If it turns into Tollefson, then we’ll all know where this defense is going.
I have it on high confidence that Rhule is just waiting for the playoff to be over so we can pluck the best waterboy.
I have it on good authority that San Diego St is replacing our defense enough to make us a player.
He would screw that up.I have it on high confidence that Rhule is just waiting for the playoff to be over so we can pluck the best waterboy.

Wish he was coaching a stud college DT or at another D-1 school with somebody to bring. Maybe he has several younger brothers, cousins or nephews.That's what I'm hearing as well
yes, John BlakeHaven’t we tried the NFL assistant DL coach angle before?
Yes but this is different than our last one. Okam actually played the position in college and The NFL he was the main DL coach at multiple places in college and the NFL. It’s a pot roast with a way better resume.Haven’t we tried the NFL assistant DL coach angle before?
He does have experience coaching DL at the college level, including Rice, Baylor, and Toledo. Of course he’s a Rhule buddy which lowers it from a B level hire to a D-.Haven’t we tried the NFL assistant DL coach angle before?
Heck, the way things are going he may be able to bring an NFL d-lineman with him.Wish he was coaching a stud college DT or at another D-1 school with somebody to bring. Maybe he has several younger brothers, cousins or nephews.![]()
Yes, I thought we were moving away from the bring in an NFL coach model and going with lower level coaches who actually teach the game. Maybe this guy will be different.Haven’t we tried the NFL assistant DL coach angle before?
Because Rhule doesn't know how to build a coaching staff/roster. Rhule is a delusional self absorbed beta.Why didn't we get this Okam guy last year? He also doesn't exactly to appear to moving up as he gains experience. Raiders DL coach to Toledo to an assistant NFL coach?
Why do we make things so difficult? We can't find some college DL coach who has experience and is a proven, good recruiter? Someone like our DB coach.
He’d coached a lot in college.Haven’t we tried the NFL assistant DL coach angle before?
Wasn't the DB coach a DC before he came to Nebraska? Sort of exactly what you say about Okam, "doesn't appear to be moving up as he gains experience".Why didn't we get this Okam guy last year? He also doesn't exactly to appear to moving up as he gains experience. Raiders DL coach to Toledo to an assistant NFL coach?

Moving from a Big 12 DC to a Big 10 DB coach does not appear to be the same as MAC DL coach to NFL Assistant DL coach. If this guy is so great, why did we hire that other random dude last year?Wasn't the DB coach a DC before he came to Nebraska? Sort of exactly what you say about Okam, "doesn't appear to be moving up as he gains experience".
Frank was a good player in college. As a coach though? I think (may be wrong) but was fired or replaced at every stop he's had except for his time with rhule. Like I said I may be mistaken but I believe he was even let go by toledo. I really liked the rhule hire initially but his staff choices are bizarre.Moving from a Big 12 DC to a Big 10 DB coach does not appear to be the same as MAC DL coach to NFL Assistant DL coach.

I don't know, quite a bit of DL coaching experience. Knows Rhule which could be a positive or negative depending on your stance.I think we’re hiring a plan B guy.
His ability to recruit is my main concern.I don't know, quite a bit of DL coaching experience. Knows Rhule which could be a positive or negative depending on your stance.
I like the hire as he has coached future pros and in the pros.
So the Texans make a run and we won't even have our DL coach recruiting the early portal? Perfect.His ability to recruit is my main concern.

FWIW, I'd rather have the guy who punched Ned Ryerson.Ned Ryerson
