Good prediction there, Sam. 3-0 Hurricanes fairly easily.

The article doesn't say anything about FSU not prioritizing the most productive guys, I'm sure all teams do. They simply didn't win for their services, there is a large distinction there. We're in the same boat, we won't get the top guys at the moment and have to roll the dice on potential.

Music City could still pick us over Iowa I believe, if they were so inclined. That would be pretty funny, if they want the starved Nebraska fan money more than rewarding Iowa for a better season.

Personally I agree with you, commit to the school and not the coach. But I get these are also 18 year olds, versus true professional athletes. Things are in a such a mess it might have to be phased in.

I woudn't want him picking up any kids, he might drop em.

Player contracts, sign with a school for 2-3 years and you can't transfer until that is over. The argument will be "what if the coach leaves?", and maybe there is a one time transfer waiver for that. The head coach leaves/is fired.

Rhule says a lot of stuff. At this point I don't really take what he says at face value, and will see what shakes out. Part of me says "why are sitting P4 DC's reaching out to us?" and my response to myself is "that sweet buyout money of course!". Or they really aren't, and Rhule is just saying sh!t hoping something sticks.

We were 6-1 this year in this statistic. Only Iowa did we have a lead going to the 4th and lose. In 2023 we were 5-2, so Rhule is 11-3 with a lead going into the 4th at Nebraska. We've yet to come from behind (or tied) entering the 4th to win a game, 0-10.

Currently up 11 on #1 Kansas with 7 minutes to go.

Anyone still asking about Butler being considered for the DC position, or why people are talking about him being considered (@The Dude etc.), here is a quote from Rhule just today. Athletic article about the signing class.

I don't recall Mark May having bad things to say about us, on the contrary mostly I think.

I honestly don't know yet, intrigued to see how he does. An audition is nice before being handed the keys.

I have to see who we get. Big difference between Boston College and LSU

Someone mentioned Rhule saying he won't fire anyone. Seems to be coming true. We do have unlimited coaching positions now, so he is just keeping everyone employed. What a guy!

Which would mean Butler leaves, and I am ok with that.

Historically sure, but you also can't count on freshman not transferring if you redshirt them anymore. I think redshirts should be a thing of the past. Doesn't mean you need to rely on them as your starters, but I feel like you need to plan on getting them in games to 1. keep them around and 2. get actual game experience for next year. The days of waiting around for 3rd/4th year guys to take over are just out the window.

Yep, the last couple days were to just drive the price up. If the DC is Butler, I expected him to go. If Rhule doesn't know who the DC will be yet, and he wasn't promoting TK, I totally get why he moves with Tony if he liked him. Go with what you know rather than an unknown.

They can't. 4 highest conference champions get the byes.

Trying to get more money in the new FSU deal

I could always be wrong, but it wouldn't have been just talk, but a handshake agreement before he came. So....Rhule's not considering him if this is true, he's already chosen him. That's what I'm saying, I don't think any search will occur.

That was the talk when he was hired. He wanted to be a DC, got passed over for an NFL job, then agreed to come here. Doesn't make a lot of sense for him to choose a DB job at Nebraska otherwise with where he was.

Satt is great at keeping offenses from scoring, so make him the new DC.
