Yep. With the top 10 money programs gathering the developed talent. Rinse, lather, and repeat.

It's not about your tradition, conference, or fan support anymore. It's about who your billionaire sugar daddy is.

Who is buying our developed players?

Oregon has talent oozing out of every pore in their system. They have been a top 10 recruiting team for years. They get more top 150 players in one year than we get in 5-10 years. They get 5-10 players drafted every year.

Our roster is lucky to get one or two players drafted per year. We are lucky to get a day 1 player drafted.

Jimmy's and Joe's not X's and O's.

Our geography and lack of credibility as an elite program are the two biggest hindrances our program faces. Our revolving door coaching staff and constantly changing systems is close behind.

If we finish above .500, I'll consider myself pleasantly surprised.

Money sure helps alot.

So you’re saying a top 25 roster shouldnt expect more than 6 wins? Ok gotcha. Oregon isn’t unbeatable. NU should compete against them. They aren’t chopped liver. Indiana beat them twice last year, with only 6, 4* players on its roster. Location is BS excuse. Nebraska constantly does less with more.

Maybe coaching does count!
 
Well it is hard to gwr excited anymore. The coach speak does not ever translate to the field. After every loss its always the same speac,
Vegas has Huskers at this point in wins O/U 6.5
Until Neb wants to win in the BIG they are going to have the change in Rhules philosophy and the metaphysics surely needs to be looked at
 
I look at all of the coaches at other Div-1 schools and even mid- majors who are energetic, smart, innovative, young, and passionate about their teams and I'm not sure Matt Rhule is one of those guys. In Matt I see a guy who loves the limelight, loves the Nebraska culture, loves the perks but when placed side by side with many of his fellow coaches comes across as less a leader and more like a follower. Next season is going to be make or break for him. If he doesn't win at least 9 games I think he will be done in Lincoln. I do not like his side hustle pod cast either. I don't see how it enhances husker success.

Welp, you can only say "I love this team" in preseason so many times and have fans not be skeptical, so I understand the low-key off-season this year. I also understand the podcast. I've never listened to it but I assume the intent is to create buzz about Nebraska. Whether or not that is effective is up for debate.

I don't think he'll be done in Lincoln unless the floor absolutely drops to only 2 or 3 wins, which I don't see happening. I do think the ceiling in '26 is 6 wins.
 
Just looked at '27 schedule. Other than Ohio State & Oregon, it looks very do-able.

It absolutely matters. NU, on the field has been mostly poorly coached. Lots of self inflicted disasters. NU needs to find a young Bob Stoops type. Brash, confident, and NO EXCUSES. All the fans get are excuses as to why NU sucks. The coaching has to be elite at NU and it’s just not. Hasn’t been since about 2011. Subpar coaching will get you killed in todays CFB.

I'm not sure we want to spend all that money to buy out his contract. I don't think he would get fired this year for a poor season, but he won't get his contract extended again (I hope) until he starts winning more games.

ESPN, 10/30/25:
Nebraska has signed coach Matt Rhule to a two-year contract extension that will take him through the 2032 season, the school announced Thursday. The extension includes an increase in Rhule's buyout this season to $15 million from $5 million...

I think he'll be around for awhile, unless NU really tanks (less than 5 wins and a loss to one of the non-conference cupcake games.)
