So his only college coaching experience is two years at one of the worst FCS programs in the country? Pretty disappointing hire.

If I am not mistaken Rhule gave the first P5 job to Elijah Robinson and took Frank Okam from Rice to Baylor and now both are stars. I think he clearly has an eye for coaching talent.

So I know Duval has already been let go. But what about the rest of the staff? We are announcing new.coaches with out the previous staff being let go?

Mega barf.
Rhule knows this guy very well and what he’s capable of. He’ll be fine if he can relate to young DTs and get ‘em to NU. Rhule made it very clear that he’s going to hire guys who can teach his defense.

I like his energy and his youth should help. Recruiting is going to be new. No telling what you get there like any sales job. Some come in and kill it off the bat, others just can’t recruit to save their lives and never will. Sales are just one of those things you have or don’t, and don’t really know until you try

Only time will tell if we are getting another Mike Ekeler or a Donovan Raiola. Ekeler ended up being a good one and ready while Don was obviously in way over his head

Pelini had a pretty good track record with first-timers. JP, Ekeler, Garrison. Frost's first times were a little less inspiring in Rudd and Raiola.

Pot Roast was a pretty good player in Denver

if Rhule wants players who want to be NFL guys, he should want coaches who know what it's like to walk that path

I do not care about "experience" nearly as much as most here

I’m not that down on those 2 guys. Our backers got a lot better when Chins play calling went away. IMO Raiola maybe did as well with the guys he was left with as anybody could have. He had no hand in recruiting those guys.

IMO experience coaching College D line isn’t as big of a deal as some other positions. He knows exactly what Rhule wants and Rhule trusts him to teach it.

Recruiting is a big deal, though, and "Pot Roast" has zero recruiting experience

Sales managers disagree! It is all about cold calls and activity! Hahaha

Would you rather go with a young and cheap Pot Roast at DL doing the things the HC wants done, thus saving $$ for a Mickey package? Or get an older dude for more $$ and end up getting the same result, but not saving the $$ for the Mickey package.

You really think Pot Roast will deliver the same recruiting results as someone like Elijah Robinson?

I'll happily give the benefit of the doubt to Coach Rhule on staffing choices given his track record at turning programs around. If the results on the field don't show up, I have full confidence he'll find someone who can get it done. It's important to set the foundation and get to building.

At this time you can assume entire previous on field staff is gone, except MAYBE Mickey
