  1. Last time that happened was every DB coach Pelini ever hired.
  2. I dont think the Defense staff should be in over their heads teaching the Defense. Just making sure each level of the defense knows their responsibility and communicate to be on the same page. That is not specific to the 3-3-5, that is for any defense. Bob Diaco struggled for many reasons, personnel (going from 4 front Pelini and Banker to 3 Front), practice structure, adapting defense to style of play, etc..... Tony White has talked about it but personnel will dictate your defense. If we dont have good LB's and are good up front you will see more 4 front alignments. It will be White's Job to structure his install, drill progressions, meetings to inform the assistant coaches what needs to be taught and how to teach it. You reevaluate this daily. For the Texas HS coach. He was a Head Coach that ran a team and was in charge of the performance of players and coaches from all 3 phases. He is not being asked to call the offensive plays. He will be teaching his TE's how to operate in the Run and pass game. I am sure he is 100% qualified to teach what is asked from our TE's to perform in the offense. I bet he brings a unique background knowledge from all of his years performing his HS duties that can come in handy too. There are some very innovative coaches at the HS level too. Also, Nebraska has had trouble recruiting Texas since joining the B1G and this may be a guy that can get us back into one of most talented football states in the country. I would consider that a win.
  3. I think all of them have experience for the job they are taking. Might not be a lot of years, but they have coached. Position Coaches have to be great teachers, develop relationships, and understand the game. Head Coach and Coordinators have to make sure all the coaches are on the same page and teaching/drilling everything the way they want it executed. All of these guys are familiar with what Rhule wants, his scheme is and how he wants it taught. That is just as valuable as bringing in a guy that has coached a position (maybe a different way/philosophy for 10 years). This is how you have coaching trees that branch out from a Head Coach. Great coaches produce not only great players but great coaches. Hopefully Rhule will be that guy for us and we will be upset in a few years when some of his unknown assistants move on to other jobs.
  4. Saw some smoke on Twitter from an Iowa guy saying they are out. Didnt see them as a good fit. Don't know how to post that stuff on here. @PatHardy twitter posted it. Nebraska and OU battle??
  5. Had a similar response to a couple kids who committed to Arkansas and Blake corum announcing he is coming back.
  6. Other teams in the top 10 might have guys that didn’t contribute or didn’t make it too.
  7. I don’t think that is just a Texas thing. Lot of coaches in the larger classes here are making 6 figures easily.
  8. I agree with Michigan. I think those might be his best positions, but he can play anywhere for us. Isaiah Simmons type kid.
  9. Highlight tape is fun. Dude closes on the ball.
  10. Agree. Like if PJ Fleck as a former nfl superstar. Exhausting.
  11. I agree. We don’t play for awhile so we got time. As far as recruiting goes. We already have a QB coming in for a visit without a qb coach
  12. Yep. What a selfish jerk. Going to a place that puts LBs in the NFL and just had a Butkus winner. We will be fine, he will be fine, the Iowa offense on the other hand (YEEESHH!!). Maybe he can play QB
  13. RPO can be more about QB decision making and quick release/accuracy than QB size and running ability. A lot of NFL teams have modified the RPO game were it doesn’t necessarily have to be QB run oriented.
  14. Truth. Heck of a lot easier to teach a kid to catch than to teach them how to run a 10.2 100m.
  15. Kleimann. Go pay Hazelton from mich state to be the DC and let’s be the NDSU of P5 football and run A gap power.
  16. As a coach I cringe hearing a player talk about what they have been preparing for with the media (even front). Personnel is fine but talking about what coverages you have been working against and what base front you are expecting is too much to share. NW has a week to tweak plans or it reinforces the wrinkles they have been practicing. Like Illini coming out in the a different front than what we practiced against all camp and us being lost last year. Nit picking, but it is nice to se he has a basic knowledge of his opponent.
  17. I would take that with a grain of salt. Chins has faced frosts offense for many years and knows it inside out. The wrinkles might come from being unfamiliar with the offensive bosses next move. But it is nice to have new ideas implanted into the offense.
  18. Recruiting thread is getting hard to read around here. Very little pertains to Malachi Coleman.
  19. 500 mile kid. 2026 Jackson Cantwell from Nixa, Missouri might pop on everyone’s radar soon if he decides to play football at next level. He is 6’8 260 incoming frost that benches 355x3 times and throws a discus 200 feet. Could be a P5 kid in three sports bball, track and football. Freak athlete. Both parents were Olympic track athletes I believe.
  20. 6’3 210 as a SR in HS. Coleman is still a JR. could easily push 200 by SR year and keep getting faster. Has an additional inch or 2 on his frame.
  21. He could play wherever you need him. Isaiah Simmons at Clemson was a tall athletic HS WR that played anywhere from Safety to a stand up rush end in college.
  22. He is an edge player. A flex DE slash OLB guy. Doesn’t need to be 265. Nice twitchy long athlete.
