Oso planning to go pro
Don’t disagree. Now that he’s had failure, though, I wonder if that seeps into how he coaches moving forward. It’s weird how hot shots like him can fizzle quick after their first taste of failure
I don't know. He was a terrible NFL coach, obviously, but he stepped into two terrible college situations and quickly made both programs respectable. Hard to imagine there's a more challenging college job out there than what he faced when he took over at Baylor. Which isn't to say that he'll have the same success, just that he's faced tougher circumstances and succeeded.
Feel like Rhule has Spurrier vibes. Succeeded at a program in a tough spot with relative success (Rhule at Temple, Spurrier taking over a moribund Duke team and winning their first conference title in 25+ years). Went to a good program that was in a rough spot (Rhule at Baylor, Spurrier taking over a Florida program that had been good at times but never a prime contender in the SEC). Flopped hard in a short stretch in the NFL (Carolina/Washington). Back to college. Spurrier didn't replicate what he did at UF in Columbia, but South Carolina had been alright, decent years under Holtz, and Spurrier made them a top 10 team in New Years Day bowls and won the SEC East. I think Rhule could do that. Georgia Tech makes the most sense for him, IMO. Given his geographic history. But Nebraska will pay a lot more.
The track record of coaches that had success in college, failed in the NFL, but came back to college football is pretty good. I would expect Rhule to find solid success wherever he goes. Auburn is another job that looks to be opening. If so, I would expect Rhule to be at the top of their list.
Those people in Auburn are nuts
True. But, so are the guys in Lincoln. At Auburn, I believe that it's still possible for a coach to achieve a high level of success. At Nebraska, that would require a time machine.Honestly, both jobs suck.
Auburn is a good job where you can build a consistent top 20 program that can even figure in the top 10 some years. Big-time resources and facilities. Money to burn. Best conference. Great recruiting territory. Solid tradition.The problem, the fan base looks to big brother to the west and demands similar results, or else. They might get that once ina blue moon, but expecting it consistently is silly. at least so long as Saban is still around.
The last former NFL head coach hired by Nebraska worked out so well...
No coach is going to met the expectations of that fanbase. They want Ohio State like results. Ain't happening.
Crazy how things change. 20 years ago, Ohio State wanted Nebraska type results (which they still have not seen).
Huh? Ohio State won the national championship exactly 20 years ago.The 2002 Buckeyes.
Raiders are curb stomping the Chiefs thus far.
Packers could use a guy like Davante Adams
I wouldn't have gone for 2 if I were McDaniels, but at least I understand why he did.But why the hell did Reid go for 2 on the previous possession by the Chiefs?
