Rate your confidence in the Matt Rhule hire

[Blue Howl]

Here is your chance to get on record with what you think about the Matt Rhule hire. We can revisit this thread in a year or two or three to see who was Nostradamus or who was just dumb.

I voted 2 - cautiously optimistic.

 

[djlhuskerfan]

He was probably about the best out there

 

[Positively RED]

I think it’s a slam dunk. He will begin rebuilding asap and NU will be competitive in the BIG Ten next year, and moving toward national relevance in year two. I hope Mickey stays and Bill Busch finds a place at NU as well, if possible. I can’t wait to see how the staff rounds out. Brighter days ahead. GBR!!!

 

[SierraRed]

There was no slam dunk candidate, but Rhule was the best realistic option.

 

[Oldgrappler]

Could have done better.

 

[Blue Howl]

Could have done better.

I'm surprised. I thought for sure you would vote #5.

 

[HuskerNCorpus]

I think it’s a GREAT hire, but I’m a little gun-shy after what’s happened here previously.

[Blue Howl]

No it's not.

 

[RedRum]

I just hope we can be competitive next year and not take the step back like year 1 in other jobs.

There are no guarantees . . . so I can't go with certain to be successful. You could drop Saban, Smart or Meyer in here and still not be assured of anything.

But Ruhle was for sure in my top 5 and I think he COULD be the right kind of coach to turn NU around. So I'm excited and cautiously optimistic. For what NU needs right now, Ruhle is a really good hire, IMHO.

 

[mjohnson]

I believe it was a slam dunk but only time will tell.

 

[Porkchopexpress]

I'm somewhere between #1 and #2, but chose #1 because I do think this is a slam dunk. Once he was fired from Carolina, I was hopeful that Trev would make him the top focus in his search. My only issue with Rhule is that he's been a job jumper in the past.

 

[ksuhusker]

I voted #2, I won't be picking us to be 12-0 next year. Let's see what the staff looks like, and I may switch to 12-0 just because that's what I want.

Could have done better.

what a shock
