About this episode
The episode discusses the significant changes in Nebraska football under Matt Rhule and updates on Nebraska basketball and baseball.
The shift underway at Nebraska in this offseason is perhaps more dramatic than it at first appeared. In addition to swapping out two coordinators and a quarterback whose styles lend to altered systems, Matt Rhule’s messaging is different in 2026. His coaching staff has a new vibe. The first weekend in June left no doubt that Rhule is building the Nebraska roster in a new way — doubling down in areas that Geep Wade and Addison Williams find fruitful. We step back and look at the big picture while considering the stakes in 2026 for the fourth-year coach and his team. Nebraska basketball is scheduling more aggressively as Fred Hoiberg adds a nonconference game in Chicago. And the Nebraska baseball offseason roster shuffle has begun.
