Article: Matt Rhule suddenly is everywhere - May not be getting the attention he expected

I wonder if he is trying to stay in the lemon light, to audition for another coaching job?  Maybe Auburn.

Auburn just dumped a a coach from outside the southeast without a clue as to how to compete and recruit in the SEC.

It was an unmitigated disaster. That kind of disaster even got the AD who hired him a pink slip.

Auburn doesn’t need to follow that up with yet another coach with zip, zilch, nada in their pocket concerning recruiting and relationships with high schools in the southeast.

Sounds like Nebraska is back on Rhule after being spurned by the Kansas coach.

I still think that fit makes all the sense in the world for both parties.

There were reports that Rhule turned them down and that they walked away from him.  I wasn't interested enough to dig into it to see which one was more likely true.

Colorado and Arizona State both have recruiting issues, trying to pull from California and Texas since the talent in their respective states is not enough.  The Process can sound pretty convincing to a 17-year old.  I've heard Nebraska recruits okay, but their coaching has been a bigger issue.  Rhule doesn't help that problem, although he could improve their recruiting.

I think Arizona State may be his best fit, only because Nebraska will start having grander expectations once the ship stabilizes.  The Process has not proven it can consistently hunt big game in two stints in college and one in the pros.

I wonder if Snow wants to have another go at it, or at 67 (next month) whether he has had enough?  Without Snow, Rhule is nothing but hot air.

I am embarrassed he coached our team.  Everyone can see what a fraud he is.  He comes across as incompetent in these interviews, someone who talks a lot without saying much and clearly doesn’t know how to coach at the NFL level

I do agree.  However, there have been plenty of embarrassing coaches with other NFL teams.  Les Miles comes to mind with Jacksonville.  Also, who was that college coach who accepted the Atlanta job, then snuck out to take a college job.

Mike Shula for Cincinnati . One of his players disrespected him on national tv.  The player pulled Mikes cap over his face

The embarrassment won’t be bad after a few wins.

The Athletic confirmed that Nebraska had already offered him the job earlier this month, but he wasn't satisfied with the offer so they continued negotiating until he got what he wanted.

Basically, Florio's read on the situation was total bullsh-t.

    • He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc. 
    • The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position. 
    • Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
