Scott Shanle dumping on Trev & Rhule on 1620

Everyone needs to take a chill pill -
:ThrowComp:

Opinions are like left nostrils, everyone has one.


Absurdity (n) - A statement or belief manifestly inconsistent with one's own opinion.
~ Ambrose Bierce
 
I posted my dumb theory elsewhere and it's just a guess, but I see two possible factors that could be biasing Shanle whether he realizes it or not.

Shanle played his pro career primarily in New Orleans, and ended there. Judging by his social media, he seemed to have adopted LA as a second home, and IIRC has tweeted a lot about LSU. So first, not only is Mickey a former Husker, but a NOLA native and LSU assistant coach, obviously.

Second, Rhule coached for his NFC South rival Carolina. Would Shanle be as concerned if he coached at Cleveland and failed? Maybe, maybe not, just a rhetorical question.

If Mickey had been named head coach, I would have been able to rationalize it to myself and be on board. But if an available guy has D1 and power 5 head coaching experience with some good seasons in there, you have to try that before handing it to a guy with two seasons as head coach at an NAIA team with not good results and then a 3-6 interim stint. There isn't much logical reason to support hiring Mickey but not willing to give Rhule a fair chance.

Yet I heard him essentially say he’s completely fine handing the program off to a guy who has coached for 30 years and never made it past a WR coach up until a few games ago. Lol

Shanle has his opinions and reasons for them. Some are valid points and some seem petty. It’s an opinion and I don’t get that worked up over opinions anymore.

There’s a &$@!-ton of former players who have asinine opinions that they push…hear em every weekend pre and post game. Seems a whole lot of people who have actually been with him like him. I am sure he’s not perfect, but have not heard any deep character flaw…of course Shanle doing the character assassination should be considered one.

Carriker: Why now?
Shanle: it's provided a platform for a healthy discussion.

A healthy discussion...? Nebraska's national search for a new head coach is over and a new coach has been hired and introduced to the public. So exactly what is "healthy" about a 'we coulda done better' conversation? What does it accomplish?

I've listened to Trev...I've listened to Rhule....and now I've listened to Shanle. Call me biased if you want, but Shanle's stated 'concerns' about Rhule fall apart like a house of cards if Carriker had been interested in actually challenging his former teammate's takes. But Adam clearly wasn't interested in debating him.

Shanle strikes me as a giant bag of bitter douche. His reasons for his opinions are based on second and third hand gossip he learned from unspecified others. And given Mickey's arrest, I think the people who were so butthurt he was passed over have even more reason to pipe down.

Ruble is the coach, period. Idiotic 8th grade drama rumors are pointless and counter productive.

And if he was running his yapper because he wanted MJ, consider that TA would have had to fire a coach less thanone week after getting the job.

STFU and support Rhule like we've done for every coach since Frank until they proved they were not capable of delivering a championship team.

We all know news isn't "news" unless it has a twist to it by reporters and the like. SS trolling for viewership. Was a good FB player for us. That's probably about it.

You just made my day Dog! Always wondered if this uncanny skill (well, my family calls it stupidity) would translate in written form. I have had this annoying habit going back probably 30 years of making an acronym out of just about any statement. I'm glad you took the time to solve it! My girls begrudgingly admit it is a complete waste of brain cells but a skill nonetheless.

Example
Daughter - We're thinking of going to Nashville for New Years Eve...and I immediately respond "NFNYE!" in the most annoying obnoxious voice possible. Takes a few seconds for them to process it then they just walk away. My entire familia has a ticket to heaven putting up with my idiocy all these years!
