At 35:57 Carriker mentions a rumor of Holgorsen in Lincoln to help out.

Interesting to bring in a Leach disciple when you want to presumably run the ball more consistently. Regardless, Holgorsen’s skullet can coach circles around this staff if true.
 
I heard Nick Saban and Urban Meyer are in town too.

If that's the style of offense we're going to go with, Rhule is a fraud and just tells fans what they want to hear about being a physical ball control team that huddles and wears teams down. Nebraska Football will never consistently be good if they try to be some wannabe pro style offense with zero run game.

If true it does show Rhule’s complete disconnect of how to win in the BIG. Air raid offense coupled with a 3-3-5 defense screams BIG XII team to me. I suppose the thinking is that we have Baby Mahomes, might as well run the style of offense Mahomes ran in college.

Dana may be an air raid guy, but he flat knows football. These stats are just from memory, so they could be off a little, but I recently read he has had a RB rush for at least 750 yards every year as a HC, and has had multiple backs go over 1,000 yards.

Typically air raid offenses see a lot of 5 man boxes given that they’re 4 receivers wide. So yeah rushing yards can definitely be had in that system. Still would be a curious decision if it is indeed what’s happening.

He was a big part of implementing the full diamond pistol formation when he was oc at Oklahoma State and they were peak. I'll give you that he likes to emphasize run more than some other air raid coaches, if the numbers are there in the box.
 
Besides Mullen, I think Holgersen is the best shot we've got to produce an exciting offense as long as Rhule is the HC. So sure, why the hell not.

I’m not even sure Raiola can compete with Jackson mahomes
