Matt Rhule’s stark message on Nebraska progress sparked backlash

Matt Rhule's meeting with the media on Friday was full of interesting tidbits, including official announcements of the new staff. However, it was when the Nebraska football head coach talked about his progress after Year 3 that Husker fans took notice for the wrong reasons.

"I’ve had to do a lot of that stuff because someone else didn’t do it," Rhule said. "I shouldn’t have had to do it. Some people take over programs; they don’t have to do that. We had to do a lot of stuff."

In refuting talks that Nebraska has hit the "reset" button this offseason with the firing of several staff members, as well as Dylan Raiola and a starting defensive back, Rhule continued laying out the mess he inherited.
