Finebaum Tells Rhule "Stay In Your Lane!!"

[PlutoDroid]

In response to Rhule saying the B1G deserves 4 at large bids in the new playoff. Finebaum criticized Rhule on his short NFL stint, his inability to stay longer than a few years when he does have some success, and his assertion that Nebraska is somehow in the same class as Georgia and Ohio State.

He told Rhule to leave being a pundit to the "experts". To answer Lane Kiffin who asked him at SEC media days what he was good at, to which Finebaum could only chuckle. I guess he is good at being a pundit. After all , he's an "expert".

I don't know which is more ridiculous. Finebaum or Nebraska fans who think they are still an elite program. I guess I'll just enjoy the two clowns getting chased down by the bull.

Rhule gets paid to promote the B1G brand. Finebaum is a cranky old man sometimes.

If Rhule actually said or even hinted at Nebraska being in the same class as Ohio State or Georgia, then he is a perfect fit at “Nowledge” U. Only Lincoln, Nebraska has that next level of delusion.

No kidding. Nebraska needs to reach the same level as Iowa first.

Can you imagine Gopher fans in the 1980s and ‘90s still claiming blue blood status?

Absolutely laughable. 🤣

 

[OutbackBowl2017]

Finebalm is an idiot, no clue how he has gotten to where he is today, dude fails upward and looks like Mr Burns……

 

[pistachio1999]

I'm kinda torn on Rhule yet. He doesn't come across as the ass that Frost was.

Absolutely not the same ass factor. Frost had perhaps the most punchable face in football and watching that Nebbie golden boy go down in flames was glorious .

These are tough times for an Iowa fan. I want to hate the guy, but he makes it really hard to do so.

 

[Hawk_4shur]

Kind of dumb thing to say. But idiotic for Finebaum to call him out like that. Ruhle is not entitled to an opinion?

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

These are tough times for an Iowa fan. I want to hate the guy, but he makes it really hard to do so.

This is the first coach in a while that has me concerned that he'll get them back to being sustainably good.

And he seems like a likeable guy.

Sometimes? Old dumbo ears? Nah......

SOMETIMES!?! Try all the DAMN time!

Ten wins with no offense is tough. Could be worse. Could have Nebbys tough times.

Finebaum is about as bad as it comes in the CFB media.

He’s an idiot that thinks he’s smart.

And some hicks in the southern states told him he was good at his job & that only made matters worse.

It is great entertainment to watch & listen to his shows in seasons where the B1G whips the SEC in a majority of bowl games, regular season games, & especially when a B1G team wins it all like last year.

It’s awesome when he literally doesn’t know what to say & is proven the idiot that he is!

 

[wkato]

Here is Rhules full statement, he wasn't referring to Nebraska being one of the four. His statement about Nebraska has been, we need to make a bowl game before we worry about anything else.

As the College Football Playoff expands to 12 teams, Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule said he believes the Big Ten deserves four spots going forward.
Per ESPN's Heather Dinich, Rhule cited the recent additions of USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington as well as the overall difficulty of playing in the conference to back up his argument.
"In the Big Ten we have to go to someone else's stadium in our league five times and duke it out," Rhule said. "But I think we'll have a lot of access to the College Football Playoff. I think four teams from this league should get in every year because this is the best league. This is the NFL of college football in my mind."

Ames is up there

 

[eyesofhawk]

No kidding. Nebraska needs to reach the same level as Iowa first.

Good luck with that

Nebraska's success was in the 70's and 90's

Rhule is the best coach at Nebraska since Solich and perhaps even Osborne

 

[hawkjt]

Rules comments were standard issue coachspeak at a media day.
Finebaum just stirring it up.

I see Huskers winning 7+ games with a very light schedule.
If they lose to Colorado at home, I could be wrong.

 

[Gonzo Bloor]

I'm sure it was his last bit about the B1G being "the NFL of college football" that got Finebaum's panties in a bunch.

If you've never watched Finebaum's show, it's something. Lol.

 

[Johnsoda123]

Rhule is the best coach at Nebraska since Solich and perhaps even Osborne

His college record is 52-50 and 11-27 in the NFL.

You serious Clark?

Ahh Finebaum, the total expert on college football.

 

[eyesofhawk]

NFL is irrelevant and he took over rebuilds in college that are going to put you behind the eight ball to start off record-wise.

His teams are fundamentally sound. That Nebraska D last year was legit

 

[eyesofhawk]

You serious Clark?

Who you taking over him?

I can see where Solich is maybe a stretch. That's why I said "perhaps".

Rhule is better than Pelini

 

[Johnsoda123]

You compared him to Tom Osborne. Spin it anyway you want.

Rhule is better than Pelini

Perhaps after Rhule wins 3 NC's. You're perhaps refered to Osborne, not Solich.
Also Ruhle better than Pelini? Ruhle 5-7 at Nebby, Pelini won at least 9 games every year, with 3 10 win years. 4 conf. titles. But please keep trying, it's fun watching.

You guys know how to read?

At no point did I compare Rhule to Osborne

 

[mvhomerl]

"perhaps even Osborne" Your quote, from the post. Who the F can't read?

 

[Hawkeye Marching Band]

"perhaps even Osborne" You're quote, from the post. Who the F can't read?

Come on. He said "since Solich perhaps even Osborne." Best SINCE those guys, which only means better than the guys who came in between them and Rhule.

As a courtesy, I'll refrain from commenting on your grammar errors.

On this point, I agree. There's insufficient evidence to support his claim at present, although Rhule's last Baylor team might have been better than any of Pelini's Nebraska squads.

Yeah, it is. Their achievements are no longer in this decade, century, or even millennium.

Grammer not my game, I know. The way it's worded could be taken different ways. At 1 year 5-7, compare him to no one. He did say "better than Pelini". Are you kidding me?!

 

[LukaDuka]

Absolutely not the same ass factor. Frost had perhaps the most punchable face in football and watching that Nebbie golden boy go down in flames was glorious .

I miss Scottie Frost' press conferences.

Preseason, "we're comin"
First game, first loss: "we're working on some things & we'll be there in the mix for B10 title"
6th loss, no bowl game... "players need to execute, not my fault", "wait til next year"

Probably the worst coach in B10 football history. Including Bob Cummings.
Frostie went from boy wonder to "boy I wonder what ever happened to that guy"?

 

[Madman_1]

Got it. NFL is irrelevant.

Are you implying that it is? How would you explain the large number of coaches that have had substantial success at the college level and have had mediocre results as head coaches in the NFL?

It seems to me that the two require somewhat different skill sets.
