Evan Cooper has left the building

[king_kong_]

At this point you poach the best recruiting badass from some big time school and have him bring his best corners with him…

I think if that was an option we’d have done it before bringing in this fella

We’ll be forced to settle here because all the good coaches/recruiters are, well, coaching/recruiting

Quite the cluster in Rhule’s rectory for the 2nd straight year

No QB coach for a full season, 2 coaches forced to resign due to (reasons) weeks prior to camp starting, 5-7 with myriad late game collapses

Better start winning

I can forgive no QB coach. His guy said "no" at the last minute because his old lady didn't want to leave LA. I can forgive the TE coach situation. Rhule experimented with hiring a super-experienced, Texas good ole boy, revered high school coach. The experiment crashed and burned when Lincoln/college football proved too much for the man. Not good, just don't try that experiment again. Cooper is a little different story. He is Rhule's guy. Rhule should know his key guys well enough to prevent something like this happening right before the season. Either mitigate it early on with measures like PIPs or other discipline, or cut bait AFTER last season. This is a bad look for Matt.

I can live with all the above, that is just soap opera. But the late game collapses, really bad fundamental coaching decisions like not burning clock, making the other side take TOs, or not taking sure points (FGs) were really bad and not what I expected from a coach with his resume. Those gaffs (starting with going pass-happy at MN when the running game had them whipped), which led to no bowl game were VERY concerning.

If you are making a guy resign because he ****ed another adult...you are an idiot. Assuming he was good at his job, who the **** cares.

Even that coach had a wife and 2 kids and got caught once and was told by his superiors not to do it again ( All Rumors) or there are consequences. I think you have to accept the consequences in that case.

 

[BugsAreQualityProtein]

Doubt this is much of a loss when it comes to the Xs and Os. He seemed to be a stud recruiter but who knows if that’s even true. Most recruiting is a collaborative effort amongst the whole staff.

Bill Busch is the kind of guy that would come in on short notice and coach his heart out for a season just to help out Huskers if they called upon

 

[TruHusker]

She is no longer on staff. That might have been who he was banging last year and got caught. That irritated Rhule. Maybe he got caught banging someone else and that was enough for Rhule.

Why say "might have" and "maybe" if you don't know?

Speculation sometimes occurs on sports boards, or so I am told.

So pleased about this, but would feel better about it if the source wasn't some guy named Ball Sack Skers. That's like getting your info from some dude who called himself HBK.

 

[phoenix4nu]

So pleased about this.

Don't think it's serious.

Please don't be another case of no dickscipline. ..😒

Consider the source… ball sack skers… it’s a parody account.

 

[Laner2]

Don't think it's serious.

Ya, I edited it after seeing the source.

 

[HuskersNC]

Consider the source… ball sack skers… it’s a parody account.

And I'll say it for 800th time, not even a good parody account. It said Chucky Hepburn was 100% transferring to NU, whatever that OSU QB name was as well. All bullshit. It's like tweeting "Walmart is having a 25% discount on 9 volt batteries tomorrow" and calling that satire. Please people, no more nonsense from Ball Sack Re***ds.

Sipple reference gives it away.

How would I know for sure. The rumor was he was caught having an affair last year and her name came up and she also resigned. Rhule was not happy. I can’t believe it took this long for Coop to resign if it was related to that event. That’s why I brought up a second situation as a possibility for his resignation tonight.

 

[bomber89]

This did not catch Rhule off guard. Odds are very, VERY strong that Rhule already has a replacement in hand and he will be named publicly in the next two or three days. I would suspect its someone who is has coached with Rhule at Temple & at Carolina. Hows that for a guess. The way Rhule is and how he works, this just makes the most sense to me.

 

[Truewooper]

We can never have nice things. Oh well never will understand why people who have so much potential can't follow the rules they were given (If the speculation is true).

I really have no idea who it is, I just study people and Rhule is very much a person who values prior relationships. People see what he is building here and he wont have any problem filling an assistant coach position. Now finding an assistant coach who is as good as Coop was at finding undervalued talent could be a different story. That worries me a hell of a lot more than a DB coach.

... and the coach you poach has at least one son who is scholarship material

 

[TarheelHuskerFan]

There are SOOOOO many people involved with the program. The players, the staff, staff supporting the program.. this stuff is bound to happen and it happens every year at almost every program. Somebody in such a large pool of people will screw up. It just feels bad because we’re closest to this program.

Even.

I thought we were finally over this insane idea that bosses control your personal life.

If it is what people are saying it is and it is two grown up consenting adults...

Pussy "wins" again. It may not be undefeated but its batting average has gotta be like .847

Fairly young? Very young. Underage girls supposedly wasn’t his only vice.

You cant allow it to continue because when one of the consenting adults decides to stop the relationship the other will claim sexual harassment and sue the school and the head coach for allowing it. This situation plays out like this almost every time.

I mean, of course women are crazy and will go to the "sexual harassment" card.

You nailed it. Good call on the timing.

John Butler. A decade coaching NFL DB's.

Why can’t he bang female Brett?

I was more impressed with his player evaluation above anything else. If I'm being honest I wasn't too happy with what he had done so far recruiting with this current class.

The entire class is a step below what we had the first two so far imo. But that's an entirely different story.

I’m guessing Butler would only come to Nebraska as DC.

Actually Nebraska football itself has been one big cluster. A time tested and sure fire way to make sure that it remains a cluster is to put a coach on the hot seat and have them make iffy decisions based on short term self-preservation (ring a bell?) and then eventually fire the entire staff.

We finally have a good head coach in place. Let's show some patience for once.

DC in waiting? It's been widely speculated that Tony White will move on to a HC job after the season..

Looks like I’m wrong.

Surprising in that he left Buffalo because he didn’t get the DC job there.

Dude is available and has a lot of experience, 7 years P5 and a decade in the pros.
