Dana gone?

The Captain of the ship plots the course and directs the steering of the ship. He has the knowledge and experience to handle whatever the seas throw at him. He is confident, autocratic, and decisive. He knows the success or failure is entirely on him and he doesn't shirk from his responsibility. When the storms are at their worst and he is surrounded by panic, he is a rock.
Do we have Oliver Hazard Perry at the helm or Captain Schettino?
Oliver Hazard Perry - Wikipedia Don't give up the ship- We have met the enemy and they are ours,
Francesco Schettino - Wikipedia It's not my fault.

Rhule has too many people working for him and they all are supposed to be giving him solid advice. Too many competing views and not one general direction or consensus on what needs to be done? Who knows

Very possibly, but the buck stops with him. If he is relying on feedback, his first concern should be WHO he should listen to.

My GUESS is that there is going to be a staff bloodbath at season's end. If this comes to fruition you will see me wanting very badly to give it (ie the new staff) time. I know everyone thinks that Matt is ground zero, but I think back to the Solich termination. I wasn't sold on Frank, but when he assembled a new promising staff that wasn't the time to wipe the slate clean imo. And quite honestly, I think we have never recovered from that short-sighted move.

I have been quite open about what I see as one of Matt's flaws...........assembling a good assistant staff. I think he has been forced to see the results he has created by misguided hires. So why should we give him another chance? Because he is going to be our coach next year........I'd bet on it.........and one should hope he makes more hires like Aurich. All contract extensions for the head coach need to be put on hold until we see how it works out, but we need to salvage what very possibly is going to be our best recruiting class, in like, forever. And we just don't have so much money that we can just piss what we have away on another gamble.

Matt needs to get these/those hire/s right. I just can't believe he hasn't learned something in the past four years. I've certainly been wrong before, and I might be wrong this time, but if it were my shot to call.......that's what I'd call.

All he has learned is that no assistant can outshine him and he loves buddy hires as he can't seem to fire them. I almost think they have some major dirt on him.

He should go visit Cignetti and see how he runs a program. I can pretty much guarantee you that Cignetti doesn't have all the folks working for him that Rhule does. Cignetti knows every aspect of what's going on in his program. He takes on a lot of those extra responsibilities that Rhule has parsed out to others.

The interviews I've seen of him he's made it very clear that he's the last say on everything.
 
If Rhule is retained the problem he is going to face is the whole world knows he is on the hot seat so that is going to limit the pool of potential assistant coach/coordinator candidates. If the candidate has multiple offers why would you choose the job with the least security/stability and the most pressure? Only logic that makes sense is if it is an up and comer from a "lesser" school who sees the opportunity at Nebraska as a stepping stone or someone who was recently fired and their stock has dropped (which is not what you want LOL). Frost hiring OC Whipple before he got fired comes to mind.
