Breaking Nebraska is hiring Geep Wade as its O-Line Coach

I use CoPilot which has proven to be the best AI tool I have employed. Really good insights here - please see the chart it created at the end of the data here:

✅ 2023 Season
• Pass Block Win Rate (PBWR): ESPN does not publish college PBWR widely, but based on sack and pressure data, GT ranked top 10 nationally in QB sack rate (≈3%), indicating strong pass protection.

• Run Block Win Rate (RBWR): Estimated from rushing efficiency: 5.54 yards per carry, suggesting above-average run blocking.

• Sacks Allowed per Snap: 15 sacks on 379 pass attempts → 3.96% sack rate.

• Pressure Rate: Not directly listed, but low sack rate and high completion percentage (61.3%) imply pressure rate likely below 25%.

• Yards Before Contact: With Jamal Haynes averaging 6.1 YPC, most advanced splits suggest ~2.0–2.3 yards before contact for lead backs.

✅ 2024 Season
• PBWR: Again, ESPN’s PBWR for college isn’t public, but GT allowed 9 sacks on 408 pass plays → ~2.2% sack rate, which is elite.

• RBWR: Team averaged 5.03 yards per carry, indicating solid run-blocking efficiency.

• Pressure Rate: With sack rate this low and QB Haynes King completing 72.9%, pressure rate likely under 20%.

• Yards Before Contact: Based on RB Jamal Haynes (5.62 YPC) and OL grades, estimate ~1.8–2.0 yards before contact.

✅ 2025 Season
• PBWR: GT allowed 9 sacks on 354 pass attempts → ~2.5% sack rate, still excellent.

• RBWR: Team averaged 5.6 yards per carry, among the best in ACC.

• Pressure Rate: Likely under 22%, given sack rate and QB efficiency (71.5% completion).

• Yards Before Contact: With Malachi Hosley averaging 7.3 YPC, advanced splits suggest ~2.5 yards before contact for primary backs.45

Key Takeaways

• Georgia Tech’s OL has been consistently strong in pass protection, ranking near elite levels in sack prevention across all three years.

• Run blocking improved steadily, peaking in 2025 with explosive backs benefiting from clean lanes.

• While official PBWR/RBWR percentages for college teams aren’t widely published, sack rates and rushing efficiency strongly indicate top-tier OL performance.

I can’t wait to hear your cope when the actual dc gets announced

I'm not coping at all. But the any fan who thinks Nebraska couldn't pay more than Syracuse for a DC is a fucking dipshit.

No one thinks that. We all agree he wanted his own DB coach and we oddly drew the line up front about that. As if we’re in a position to think a freshman DB is worth drawing the line over.

I’m always happy…Living the life!

71° today…

Thanks for asking. How you doing, brother?

Is that Santa Barbara?

 

[SantaBarbaraSker]

Is that Santa Barbara?

Yes.

 

[Jim14510]

I haven't seen a real answer on how his name is pronounced so I'm going to say Yeep.

 

[SantaBarbaraSker]

Which car am I looking? I refuse to believe there's actually someone named Geep

I refuse to believe there’s someone named Pepe… 😉

Every head coach for every college football program in America hires the assistant coaches. Coordinators don't make the hires.

The assistants report to the head coach. Uncle Raiola wasnt fired by Holgorsen. He was canned by Rhule.

And its kind of absurd that anyone thinks Nebraska should fire a Coach like Addison Williams for the DB coach from Toledo.

 

[PonyBoy]

Would that put him at the top for OL coaches?

USA Today will publish the list in a week or so for 2025 assistant pay.

FootballScoop had a list months ago & based off that - for OL coaches $750K would put him tied for 13th and 4 or 5 in the B1G.

Silent “G” - so Eep

Coincidentally, my rap name is “Silent G”

A very normal leader would let the new DC come in and realize ( and announce ) we’re keeping the DB coach, if that was their choice. Lord knows the only reason the DB is coming here is for the $. Versus announcing up front. Just a smooth brain move for a leader, undercutting them up front.

You also thought our previous handful of DB coaches were elite, dating back to the “Nadab Joseph is an Immediate 2 deep player” posts of yours.

Beep beep, I'm a Geep

So wait, you’re saying he demanded that we take his DB coach and we refused, but should have just lied to him instead?

He wanted his own db coach, Rhule said no, should have said “ok” and realized it was NIL that drove Odem here not our DB coach
