Matt Rhule and his reclamation projects

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.

    • My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

    • His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems. 
    • Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
