So Rhule dropped the ax on another coordinator, this time is was OC Dana Holgorsen. I am curious what this move by Rhule does to your expectations for the remainder of the season. Feel free to explain with a comment in addition to voting!
Expectations under OC Thomas?
- Thread starter ATX_Husker
- Start date
This was CYA - nothing more. The offense doesn't change. Same penalties, mistakes, drops and everything else preventing the O from scoring points.
Will he be in the booth or sidelines? That apparently makes all the difference.
Maybe we get more run game. Or stick with it or something along those lines.
We can't pass 40 plus times a game and expect to win.

Dana went up in the booth to "find more points." I'm thinking GT will need to hover above the stadium in a helicopter looking for points. Either way, changes needed to be made.
He has a ride booked with Space X and will be calling the games from the International Space Station.
That was going to be my comment. I don't think the outcome will be significantly different and I think after the Iowa game, the coaching carousel will begin once again,
Not sure it matters. Surely Rhule could have simply told Dana to call the game differently. Will we commit to the running game and use Rule as a true feature back? Will we play good disciplined football and cut down on penalties? Will we locate a place kicker we can rely on? Will we stop playing like scared losers who seem certain we will find a way to lose?
Like everyone else I am tired of the excuses. We pay these idiots plenty of money. Figure it the F out or get lost.

Matt Frost is a used car salesman. He'll be coach until the end of next year, and I'll enjoy my Saturdays immensely more by not watching Nebraska.
I dont think Thomas is the answer but who else do you have on staff that could take over? Rhule? He's to busy yelling at the refs to call plays. I think he yells at the refs more than Bo did.

I couldn’t vote in the poll because none of the choices fit for me. At this point it is on Rhule. He has to be inside the team’s head. They need a calming leader to not let this completely implode. It would be pretty easy to see everyone give up and shut it down
Yeah, that one killed me as well. I was just glad I didn't have hot coffee in my mouth.
I agree with Jim. This was a strategic move to placate a hostile fanbase, period.
I've been frustrated that Holgorsen's Husker O never took off, but it's hard for me to envision Thomas' play calling having any impact. What we get going forward (good or bad) from Thomas, we would've gotten from Dana.
The only thing this move accomplishes is to start speculation about what hotshot young OC Rhule gets to put together a new dynamic offense with Colandrea, Rule, and Taylor. Whatever you think of Rhule, a new OC will naturally intrigue a lot of fans for 2027.
I would imagine a new OC will be given a lot of leeway in bringing in his own guys so we may see a major staff overhaul after the season that may get rid of a coach we've loved to bitch about.
