Even im not waiving the white flag yet. Let’s see who Rhule hires and see if he can retain Dana and maybe , just maybe Rhule can pull a rabbit out of his ass for the third time in year three
Tony White and Terrance Knighton reportedly leaving for FSU
- Thread starter phoenix4nu
- Start date
Who he hires for DC will be telling.
We’ll know this time next year if Rhule is the guy or not. I’d say the vast majority of Husker nation is in the undecided camp
Right now.
Elijah Robinson at Syracuse worked for Rhule at both Temple and Baylor. History D-line coach/DC with history of being a great recruiter.
yep, hopefully they live up to 4 stars on the field and not just on the internet site.....wait....hopefully they stay and dont follow Tony...and they live up to the 4 stars
People can spin White's departure anyway they want. It simply is not a good look. I think this is a clear indication of the turmoil and unhappiness amongst the coaching staff. White is highly regarded, and he is easily the Huskers' best coach. If he is jumping ship to go to Florida State, a 2-10 team, things must be really bad amongst the coaches. I think it will be awful if Rhule just rubber stamps Butler and moves him up to the DC role without testing the market for a truly great DC. It will show me Rhule values his buddies over good coaches (See Foley and McGuire.). I have lost confidence in Rhule's ability to provide proper leadership to the team and I do not think it ends well.
How many players follow Tony to FSU and how many recruits go with them? I think a lot.
True from a hopeful side u could say he's on track. But man it's been messy. If he doesn't get to 9 or 10 wins and we had to eat these last 2 years will not go over well.

the Portal scares the shit out of me now... how many guys that we thought would be top contributors on D will now hit the portal and follow them down there???
After reading posts from a message board of "fans", I can see why coaches might not want to stick around Lincoln. #entitledfanbase
What do you mean undermined?
TW made it pretty clear that he wasn't a long term option. Not even really an option past this season. He literally started his exit plan and we brought in Butler as part of that plan.
Plus, we never looked better after Snow started advising.
Iowa, Rutgers, Washington, Minnesota all finished ahead of us in the B10 and would take our WRs in a heartbeat. People act like they sucked which is nonsense in comparison to these other teams.
Would be great, so we're probably getting Butler instead lol
I don’t think most see a move from NU to FSU as a clear indication of turmoil or unhappiness. It’s FSU, he’s not leaving for Utah State.
Sarcasm is a verbal thing I guess. Your post was at the end of a series of woe is me/I'm opening a vein in a warm tub posts and while I accept your attempted sarcasm, your post wasn't much different tonally than the others.
Maybe Rhule wanted to promote Mcguire to DC and that’s why he is leaving. Yeah it’s sounds impossible but Rhule really likes his dad a lot.
Wolf. Let’s cut our public school system with unhinged rants like this
Maybe, just maybe Rhule doesn't think the 335 will be effective in the b1g. I know it been said many times that you can run many schemes out of it which is true BUT, that means having a Suh every year that can take on double teams and have the speed of a running back.
Maybe a traditional 4-3 defense is the best way forward
Plus it was kinda predicted that tw wouldn't be here after this year anyway because the defense was gonna be so good that he'd get a hc gig somewhere. But the defense performance this year changed the latter.
It is still him leaving and why? A 2-10 FSU who like us is a long way away from a legendary coach.
Banker ran a 4-3 in 2016. Top 30 D in yards given up per game.
1890 hired some Dogg the bounty hunter wannabees...the just stopped 2 at the airport bags packed, they were trying to follow Big Tone....one looked like shavers and one .....Jacory Barney.....OH HEEEEELLLL NOOOOOO
It'll be interesting to see who goes. Are they really better than the talent FSU already has on defense? It's not like FSU doesn't have talent.
We have to hope the new DC has the connections to bring more talent with him than we have leave.
One thing that might have played a part in FSU having interest in White and that might be a factor in Florida players leaving for FSU - Philip Simpson, a former high school head coach from Miami, was a defensive quality control assistant for Nebraska until early this year when he left to take an analyst position with FSU. Simpson played a big role in Nebraska signing guys like Barney and Shavers.
There is no way Neyor and Banks even step on the field with the Huskies. Denzel Boston (60 receptions/807 yards/9 TD with mediocre Will Rogers III throwing to him) will be playing in the NFL when Neyor and Banks are at home watching him on TV.
Eliminating the DOE is a good place to start.
