This needs to be explained. Everyone knows our oline was the weakest its been since the late 60s, yet the coach of that is kept? If Rhule doesn’t explain this, my confidence in him drops.
Rhule's coaching staff
- Thread starter Mike Corgan
- Start date
I would love an explanation. Why this retention was made would make for an interesting discussion. Not saying it was a poor choice, I’d just be interested in why it was made.

my issue is that Rhule is about developing players…I saw no improvement this year, and that got our QB killed, and likely lost us games—further exacerbating an offense that did not adjust for the poor line play. How is this hire going to entice recruits?
Have you called Matt Rhule's office to get the explanation you feel you need? What about AD Trev Alberts? I bring up Trev because you can tattle on Matt to him about your displeasure. Also, If you go to Huskers.com, under the football program, coaches, I believe you will see Matt's email, why don't you give that a try. Let us all know the explanation you get from the head football coach of Nebraska football. Let him know how your confidence in him will drop if he doesn't explain to you his hiring process and decision making. And then......give him all your "expert" opinions on the matter.
You embarrass yourself by emotion posting.
My confidence has been shaken to its very core. O-line was clearly the weakest position group on the team. I figured Raiola would be the first to be shown the door. I am perplexed, check that, I am flummoxed by this decision...unless there are plans for Dylan to join Tio Donovan in Lincoln.
This is a shocker about Raiola being retained but perhaps his coaching style was not a match for the offense Frost and Whipple ran. Perhaps he's better suited for the scheme that Rhule is planning on running at NU. If that's the case then this actually might be a great move by Rhule. Time will tell though.
My advice is for everybody to calm down.
If this Twitter rumor is true, it says a lot about Donovan Raiola in my book because Rhule understands how critical our OL development needs to be.
Second, one season tells me squat about how good a coach is -- particularly when his unit experienced some really tough injuries. How can you blame a first-season OL coach who inherited THIS season's OL -- tough season-ending injuries and all -- and who had Whipple as his OC?
CFB is full of one season wonders -- I thought we'd all realized future success is about scheme and development.
THIS! ^^^^^
My guess is Bryce Benhart (#54) threatened to enter the portal if Raiola was not retained.
When you get to flabbergasted, let me know. Just glad you aren't thunderstruck.
Tom Osborne said in most cases it takes 3 years to develop an O-lineman. None of these players were recruited by Raiola and he has only had a year to get to know, develop and teach technique to them. The large number of key injuries played into this as well. I think the people monitoring this every day were liking what they saw and are probably better suited to make the call than the armchair QBs. I say wait and see.My advice is for everybody to calm down.I

I'm at a wait and see on this one. I'm not sure what this OL is actually good at.
Frost and Raiola had the entire O-line throwing up everywhere. Rhule and Raiola have the fanbase throwing up everywhere. Everyone is throwing up everywhere. It's like all of Husker Nation eats at Chipotle.
I'm kidding of course. Rhule probably knows more about coaching than any of us. We need to reverse this trend. No more Chipotle. Let's all meet at Taco Bell.
