Nebraska Corhhuskers News: Matt Rhule szn, rebuild or reload, more

The Nebraska Cornhuskers football team is reloading. Or rebuilding or starting from scratch. Or something else. Whatever Matt Rhule and his staff are doing, it appears as though the key is that things are looking up for the Huskers. At least in January of Rhule’s first year on the job.

Husker fans have been arguing this week over just what to call the efforts that Rhule and his staff are doing. Some have said that it’s a rebuild. Others call it a reset. Still others say that the Huskers are starting from scratch.

The discussion has taken over social media of late. The question of course boils down to what the definition of “starting over” or “starting from scratch” or “rebuild it.” Everyone seems to have a different definition of where the Huskers are and are going to be.

• One reason some believe that Matt Rhule is going to be able to get a better jump on things than someone like Scott Frost is that he’s been working overtime to pick the brains of his predecessors. According to AD Trev Alberts Rhule has been talking to both former Nebraska Cornhuskers coaches Tom Osborne and Frank Solich. It’s the addition of Solich that is raising eyebrows.

• When it comes to Alberts and Rhule, it appears that things are moving quite well. That’s because Alberts thinks the man he hired to replace Scott Frost is showing a work ethic that is admirable.

• Alberts also shed some light on what Rhule and his staff are going to do when it comes to practice habits. While they haven’t said for certain, Alberts thinks they’re going to stick to morning practices. It sounds like the players would prefer that. It’s important enough that keeping morning practices could be something that has intangible benefits for the Nebraska Cornhuskers football team.
