We're gonna have to fight off San Diego St. and Syracuse to keep White.

Bring in the $$ trucks

 

[beaglehusker]

I know nothing but I do feel like he'll be back. It's good that he's wanted and it's good experience for him to go through this.

I think he'd go to Syracuse if offered - and I wouldn't blame him if he did. It would be hard to pass up a Power 5 head coaching job, especially at a place where you have a history.

 

[scarletred]

Trev needs to up the ante making sure he stays a little longer..

 

[thall__]

Hoke was only making 1.2mil/year.

pay him 2mil/year and lets lock him up for another couple seasons.

He gone

 

[timnsun]

He gone

Wish you were too

 

[BleedRed78]

Wish you were too

Nice. Agreed

 

[Landomatic]

If it means we get Elijah Robinson from aTm I’ll take it

Cuse is not a good job.

 

[scarletred]

Cuse is not a good job.

Exactly, might have been when they had Jim Brown and Ernie Davis and some McPherson years but White will have better offers in a year or two..

 

[goldencohusker]

Hope he stays. While I know success is going to naturally lead to other teams coming after our staff, I sure wish it would happen after we have had more success than going 5-6 with a 3 game losing streak with one last chance at bowl eligibility.

Also, am I accurate in my thinking that the last time NU lost a defensive coordinator for reason other than firing or retirement was when Monte Kiffen left back in the 70s?

 

[TruHusker]

Why is the answer always more money? He is making more money now than some head coaches. It's an endless battle every time someone mentions his name - oh better give him more money.

Then when word gets out about someone at another school, people on here say they are just doing that to get more money.

Sheesh. Is he paid in the range of the going rate? Is there a magic number or even an end to it? He was at SDS 8 years if my math is correct, he must like something there.

Sometimes I feel like it is the setup to blame Trev - White would have stayed if Trev would have opened the check book. We always need a bad guy.

 

[HuskerLLM]

Trev needs to up the ante making sure he stays a little longer..

Not sure how you up the ante to keep a guy from becoming a HC

 

[scarletred]

Help him decide better to stay and wait for a better head coaching job..

Don’t think San Diego St worth taking a chance not being a Power5 team is where the money is really at..

 

[K_Y_E]

Hope he stays, but good for him if he that’s what he wants.

 

[Huskers123456]

Most coordinators want to be a head coach and most coaches know you only have so many chances. Rhule seems to have a pretty good track record of identifying and grooming coaches. We better get used to this. Knighton is another one I feel will be targeted at some point.

It took Venables for ever to take a head coaching job and he was having major success at OU and Clemson…

Norm Parker is content being Ioway coordinator, but I have no idea if he was ever asked to be head coach anywhere..

Cost of living is definitely in our favor. Climate? Not so much. You want other programs to want your assistants. I don’t think there’s any question that he’s going to get a raise if he stays.

 

[keilwitzg]

I have a feeling he’s already taken a HC position somewhere and he’s waiting to announce this after Friday…would explain why this team’s mentality changed around the MSU game. JMO

Was also winning nattys and was a top 3 paid D coordinator

If he loves San Diego it might be tough to turn that job down.

 

[10Trvln]

He gone

You the one on the left or the right?

 

[SickOfPractice]

There's nothing we can do about it if White is offered an opportunity that calls to him. I hope he's happy enough here to build a legacy, though.

Mentality changed, JFC

 

[kevingne]

Mentality changed, JFC

Perhaps mentality is the wrong word but focus and effort were greatly off in the MSU game

 

[HuskerHusaria]

Is TW really out or are we just jumping the gun? MR spoke today about not enough money and I hope that got TA's attention to open the checkbook and anvil him

 

[HuskerHusaria]

I'm gonna be pissed if Syracuse releases an announcement tomorrow

 

[shocksker]

If it means we get Elijah Robinson from aTm I’ll take it

I beleive that is exactly who would replace him l. Not quite as good as TW at the xs and os but top 5 recruiter. Would we stay in a 3 3 5 or go to a 3-4 or 4-3? Idk best case scenario is TW stays and ER is added as a co coordinator and position coach. Pay them both big big $$ and expect top 10 Def.

Rhule was talking about our NIL being too low according to everyone on here, not about TW.

 

[timnsun]

Do you really think TW told the team 3 games ago that he was gone? I don’t see it that way at all.

Or are you saying TW has changed, ie, distracted by what is to come? If he told his players, there’s no way it wouldn’t have leaked already.

Money talks, bullshit walks.

 

[oldjar07]

I'd up his salary to $1.8 million. Would have a really good defense next year should be a really strong selling point for him to stay. Makes his head coaching resume look a lot better for a P5 position.

 

[HuskerHusaria]

Rhule was talking about our NIL being too low according to everyone on here, not about TW.

How do we rectify that? Obviously sending Matt Davison on booze binge runs isn't doing it.

 

[Charlie Marlow]

Are you sure he isn't talking to South Dakota State? Maybe they wouldn't pay as much, but I've read that Brookings is a wonderful and stable place to live like a king and raise a family.

 

[Landomatic]

Rhule was talking about our NIL being too low according to everyone on here, not about TW.

Nah, he was clearly trying to get himself a raise

 

[BTF69]

Money talks, bullshit walks.

People sometimes like to romanticize things but usually money/title is the main reason for changing jobs.

It is not like we are talking about going from 55k to 58k either, we would be talking about doubling if not more, a salary. That is hard to pass up.

 

[Badger Pete]

Let White go, then get Lil’ Jimmy Leonhard!!! His defensive scheme is more aggressive and he would love to get some revenge on the Badgers.
