Certain posters wanted him to be HC here

No poster in their right mind isn't stoked AF with who we hired.

BOB's the guy I expected Nebraska to hire. It would have worried me a lot more than Rhule.

He is a winner, no doubt. I know a couple of guys that played for him in Houston and they both say he can make the game too complex.
That tracks with what I saw at Alabama this year. Alabama’s offense looked like it had sand in the gears every time I saw them.
I do think he is a good coach however. I just think he is not cut out to be a college OC.

Saban should go with Jim Leonhard at DC. I thought I read after Brady left LSU that he doesn't like to recruit?

Leonhard would be a solid choice, and a mutually beneficial landing spot.

I had read that too about Brady. I don’t want to say his career has gone south, but stalled out a bit, going from two years at the Panthers OC under Rhule, fired with him, and now the QB coach for the Bills. I‘d expect he’d see what his options may be in the NFL first, but Bama may be a good spot, even if college isn’t first choice.

Agreed, but I am genuinely curious about people’s expectations for Rhule, not how Nebraska fans perceive their program. Would you really be surprised if he got them to 6 wins in year one, 7-8 wins in year two and 9 wins in year three, only to fall back to 6-7 wins in years four and five?

He had similar progressions at Temple and Baylor and hate to say it but I expect him to have success at Nebraska. I guess I wouldn't be surprised if he had a regression from 9-10 wins back to 6 or 7 in year 3 or 4, but I also wouldn't expect them to bounce back. We don't know if he can sustain that level of high success since he didn't stay at either place long enough.

If I'm looking at them objectively (I'm not-I'm going to hammer their under AGAIN), I wouldn't pick anything better than 4-8. That's what they've been for the last few years, and they haven't undergone the kind of roster transformation we have here.

That's kind of my point. He was viewed as the best HC candidate out there where people said he could be picky and wait for a blue blood to open up, and I'm honestly just not sure if that was accurate. He is a proven builder at both the G5 and P5 level, but he left each place as soon as he was entering the "sustain success" stage. Had Mike MacIntyre jumped to the NFL after 2016, I think many people would have viewed him in a similar light, but he stayed and everyone saw that he wasn't a guy who could sustain any success.

I think he will get Nebraska back to being respectable, but I just won't be surprised if in 4-5 years, things have plateaued there at 7-8 wins/year, which still makes them irrelevant in the B1G.
 
Gattis tends to gravitate to passing game when he doesn't have a HC to keep him away from those tendencies. When he plays power football with his system, it's fantastic offense.
