Yep, exactly what they did with Fields. 

And from watching film on Fields, I'm more excited to have him then Moore.  You can't teach speed.

Losing Moore and Hausmann to Michigan says we're recruiting the right players, but Rhule might start feeling some heat about the Dvoracek hire more sooner than later.

Why??  Dvoracek can't be any worse then Rudd as a coach.  Ruud became a coach here.  Dvoracek is a experience lb coach.  That's all you can ask for.

Maybe it’s because they are more traditional LB’s that fit Michigan’s style vs what we are going to be doing? I get the sense we are going to value speed and disruption on defense. We have not done well with power on power unfortunately on the DL or LB IMO.

Or maaaybe it's just because Michigan is a better program for them right now in every way - academically, sending guys to the NFL, winning championships. If the only thing keeping them from the better opportunity was an existing relationship with the old staff, I cannot blame them in the slightest for jumping on that opportunity instead of starting a new relationship. I wish they were coming here, but I don't think it matters who we hired. It's a new face, and if it's going to be a new face might as well be the guy who will have you playing big time games in college and send you to the league.

If it didn't matter who we hired we wouldn't have spent three months hoping for a multi million dollar assistant coaching salary pool.

Point taken, Michigan is doing well right now. So far the thing I like about Rhule is he has a national recruiting presence and a style that just doesn’t get us left overs other B1G teams didn’t want. I think this was a big draw for Trev going after him over Fickell.  He’s hitting our region, the northeast, TX, the Carolinas all well. I like that he has a type of athlete he wants and if he doesn’t get it he finds another. So far so good but obviously we’ll evaluate this in 2 years.

I mean of course it matters who we hire overall, just talking for Hausmann and Moore specifically. Michigan is a better opportunity by any objective measure, I don't think there was a hire we could make that would immediately overcome that. For both (Hausmann in particular) we would seem to have an advantage in things more subjective in their importance - proximity to home, fan base, playing time. But unless you re-hire Ruud the existing relationship is off the table, so IMO they were gone no matter what.

Careful...some people on here don't like logical explanations.

 

Not saying anyone in particular, but some people...

That's not necessarily true.  Hausmann ran out the door so fast you didn't even realize how fast he did it.  Hausmann didn't even give the new staff a chance and mpo was already predetermined to leave once the season was over.  Moore on the other hand was committed to the coaches and not the University.  Once they fired Frost and MJ took over Nebraska tried keeping him in the loop of things all the while Michigan was saying come to the dark side.  Once MJ wasn't retained and Moore found out,! he knew he was going to leave bc he had already built that relationship with Michigan and it was going to be extremely hard for Nebraska to overcome that.  Both went to the dark side and both can go kick rocks for all I care.
