Breaking JoBu Out

Right on, I think I actually remember you posting this a while back now.

I think my feeling was how shortsighted TW was being regarding having people with experience you can bounce ideas off of in the room. I get wanting control and the coach-ego aspect, but let's not kid ourselves, we were always bitching about coverage under TW.

The DB coach nug is new, though. Definitely something that would've pissed me off as well. Thanks.
Ya, I mean I get it hiring the best you can. But imagine Tony White being a pretty good DC for us and seeing this quote about the guy you didn't have a say on hiring coming to your assistant pool:

Either north stadium or Cockeye shitty will burn down if we hiring a stoops and Brian 🤣 may be the tide we need

This is something I'm willing to listen to. Though I would say that we had two VERY good DTs that weren't able to get experience this year as true freshmen due to injury, one of which is Nash 2.0 (due to background and accolades).
I like those 2 recruits as well but you aren't rolling out 2 RS Fresh coming off injuries next year and succeeding in the B1G. Plus you could play them both eventually in 4-3.
 
I also hope we move away from the 3 man fronts. There isn't enough NT talent around us to play that defense.

I think we have pretty good personnel to roll out a 4 man front and not have to go find another Jack that is also hardly available to us.

I’ve said it before. I’m a 4-3 guy. I know and love the defense.

Who’s in our 2-deep if we had a 4-3 to start the year?

I’ll be open about the fact that IMO we don’t have any better 4-3 defensive lineman than we do 3-3 or 3-4.

I've always been a 4-3 guy but honestly it's Jimmie's and Joe's.

If you're an experienced Husker message board person everybody remembers when Nebraska was a 4-3 team and every message boarder out there was clamoring for a 3-4 to recruit "athletes" for the OLB positions to rush the passer because it was impossible to recruit pass rushing DEs. Now the claim is it's impossible to recruit 2 gap nose guards.

I've always used Cockeye and Wisconsin from a few years ago as these examples. Cockeye is a great 4-3 defense. Wisconsin was a great 3-4 defense. Both worked in the Big 10 because they recruited, developed and coached up to that defense.
 
Good news is you wouldn't have to rely solely on them. You have RVP, Davis, Lenhardt, and portal adds with them to supplement.
Lendhardt sucks dick. They need to process him. RVP is not a nose. He’s like Ty where he needs Nash to eat block so he can rush the passer. Hopefully Terry provides this, but we need some girth

I think Keona Davis will be way more successful slimmed down and playing at DE in the 4-3.

I like Nwaneri a lot more in the 4-3 as well.

No matter what we need more guys at DT.

Whether you're an even or odd front you have to have 6 bodies that can play A or B gap in the Big 10. Nebraska has approximately 1 right now in RVP and I think he was thrown into too many reps a year too early.

100% and it doesn’t happen immediately.

I will say it’s on the staff that we went into ‘25 with the level of inexperience we did up front, so it does lay at their collective feet.
