If only... Solich doesn't get fired in 2003 and we get to see what he can do with with a second year with his post-2002 staff adjustments. If it works, we maybe get a couple more years of being in the 9-10 wins a year department and maintain some respect. If it doesn't, he's shown the door and...

In some ways, it's been run pretty efficiently as is for a department undergoing a staff overhaul. Instead of being obligated to paying some processed coaches to stay the fuck away from the program, they're being demoted to handle lesser positions more fitting for them while they serve the...

From what I've been reading, Tennessee will sometimes aim to have the ball go out of bounds in some precise areas to prevent a return. In 2023, they had a rugby style kicker whose mobility would allow him to hold on to the ball long enough for the coverage unit to have made their way down field...

A- / B+ We have two coordinators that you could argue are Top 10 at their positions. We haven't had that since Osborne. In the past, we'd get a head coach who was a stellar coordinator and still call the plays on their side of the ball, but it always seemed like they would never hire other rock...

Kevin Wilson is back on the market.

I believe Marvin Sanders and Carl Pelini fall into that category. Ekeler left to pursue a co-DC opportunity at Indiana. I don't recall the jump being anything more than career progression oriented.

Hmmmm. If only Ron Brown could walk down the hallway and talk with Rhule for a minute.

The interesting thing to me is Houston has pretty much the exact same layout, including the red stripes extending to around the 20 yard line (Houston has it at the 25, but it does make for a nice red zone signifier in Nebraska's case) I wonder if Holgorsen had any input at all on this, even if...

That's one way to work on your red zone offense. In all seriousness, I kind of like it. Looking up other stadiums that do this like Ohio State, USC, and Oklahoma, it's a neat look that adds an extra splash of color to what is otherwise a bunch of green. My only hope is that they get rid of the...

Kind of interesting that after they got rid of Walters, they hire the head coach Walters was the defensive coordinator for while at Mizzou. I wonder if Odom can manage to retain Brennan Marion as his OC for another year or two. It's also worth noting we don't play them the next two years, so...

If he gets hired, I would be very curious, just from a "following from a distance" deal how he builds his staff. Who would he be willing to hire? Who would be willing to work for him? How much pull does working in Orlando have? Does Chinander come back? Does he pull some other analyst from the...

Rhule has made this move before at Temple with Adam DiMichele. In Year 1 at Temple, Rhule hired Terry M. Smith as a Pennsyvania high school head coach to coach WRs. (Essentially the prototype for Rhule hiring high school head coaches). After a year, Penn St. poached him. Smith is now the AHC in...

That seemed to be the way things were trending. Though at that time, Rhule was also happy with Satterfield as well. One thing about Rhule that I appreciate is that he does acknowledge the issues we seem to see. I doubt the secondary struggles are lost on him. The shake ups already with...

The fanbase has a weird mentality where we feel we deserve elite things, but also feel we will only luck into those things. I know people who are like that about life in general and they can be insufferable. Entitlement combined with a low sense of self worth. It's a toxic combo. This time two...

That's where I'm at with it too. Honestly, it seems like every report on every site essentially wants to say Dana will be calling the plays, but maybe feels embargoed from saying so or something. Maybe they don't want to spill the beans if Rhule wants to keep it quiet either out of respect for...
