior
Let’s first talk about the 7 million dollar salary. Pool, let’s use this tweet for reference: I talked about the fact that Mickey was wanting 7 figures to stick around, and with us paying what we had to with Rhule to get him out of his Carolina Panthers buyout, the numbers get a little tricky.Continue reading “7 Million Dollar Salary Pool and Rhule Already Recruiting How It Worked For Him Prior”
What i’m hearing about Mickey, Rhule vs. Fickell, negativity moving forward, and the new hires
Can you give us one more year Coach Joseph?! Here’s what i’m hearing… MJ is trying to capitalize on the fact that he got us a win against Iowa and kept this team together. I’ve heard he’s asking for 7 figures and a 3 year deal. I tried googling things but that would make himContinue reading “What i’m hearing about Mickey, Rhule vs. Fickell, negativity moving forward, and the new hires”
Matt Rhule is our guy, so what are we getting?
We made this post back on 11/13 when we had been told by multiple media members and former players that he was our guy. We got lucky it stayed true, as there became numerous people starting to get anxious and thinking we were out of it with our top candidates. So many fans anymore areContinue reading “Matt Rhule is our guy, so what are we getting?”
Why i’m doubling down it’s Rhule so that I can be completely wrong in a few days
I want to start this post out by saying Trev has done a phenomenal job keeping this pretty buttoned up. No one really knows which direction this thing is going to go. But I do get more information than most, so I want to walk through how i’ve landed on Rhule still being the guy.Continue reading “Why i’m doubling down it’s Rhule so that I can be completely wrong in a few days”
Biggest on the field change and coaching odds
One of the things that has frustrated me over the past 5 seasons, is the fact that besides losing one score games, Nebraska basically has zero identity. It continued in 2022, and when things like that happen, it makes it really difficult to have success on Saturdays. If one of your friends that was aContinue reading “Biggest on the field change and coaching odds”
