I bet they got shot down a lot but still didn't just settle for a one-dimensional offensive coach. Everybody's talking about offense offense offense while their defense looks like the 2007 Kansas game. Agreed that we need someone that doesn’t let defense be an after thought but after Bush took over our defense did enough to win games for the most part. All the offense had to do was not be a complete dumpster fire. Hell our D did better against Michigan than Ohio state did. Let that marinate for a hot minute. How about Offense offense w a side of Defense and Special teams? Quote Link to comment

Yep total defense by year per sports reference: 2017-114 2018-91 2019-20 IIRC, Rhule took over in 2017 and players were leaving left and right after Briles debacle. His 1st recruit class was composed of 3* or less. By 2019 had developed them and got a top 20 defense.... Hoping he can go for a three peat at NU and do the same as his previous 2 collegiate stops.... 2 Quote Link to comment
308_Husker Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Since I don't have a lot of time to do my own research and to look back through the threads, does anyone know Rhule's offensive and defensive schemes? Is he a spread offense guy, RPO guy? Is he a 3-4,4-3, or 4-2-5 guy? Quote Link to comment

Looking at those numbers makes me think it's even more likely that Rhule could (should?) give Mickey a shot. He's been able to put together some very good defenses. But he hasn't had the same level of success on offense. Perhaps he could use a guy that can bring in some play-makers. Quote Link to comment

But he's adapted and lately used more of an RPO-based scheme out of lots of 11 and even 10 personnel. On defense, he used to be a 4-3 guy but became more of a 3-4 guy. And even incorporated some 3-3-5 as warranted. 1 2 Quote Link to comment

I'd hope that he'd at least entertain that. Seems like our entire 2023 class committed because of MJ. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'd have love that this year using Chance a lot more as the HB type TE. I liked when we did use it. He was a very destructive blocker. Vok gone, Chance gone and no one else with a lot of snaps. Hoping Fidone stays, but unsure how he will be in year 3 with 2 surgeries.... RPO, I'd assume he will also look for a more mobile QB? Anyone in the wings on our roster that could run that? Haarberg, Torres, Smothers, Purdy, Masker... Quote Link to comment

Haarberg, Torres, Smothers, Purdy, Masker... Sounds like by the time he got to Baylor he had gone almost exclusively to 11 & 10 personnel. I would assume we will go back to having at least some threat of the QB run game. Charlie Brewer threw for 3,161 yards and 21 TDs in Rhule's last year at Baylor but was also their third-leading rusher with 344 yards and led the team with 11 TDs. I think any of those QBs we already have could be enough of a threat to do that. 2 Quote Link to comment
TiredHuskerFanMWI Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Was hoping for Luke Fickell, but I guess this is ok. My only worry is he has a very puncheable face. Just wondering if that'll bring us good luck or bad luck. 2 Quote Link to comment

Man I just took a look at OP's contributions here on HB- I'll take a stab in the dark and say he's had his face punched a couple times. What a miserable person. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
