Breaking John Butler DC

[Baron Winnebago]

I heard Butler was slumming in the streets giving bj’s for stock tips in south buffalo when we found him

Anything for an edge, imo

Yeah they did a drunken photo shoot with a TPB hat on one fateful night.

It won’t matter one bit who our DC is or who our position coaches are unless we add a ton to DL and LB talent to our roster.

The hope should be can out NIL step up, do these position coaches resonate with the players, and will real talent be attracted to our 6-6 outcome this year?

Jimmies and Joes before Xs and Os.

I think it’s perfectly normal to express some healthy skepticism. And we can surely debate Butler’s bonafides. But some people on here are throwing toddler level tantrums over this when the truth is, none of us know if this will work or not. Seems ridiculous to throw a snot slinging fit over something and claim it to already be a failure when you literally have no clue what the outcome will be.

Oh I agree.

I didn’t explain my point from your post very well…

When you said “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.”

My point was everything about football message boards is pouring emotion into fandom and it affects the program exactly 0% on the field.

All the arguing and pontificating and speculating means absolutely nothing towards making the team better or worse.

It’s all great fun tho!

Deep. Florida. Ties.

How deep?

(Oh, no. Oh, god this thread is getting gay isn't it?)

So these ties? Are they like really tight?

(You need help. You're one more post away from going to a pride parade wearing nothing but an Adrian Martinez jersey and lip gloss)

I doubt that the secondary coach cut him.

well you know what i mean

 

[Carm]

they worked together for several months before the Texans cut him

 

[vailhusker]

Looks like the defense theme will be NFL guys with Florida connections. It would be nice to get someone with some Texass ties on staff too but beggars can't be choosers.

Fyi I copied this to the coaching change nugs thread as well

FYI, I also got a cryptic message from someone that is tied in saying that the DB coach would be someone that had played for the Dolphins. If true, looks like the FAU guy. He played for them in 2016.
