Given my druthers I would prefer competent young dudes as assistants rather than corpse’s who smell like old spice
I bet this guy splashes on some sex panther before heading to the office or embarking on a recruiting visit

Hmmm……. They always say Wisconsin copies Nebraska, maybe they’re going to be going through their own version of the Callahan era?
Funny, no one talked about him at all until he was pressed into service as a true freshman. Now he is overhyped? In my opinion, he is not.
The fear is the 3-3-5 goes with a lot of speed and LB, big safeties. That can be easily changed by dropping down an edge rusher which makes your basic 4 man front. I would assume the hunt is on for fast, athletic guys to play the back 8 and I assume some studs to control the middle front. Not much was said about those guys.
He will see what Michigan, Ohio State, Wisconsin (formerly) and others did with a solid ground and pound and adapt. It isn't a single offering off the menu. Everything looks really positive about this guy and there should be some excitement on that side of the ball. Interesting that the players loved Chins from all accounts but the results weren't there obviously.
Thanks for linking this; it’s good to have this perspective. Looks like the OP breaking the news had all angry or shocked reactions on the ‘Cuse board.
Time to win

One thing fans shouldn’t give two sh!ts about though, is what scheme his name is a attached to.
There is this thing called substitution, and most people won’t notice the difference with what he’s doing compared to plenty of things Nebraska and/or other Big10 teams have done unless it’s vs 10 or 00 personnel IMO. And even then, there’s lots of versatility amongst the great DCs in the Big 10.
Again, the 3-3-5 is very adaptable, especially with subbing to fit offensive personnel.

Here’s what I know. Syracuse would have thumped us the last 2 years under his defense. Rhule seems to be going after to a T those young motivated assistants. His defenses were tougher than us with 2 star kids. I could give a $&it what the scheme is if our guys a tough and well coached
We’ve flipped and flopped between fronts for 2 years now at least in how they looked. I guess my main concern is the learning curve with nomenclature and new assignment descriptions. I fear we’re going to have a lot of busts the first year
Full speed ahead and not back pedaling hopefully. One very noticeable about Utah the other night is you had no idea where they were coming from but the almost always sent at least 5 after USC’s QB. Ears PINNED back
Rocky Long was considered one of the best college defensive coaches for many years.
Blaise Gunnerson will be interesting to watch in this. He could be a good fit along with Garrett Nelson hopefully.
Then add some portal talent.
Majority of the best defenses seem to attack. I hate the “sitting back and watching it all unfold approach.”
We’ll wait and see how it unfolds, but compare his resume to Chins resume when he was hired.
I’d call this an instant upgrade on paper.

funny, the paper that comparison was printed on would also have been an upgrade
my favorite part about this hire is the guy looks like someone you wouldn't want to meet in a back alley
defenders are supposed to be mean & nasty

Nebraska gave up over 600 yards in their game against Purdue. A mere 391 in the air to go with that 217 on the ground.
I don’t care if he looks like Wayne Newton if he can recruit and coach. Well maybe just a little bit.
I watched that whole game
purdue were down big, came back, went back & forth until the very end
was a great one. penalties did the boilers in much more than the 'cuse D (including very pelini-esque 15 yarder on their coach), but they did hold at the end

Gotta say this. The defense that gave us the most fits on the high school level was a well run 3-3 defense if disguised well. Never had a clue what lb were going to do. Lot's of slants and hole plugging. Bad because we pulled linemen 60-80 % of the time
Yes, but the slobberfest is a little much. I hope he goes to another BIG and we run his *** over.
Carriker was on Big Red Wrapup tonight (filmed yesterday I think), and he said the one defense he doesnt want is 3 3 5.
