Wisconsin Week Practice Thread; 21 November Coach Rhule

Coach Rhule has lost some steam, it is quite obvious. First time I have heard him be a bit snappy on the Malachi question. Pressure is on...
I feel like he's been really nice since he's been at Nebraska. I talked to him and dealt with his staff a few times when he was at Baylor, he never came off as friendly to me. They were always honest, direct, and fair. He was about business. All about ball and the players, winning and being good students....I just wonder if he lost some of that since. Who knows why.
 


On Bed Red Wrap Up, Damon Benning mentioned Clark as a guy he thought Holgerson could have been referring to about a young guy he recognized as deserving playing time. Benning said he's biased because he talks to Quinn frequently but likes how he looks.
 
His energy varies at press conferences a bit (he was 'normal' Monday), but you're right on the sharpness of his Coleman response.
To his point, this is senior day, it's a rival game, we are facing our second week with a new OC, do we really need to focus on a guy who is a redshirt this year and hasn't played meaningful minutes?

We get it, he's a highly rated local kid rumored to be heading out the door, but with the Portal not even open yet, it's up to the player to announce his intentions.
 
There is no reason for Rhule to feel pressure. He has 6 more years on his contract at 9m a pop. I’m sure he is frustrated, but it’s up to him to change that. That’s his job. There is ZERO pressure. Fire him, and you owe him 50m+. That’s not pressure, at all. That’s pure joy. Now go and meet these damn problems head on, and start winning. No pressure whatsoever.
 
Ever since Indiana took us to the wood shed I’ve thought Coach Rhule looks like he’s not enjoying this. Which is perhaps appropriate. And today while professional he definitely seemed in a foul mood.

I can understand his Demeanor his team has under performed most of the year, the team is on a 4 game losing streak, He had to demote / fire someone who has been working with him for years, the pressure that not only the fans and admin bring but being a competitive person himself I'm sure he is frustrated and I would guess the pressure of knowing that he is probably going to have to fire more coaches in the off season, but only coach knows for sure.
I wouldn't know myself, but just because he makes millions of dollars a year doesn't mean he doesn't have feelings. I just hope he puts the overall program above feelings in order to be successful
