New DL Coach
- Thread starter Headcard
- Start date
Same guy who reported we were hiring Butler. Would be odd of him to report both of these things if he wasn’t really confident
If that’s true it means that Rhule knows how big this year three is, having two new coordinators on his staff is a big adjustment and (hopefully) should have a new ST coordinator as well
Also has Florida ties and experience as a DB coach. Looks to be a well rounded hire if true
He was Assistant DL Coach for the Chiefs. Just like Pot Roast was Assistant DL Coach for the Panthers.
How bout wait til the season starts with the new additions and say this, what name in the portal right now do you feel we can't upgrade?or are u just a complainer
One thing we do know is that O'Brien IS a really good play caller. It will be interesting as the game goes on, who makes the better adjustments. If Butler can make good adjustments as the game goes along, it could be okay.
Im not going to judge the Dline coach yet. He has about the same experience Pot Roast had. Hopefully he can recruit better than Pot Roast. Butler on the other hand.
We needed a DC/dl coach who'd bring players with them with this being the portal era win now era. Haves and have nots.
If NU wasn't already in the modern have not bracket before, they're certainly going to be now. Yay.
meh. zero teams have the 'portal era' figured out. If you were hoping for another Indiana situation, good luck. not happening anywhere else anytime soon on that level. Someones gonna try, and they are gonna fail.
Last I checked fans are allowed to criticize coaching hires on a football chat board. And these are highly criticizable hires. Especially Butler.
Don't argue with idiots.
The good thing is, we can look forward to "interim head coach Dana Holgorsen" next year!
Knighton's only college coaching experience was at Wagner before joining Rhule in Carolina... not exactly a huge difference there and we were pretty happy with Knighton.
I think it is safe to say that 99.9%, or more, of people on the board never heard of this guy and therefore have no idea what to expect. Obviously he's not a flashy hire and won't be leaving a college program and trying to bring guys with him. But the dude is young, I would guess they think he will be a good recruiter, and has spent a lot of time coaching some great defensive linemen.
Not flashy, but I'd rather be optimistic and hope if he is a good one he sticks around for a while.
I'm fine with the DL coach. DC hire was a straight dud. And now we are left to wonder if he is dumb enough to retain Foley. Of course we all know he is.
He spent some time at Florida Atlantic and Bethune Cookman. As others have said, about as much college experience as Knighton had.
A guy who can say he coaches one of the best DL in the NFL (Chris Jones) is at least one good selling point.
Everyone is already automatically putting this hire down as he was an assistant DL coach, well so was Pot Roast for Carolina and look how he turned out as full blown DL coach both years here. The Chiefs have won how many Super Bowls now which the new guy was a part of all? People need to give him a chance instead of crying because their BS narratives weren't met on who they wanted. Deal with it, or go find another team to root for!

Don’t get me wrong I’m not excited about butler being the new dc but I hope he makes me eat my words and has a top 10-20 defense
