Article: Matt Rhule suddenly is everywhere - May not be getting the attention he expected

I wonder if he is trying to stay in the lemon light, to audition for another coaching job?  Maybe Auburn.

Auburn just dumped a a coach from outside the southeast without a clue as to how to compete and recruit in the SEC.

It was an unmitigated disaster. That kind of disaster even got the AD who hired him a pink slip.

Auburn doesn’t need to follow that up with yet another coach with zip, zilch, nada in their pocket concerning recruiting and relationships with high schools in the southeast.

Sounds like Nebraska is back on Rhule after being spurned by the Kansas coach.

I still think that fit makes all the sense in the world for both parties.

There were reports that Rhule turned them down and that they walked away from him.  I wasn't interested enough to dig into it to see which one was more likely true.

Colorado and Arizona State both have recruiting issues, trying to pull from California and Texas since the talent in their respective states is not enough.  The Process can sound pretty convincing to a 17-year old.  I've heard Nebraska recruits okay, but their coaching has been a bigger issue.  Rhule doesn't help that problem, although he could improve their recruiting.

I think Arizona State may be his best fit, only because Nebraska will start having grander expectations once the ship stabilizes.  The Process has not proven it can consistently hunt big game in two stints in college and one in the pros.

I wonder if Snow wants to have another go at it, or at 67 (next month) whether he has had enough?  Without Snow, Rhule is nothing but hot air.

I am embarrassed he coached our team.  Everyone can see what a fraud he is.  He comes across as incompetent in these interviews, someone who talks a lot without saying much and clearly doesn’t know how to coach at the NFL level

I do agree.  However, there have been plenty of embarrassing coaches with other NFL teams.  Les Miles comes to mind with Jacksonville.  Also, who was that college coach who accepted the Atlanta job, then snuck out to take a college job.

Mike Shula for Cincinnati . One of his players disrespected him on national tv.  The player pulled Mikes cap over his face

The embarrassment won’t be bad after a few wins.

The Athletic confirmed that Nebraska had already offered him the job earlier this month, but he wasn't satisfied with the offer so they continued negotiating until he got what he wanted.

Basically, Florio's read on the situation was total bullsh-t.

    • Right. But you do understand that there is no such thing as not signing free agents, right? That's what I mean. So make some good free agency moves and do well in the draft. That's step one. If you can't accomplish that, then this will just keep getting worse.
    • Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
