Our defensive staff is literally:

Al Holcomb- DC

Don Johnson- Pass Rush Specialist

Mike Siravo- Defensive Run Game Coordinator

Losing all the Rhule trash has only improved the results on the field. What were any of the departed coaches actually contributing to the team?

Honestly I feel this will just further cement Wilks being given a shot. He's legitimately working with a hand behind his back in terms of coaching staff and personnel that were handed to him, give me a legit OC and his leadership and watch this team flourish.

I've been watching the Nebraska fan reactions with some amusement. They sound a lot like we did one Rhule was hired here.

There are celebrants, doubters, supporters, detractors, doom and gloomers,  rationalizers, skeptics and believers all jockeying to get their word out ASAP.

Me? I'm just gonna grab some popcorn and watch what happens 😄

That would be my thought too. If they are so linked to Rhule that they want to follow him, let them go.  We don’t want them anyway.

I don't blame them. They were almost certainly gone from here at the end of the season anyway. They were dead men walking and Rhule needs to fill those roles ASAP because he's gotta get to recruiting.

Jeez sounds like Nebraska is opening up that check book..

I guess they really think he'll make Nebraska relevant again

They are desperate, and I don't say that because they bought into The Process.  They went from a powerhouse program consistently in the yearly discussion of national championship contenders to an also-ran in the also-ran division of the Big10.

I don't think Rhule can get them back into the annual championship discussion, but he probably can keep them in the mix at the top of the Big10 west, even when USC and UCLA join......assuming the conference keeps divisions.  But I don't see anything in his record that says he is going to suddenly dethrone Ohio State, Michigan, or even Penn State as the conference kings.

That level of success will brighten the mood in Lincoln, but I doubt they stay there without challenging and sometimes successfully hunting bigger game.  We don't know that Rhule can't eventually do that, only that he never has. 

Good luck to Nebraska.  My guess is they are going to be grumbling again somewhere around 4-6 years from now.

As far as his remaining staff leaving, they have 4-6 years of job security in Lincoln and if he does make them relevant again, more after that somewhere.

I wouldn't' be so down on him if he had shown amount of accountability or self-awareness during his time here. Dude just came across as not thinking he was a big part of the problem, even if he did actually realize that.

Exactly. Thus far the ceiling for Rhule on his best day has been double digit wins over bad college teams and getting pounded by any legit team. So big 10 west title seems about right.

    • That's why I pointed it out because Bryce hasn't either, so it's not like that could be used an excuse for the poor winning percentage. And yes, right now, Kyler is the better QB. I would show it to you in the same "statistical" way that I did for Car123 but you have basically admitted that Kyler will obviously be statistically better(which is very true) and somehow that isn't relevant. Regardless, whether eye or statistical, you have made literally no reasonable counter argument other than "there is another guy in this forum that said he saw Arizona games and he said Kyler wasn't as good" and that "he got benched."  That's really been the bulk of your argument so far.  As for a "clutch performer", leader and whatever in the world a "smooth operator" is.....I guess that's the PFF version of your rankings. 
    • The fact you're having to rely on "rushing yards per game" (he is averaging 18, Bryce is averaging 10) here is really telling lmao. I already gave the clear advanced differences. Shough is playing worse than Bryce. You are literally gassing up a worse, 2-4 QB for a rival team and I find that incredibly funny.
    • Okay so I took a look at this across a WIDE variety of overall metrics and statistical groups that should give an idea about overall play and some potential aggravating factors associated with their play.  Overall, I would say this indicates by the categories that I have detailed out that Tua and Geno are clearly the guys that are having worse seasons than Bryce. I would add that I am still of the opinion that they are better overall QB's given both capability and past performances. I will definitely concede there is not a solid statistical argument for them having a better year than Bryce, to date.  Here is the data I gathered and I have shaded the cells according to "better than" or "worse than" Bryce. In a couple of the categories, this is an inverse because I am indicating these were less aggravating situations than Bryce has had and therefore less excusable reasoning for sucking.  Let me know if there are any questions on the data/categories/etc.
