so rhule wanted dana in january as oc

[redwine65]

couple things,
1. I questioned why no Nebraska reporters asked rhule why dana was in Lincoln....????
2. if dana was onboard last January, we would have probably won Illinois and ucla possibly usc (although the refs are probably usc fans like mich and osu)
3. the fact that rhule asked dana in january means he was not just thinking bout his buddy sat. (more like thats all he had at the time)
4. the feild goal and kicking has come around, someone added 1+1 = barney should return kicks (so besides tackling on kickoffs and punts is foley still in the dunce corner? or is rhule shopping?)
5. the secondary guy apparently has a nfl deal that takes time to grasp so he will be around. ((need 1 lock down db from portal)
6. the lb coach will be round (need portal help/speed)
7. the dline coach will be round (need dl from portal to play next to van poppel guy)
8. all things considered rhule is doing ok and we should'nt complain too much (1 to 2 days after a defeat is ok)
9. beat iowa... they got a good rb, need to shut that down...and attack what ever weak spot we can find on Iowa's d...

Timing was bad for Dana to come in January fresh into the unemployment line plus buyout from Houston was an issue also needing time to decompress. He wasn't ready, but now he is and good for us!

If Rhule wanted Dana in January what stopped him?

If Dana was here he was obviously open to working here. I'm not sure what point is being presented.

Look at my post and you'll see why. Dana said no back then and what I stated was the reason!

Pretty sure the offer was co-oc as underling to Satterfield. And it's not that surprising that DH turned it down as that doesn't sound appealing after having been a head coach for the last decade-plus.

That wasn't why!

the points is if rhule got dana here to be oc, and dana "said" he did'nt want to at the time, he wanted a break.
1. rhule knew the oc position was a problem area and was looking to improve it, so it wasen't like that it was just about being buddies with sat.
2. the media wiffed, for not making it clear why dana was here

if I had a dime every time I heard "buddy hire" on here, I have raiola handing off to genty and passing to hunter. rhule was in the nfl and not making a squad in college that had a football and will travel like cig..so he slapped together what he could and came to NU. and he did pretty good on defense.

Hey Redwine, my post is what happened and why he said no back then.

I want to do is get on another coaching carousel..

I believe Dana stated he wasn't ready and was purposely dabbling in the analyst role so he could take some time off and do other things, however through doing this with TCU during the season he realized it wasn't the right gig and he wanted to make a difference on game day and call the shots. And as he stated, grew bored during the time off. Maybe I read between the lines too much, but that was my take from listening to Dana on the topic.
