Lane Kiffin hired Charlie Weis Jr to be his OC at FAU when Weis Jr was 24. After spending 2 years as FAU's OC and then 2 years as South Florida's OC, Weis Jr again reunited with Kiffen to be Ole Miss's co-OC for the 2022 season. Quote Link to comment

It still begs the question: Is this the best Rhule could come up with in regard to finding a WR coach who shares his philosophy? Seems like Rhule will be coaching some of the coaches while those coaches coach the players. We were critical of Frost bringing his full staff with no P5 experience with him 5 years ago now it seems a bit concerning that Rhule has a few guys that seem a bit wet behind the ears. I was and still am a big supporter of the Rhule hire but this seems like a head scratcher to me considering the funding available for the staff. Big drop off from having MJ as WR coach. MJ may never coach at this level again based on his actions. 1 Quote Link to comment

Look at Russell Wilson with the Broncos for example. He looked like a great pick up and they paid him pleeenty. But, if the guy doesn’t fit in the system or can’t perform, it doesn’t matter how good his resume is or how much he is paid relative to others. It’s fair to question buddy hires or seemingly lacklaster credentials but I believe it’s more important that coaches get along with each other, can work together in a common direction and fit the overall vision of the team determined by the HC. Rhule will ultimately be judged on the teams performance. All position coaches are just a piece of the puzzle that will help (or hinder) the end product. I can't disagree. That was why I included the additional "but" comments. Rhule has a proven system that has worked at two separate places. Both, IMHO, in worse shape than NU. I think we are in good hands. Probably since Frank tbh. I liked Bo and still do, but he was a 1st time coach. 2 Quote Link to comment

Yes, like the loud support for Frost by the fans as an OC genius, Bo was hire because he was a DC genius. But both had far too little experience for our level. BC was a culture misfit and MR- was just the anti-Bo no other reason to hire the guy. We finally have an AD who knows how to hire for our level of competition/tratition/expectations, and I think Rhule will get us back there. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I just wanted to know why he has high admiration for our new wr coach. 1 Quote Link to comment
84HuskerLaw Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 He knows recruiting in Texas and La. A good addition for contacts and player eval. Recruiting is the big first step for NU imo. On the field won’t get much better until the team gets more athletic. Quote Link to comment
admo Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I pretty much agree with @teachercd in that it's just a WR coach with a position group that most can successfully do for that room. I also think he will do extremely well with recruiting, besides coaching what the OC wants the receivers to do. I don't find this as a terrible hire as most, and just see it as an overreaction by them. Quote Link to comment
I AM FOOT FOOT Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Extremely well in recruiting?? Recruits want to know what that coach can do to develop them,what's this guy gonna say??? He's never coached or played the position . I really hope I'm wrong with this one but if this is who was hired I'd think a lot of guys said no first. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Pedro G Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I see a very energetic and enthusiastic young coach who can relate well with high school players because of his age. He might become a very good recruiter who will be seen as a big brother figure. That’s looking on the bright side. Hopefully that is what Nebraska is getting. Quote Link to comment

It is often times why the staff will have a ace recruiter that snags kids that don't even play the position that he coaches. But I totally get what you are saying too and I agree. 1 Quote Link to comment
