Our defensive staff is literally:

Al Holcomb- DC

Don Johnson- Pass Rush Specialist

Mike Siravo- Defensive Run Game Coordinator

Losing all the Rhule trash has only improved the results on the field. What were any of the departed coaches actually contributing to the team?

Honestly I feel this will just further cement Wilks being given a shot. He's legitimately working with a hand behind his back in terms of coaching staff and personnel that were handed to him, give me a legit OC and his leadership and watch this team flourish.

I've been watching the Nebraska fan reactions with some amusement. They sound a lot like we did one Rhule was hired here.

There are celebrants, doubters, supporters, detractors, doom and gloomers,  rationalizers, skeptics and believers all jockeying to get their word out ASAP.

Me? I'm just gonna grab some popcorn and watch what happens 😄

That would be my thought too. If they are so linked to Rhule that they want to follow him, let them go.  We don’t want them anyway.

I don't blame them. They were almost certainly gone from here at the end of the season anyway. They were dead men walking and Rhule needs to fill those roles ASAP because he's gotta get to recruiting.

Jeez sounds like Nebraska is opening up that check book..

I guess they really think he'll make Nebraska relevant again

They are desperate, and I don't say that because they bought into The Process.  They went from a powerhouse program consistently in the yearly discussion of national championship contenders to an also-ran in the also-ran division of the Big10.

I don't think Rhule can get them back into the annual championship discussion, but he probably can keep them in the mix at the top of the Big10 west, even when USC and UCLA join......assuming the conference keeps divisions.  But I don't see anything in his record that says he is going to suddenly dethrone Ohio State, Michigan, or even Penn State as the conference kings.

That level of success will brighten the mood in Lincoln, but I doubt they stay there without challenging and sometimes successfully hunting bigger game.  We don't know that Rhule can't eventually do that, only that he never has. 

Good luck to Nebraska.  My guess is they are going to be grumbling again somewhere around 4-6 years from now.

As far as his remaining staff leaving, they have 4-6 years of job security in Lincoln and if he does make them relevant again, more after that somewhere.

I wouldn't' be so down on him if he had shown amount of accountability or self-awareness during his time here. Dude just came across as not thinking he was a big part of the problem, even if he did actually realize that.

Exactly. Thus far the ceiling for Rhule on his best day has been double digit wins over bad college teams and getting pounded by any legit team. So big 10 west title seems about right.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      By Paa Langfart · Posted

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
