Did anyone ask Rhule during his media tour why he was so scared to draft a QB with a top 10 pick his 3 drafts here?

He was asked why he didn't take Fields or Jones and his response was a bunch of words and then Herbert went before their pick the year before lol. Clown of a man. Also that if he knew he only had 2.5 years he would have made a blockbuster trade, when the reality is he tried to trade for Stafford and Watson and they said hell nah. I'm glad he finally decided to shut his mouth this week, that media tour didn't do him any favors and I imagine his agent and Nebraska let him know it

He fugged up from day one.  Talking how he couldn't wait to work with Cam, blah, blah, blah.  Then turn around and release your QB for a journeyman QB better known as "check down" Teddy.   That snowball started to get bigger with Darnold being the man.  We gave a valuable 2nd round pick for basically nothing in return.  Sam "I see Ghosts" Darnold bombed out after 3 games.  Rhule than turns to Baker "Happy Feet" Mayfield and he was supposed to finally fix our QB problem.  NOT.  Then out of desperation he turned to his savior at Temple PJ "I shouldn't be on a roster" Walker to save him.  

Rhule's biggest problem was his Tepper fueled ego.  Tepper gave him so much power, Rhule must have thought he was some sort of football deity.   Like he has the secret formula, that has been hiding in the family receipt book, for ultimate success in the NFL. 

It would have been much simpler to start your "7-year plan" with a former MVP. Though Cam was limited he was still better than any of the garbage that came after him.  He could have built a good offensive line and drafted a young QB to learn from Cam.  Instead, he did something no team has ever done. Used all his picks on one side of the ball.

Just glad he's gone.

I just don’t get it. Does he just not present well to the media and shines behind closed doors or something? 

I haven’t heard him say anything that would indicate he’s not a narcissistic fraud.

No, we have a dumb owner, and had the worst GM in the league.

Speaking of Rhule, just did some looking around and apparently word is that for the first time in a long time, he's going to have to do the job without Phil Snow as his DC.

I'll be curious to see who he gets instead. There's some speculation he could go after Jim Leonhard since he's now out at Wisconsin.

There's talk that some NFL teams might also be looking at Leonhard.

Phil Snow is what Matt Rhule stood on as he faked his way through football.    

If I was Nebraska, Phil Snow would have had to be part of the deal if Rhule was coming.  I mean, does anyone actually do their homework on these coaches before spending millions?

Apparently they don't.  Nebraska may have just booked the dummy without booking the ventriloquist.

What was the word? I looked real quick and nothing. Is he still going to coach?

Either way that is some heavy info for Rhule and I find it hilarious.

It's all scattered chatter, but apparently there's some belief that Snow's going to retire.

What makes me take it seriously is the fact that while Rhule has already filled several positions on his staff, he hasn't named a DC.

If it were Snow, you'd think he'd be there already.

It get it, it's unconfirmed but others have already joined him so it's reasonable logic. It's crazy they hired him without Snow given their history. That guy must give amazing interviews with these people lol.

I did find that odd when it wasn't announced about 30-seconds after The Process was hired. 

Snow is going to be 67 in a couple of weeks.  While there are a decent number of coaches older than that, very few started over at that age.  Most were fixtures somewhere when that age came around.  I can't blame him if he is calling it a career.

Who knows?  After The Process' "Don't Blame Me For My Failures" book tour last week, maybe Snow can't warm up to the idea of carrying him anymore, either.  Snow may have even had to be the one to tell him he sounded effing crazy.

      All I can say is... I have some happiness off the rags choking and losing to the Panthers. Hopefully the Western conference team wins the Stanley cup, but now I can be 100% uninvested in the playoffs

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
