The Pick Six Podcast - Husker sports news and analysis

Is Matt Rhule paranoid or is there tampering after Nebraska's spring game?


Listen Later

In the latest episode of the Pick Six Podcast, Sam McKewon, Tom Shatel and Evan Bland break down Nebraska not holding a traditional spring game and if Matt Rhule paranoid or justified in saying tampering was a reason behind the change.

The crew opens with Nebraska's announcement that the Huskers won't have a traditional spring game and Matt Rhule's comments that part of the decision came from the tampering that happens in college football.

They talk whether there is tampering and the loss of the Nebraska tradition.

The trio moves onto Nebraska hiring Mike Ekeler special teams coordinator and the shuffling of Matt Rhule's staff this offseason.

Is this a Matt Rhule 2.0 staff? Does this free Rhule to take on more of a CEO, while coordinators become mini head coaches of their units.  

Matt Rhule said he aims to blend talent (big NIL players) with culture (walk-on sort of players) on Nebraska's 105-man roster.

Is this feasible, and is it worth it? How do you do it during the revenue sharing era?

John Cook has stepped down as Nebraska volleyball coach and his successor has been named former Husker and Louisville coach Dani Busboom Kelly. Was it a seamless transition?

Is there a better fit — or more qualified — to take over the Husker program?

The crew also talks the parallels to Tom Osborne and Frank Solich and Scott Frost, and why this was the perfect time for Cook to retire.

Nebraska men's basketball was on a big losing streaking. Now the Huskers have beaten two straight ranked teams (Illinois and Oregon) and are back on the NCAA tournament bubble.

They talk how Fred Hoiberg's Hail Mary (calling the Illinois game the Huskers' Super Bowl) changed Nebraska's course and how Brice Williams and Juwan Gary have had huge impacts on the team. 

What does Nebraska need to do to get off the bubble and into the NCAA tournament?

The crew gives their Super Bowl predictions — will the Kansas City Chiefs three-peat? — and what it will take for each team to win.
