John Butler- New DBs coach. DC in waiting?
- Thread starter HBK4life
- Start date
Never once mentioned that my views on this matter - as with all others - are extremely consistent
But thanks for the reminder!
You wouldn't get me to live there just due to the massive lake effect snow. But people all have different priorities.
If "Jim in MN" can be trusted, this hire seems almost too good to be true. 10 years as what appears to be a high level
NFL db coach. A year as a DC in the Big 10. Sign me up.
This worked out about as well as anyone could have expected, all things cpnsidered.
I think if and when Tony leaves, Dvorcek will be Rhule's DC. Although, so many of his coaches played for him and some have been with him for several years, he still went outside his own people to hire Tony, so that could bode very well for Butler whenever Tony leaves.

Will always be the possibility that TW takes a few Husker assistants with him to a new gig. Ruhle having the rolladex full and up to date is a big deal.
Rhule has said that he wants a culture that promotes from within. I can see him using this as a selling point to get the best guy available in this situation. It doesn't mean it's etched in stone, it just means there could be an opportunity if the right situations present themselves.
Rhule has shown me that he operates like a professional, so I'm not too worried about it. Looks like could be a good hire.. we have to wait and see how it goes.
Time to get to work on the upcoming season. GBR

Maybe. When Tony leaves you have to remember zero of these coaches knew Tony before Rhule hired him. All knew and worked for Rhule. loyalty is important. But you are right Rhule had everything covered.
A position coach with the chance to be a coordinator for Tony is probably gonna take that job
I knew a guy whose mother in law was always critical of him. Had said he would never be successful bringing people into his business.
When he experienced immense success his mother in law pivoted and said that the reason he was successful is because he would take anyone.
Never able to give a compliment.
You remind me of the mother in law quite often.
Probably but the post I responded to said Tony would or might take multiple assistants with him.
Several times I’ve looked at national radar maps in the winter and the only place it’s snowing in the United States is in Buffalo.
Tony got a couple of staffers that are his guys, but Pot Roast and Dvorcek are Rhule guys.
Yeah, I don’t think I would be too crazy about lake effect snow.
I just thought it would be bigger and a lot more stuff going on. Walked down to that area that has, I think, a Naval Museum. I could see the potential to the area if it was warm, but was told it’s only hopping when it’s warm there, which apparently is only for a couple months.
dave aranda might be available for dc at the of the year
I just enjoy the fact there is someone in this thread who knows everything about everyone. That's pretty cool and in no way implies a God complex.
Tony? D improved, but he pissed away a lot of games. 5-7? Now he is Buddy Ryan. Relax. No one outside of husker nation knows him or gives a rats ass about him. Give me 9 wins and we will talk.
Bottom line--I am not buying into the bullshit hype. His recruiting class this year has not been good. Yeah he is a smooth talker and what not, but prove the shit on the field. He was 5-7 and lost a lot of games due to poor coaching. His prior record suppots this. Let's see what he can do in year 2 with the easiest schedule in 20 years. I have heard this shit for just as long. It is time to prove it.
Correct! My point was that if Butler leaves after a year or two, we shouldn't be too upset because the alternative could have been an interim hire.
I’ve seen people say this before and I’m just wondering where it comes from? He’s so young and inexperienced, is he known to be a wiz kid or something?
As much as I'd like to see a return to the Devaney/TO era of coach and player continuity in the program that's not today's reality and I don't see it returning to that in the foreseable future, if ever.
So good luck to us this year with this staff and these players. Butler is certainly a very interesting hire. I can't wait to see this season unfold.

Turnover from last year is basically Cooper. The staffer that was placeholding the TE room after Wager DUI’d was replaced by Satt (plus move) followed by hiring Thomas (also plus move). The new DB coach has more experience than Coop and is likely also a plus move.
I think the main thing that will be missed about Cooper is his ability to assess talent and in particular to identify underrated recruits.
Hopefully the trade off will be better coach and better talent.
We won't really know the complete answer for a while but we'll get a good indication once season starts
Fine.. he started drinking again .. hair of the dog works every time
It sounds like he hadn’t had the right situation present itself. Rhule has a good track record of having assistants climb the ladder.
I'm also a little concerned about Miami recruiting. Simpson and Cooper were our main south Florida guys. Both gone.
The lost games were mostly because an inept cast of characters on offense kept turning the ball over, over and over and over. The defensive statistics last season were damned good. If you post that stuff you posted at least have some context if you want to be taken seriously.
Defense didn't get off the field. They need to take the next step this year and either create more turnovers or get stops on 3rd down when needed. Not blaming the defense, but they aren't without some of the blame.
Defense was 20% of the problem in losses, offense was 80%.
