    I think Nebraska finally found a Coach that fits everything from culture, recruiting, development, and leadership. Matt seems to get it all.
  • @huskerdee1431
    Im pretty sure Matt Rhule has done more interviews this offseason than Pelini, Riley, and Frost combined. I truly think this is apart of his recruiting strategy. Players like a coach that’s involved
  • As a die hard Husker fan, I've been extremely happy with coach Rhule and his entire staff on how they develop these young men and the culture at the University of Nebraska hasn't been better in a long time. Great show, God bless and GBR 🌽 🏈 💪🏽
  • @foosful
    That was a great interview with Matt Rhule. I consider Nebraska a blue blood, but one that will be forgotten if Rhule is unable to turn it around. I believe he will, and it does not hurt that he now has a 5 star and a 4 star QB with another 4 star commit. Im curious to see how he does in 2024.
  • @kellymaas8464
    I am impressed by Greg's interview skills and his insightful questions.
  • @pegsmith1110

  • @strangedayz24
    This is what nebraska needed, a coach thats transparent, lots of energy, embraces the nebraska culture and mindset. Hes a great recruiter and you can tell the players respect him and will go the extra mile for him.

    This guy is a great interviewer
  • @AUZlE
    Nebraskans love our coaching staff.
  • @adriankelly6487
    “Scott Frost did a great job”. First lie I’ve heard from coach Rhule
  • I just requested Joel Klatt to do a post spring game QB rankings. I would love to have the ranking of the top ten best quarterback performances in the spring game, with appropriate consideration for Arch Manning and Davis Warren. I would be curious to know McElroy's thoughts on this one as well.
