Welcome back to the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, now presented by Strategic Solutions.  A sure sign that the season is right around the corner, Big 10 Media Days take place this week. Six teams on the stage on Tuesday, six teams on Wednesday, and six more, including Nebraska, on Thursday.  Travis Justice and Former Nebraska All-American Dr. Rob Zatechka don't expect to learn a lot from the made-for-TV/Internet event. But they are interested in hearing what Big Ten Commissioner Tony Pettiti has to say about the "Save College Sports Act," which is not expected to pass before the November elections. Pettiti isn't expected to be as straightforward as his SEC counterpart Greg Sankey, but it's no secret the Big 10 is opposed to the "Save College Sports Act" in its current form. Matt Rhule will take the stage on Thursday; the ESPN Power Index has Nebraska finishing 7-5 on the season. If the Huskers do finish with this record, does it put Matt Rhule on the hot seat?  As we get closer to the season starting, Travis and Rob talk about fan apathy setting in for the Huskers. Is it really happening? This has been the least talked-about off-season they can remember for years.  Subscribe to the channel, leave a comment, and send us an email if you have a question: doctalksports@gmail.com.

Alex and Richard conduct the second annual Coach Firing/Retirement/Departure Confidence Draft, assigning point values to 27 FBS coaches based on how likely they are to leave their jobs after the 2026 season, either because they got fired or retired. (Poachings are not included.) Last year, Alex scored a narrow victory thanks to his bold and successful pick of Kyle Whittingham to be out at Utah after the season. Can Richard fight back?The board runs in order of tenure, from Kirk Ferentz's 28th year at Iowa to Bill Belichick's second at North Carolina, and produces wide gaps on Joe Moorhead, Mike Norvell, Luke Fickell, and the exact meaning of a Lincoln Riley departure.

We check CBS Sports CFB Coaches Hot Seat Rankings to see where Matt Rhule and the other notable head coaches land on the lengthy list.

We ask if there's anything Matt Rhule can say in front of a microphone this offseason that will convince of anything at this point.

Nebraska Football newcomers ranked: a Huskers portal class breakdown of the guys who'll actually move the needle in 2025. We argue our top five (well, top eight, because rules are fake) and where Anthony Calendria fits in. We get into the rebuilt offensive line with Tree Babalade at tackle, Paul Mubanga and Brendan Black at guard, and why all three are pro prospects who fit what Matt Rhule wants up front. On defense, Owen Chambliss might be the most important addition on the roster — bringing Rob Orich's playbook with him from Stanford, plus the leadership a young linebacker room desperately needs around Vincent Shavers and Dexter Foster. We break down Jasheer Whittington's twitch on the D-line, whether Anthony Jones and Williams Nwaneri can wreck Big Ten tackles from opposite edges, and what Quincy Gillen and Jason Shiggs bring to the skill positions. Then we get into the Calendria question — gunslinger comparisons, the Jeff Sims stat-line debate, the proof of concept versus the Dylan Raiola pedigree path, and why an elite quarterback might be the difference between a sub-.500 year and 8-9 wins. We close on freshmen with the it factor: running back Jamarl Rule and DB Danny Odom, both guys who might force their way into the rotation before fall camp ends. Plus: please, for the love of GBR, just don't be Jameis Winston. 00:00 Intro & Setting the Top 5 Rules 02:40 Tree Babalade and the New O-Line 10:25 Owen Chambliss: Bringing Orich's Defense With Him 20:10 Calendria, the It Factor & 9-Win Talk If you enjoyed this episode, please Like and Subscribe! #gbr #huskers #nebraska #cfb #b1g Learn more about your ad choices.
