Yeah I thought ASU would've been a better fit in regards to managing and meeting expectations, especially with the upcoming departures in the PAC. Nebraska's heyday seems well past, and there aren't many compelling reasons for someone to go play in the middle of nowhere at what has become an afterthought and overshadowed by the competition.

That said, there's no reason to think he can't have them competitive with the rest of the Big 10, other than the 3 or 4 usual powers at the top in that conference. 

That is the battle Nebraska faces, and your last sentence is about the top of what I see them achieving.  The problem is, I don't think that will be good enough for Cornhusker faithful after two or three seasons of it.

Remember when Bridgewater was destroyed for saying the coaching staff was a clown show... sorry Teddy

That was when I started to turn on The Process.  The deflection and tap dancing only got worse from there.

The answer was that "WE" need to do better in order to move forward.  But that would mean The Process was owning the ultimate accountability, and he wasn't going to do that.

College fans are much more passionate than pro fans.  I am sure there is little patience left in Nebraska.  "5 year plan" will get a moving van parked in his driveway.

His previous tenures took three years to build a winner.

Mmm, I suddenly have a craving for meatballs.

Welp, Rhule is now at the helm of a major college program.

He will have every opportunity to prove his critics wrong.

My money is still on him turning out to be more conman than coach.

That clown is still butthurt that he couldn't cut in the NFL.

This was the moment I realized he was just a conman

Matt Rhule just cannot seem to keep the Carolina Panthers out of his mouth, even if they've moved on to a prosperous future under new head coach Frank Reich.

And yet, the pity party continues for Matt Rhule.

Months after he was mercifully fired after another embarrassing home loss against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 5, Rhule just cannot seem to keep the Panthers out of his mouth. Of course, this doesn't have anything to do with holding himself accountable for the team's failings under such incompetent leadership - rather blaming everyone and everything but himself for a downward spiral that left the franchise in tatters.

Carolina Panthers cannot get away from Matt Rhule
The Panthers were a joke under Rhule. There were other factors in play, for sure, but the buck stopped with the primary figurehead after team owner David Tepper ludicrously gave him absolute power and a whopping contract to prise the coach from Baylor.

Once Tepper eventually saw the error of his ways, things immediately began improving. But based on Rhule's comments via Pete Thamel of ESPN recently, it's clear the former coach is far from happy about his perceived treatment in Carolina.

Rhule makes it sound like his time in Carolina was akin to a bad day in Baghdad. But his lack of personable traits and the lack of accountability meant he was always on the back foot with fans.

Excuses came in plentiful supply and on a weekly basis. Whether it was the Jay-Z reference or throwing his coaches and players under the bus, there was nothing this con man wouldn't do to save his own skin.

The players could smell this a mile away. Based on their statements since Rhule was finally removed, there was no talent development and a college-type environment in a professional setting as one man's dictatorship propelled the Panthers into the proverbial football wilderness.

If Rhule thinks his treatment was bad, he should have tried watching such an inept football product from the stands. At times, it was like being tortured for information you didn't have, and only when Steve Wilks assumed command did a level of professionalism return.

Rhule's silver tongue and salesman-like qualities are going down a storm in Nebraska as he looks to restore the program to past glories. But throwing shade at the Panthers and their fanbase, in particular, at every turn makes him look like the jilted ex-lover that cannot stand seeing a previous partner thrive away from the relationship.

It's embarrassing beyond measure. But very in character.

.... Rhule almost never seemed like a good fit at the pro level. From commandeering final say over the roster to reportedly controlling the team’s social media offerings and parking spots, his . . . um . . . stylings were always best suited at the college level.

Oh, and the actual on-field product wasn’t great either. The Panthers—in their two seasons and change under the first-time NFL head coach—went 11-27 and cycled through a sickening carousel of starting quarterbacks.

It is absolutely a small sample, but of the handful of Nebraska fans I know, either online or in real life, they all seem to think that Rhule was put in a impossible no-win situation, and then was scapegoated after 2 and a half seasons. Subsequently, they have completely bought in to the notion of him returning them to their glory days, and they are expecting a playoff appearance, especially now with the expansion of the field. Winning 7 or 8 games and a trip to the Independence bowl versus a K-State or the like is not going to be good enough. Right now their expectations are out of control.
