Eliminating conference championship games is criminal. College football playoff committee has dropped the ball and stolen from us

Fun thought experiment:
Best win % for starting Qb’s under Rhule at Nebraska? Heinrich Haarberg
Rhule’s only win against Illinois? Same guy
Here is my theory why: Haarberg while I loved him and felt he was let down by the previous staff as a quarterback was limited in that moment, also the receivers were decimated with injuries and he was relying on freshman for the most part who were extremely raw and not developed. What was the solution? Lean into a specific identity that allowed you to lean into his talents, and the other talent you had available around him.
What has happened since? Despite wanting a “downhill” run game and mobile QB we signed a statue QB (didn’t have a problem with Dylan’s signing except the entire offense was built around a mobile quarterback through two Rhule classes including that one). 2 years later you have an Air Raid OC, calling plays from whatever style they’re attempting while forcing a 5’10” QB who wants to use his legs stand in the pocket.
As stated last night, no clear vision, no clear direction. That’s your problem, and until you lean into something besides saying “we want be able to run when we want to run and vise versa” it won’t matter who the OC is, or the players.
Pick an identity and lean into it
@CoachUrbanMeyer why are you on Big Noon and not in Lincoln signing your new contract to save Nebraska football?
The most frustrating thing is I see countless opposing fans talk about how Nebraska fans deserve better. Even the occasional Colorado and Iowa fans will say it. When will the University go all in and agree? No budget hires, no funding the opposite of the previous guy, no going back to the old connections. Go get a winner we deserve, otherwise the sellout streak dies. When that dies it’ll take multiple years to get the younger fans fully invested again. The president, the regents, and Troy need to go all in on fixing this together.
(I know Frost was the right hire at the time and Bo was a good hire but Bo was decided the day TO came back as AD. Every coaching hire since he retired has either been hand picked by him, or just an absolute fumble except for Frost, Frost fumbled it himself).
I don’t want my children to grow up having to watch a Matt Rhule coached Nebraska team because our AD extended him for winning 5 games against Dana College JV club teams.
Don’t make my kids go though this @WarrenBuffett
@WarrenBuffett if you can hear us. Your state needs you and your money more than any one else in the world. Do what needs to be done
Matt rhule truly doesn’t have an offensive vision for what he wants his team to look like.
If he does he cannot clearly articulate that vision for an offensive coordinator to execute it.
If he did there would be consistent “pet” or go to plays.
If there were, there’d be a consistent theme of what you’re trying to do in certain situations.
But none of that happens.
Can’t wait to be back on the 6% coupon tomorrow. Coming soon 5.5%? @HomeLoanBill @AdvisorJohn
