Good artie on possible D coords

Good lord, that dude named about 37 potential names! Leonhard would be a dream hire, and Walters would be good too. He hates Nebraska but that's fine with me, just win baby.
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.

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.
 
Diaco supposedly was a proven DC 🤔. Staff changes are usually a gamble. There’s lots of moving parts. Gotta have the dudes.
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?

I feel like Butler is a bad compromise. An NFL guy who wasn't a DC but wasn't thought of as a rising coach. Not known as a good recruiter. His experience prior to the NFL revolved a lot around special teams. Maybe move him there and hire a new db coach and DC. Db coach should be a hotshot recruiter IMO. Have to have athletes back there.
 
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.
I agree. I'll support whomever the hire is. I could not care less about whether it's a splash hire and it wins over the message board critics. Who is the best coach? Hire him and style points be damned.
 
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.
A lot of those guys were recently fired coaches. Saban ran a career rehab program over there. Come join an elite head coach and coach a bunch of five star players who are also good kids. A lot of guys took advantage of that.

Nope. Jeremy Pernell is a very good writer and researches his stuff. For years he was on HM as N2FL and his info was good.
It's just an article with stuff everyone already knows and then a bunch of names with no apparent connection to NU or Rhule. I'd call this one click bait. Get the article done and post it ASAP.
