A more serious one would be to try and get an interview with Wilhite.
After listening to his segment about the Joe Burrow situation, it would be great to get some more insight from him. I would love to know a lot of the Bo recruiting stories, especially Bubba Starling, but I feel like there would be a lot of gold in hearing about how Bo recruited.
He also mentioned that he thought the “bag” was dropped for Lamar Jackson and that is the reason he never came here. More stories like that would be interesting, as well as if Nebraska (under any of the staffs he was a part of) ever did anything a little shady.
Also would be interesting to get his insight on the differences in the 3 coaching staffs he was under, and how his roles changed/what his actual role was. Also what he thinks of Rhule (even though he was let go) and the enormous support staff he is creating. Will this truly be helpful, and if so, why didn’t the previous staffs ever try this approach (did the higher powers not allow it, did the coaches not want it?)?
His thoughts on why each staff failed would be good info too. He seemed to infer that Bo’s unraveling was Perlman and Eichorst, which we basically have always assumed. But was there more to his failures? He mentioned that Bo did recruit, but our recruiting results later in his tenure would indicate otherwise, especially with basically not recruiting during the season. He also said that the assistants are the ones who recruit and the HC closes. Rhule seems to be throwing that idea on its head, so what does he think about that.
Finally, get his thoughts on why St. Louis has been so difficult for Nebraska to recruit. And in addition, where does he think Nebraska would have the most success recruiting and what our true sales pitch should be (what has been successful in the past that may work for the future). Rhule seems to be emphasizing the Northeast, Texas, and to a lesser degree the Southeast, while also keeping the 500 mile radius. We seem to be fine leaving the West coast, at least for now (maybe the additions of USC and UCLA will change that).
Wilhite just seems like he would have so much great insight to what went on in the program, but not sure if he would be willing to share much (his interview seems to show he is willing to talk though). Maybe if you had him sit down with Jay Foreman (I realize they played at different times, but both were Blackshirts and share a love of the program and played under Osborne) when you do those pieces, he may be more willing to offer some nuggets.
