It was relevant when NU hired Callahan. Yes the NFL is different, we all know that, but losing is still losing, and he has lost his fair share. Hard to ignore, at least for me. Not saying he’s a bad coach, he isn’t. NU could definitely do worse. He’s going to get too much money imo, and personally, I don’t think he is worth 7-9 m per for what your getting. The level of losing he’s had, to me, subtract from his 3-4 years of pretty good football. It would most certainly, be of concern.Bro, the roster was gutted. That’s a fact. That’s partly why it took until year three to fully turn it around. But let’s go with your premise, that Rhule was left with a solid roster. He still coached them to 11 wins. Three out of his seven years as a CFB head coach his team had at least ten wins. Do you dismiss that fact? Does that not suggest that he must be a pretty damn good coach?
On your second point, he was fired from an NFL team. I don’t give two chits about his NFL record, and neither should you. It’s irrelevant to his ability as a CFB head coach.
