At SOME point, you'd expect these interviews to become the 'same old, same old.'
Not yet.

Placed this here because this list has 2 programs on it that Rhule once ran / and one of the two was a rumored candidate for the Huskers . seems like we got the guy who built them and these guys couldn’t sustain them

I am particularly interested in the Dave Aranda story. Coach Rhule built Baylor back up from an SMU-like death penalty death to a title contender. Baylor chose to hire an outsider with a sterling pedigree (Aranda) to take over and he won a championship for them in 2021 and took them to the Sugar Bowl. The guy was applauded around the country as "The Next Coming."
Every CFB team in need of a coach had him on their wish list. But guess what? After Rhule's guys left, he hasn't done diddily-squat. It just goes to show what we learned after TO: Programs don't build coaches, coaches build programs.
I was especially interested in Dannen's comment about the teams Matt plays never won the following week because they were so beat up.
Unless he's done exhaustive research on Nebraska's 'old days,' he wouldn't know that the same thing used to be said about the week after for the teams Osborne played.
It's comments like this one AND Rhule talking in his introductory presser about getting better day-by-day BEFORE he knew it was a 'Nebraska thing' are signs The Nebraska Way of the Devaney-Osborne era has returned.
"You have to treat triumph and disaster as the same impostors."

Really? He's been at Nebraska long enough and around the boosters enough now to have probably heard that 100 times.
ATX, it says something about this thread that I brighten up everytime I see there's a new post to it.
I prefer Coach interviews, but I'll settle for the Missus.

Makes me wish we had a "Superlike" button.
