My note to Coach Joseph.

I also think it sounds like Trev and the AD office may have sent some signals to insiders that didn't jive with the final decision to hire Rhule. I get how that could be interpreted the way Doc relayed to us.

Ultimately - Rhule rejected the initial offer and a final agreement was not finalized until Thanksgiving morning. It was hard to read what plan B was from the pressers this week - but it is quite possible we'd still be waiting for an announcement today if it was not Rhule IMHO.

Like my ol pap always said wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which gets full first.
I'm first A Nebraska Cornhusker Born and Bred...when I die I will be Husker dead.
If some think me full of $hit so be it....that is their choice if they knew me they wouldn't say that....it's been said of me more than once by people I've known for years.....since childhood that I wouldn't say $hit if I had a mouthful !
My words were not meant to anger of offend anyone....in fact after recent events I can say that I'm firmly in the "wait and see camp" but no way no how have I or will I not support or wish the absolute best for the Huskers or any of their coaching staff.
If Coach RHULE does as he says and we see the proof and improvement not only does he have my support but he will have earned my loyalty.
And to those who think me full of $hit....your welcome to come spend a day with me as my guest any time it can be arranged, walk a mile in my shoes before you judge me....
These things I offer are for REAL NOT BOAST OR JEST....IF YOU HAVE THE CAJONES TO SAY THESE THINGS....COME SEE FOR YOUR SELF (notice how I went all caps just so as to not disappoint anyone)
The invitation is open come spend 24 hours with me and Kate, you can stay in the guest cabin on our property or in our home what ever you prefer, we will feed you and you can follow us around for a day.....then if you still think me full of it....at least you will have actually met me and can say those things with actual experience to back it up.

DOC & Kate.
Go Big Red.

Any thoughts on today's allegations Doc? it seems you have known Mickey for a long time. Are you as shocked by this as the rest of us?
 
I just posted about it ....yes I know Mickey but not the way you might think..... however I'm shocked more so than many because I've spent some time with him I just never would have figured this.
There obviously is a helluva lot more to it than just speculation.

Judge you??!? Come on, Doc, don't be this way. Hunch and I were clearly joking around.
THIS --> ;poke:D from Hunchie, and
THIS --> ;) :) from me should've made that crystal clear. But if it wasn't obvious, then I apologize because pissing you off sure as hell wasn't my intent and I know it wasn't with Hunch either.

There's WAY TOO MUCH angst around here tonight already without adding any more unnecessarily. Peace!

Doc and Kate

I trust you as you have provided great insight and info. That being said you are offering I would come hang out with you and Kate any way. Shoot I’d even bring a nice bottle of bourbon. Lol
 
Doc,
Before I cross the line-
Are we talking First Class travel accommodations?
Do you have an espresso machine? Also, I'm allergic to Arabica beans, but I need my morning coffee.
Will there be a selection of fresh fruit with brunch?
By follow you around, can that be just watching through binoculars from the veranda?

Doc,

You've always been. Straight shooter. And the next time my wife and I plan a trip to the Black Hills I'm reaching out to you. Sounds like a lot of fun some if the tours you give.

GBR!

Our @Doc Holiday is very capable of defending himself, he certainly doesn't need me. But I read that quote as one coming from a VERY passionate former player who was squarely in the Mickey Joseph camp. I think we all can respect that. But once the high emotions that surround a search like this one that means so much to so many people die down, I fully expect our Resident Blackshirt to have a change of heart.

Doc is Old School -- How many times did Rhule mention HE was 'old school' during his presser? Doc is all about physical football -- that's a HUGE part of Rhule's approach to the game. Doc is all about toughness -- so is Rhule. Now it's easy to 'talk' a good game and Coach Rhule acknowledged that. But another thing he said that resonnated with me and -- I suspect, Doc, you, and a lot of our fellow BHFers -- is that its a day-by-day process that involves 'rolling up your sleeves' and working hard. Rhule never mentioned it -- and probably hasn't heard it yet -- but his philosophy is epitomized by our players' "Day by Day" chant before games. That's why this hire feels so right -- he didn't grow up a Husker, didn't play for the Bobfather or Coach Osborne, but his values and coaching philosophy are right out of The Nebraska Way playbook. I'm just a fan, albeit a 50+ year one. But I have to believe our former players have already sensed it too or will over time.

Yesterday, I listened to a Rhule interview where he mentioned one of players in the NFL that he has a tremendous amount of respect for is Ameer Abdullah (anyone at all surprised by that?). Coach Rhule said that Ameer told him that he was excited by the news and said couldn't imagine a better head coach for HIS University.
Its one thing to say something, quite another to acutally do it. I like what Rhule has to say. Now lets hope he does it. I have NOTHING against Rhule as a coach, but even as an assistant he has never been anywhere longer than 4 years. I have a feeling that when the PSU job comes open (might be next year if Franklin is seriously looking around) he will be trying to nail down that job. Wouldnt blame him either since it is his alma.

I can vouch for you having a big heart. I'm thankful for our conversations. BTW while we lost the Oklahoma game. Being able to take my son to his first game was the best choice!

There are few online sites where posters can playfully poke fun at one another like @GIJoeRed and @Hunchback Johnny did to me above. It's one of a whole bunch of reasons why this community's camaraderie is rarely seen on other online sports sites.

But whether we're talking Top Ten Husker football or the community that exists here, nothing is ever guaranteed and shouldn't be taken for granted. Like the tail end of the Huskers' Glory Decades, little problems can start multiplying when they're ignored until -- low and behold -- it's not the same place anymore.

This is true of any coach and what is his buy out going to be next year?

You reached out to me and offered personal kind words and and invitation to visit at my lowest point in life while my wife was really ill. I really appreciated it. I don’t think you are a BS’r at all.

Human’s are not without fault, and anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool. We were all in on Scott Frost, the guy couldn’t handle the gig. Plain and Simple.

I was willing to give Mickey a chance, the guy made a series of big mistakes s and proved he wasn’t capable of owning it by reacting how he did. No one could foresee that.

I think we ALL hope this drama can end and we can get back to REAL Husker Football again.

My Mothers Family went into a spiral after losing my Grandfather…He was the “Glue” of the family. I kind see that with this program and Osborne retiring. Sometimes there are Men in life that can handle tough situations but also keep the unit moving forward.

The program is still looking for that Man.
