Our defensive staff is literally:

Al Holcomb- DC

Don Johnson- Pass Rush Specialist

Mike Siravo- Defensive Run Game Coordinator

Losing all the Rhule trash has only improved the results on the field. What were any of the departed coaches actually contributing to the team?

Honestly I feel this will just further cement Wilks being given a shot. He's legitimately working with a hand behind his back in terms of coaching staff and personnel that were handed to him, give me a legit OC and his leadership and watch this team flourish.

I've been watching the Nebraska fan reactions with some amusement. They sound a lot like we did one Rhule was hired here.

There are celebrants, doubters, supporters, detractors, doom and gloomers,  rationalizers, skeptics and believers all jockeying to get their word out ASAP.

Me? I'm just gonna grab some popcorn and watch what happens 😄

That would be my thought too. If they are so linked to Rhule that they want to follow him, let them go.  We don’t want them anyway.

I don't blame them. They were almost certainly gone from here at the end of the season anyway. They were dead men walking and Rhule needs to fill those roles ASAP because he's gotta get to recruiting.

Jeez sounds like Nebraska is opening up that check book..

I guess they really think he'll make Nebraska relevant again

They are desperate, and I don't say that because they bought into The Process.  They went from a powerhouse program consistently in the yearly discussion of national championship contenders to an also-ran in the also-ran division of the Big10.

I don't think Rhule can get them back into the annual championship discussion, but he probably can keep them in the mix at the top of the Big10 west, even when USC and UCLA join......assuming the conference keeps divisions.  But I don't see anything in his record that says he is going to suddenly dethrone Ohio State, Michigan, or even Penn State as the conference kings.

That level of success will brighten the mood in Lincoln, but I doubt they stay there without challenging and sometimes successfully hunting bigger game.  We don't know that Rhule can't eventually do that, only that he never has. 

Good luck to Nebraska.  My guess is they are going to be grumbling again somewhere around 4-6 years from now.

As far as his remaining staff leaving, they have 4-6 years of job security in Lincoln and if he does make them relevant again, more after that somewhere.

I wouldn't' be so down on him if he had shown amount of accountability or self-awareness during his time here. Dude just came across as not thinking he was a big part of the problem, even if he did actually realize that.

Exactly. Thus far the ceiling for Rhule on his best day has been double digit wins over bad college teams and getting pounded by any legit team. So big 10 west title seems about right.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
