Here’s one to keep an eye on. Ben Scott, multi-year starter on the o-line for ASU.

Yep, ON3 is reporting he was spotted at the Basketball game this weekend. Huge if we could get two tackles out of the portal

They have one stand up LB on the line most times. Looks like a 4-2-5 most times, sometimes a true 3-3-5...in the B10 I guess we will see. 

They also play a bear front out of this which will translate well for the run heavy teams in the Big 10.

2021: #18 total defense, #69 scoring defense nationally
2022: #29 total defense, #35 scoring defense.

Seems decent.

Look at the jump from 2019 to 2020 when he took over.

This is a home run hire. We will also absolutely run his system.

This account is highly sus. That said he’s liked some Rhule tweets and started following a Husker page recently

It's a chance.  If a player enters the portal, the school does not have to honor their scholarship if they withdraw.  Plus, if they do transfer, the player has to sit out unless they are a graduate or the head coach changes 

I agree with all the above, but the one time transfer with no penalty rule is still in place. Also, players don't get another free transfer year just because the coaches leave; they can just enter the portal outside the set windows, but if they previously used their one time transfer, they would have to sit out that year unless they had a waiver or were a graduate transfer.

Another off-field hire.  Has recruiting and special teams experience.  Was with Rhule at Temple and Carolina.

 

 

Sean Callahan reported on Tuesday this dude would likely be in a off the field personnel role.

I started to type that he seemed likely a little bit ago.  Makes sense that the reason we haven't announced anything is because the guy is still coaching.

 

But am I missing it or is there really no connection to Rhule?  Not that he couldn't be the first but that would definitely be a departure from what he's done so far.

I’ll preface this by saying I think it’s a rumor that started from a random ON3 poster with no juice. That said, if Rhule was willing to give Leonhard a call, he might be in this case too.

We need some positive news. So who do we think we actually will go after in the portal?  Where is depth or upgrading position units at greatest need? 

Buckle up, friend. This is going to be a month long affair. Casey Thompson didn’t commit to NU until January last year.

Gonna be a lot worse before it gets better. There will be a portal exodus me thinks. This is gonna take time. 

With 10 million in NIL money, we can reload.

The information I saw didn't note that he hadn't been the actual assistant this year.  I appreciate the correction on that.

 

But I stated in my post above that we don't know what the title are going to be.  Which is what Callahan said.

You were right! He just updated his bio to Dline Coach on Twitter.

2 minutes ago, Mavric said:

 

Which is what I said earlier.  And Callahan didn't counter anything.  

 No you said he was the Panthers Dline coach the past two years. Which he most definitely wasn’t even close to being. He’s been a general coaching assistant and an interim assistant Dline coach for a handful of game. He very much could be the Dline coach or he could not be. Callahan saying his position is unknown and you saying his position is known is counter to one another.

5 minutes ago, Mavric said:

 

Eh, unless I'm missing it I don't think so.  The article he just posted just said "It’s unknown what their duties on the coaching staff will be".

Exactly that quote. This guy was a coaching assistant and was only promoted to assistant Dline coach after Rhule and some staff was let go. He could easily be a graduate assistant, analyst, etc as much as the d line coach. 

3 minutes ago, Mavric said:

 

It's possible.  But it seems likely that if they were already position coaches they will be in that role here.  Might be some tweaks on exactly what.  But it's pretty sure they're on the way.

That’s counter to what Sean Callahan is saying regarding this guy.

1 hour ago, Mavric said:

Pretty new to coaching.  Spent two years as the DL coach at Wagner.  Has been the Panthers DL coach the last two years.  But was a player and captain at Temple when Rhule was the OC there.

 

 

I think you might have jumped the gun with the title of the thread. Reports are saying they are unsure what position both will take on staff.

I concede he had one good year at a P5 destination. He has never stayed anywhere long enough to demonstrate consistency. 

He has consistently shown he makes teams better every year he’s been somewhere after year 1 in CFB. Outside of cognitive dissonance m, I don’t know how you can view where he started and how he finished at Baylor as anything but evidence of building a team. 

7 minutes ago, Caveman said:

 

That squad did not beat a single ranked team. I would not consider them elite.

So you concede he can build a program, just not an elite one?

Rhule coached ONE good season at Baylor, which consisted of wins over mediocre teams. He has never built an elite team in a P5 conference. He may Nebraska, but that's far from guaranteed.

He’s never built a P5 team? Baylor had 45 scholarship players and 1 commit when he took over. Year 3 they are in the Big 12 championship and playing in the Sugar Bowl.

I know we think its going to be in a week but I posted a question in when does Nebraska name a permanent head coach that questions if TA doesn't name a head coach in a week then what? Not being a negative nancy or debbie downer just had to ask bc its a possibility we don't even have our coach lined up at all.

If it’s not next weekend that could mean a coach in a conference championship game.
