I kind of get vibes of him being a self promoter…..that’s not good for team chemistry.
Good artie on possible D coords
- Thread starter Laner2
- Start date
Butler, Prince, Williams, Jackson, Ty, Nash, Gbayor, Thompson all bye bye.
If you're a young guy that's the opportunity of your career.
Did everyone forget Walters went to Colorado? Dude would not coach here and his scheme does not fit what Rhule wants to do. He's a fine DC but got carried by 3 NFL DB's.
Dana Holgerson grew up in Iowa a Hawkeye fan, granted that was long before we became conference mates but we didnt disqualify him for that.
I don’t care if he doesn’t. Most people are able keep their career trajectory separate from dumb crap.
Not saying he is my choice. Only saying it’s dumb for him to not consider us unless he has a plethora of equally appealing options. And it’s dumb for us not to consider him unless we have a plethora of equally appealing options.
I just think if it was Butler it either be announced or some kind of leak . I think it’s an outside guy .
What is it with Illinois and all those kick ass DB's?
Remember when they about tore Wan'Dale and our receivers in half with nasty, legal hits a few years ago?
They rattled our teeth all night long.
I say we go after some of those Illinois DB's.
I tend to agree. If plan A was going to be Butler at DC, it should have been announced already. That fact it hasn’t means he is somewhere between plan B-Z.
Matt may just want to wait and then unload everything at one time in a very long PC.
Like I said, he'll be half elated from the incoming crop and half beaten fighter from the kids who are leaving.
I saw an interview with Christian Jones he said something interesting. When they asked him about TW moving on he said Coach Rhule had something up his sleeve and always makes good defensive hires I am not worried whatsoever.
I suppose Matt could introduce him to the music of "Jump Around" and really stick it in 'em.
Diaco turned out to be a bit of a weirdo, but in truth, he could have been the second coming of Monte Kiffin and it wouldn't have made much difference. That roster was not designed for the type of 3-4 D he wanted to run. Riley allowed his AD to mau mau him into changing the D. The Davis twins were typical 4-3 DTs and were ready to start. NU barely had enough backers to field a 4-3. Incredible self own.
Diaco wasn't just strange. He was incompetent. We did have deficiencies to run his defense but he was incapable of teaching his D as well.
I remember our OLB's lining up in no man's land as part of his 'genius' scheme. Somewhere between the inside receiver and the line. Guess Diaco thought our below average OLB's could cover 2 completely different assignments when in reality they could hardly cover even one?
