- Thread starter JeopardyHusker

I really like his recruiting philosophy of "If you're going to miss, miss fast."
BTW- I was only off by 15 hours on the announcement.
BTW- I was only off by 15 hours on the announcement.
Line play, Talked to TO this morning, Mentioned MJ, and Likes to develop players.
A few things from what I remember:
- Grew up in awe of the Huskers
- Honored to be part of our program
- Believe this is the right time with everybody (administrative-wise) on the same page.
- Looking forward to developing players again.
So there we have it....Matt Ruhle ......I can't wait for Trev to Explain this.
Not that we didn't want him personally but I have to Question the fit.....like a season ticket holder and long time booster emailed me "I just can't see Matt Ruhle in one of his EWOK SMOCKS walking into a small Highschool in Western Nebraska and trying to talk to a bunch of salt of the earth, sweat and dirt stained Cowboys who eat rusty nails for breakfast and striking up a conversation where I know if Mickey Joseph walked in .....every one of those Cowboys knows who Mickey is....he can walk in anywhere in the state and be loved by everyone!"
This was his email to me dated Wed of this last week when the whole thing started to surface.
I see his point his family has been season ticket holders since right before the DEVANEY Era for gods sake and they have had enough....they were sure the combined force of Trev and Mickey (they were teammates remember) would get this right.
I hope this one guy don't dump his tickets or stop supporting the University but he said he would.....I know him because I guided him and his Dad to their Elk of a lifetime and he seems like a even keel kinda guy so who knows....
I hope Ruhle has the sense to get Mickey to stay period if not....that fella has a huge road to hoe.
I wish him the best of luck.....now Kate..... well her and Mickey's Wife have become good friends.....so probably not so much love from her right now......
It was obvious to us a decision had been made right after the game by how the team and Mickey talked and their demeanor.
Go Big Red !

I'm not sure what Trev needs to explain. This is a coach who admires physical but disciplined football. I'm not sure how a four-year Joe Paterno walk-on LINEBACKER is wrong for us. He has a well-deserved reputation for developing players and has serious experience on both sides of the ball -- including being a position coach on the offensive and defensive lines.
He was the head coach AT BAYLOR. Have you ever been to Waco, Texas?
That's just one persons opinion who isn't any different than anyone here. Rhule will be fine. Even in Western Nebraska I'm sure people know who Matt Rhule is, if they don't they don't know much about football.
Oh my god......did I offend you ? I didn't think I said anything that should have inflamed you..... but if so I am so very sorry I hurt your feelings......
Oh and for the record I've been to Waco and that whole area more times than I would like to admit....
I used to guide for a Group of money men who own a huge bunch Whitetail Ranch hunting ranches in Texas that had property all over that state..... In my younger days. Still have a lot of good friends down there.

Yeah, the idea that Rhule will have trouble connecting with farmers, ranchers, small town residents, Western Nebraskans, etc. doesn't make sense to me. He doesn't strike me as an arrogant prima donna at all. I think he'll be an absolute hit with the fanbase as they get to know him. He believes in, teaches, and builds the same discipline, work ethic, and culture we have lacked since Osborne retired.
He talks about developing players, starting with the O line, coaching them into the NFL and defense, defense, defense. If he does just that we will win the west on a regular basis. After where we’ve been, I’ll take it.
While I think we made a mistake with Rhule, and that we will be doing this all again in 3 years, I am hoping that when he leaves he is 45-0. Good luck coach, heres to hoping you can turn this team around. I think a lot of the pieces are there to make this a good team, just got to get the right guys coaching them.
This reminds me of hiring a new pastor for a church... 1/3 will love it, 1/3 will be OK with it, and 1/3 will not be happy and some will leave the church over it. Everything to this point is 100% speculation and pride. This attitude kills a church and keeps fans from having an open mind.
He checks the boxes that this program has been lacking for years, and if people get hung up on physical features or speculation of failure, they need to move on. Is he here for the long run, no one knows for sure, but for the amount of time he will be here he will be the difference maker the program needs.
Good gosh NO. My posting style is sort of my shtick....like your shtick when you go ALL CAPS on us.
Discussion boards are made for honest-to-goodness debates. IMO, that's when they're the most interesting.
FWIW, knowing you based on what you've posted here, I believe you are going to find yourself liking Rhule the more you learn about him. His style is right up your alley -- which, I suspect, is why he impressed Trev.
I gotta worry more about the kind of person who is hung up on the clothes a coach wears over their ability.
Belechik walks around in hoodies with the sleeves cut off. Who cares about that kind of thing.
Not directed at you, Doc. Just seen that around more than here
