Wishful thinking, SUH. Rhule was willing to release Holgorsen so he would be this season's sacrificial lamb. A new OC will help calm the waters and stop the boat from rocking until next fall.

^^^^^^ For Calib Henry's information, there were conference championships long before there were conference championship games. But I still see this 24 team playoff as the NCAA's pre-2030 last gasp attempt to keep the B1G and SEC from jumping ship.

That was always going to be the case unless you are able to pay his buyout. Last year, the complaints were about our defense, specifically our DL. Word was we shouldn't expect a quick fix. I look at our offense and scratch my head wondering WHY this team isn't scoring 30 points a game, let...

Illegal procedure calls shouldn't be happening with the frequency we're seeing after nine weeks. That falls first on the much-ballyhoo'ed Geep and then on his high-profile boss, Dana. Ultimately, it's Rhule's responsibility but today's B1G football is a huge organization with a whole boatload...

One of the really frustrating things to me is that when we FINALLY get a strong defense again under Aurich--the darn offense falls apart. Who saw that scenario coming, especially the way Colandrea game out of the gate? If this season's offense had lived up to its billing, we'd be sitting...

This has been--for me--The Most Headshaking Husker Season I've ever seen. Don't take this wrong, we've had scores of years in recent memory that have sucked far more than this one. The difference is that it was crystal clear what our weaknesses were. But LOOK at what we've got on offense. We...

Like others here, I would like to see us run the ball more. But I would argue that our run-pass ratio to date has been determined by our inability to consistently pick up 4-plus yards running. Our running game has been hit or miss. We look great on SOME of our off tackle plays, especially...

The fact Penn Staters wanted Franklin out last year, and Buckeye fans want Day's scalp this year tell you a lot about the state of CFB today. And it ain't good.

Don't liking Math means I'm a simple guy: This Husker fan says GO FOR ONE in this OT era.

Screw Severe. I've always hated math.

Like this x1000! In my opinion, 'the power of enthusiasm' is one of the most important ingredients to becoming an effective leader. And while Blatz's comment was about Coach Ek, it may explain why things didn't work out for someone like Dana Holgorsen with a stellar record of offensive...

I don't know diddily-squat about their current relationship but the two have been good friends. I think that DH's exit will be quiet because: 1) as a former HC, he 'gets it,' 2) his contract ended at the end of the season and there was already speculation he wasn't planning to return; and 3)...

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...

There's been a lot of ST bashing. I would agree that our FG kicking has killed us in every single one of our losses. But I would point out that Special Teams as a whole is made up of five distinct operations: 1 & 2) Kickoff coverage and returns; 3 & 4) Punt coverage and returns; and FG/EXP...

We were saying the same thing about Butler's D last year. Personally, I've been very impressed with how good the defensive has become under Aurich. A similar hire of a young, hotshot OC wizard could be just what the Doctor ordered. One thing to keep in mind (as we learned with Dana), it's one...

That's a mind-boggling statistic. :huh:

ANOTHER FRUSTRATING NIGHT. Same damn song with the same chorus. Gone are all the explosive plays we had earlier in the season. We had one big pass play but that wasn’t enough. We just can’t stay consistent on offense when it’s a defensive “grind-it-out” game typical of the B1G. The penalties...

Doc Fumble responds with tongue firmly in cheek: Concrete PROOF is important, saturdaysarebetter!!! This could be a desperate ploy to generate some sympathy, you know. Matt Rhule wants us to believe he's a good-hearted family man. We all know now that he's a piss-poor coach but while we're...

Agree. Anyone with a daughter or granddaughter can answer that one without a second thought.

Who in the league---outside of Nebraska fans---could have envisioned at this point in the season that Coach Reid would have to reassure fans during his weekly presser that: YES, BOTH the Chiefs' superstar RB, Kenneth Walker and rookie, Emmett Johnson will be playing Sunday.
