Can confirm we have asked (or want to) retain Mickey. What people have to remember is if MJ wants to coach here still under Rhule? He will have a ton of options. He’s our #1 recruit right now for the new HC.

As I’ve been telling people, redshirting wasn’t about anything other than being more attractive in the portal. This is a kid Rhule and the #huskers absolutely had to recruit, but he had more red flags than a Chinese consulate.

If your team has cops block midfield so the opposing team can’t do their prayer before the game, then try and get mad that they didn’t shake your hand at the coin toss first time meeting after that, you are a clown and Skip Bayless’ing things to be mad at. #huskers

It's my opinion that Rhule won't end up at Penn State, but will use this to try and get more backing. In his presser he specifically brought up our NIL needing to be better and get to the "35-40 million dollar rosters that aren't going away." He's a calculated guy.

I like how we are so beaten down by being Nebraska fans that we are now having people give us all the reasons Rhule won't succeed here and ignoring 90% of national media telling us how great of a hire this is. Your ammo to combat the negativity here:

Kind of in shock, but not really, that so many fans are so beaten down after the past years they think we just got told no by everyone which is why we waited and why these other coaches are signing extensions. What if I told you one finally signed because WE moved on?

In less than a 12 month span, Nebraska has had its chancellor, president, and now AD move on from Lincoln. That’s an issue.

I also want to say that I agree with Rhule we need more NIL, we are in the 25-40 range nationally. But until he only loses to teams on our schedule with more of it like Mich, USC, Penn State, I’m not sure how much traction he will get. Minny game was not an NIL issue.

Trev Alberts talking about his stadium project and the lack of a President at Nebraska. I would say this is one of the issues that has/had him looking. Maybe not the whole reason, as I think other things are issues as well, but food for thought.

I think some of us need to take a step back and think about what Alberts laid out for qualities he was looking for in the next HC when we run with some of these “sources say X will be next HC at Nebraska” tweets. Just really stop and think about it and move on.

I defended Chinander due to how hard it was to be a DC for a guy like Frost. Those offenses are where great DCs go to die. Bookmark this, but I’m not buying the USC hype and DC White is here in 2024.

Starting to feel much more comfortable me with our OL recruiting than I was two weeks ago. Would I prefer Pyform over a couple of them, yes. But when we finish this class out, Raiola will have done a hell of a job. And I was a skeptic. Now coach em’ up.

This is going to end badly for Michigan.
Insane Connor Stalions video from the 2022 Ohio State game.
Stalions tells DC Jesse Minter "run right" on 2nd and 9 for OSU.
Michigan immediately crashes both safeties, leaves the middle of the field wide open, and the Buckeyes run offset to the middle-right.

Have to agree with @vegasbedwards from this morning on the radio that Matt Rhule would be a ‘Grand Slam hire’ for us. Conference title at Temple, Conf coach of the year at Baylor during a scandal. I’m a little surprised our fans aren’t more on board with him.

When people say “Frost was a sure thing” to discredit fans and medias positivity is about the dumbest thing I’ve been reading today. 1) no one is saying Rhule is a sure thing 2) should we get someone that everyone thinks sucks? Our fans are pretty comical sometimes.

And with this, after season 2 HC Matt Rhule is without all 3 coordinators he came to #huskers with. 2 relieved of their duties, one left for a lateral move. Great he’s willing to make changes, but part of me wonders what could have been with the right guys in place at year 1.

Some context on the background of this tweet (since been deleted) per source. @Channel8ABC
-Training Table is Closed this week to everyone for maintenance, etc., to prepare for upcoming seasons, school year
-This is common every year
-This was communicated to all teams and staff well in advance
-Re-opens next week
- Teams regularly cater meals specifically for their student-athletes using their own budget funding, especially during times when the training table is closed

Nebraska had 9 drives against Minny, 4 of which ended in turnovers. Nebraska averaged 12.66 in 2022. Differences aside, possessions are a premium in 2023 and turnovers are that much bigger of a deal.

So many power conference teams just grabbing every transfer they can for a spring tryout period where they aren’t obligated to them past the academic calendar. Players wanted paid, this is what they got. There will be so many players without a home post-spring.

I don’t get the take that Rhule has been wanting to put Sims back in for awhile. I think HH had taken enough shots and we need him the rest of the way, and Sims is our backup. But we did solidify who won’t be starting again.

It’s just comical at this point. These guys leaving were the ones last year that were considered “Louis” and massive upgrades. When Prime is gone in Boulder CU is going to have zero players on their roster.

I have a lot of great content for next week after a few conversations over drinks. How Rhule and his staff are doing locally so far, why "just put them on NIL scholarship" to get to 85 isn't a real thing, and how excited should we be about these transfers we are getting?

Just preparing everyone for a big weekend (in a good way). But does Rhule start matching NIL for high school prospects? Save Raiola, we haven't had to, or haven't done that yet. We can have a huge haul if we go for it (our NIL is ready).

Not happy how my college football is getting ruined.
In Charlotte for ACC championship presser. Of note, Mack Brown says one UNC starter told him he has 15 offers to transfer, for NIL $. Mack calls it a huge problem, "people that are tampering with your team" trying to lure them. Thinks UNC has lost 5 recruits because of it, too.

Nebraska baseball basically has to live in the JUCO and transfer portal recruiting world, all while having a lower NIL budget than teams like Iowa and others. Something that makes 2 conference titles and 2 regional appearances in 4 years very impressive under Bolt IMO. #huskers

While I won’t go as far to call people fake football guys, this tweet resonates a ton with me. We haven’t gone to a bowl since 2016 and we are worried about guys leaving? I hope Rhule can bring in 50 guys.

If the numbers I’m hearing are right for what MJ wants in salary as an assistant, you’ll have to pay each coordinator 1.5, and be at 4 million minimum for those 3 and need to hire 7 more guys. Frosts asst salary pool was 5.15 for comparison. I think we get in the 7’s for our pool

With the largest roster in FBS thanks to our walk-ons, i'll never understand how for 4 years we didn't tackle in practice to avoid injuries. While MJ has had his struggles, I did see almost instant improvement when he and Busch moved to live tackling. Gives me hope for 2023.

I have this play in my spring game write-up. This guy touches on it a tad, but it’s about how DR knows the offense so well he barely fakes it because the run isn’t there, getting it out quick is the important part. The fake was not important. He’s super intelligent.
