Super Official "Burn it all down if we can't beat" Rutgers game week thread

Which means Matty Ice ain't going nowhere.
That was always going to be the case unless you are able to pay his buyout.
Great more average to below average play.
Last year, the complaints were about our defense, specifically our DL. Word was we shouldn't expect a quick fix. I look at our offense and scratch my head wondering WHY this team isn't scoring 30 points a game, let alone what we've been scoring.

So an Aurich-like offensive wizard could turn out to add the 'mojo' we've needed.
 
Was he on a 1 year deal? So that is 2027-2028? Retaining him makes sense for Rhule - assuming he's still here after the Iowa game. Rhule's handling of Special Teams this year and the offense - on top of prior screw ups - should be enough to pull the trigger. But.....the money might not be there to support a change.
Assistant contracts are typically 2 year deals so I would assume this means he's signed up for the next three now.

There is a mitigation clause in Rhules contract. Says he has to find comparable work. Maybe not as a coach but could even be in broadcasting. So NU won't owe him the full $63 million buyout

Wishful thinking, SUH. Rhule was willing to release Holgorsen so he would be this season's sacrificial lamb. A new OC will help calm the waters and stop the boat from rocking until next fall.

Who in their right mind is giving a substantial chunk of $63 million dollars to Rhule in ANY capacity? Nobody in the B1G or SEC would consider hiring him as a coordinator. let alone a HC. Maybe some FCS team would hire him or some bottom of the barrel FBS. And only at a super discount.
No, nobody is going to help pay to clean up our mess.

They did with Pellini, and that was WITH Carl collared to him.
 
Yes, Pelini's contract reduced what he was owed from Nebraska. What was it, a couple hundred thousand? Even if Rhule found a job for a million a year, we would still be on the hook for about $60 million. And I don't thiink there's a million dollar/year job out there for him.
 
Honestly - I don't see how Matt Frost is still employed if we drop the next 3 games but that's just an opinion. The money folks will decide what is next.
I'm gonna get OhioHusker and but good for this Matt Frost crap. Seriously, it's funny as hell and I ROTFLMAO every time someone posts that way. Truly good stuff!
