I’m not qualified to run an athletic department. I’ve never had to manage a budget that stretches well into nine figures or navigate the political waters Troy Dannen has to. So take my opinion for what it’s worth.
But there’s a case to be made this year should be Matt Rhule’s last.
I’ve written positive, perhaps undeservedly flattering things about Rhule before. I wanted this to work. We all did.
Rhule hits all the right notes. He reveres Nebraska’s history. Welcomes its former players. He even got Frank Solich to finally come home to receive his flowers.
