Someone posted on Tater Island that Simpson had moved on. Bio seems to be written in the past tense now... so much for him being Knighton's replacement.

edit: Twitter account no longer has a Nebraska mention.

Wow that sucks, his leaving will definitely impact our Miami/Florida recruiting.

All of the HS coaches we hired are gone after one year. Interesting.

That’s really weird. He was recruiting really hard out there

It is odd. How long will the Miami kids last now?

Don’t like hearing Micah has a long way to go to figure out the way things are done at Nebraska… hope he does, because he will be a good one

I’m starting to wonder if that’s the model. Hire influential HS coaches in talent rich areas and help them land a better job quickly. Bring in the next crop. Therefore we maximize their influence in those areas and we build a rep as a place that will give you quick pay increases.

I still can’t believe Micah Kreikemeier is still on the roster.

None of them have left for better jobs though, I could be mistaken tho.

Do we know where any have landed?

Could be a couple things… might be out of shape and is struggling to keep up. Also might not be used to the amount of accountability that a Matt Rhule program requires. I highly doubt it was like this at Florida. I wouldn’t worry too much at this point. Had some older guys like this last year and completely turned them around.

I don’t. I just don’t recall a single one of them leaving with another job lined up right away. Typically you would see a guy thank N and Rhule via Twitter for everything and also announce their next destination and possibly new title. Seems like all of them were basically pushed out. Again, I don’t know anything factual. The only one left that kind of fits the HS profile (not a coach though) is Dr Elza. Based on Rhule’s public comments he seems to be happy with her.

Of all the guys that left, Phil Simpson is the one that surprises me the most based on results, especially recently.

Yea, just surprising he would come here given that you’d have thought he would know what Rhule was about after last year when he almost ended up here.

Dwight Bootle is our defacto southern Florida recruiter now.
