Matt Rhule puts Ethan Piper on the spot at Big Ten Media Days with impossible question

It’s not quite the classic ethical parable of the trolley problem, but Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule had a doozy of conundrum for Ethan Piper. The offensive lineman is one of three Nebraska players who joined Rhule at Big Ten Media Days this week, and the head coach took a chance to ask his player what might be a tough question.

For Piper, though, the choice was easy. Given the choice of Rhule or offensive line coach Donovan Raiola, Piper is taking his position coach.

“Hey this is Matt Rhule here for all of Husker nation with a pivotal question for Ethan Piper,” Rhule said in a video shared by HuskerOnline’s Robin Washut. “Ethan, you’re standing over a cliff. You’ve got me in one hand. Holding me, trying to save my life. You’ve got Donny Raiola in the other hand.”

“You already know the answer,” Piper said, interrupting.

“You have to let one go,” Rhule said. “Who are you letting go?”

“You know who I’m letting go,” Piper said with a grin.

“You’re letting me go?” his coach said.

“Oh yeah,” Piper said without pause.

Rhule turned and looked to the camera.

“This is going to be one heck of a camp,” he said, walking out of shot.
