It feels like our entire DL plan was to hire ERob and have him handle getting the talent.

When we lost ERob, we were completely flummoxed about how to fill his job and about how to get any players in here.

Even Sipple giving up

This defense is gonna get run over again next season.

Rhules under quite literally zero pressure with his massive buy out and if he does get fired he’s 75 million dollars richer.

I don’t think the d line coach means as much anymore on getting the talent. You better bring the bag. The d line coach last year was a scapegoat too. He had a lot of players who weren’t ready for B1G play. It doesn’t take a genius to coach d line. The linebackers coach has let me down as much as any coach on defense.

This doesn’t change the fact that we felt good about our chances.

Just happy to have a hat on the table.

It's wild that they ended up making the same mistakes as last year. Late DL coach hire, DL misses in the portal, no RB. Rinse and Repeat. Also no DL signed in the 2026 class (so far but not looking good).

Here’s to giving up 250 yds per game on the ground next year…

At this point, our best option may just be to pay Keona whatever he wants to stay.

Would we really want someone who can't maths at the junior college level?

How does he spell his name?

Apparently they could have saved the money from Pat Stewart's salary and brought in a DT or two.

Unfortunately Miami has NIL money in their couch cushions that will be more than NU can offer.

I think we should expect a Pat Stewart extension by the end of next week.

Nebraska seems to have taken an NFL approach with positional values and possibly an internal salary cap while teams wanting to compete at high levels are just throwing whatever money they got around
