Breaking John Butler DC

[2010sarenevercomingback]

It fits just fine. My point is experience doesn’t matter anymore, which is why I’m with everyone in saying that John Butler is a flawless hire and isn’t deserving of so much ridicule. You need to get on board.

Holy strawman, batman!

Holy strawman, batman!

You’ve got me all wrong, brother. I’m with you on this one! John Butler is going to take our defense to another level. Book it.

I also don’t think having run a defense before is deterministic of being a good DC. It’s kind of like with other professions. I don’t think not having performed surgery before is deterministic of being a good surgeon. Not having fabricated steel or set power lines before isn’t deterministic of being a good blacksmith or lineman.

I guess what I’m saying is that job experience doesn’t really matter when predicting the success of doing that specific job.

It's more like having not performed that specific surgery but having performed other surgeries than it is taking me off the street to fly an airplane.

Again, I'm not saying he's a great flawless hire. I'm just saying lots of DC and very good DCs were at one point never a DC before

I'd take it a step further and say ALL DCs and very good DCs were, at one point, never a DC before. I've yet to see someone pop out of the womb, ready to coordinate a defense.

Totally! I actually see it as a strength and not a weakness that Butler hasn’t been a coordinator in 10 years. Haven’t people heard of the NFL?

This doesn't excite me. It doesn't piss me off. Snow AHC helps. Hoping for the best.

We'll see.

I’m not trying to be funny. I’m trying to get on board with Butler.

Ah hell, we're getting our own version of that FSU guy that was on the mainboard...

At this point, I'm not sure why everyone isn't doing the same. None of us has any control over this, so why pour all this butthurt emotion into it when it doesn't change a thing? The only thing it does is raise your blood pressure and annoy everyone around you. Butler is the DC—time to man up, get over it, and get on with it. It'll play out how it plays out.

No problem Herb.

Thank you. 1000%. Zero reason to be entitled little bitches. Besides Tone, I don't think anyone had Butler as their #1 choice. He is now. None of the bitching, wishing, whining, ponderment in the world is gonna change that.

This is actually me as well.

I make fun of it, but I get seduced by the hot name/flavor of the month just like everyone else. You know, when they make those lists "top HC/OC/DC candidates of the offseason". NU usually gets guys high on this list and it doesn't always work out.

I'd actually like to try it once where we don't get the #1 top DC candidate on Athlon.com. If you look at the real results like 5 yrs later, the best hires are always the guys way down those lists. Like that HC list from 2017 - all those top 5 guys are bums now.

I'm down for trying it a different way this time. Also, on Butler: if he came direct from Buffalo, people would have LOVED his resume. I feel like most peoples' problem with him is the bad DB room results from the last 3 months. I don't think it's fair to wreck his resume just due to that - I think there were other contributing factors.

I'm guessing Snow is going to be more of an analyst, but I suppose Rhule will lay all that out in a press conference in the near future. If he's an on the field coach then it makes sense that he would be the safeties coach and Nebraska brings in either a corners coach or Butler takes the corners.

Keep an eye on Addison Williams from UCF or Brandon Harris from FAU to come in and coach DBs. Both have strong recruiting connections in the state of Florida.

I want to tear this apart. I want to point out how these are all the worst examples you could choose. But maybe you helped me here, even though CERTAINLY unintentionally.

In Surgery, Blacksmithing, or Linemanning, they all operate out of a similar apprenticeship model. You go through schooling, or some form of education about the industry at hand, and before you're allowed to do it yourself, you are placed with a very experienced individual that chastises you, makes fun of you, laughs at your stupidity, all while leading the jobs you're on and showing you how stupid you are for a significant period of time.

Then - boom - before you know it, those apprentices have been Mr. Miyagi'd. They wake up one day and realize - he wasn't just chastising me, making funny of me, or laughing at me because he hated me - no, he did all those things to me as he sneakily prepared me to be a bad ass in the industry.

And, hence, the hire of Phil Snow simultaneous with JoBu. JoBu is an apprentice under a long time unioned linesman who can perform defensive surgery while fabricating fronts as a blacksmith. And soon, after several years of being made fun of and chastised, JoBu, too, will be unioned.

For the dickheads out there that want to rush my grieving process - I am speeding through acceptance and b-lining it straight for "coping".
