Whether he’s a Chess Master or below average player is still TBD here at Nebraska. But I’ll give credit where credit is due.

There is a reason he brought Snow in when he brought Holgersen in. Those were his guys. White was already gone. If he wasn’t, Rhule knew it was coming and set up a Plan B.

He had Butler here immediately following the needs to replace our DB coach. Those talks had happened long before.

It’s rare when Rhule gets caught blind. Guessing Knighton told him a bit ago he was going with White. The KC Assistant coach happened too quick for Rhule to not have known.

Pot Roast just publicly resigned and literally we have a new coach not long after? It didn’t just happen.

If only he would bring in a stud Special Teams coach. It’s unforgivable if Foley is still here.

I'm assuming you meant Holgorsen. No worries it's easy for that to happen 😉

He hired Satterfield
He hired McGuire
He hired Foley
He hired that drunk Texas HS coach
His boss fired Cooper for him
He was blindsided by 105
He was forced by fan uproar and AD reaction to make in-season coaching changes.
He called off a wider DC search because he was blindsided by the defense player exodus.

He hired Satterfield - Annnnnnd????

He hired McGuire - Yeah so he could get in with the Texas HS Coaches

He hired Foley - Hiring fine. Not firing is inexcusable
He hired that drunk Texas HS coach - another Texas HS Football legend hired to create positive PR with Texas football coaches. This is chess.
His boss fired Cooper for him - Huh?
He was blindsided by 105 - So was everyone. The chess move was to stockpile 160 kids so you can pick the best one if the ncaa finally did something
He was forced by fan uproar and AD reaction to make in-season coaching changes. - yeah and played chess with his moves
He called off a wider DC search because we was blindsided by the defense player exodus. - huh!?

yeah I think you'e giving him too much credit for some circumstances he had little control over. No doubt he thought Tony was a short termer but I doubt he hired Butler thinking he actually would be basically forced to promote him because of the timing of the portal and Pot Roast taking half of his DL 2 deep. Butler is qualified. Shorts is qualifed. Simpson is qualified. Bradden is qualified but no way was that in the works before Pot Roast left. Maybe he had a list of guys he kept just in case but I suspect Mozee turned him on to Bradden.

“Hired McGuire to get in with Texas HS players”

No he didn’t. He hired him because he was a former player of his and was his coffee and burrito boy at the Panthers. Nothing more.

It was a pretty desperate hire after the whole Mickey thing blew up in our face.

Maybe.

I’m of the opinion he was bringing him regardless since he employed him at the NFL level and promoted him after 1 year.
I do think he's a bright guy and will have a successful coaching career someday. He just wasn't really ready to be a P5 WR coach.

Because he is too lazy to actually do a real job search like the rest of us. Mickey was arrested in Nov. Brother Rhule had all the time he needed to interview

How do you he won’t have a new special teams coach. Maybe the new guy can’t get away from his team right now

That was already the plan when Butler was approched to come here back in July as the only reason he left the Bills was because he passed over by the Bills LB coach for the DC and Butler wanted to be a DC. It was the plan all along once White decided to leave. He wouldn't have actually left the Bills had he not been approched with it and assured as he already had it made in the shade there. He left at the top of his game. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to get what you want.

I fully believe little matty promised him the job

Don't knock it as it's been over a decade now and a ton more coaching experience especially being part of the NFLs best Defense for 6 years straight. I'm willing to give him a chance. It's been said by actual experts that Butler has a higher ceiling than the bunch that were interested in the position here and there were some really good ones including Leonard. Don't hang him before he has a chance to prove himself, only going by what he did with a severly depleted roster after Sandusky. To finish with a 60th ranked defense having a severly decimated roster is pretty amazing with all of the transfers out the door and scholarship reductions leaving not much real talent left on that side of the ball and still managed to finish 60th. Penn State is extremely lucky they didn't get the death penalty over that scandal as it was that bad. Between Sandusky, Paterno and former DONU and at that time current Chancellor Graham Spanier, it was a total **** show. Butler was hired into a very unfair situation being behind the proverbial 8 ball from day 1 after being promoted to DC. He got the best out of what he had left to work with and what he was left with was actually worse than 60th and he got the best he could out of those players that remained and didn't bail.

His defense had 4 NFL guys on it.

Many more than he will have here next year.

Your posts are comically terrible.

No, it isnt. MR is a stand up guy. Foley wont be retained. I don’t think MR fires a guy midseason unless he absolutely has to.

You don’t think our defense has 4 NFL guys on it next season?

I think
Wright
Shavers
Jeudy

One would assume we are going to be adding some serious portal talent. If two of them aren’t future NFL caliber I’ll be surprised and disappointed.

Sorry. No, I don’t.
I think he will have a nice set of game film and ample stats to get picked up. He’s got decent size at 6’ 185ish.

He didn’t start till Purdue and led the team in PBUs and was second in INTs. His stats are nearly identical to Cam Taylor Britt’s junior season.

His dad played pro ball. His uncle and two cousins both played in the league. There is a lot there for NFL scouts to latch onto.

He’s a good college player. NFL probably not. There’s so few guys who make it in the NFL to begin with and we’re a 6-6 team with one 3rd team all conference player. That said the addition of all these teams has made it tougher for guys to get post season conference awards. There’s just more to pick from.

No arguments there, but damn those veteran WRs really let McGuire and the rest of us down. Those two transfers dropped crucial passes time and again, didn't block, one of them ran crappy routes. I wouldn't blame the poor play of those two on their position coach.

That was the year before he was DC. The year he was DC only had 1 defensive player selected which was DaQuan Jones 112th Pick to the Tennesee Titans. Derp!


This was the draft for the 2013 season, the season Butler was DC

They had 2 on the offense drafted WR Allen Robinson 61st pick to the Jags and OG John Urschel 175th pick to Baltimore, and only 1 on defense and 2 undrafted free agants that really did nothing. Butler's side of the ball was depleted like I said.

I just love genuine, bonafied never experts like you as you are actually fun to laugh at! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

The question I have is:
You have one of the most talented defensive coaches in the country, with a team recruited for that coach and you just accept that he was a temporary solution? I thought the CEO was supposed to do what is best for the bottom line? Why did Tony leave for a 2 win team when the staff in Florida St is likely to be fired next year? Why a lateral move? Why act like it was inevitable when he is the most important coach on your staff, even more so than Rhule.
