Exactly zero people think Rhule will be canned within his first 5 years based on that ridiculous contract they handed out.
Man, I think you just went from “they had no connection together” to “they had a connection but it was minor” (facts you pulled out of your a***) Rhule wasn’t LB coach, he was a DL coach, Tony was a LB. Tony was considered by the staff the coach on the field. Matt was very impressed with Tony’s knowledge as a player. They kept intouch a little. Matt kept an eye on his progression and Made a lot of sense for Matt to go to Tony when he came to NU.
Lol you are unbelievable
Rhule could be gone if the powers that be wanted him to. You’re talking about a school with greater endowments than Georgia and Alabama.
Gave you a like for showing me where I was wrong. Didn’t know about the UCLA connection. Good for you.
Wrong. Rhule was Asst DL coach in 2001. White's last year at UCLA was 2000.
If that happens, maybe, but I am assuming at least marginal improvement from 6 wins now that Dana is here. I fully expect at least 7 wins next year with DH calling the offense.
Was he full-time or interim DC?
"A few months on the UCLA campus early in the 2001 calendar year was the setting for Nebraska’s current head coach and defensive coordinator crossing paths for the first time.
Those endowments aren’t meant for football buyouts. That’s not how those get paid but IF the boosters of substance wanted him gone he would be. Rhule has massaged the right people to not be in any danger. Go 6-6 next year without major injuries to Dylan and he could have a problem.
You want to force out good Nebraska kids for 7 wins? Have heard nothing but good things about Stenger and Bretz since they've been here.
Bretz has drawn some praise from former players. Considering 105 gives you almost a full 5 deep and he's been on the 2 deep, I don't think we'll be running him off. We're actually not going to be dumping that many more scholarship guys than we normally did historically. We always used to have 10-12 scholarship guys transfer out before the portal was a thing.
I think he was the full-time DC. He followed BOB to Houston as a DB coach. Kind of interesting that BOB didn't hire him as a DC this time around. I will be extremely disappointed if he is hired as DC. I would feel much better if we parted ways with him altogether, unless we made him special teams coach. He has a pretty extensive special teams background.
There obviously were other factors at work that year that made it very difficult for that staff. I also think Butler thought he could get the Eagle DC job after the season was over. Butler didn't resign until after they passed over him for their DC job. BOB had already hired his DC I believe by that time.
He had 10 more years to get someone's attention, including BOB. BOB also didn't hire him this time around when Butler clearly must have been looking for a way out of Buffalo. Face it, he is a huge risk with limited potential.
Walk-ons who choose to stay through spring ball will have a chance to earn a scholarship but I don't expect many if any to do get one. We also supposedly have multiple guys on NIL deals who would be in line potentially for scholarships. We'll be fine but I will be surprised if more than 1 or 2 walk-ons get scholarships.
And Stenger is younger and is on scholarship. He's not getting run off unless he actually wants to go somewhere else.
Exactly, guys like Stenger and Bretz are already on scholarship and not getting cut.
There will be some more scholarship guys encouraged to seek other opportunities but this board has proven to be a poor gauge of player potential. Usually if a guy is playing special teams, he's somebody who fits in their plans. It's the guys who have been around for a couple of years and haven't cracked the 3 deep anywhere that are at risk.
The younger part might not mean much. You never really know about guys until they start practicing against other P5 athletes. I won't be surprised to see a few young scholarship guys leave either on their own or because they were told they had no shot of playing.
That happens every year. It has nothing to do with the 105 that a lot of people seem to be confused about.
I love Carriker but it kills me to stoop to to the level of posting coaching rumors. I'm sure Donovan at least knows Leonhard and IF we've approached him that Donnie and Jim have talked.
I would take anything Carriker says with a grade of slaw…🤣🤣
He was one of the first to report on Holgorsen, so I’ll keep an ear open
And he will be the first to tell you He told you awhile ago. Lmao
It’s something that I feel like Frost would have never done. When he needed to replace his OC, he went looking for candidates at credit unions.
