You don't and thus the whole discussion makes no sense.
Lol at Tony White…

He was getting his toes stepped on, and then they were dictating his defenses with the new hires that came in. Not sure if he was gone before this, but when you start hearing some things after the fact that some things were getting installed that he wasn't wanting, then see these quotes:
I didn't hear him talk like that except after that Indiana game. Just very interesting. When you hire Snow and bring in Butler that verbally said he wanted to be a DC... there was just more going on than wanting to be back towards family. I would also point to Knighton being Rhule's guy but leaving with TW.

I get that, was probably his defenses worst performance since getting to Nebraska so his comments came off differently to me. I take a lot of the "leaked info" with a giant grain of salt.
That said there's been a lot of chatter since the move that the kitchen was too crowded, which is understandable.
I think the biggest issue was Rhule wanting to get away from the 3-3-5.

I’m gonna play devils advocate on the argument of too many cooks in the kitchen. Just for the fuck of it and create discussion.
Offense has 3 on field coaches that are or have been OC AND qb coaches. Albeit two haven’t been here all 3 years they seem to be gelling well.
I guess I’m saying it’s possible to have multiple chefs and put out a good meal.
Then again if a chef uses cilantro instead of parsley in pasta, that meal would not turn out well.

If your goal is to add the best available coaches to your staff it's hard to bitch about the additions especially their secondary expertise.

Our secondary performance has been unquestionably better this year as well, so it’s hard to say that some tweaks on the pass defense weren’t warranted.

I find it hard to believe that Tony White is the kind of guy that sees an opportunity to surround himself with great defensive minds and decides it's not for him unless there were significant philosophical differences. It's certainly not the type of mentality I'd want in my future head coach.

According to some in this thread, TW wanted basically total autonomy and resented Rhule’s involvement. If that was the case, you have to get him out of there regardless of what players we may have lost as a result.

Yeah, not what I would've expected of him.

Shit happens. Knowles left Ohio State after the Natty because Day chewed his ass about playing Downs as a two high safety instead of moving him around to get him involved more, which feels obvious given that he may be the best overall player in this draft class

Were there more cooks in the kitchen bc TW’s defensive scheme had issues or he was struggling? No one knows and could this be sour grapes on TWs side of things? It’s all rumor, speculation, innuendo which makes the whole thing pointless unless folks have proof or where there.
