Mind set is Yes, wait & see the gain the team will have.

Ron Joseph

Yes, I like our ODDS against PSU as we most likely won't play them due to a shortened season. I do think we will beat Minny regardless. They are a one year wonder.

Richard Stotts

PSU is at home as well as Minnesota. PSU is a bigtime club now, going to be tough to win.

James Key

They take both, but the unknown schedule will help or hurt. GBR

I would love to say both but cant Now we may not get to play either on of them? What a crazy world we have become!

Randy Weitzenkamp

We're likely to be underdogs for both. We might upset one of them (more likely the Gophers), but probably not both.

vincent mahon

I believe we defeat Minnesots

Brandon Vasholz

I really don't understand this, Minnesota had ONE good year, ONE, but now all of the sudden they're on this completely different level? Of course Nebraska can beat Minnesota.

Ryan Goecke

I don't see winning either. Huskers are not yet at that level. Huskers will probably surprise us this year both winning and losing games they shouldn't. Looking at a 4-6 season. Hope I'm wrong. GBR!!

Tom Nelsen

At some point in the Frost era the team will need to take a step forward. It will be refreshing to once again expect a winning season rather than debating whether the Huskers can beat MN at home.

As a lifelong cornhusker fan, I believe this is just the person to put things back together that were so messed up by the firing of Frankie Solich.

Richard Stotts

Solich was a HUGE mistake and why we slide into ditch. I guess you forget why Solich was fired...some thing about going up a one way the wrong way ?? I'll leave it at that.

Brad Bredenkamp

Proven builder and evident respect for Nebraska. So his overall college coaching record is .522; his two year 1s combined it's .125 (3-21) taking over damaged programs; year 2s is .520 (13-12) and his 3 years 3-4 it's .756 (31-10). Looks like a builder to me. Keep MJ and Busch and it should go well.

Scott Sonksen

Why the heck did Husker Nation think they deserved a better candidate than this? Let's be realistic and hope that Rhule is better than Frost and Riley, at minimum. If he's not, God help us.

James Stiver

I think that he has the experience in the college ranks to develop the players and turn this team back to the powerhouse it once was.

Ron Godwin

He is a builder for players future but he needs to keep Mickey Joseph and Bill Bush for me to like this hire.

Tim N

Proven winner. Development of players a strength, knows big ten.

Richard Stotts

Time will give us our answers. Nobody knows how this will turn out . GBR !!!

Brent Briley

It's too early to judge otherwise.

Brad Meister

no brainer

David Cassiday

Anyone who can lead Temple to two 10-win seasons knows what he's doing.

Thomas Wright

His resume for developing kids coming in that are more the 3 star kids as it’s rare Nebraska can real in the 4 & especially 5 star kids … he’s proven he can develop those kids into stars that are being drafted into the NFL … something that only Dr Tom could seem to do in the past !

Wade Williams

What's happened to the American education system? You keep things "real" whereas you "reel" in players. Come on man!

David Rohweder

will develope players

Cameron Snell

Matt is a great human being, and great leader of men. Highly regarded in the college circles and also in the state of Texas!!

Lisa Whisenhunt

He's had success as a college coach and has coached on both sides of the ball. So far, he seems to respect Nebraska football and the fans.

USMC Sully

experienced head coach, with proven rebuilding efforts

James Wyatt

GO BIG RED TILL I DIE!!!

Wade Williams

When it comes to coaching hires, there's no such thing as a "sure thing" or a guarantee of success (see Scott Frost). I think TA did a great job of executing a diligent and thorough nationwide search that resulted in a very good hire. One that gives Nebraska a great chance to turn it around quickly!

Bob Colbert

He mentioned "offensive line"

hm dude

he builds programs...........

John Fillmore

After celebrating the Scott Frost hire a few years ago I've learned to tread carefully about declaring who I think will be a great coach for the Huskers, but the evidence of his past work certainly looks promising.

Bruce Neel

He has done a very good job in the past with our kind of program so I hope he can do it again

Jayme Henderson

He would be good hire for 90% of programs in CFB. 90% of programs are better than nebraska right now, we need to be realistic about where we are as a program.

Dan Stephens

We need a guy that can turn us around and I believe he is that guy.

William Snesrud

High quality college coach....feel he will consider keeping a few current coaches with strong ties to roster and recruiting players (example - Joseph, Busch, Fisher)......Huskers Rhule.....GO BIG RED!!

Pokey

Come on, the options were all maybe mediocre at best coaches. Would all be in over their heads in Big 10 just like Frost. KU coach and staff, KSU coach and staff, ISU coach and staff, NCST coach and staff, Army coach and staff, Bronco M and his VA staff? No thank you. Choice was a no brainer.

Roy Lindfield

Proven program builder. His teams (ie Temple and Baylor) were know as punch you in the mouth type of teams. Nebraska will Rhule.

Thomas Wright

Love it ! Nebraska will Rhule !!

K St

Just another attempt by wealthy alums to buy a championship. Mickey had heart of team. Smart of Rhule to get 8yr contract. In yr 3 when alums want him gone he'll join list of coaches on payout payroll.

Troay Strong

Skeptical, never stayed long enough to measure if his programs were built to last. Bailed from each HC job after having his best year. Almost as if he doubted he could maintain the success.

Dennis

Good point. If Rhule was so good, why did he leave Temple or BU? One could argue for the $, but he’s obviously not committed to a program for the long run. He played TA for a fool but unfortunately Rhule held all the cards bc TA was desperate.

Dennis

Once again Neb hired the “man” rather than hiring someone who can fix the problems of poor defense and losing on both sides of the line of scrimmage. 64 days? He obviously was not the first choice.

Larry Smith

The last one who steped down from being an NFL head coach didn't work out well. That noted, who else was out there that was looking for a job? I'll wait to see if he produces.

Douglas Cook

I honestly thought Mickey could be the guy. He held it together and the defense made a huge jump from Chinanders debacle. He needed to get rid of WHipple, Give him a year with these players and see what would of happened. Couldn't been worse than Frost. Who was way over hyped!!!

Perre Neilan

He was horrible at Carolina and never beat a ranked team at Baylor

Josh McCloud

Mickey. Needed him.

Matt Seiler

On the fence about him still. The fact he didn’t say Go Big Red at the end of his interview and turned down the job once talked me onto this side

Jaghy Benson

Take it from a Panthers fan this guy is a con man. He’ll be fired within 3 years!!

Wade Williams

NFL success or lack thereof, means squat. Absolutely irrelevant! By your criteria, Nick Saban would have to be considered a fraud for that joke of a stint he served as the Dolphins head coach. Give me a break!

Alexanderthegreatandterrible

Worried we are going to lose Mickey, Busch and all the recruits that love Mickey.

Danny Baker

No, Mickey earned and has skin in the game. Matt will probably bolt in a couple of years.

Craig W

Washout from the NFL that reported had to be persuaded a 2nd time to take the job. Previous record against ranked teams is zero wins. Runs an spread offense with more focus on the pass than the run, might not work in the B10. Baylor was not a rebuild. He did nothing with them the 1st 2 years.

Wade Williams

Baylor was not a rebuild???? You're crazy!

Ruthie Patterson

Mickey Should Have Had A One Year Chance

K De Backer

Three years and he's gone....if you look at his history.

Wade Williams

I live in Jackson, MS and believe me, anyone who can do what he's done at an HBCU school like Jackson St can flat out coach and he talked the #1 overall recruit in the country into signing with them! Not to mention several other highly ranked recruits. Yes, he could get it done! JSU SUCKED B4 DEION!

Doug Broderick Jr.

The silver sluggers would never allow this. But I think hed be a breath of fresh air, but could be a PR nightmare for TA.

james bond

he will bring the energy we need to rebound the program. but like any program one coach don't do it alone need great assistants.

James Wyatt

I just feel Deion Sanders can recruit the 4&5 star recruits that will make Nebraska competitive! GBR

Charlie Knapper

Prime is the only coach out there capable of being able to handle the fish bowl that is Nebraska Football

Matt Seiler

Prime time would bring prime recruits and a winner’s attitude

Bill Reno Reida

No! He's more concerned about himself than anyting NU.

levi.goin85@gmail.com

His look at me narcissist style is not a fit for the state or the university...and he is not proven at the power 5 level.

Larry Smith

No, Deion would not be a good fit. Too much flash, not enough head coaching experience. That said, he has done a great job where he is.

Jeff Brown

He was a flamboyant player but he has no Power 5 coaching experience. Not a Nebraska culture kinda guy.

Brad Hill

cares more about Prime than the team.

Robert Lloyd

He is not qualified nor does he have leadership qualities. What a joke of a question to even have here. Let's get serious.

Vincent M Mankowski

Our largest challenge is someone who can not only bring in 4 and 5 star recruits, but to adapt them to the CULTURE at Nebraska and bring out the best of them within that culture. Deion Sanders is not a part of Nebraska Cornhusker culture and cannot bring that to players.

Robert Ebers

Promising, yet no experience as HC in the Power 5.

Richard Johnson

Nebraska MUST get this hire right. They simply cannot afford the risk of a coach with no power 5 coaching/recruiting experience. The stakes are to high to gamble.

Paul Billesbach

No matter the hype and potential, I want a qualified experienced HC who's exemplified those traits that we so desperately need. Deion could be that guy in a few years but I don't want to take the chance at this point that he's not.
