New DC - Tony White

[Turd Ferguson]

You beat me.

I don't have any in my crawl space.

After enough booze every level of my house is a crawl space

Yep. That's the challenge with the 3-3-5. Having said that, switching to a 5-2 is pretty easy if you just sub in a couple of DTs.

From a recruiting standpoint, for whatever reason, Nebraska has been terrible at recruiting and utilizing traditional 4-3 DEs. The great ones are unicorns. But we shouldn't have much trouble recruiting more Hutmacher types. This defense allows us to get more big interior linemen and more hybrid speed guys on the edge. A power rushing attack presents the biggest challenge, but the 3-3-5 is deadly in 3rd down passing situations.

Fortunately we don't face many power rushing g attacks in the BIG

Seems to me I remember a new head coach years ago that hired a bunch of recruiters for his staff. Not sure people will remember who that was. I believe this coach asked one of those high school recruiting gurus whom he should hire. That particular staff didn't work out so well. I hope this one does. This one has a different feel based on the head coach.

Any relation to Barry White?

Poke salad?

Now -- we can move over to the recruiting board

Depends upon the competition. You can't run a straight 3-3-5 all season in the B1G. Our new coach will need to be a game-by-game strategist that employs multiple looks on the defensive side of the ball. I trust that he has the ability to do so until proven otherwise.

Think you can run the3-3-5 all season if you have the right personnel. A few Bobby Boucher LBs would make it work, although there may be a few personal foul penalties per game.

 

[Dugzilla]

Never heard of him. But, that's probably a good sign. Reading his bio, I'm on board.

 

[Captkenny]

This seems really underwhelming. Please help me get on board.

Let me help. Remember that just because you don’t know someone doesn’t mean he’s not good. Building a winning program is not going to be done through flash or sparkles. It is going to be a grind behind the scenes and hard work by the whole staff as well as the players. If that happens, it doesn’t matter that you weren‘t wowed by the hire.

 

[Scott in NY]

What does anybody know about him? 99% have to google him. Hardly a reason to question a poster.

If Rhule had to google him, I’d be worried. I’m pretty sure he didn’t.

Past failures at Nebraska with previous staffs is irrelevant to the programs future success of failure. How Nebraska fares going forward will depend on the hard work of the current staff and the current and future players.

Aside from 5-10 guys at the big blue-blood schools, I'd be willing to wager you wouldn't recognize most any DC's regardless of who MR selected.

Let’s put it another way- if this guy and chinander walked into an NCAA football convention five times as many coaches would know him over chinander.

 

[solesrfr]

Second time you have referred to me as a female. Weird.

I have a “I wouldn’t Rhule it out” joke up my sleeve just waiting, but I don’t want to use it quite yet. But when I bust that bad boy out, hilariosity will ensue.
