He's a really good sports writer. I followed him for years on HM until he got tired of lack wits taking shots at him.
I like all the names in that article. I'd list Will Muschamp as a homerun hire, along with Leonhard.
Unfortunately I believe people might be disappointed if they want an outside hire. Butler has the inside track. Hope I’m wrong.
Maybe, maybe not. I'd be shocked if Rhule isn't talking to other people.
Butlers DB's were a dissapointment. Hope we get someone else
Hopefully he's talking to guys with proven successful track records as DCs. Butler has a great resume but......
You get that first big paycheck with the big red N on it and time to let bygones be bygones.
I personally don't think Tony could wait to get out of here.
The thing about Walters, and I'm not pumping him up, but the way he flamed out as Head Coach could mean he would be a DC for quite a while cause a new HC job isn't coming anytime soon.
Yes, but if he hates this school that could be hard to overcome.
IMO you're looking at this wrong. I want Rhule to hire the best DC he can find. If the guy only sticks around for a year or two, then so be it. I want Nebraska to have a staff so good that other schools want to hire them away.
I'll still take Leonhard! That would be a killer hire.
With the portal starting to hit NU, it will take a helluva DC to get this thing right.
We should always have the best money can buy. I'm pretty positive when Rhule came here, that wasn't the case. Definitely over that ****in shit. Look what Saban did.
Many of the very best assistants out there are former HC's that got the axe, but still bring that outstanding position/coordinator skill with them.
You don't mind new coaches when you have stallions in the corrals. We have rented mules and broken down nags in comparison.
I totally agree, Wisconsin screwed up not giving him the head job.
Seriously. 🤣
Sir Yacht owns that strategy already.
At this point it’s hard to say. If Rhule lands a big time DC I’d probably think it was in the works and White was encouraged to find a place to make it seem he left on his own terms. If we flop on the new DC I’d say White left Rhule a sitting duck. Time will tell but I’m sure we’ll find out very soon.
Rhule is a defensive coach. He has a backup plan in Butler and he could likely dictate what he wants done. We'll see. I expect there to be some type of announcement after signing day.
I really hope its not Butler
We have no way of knowing how that would work out. Might be great. Might be terrible but next year that could be the case no matter who we hire. New DC. New scheme.
Hire one of the right guys and the best 1-4 of those portal players will decide to stay.
I think he's bad news, and I don't care what his resume' says.
In other words, probably a gamble. More so than a proven, successful DC at this level.
Diaco supposedly was a proven DC 🤔. Staff changes are usually a gamble. There’s lots of moving parts. Gotta have the dudes.
