Breaking John Butler DC

[tedfordtony]

Just hard to get excited about promoting a secondary coach to DC when the secondary was absolute ass. Maybe he'll be a better DC than secondary coach, but still underwhelming. Is the not being able to find a NFL job after moving on from the Bills not a red flag anymore either?

It wasn't any different from year before

Great hire

The more I think about it I’m actually kind of fired up about Butler. I think he’ll have a chip on his shoulder to prove himself.

I think questioning the hire is reasonable, based off what we know. Rhule himself said that there was a ton of interested parties in the job. Why did he say that?

Who will they hire to coach DBs since number of coaches is irrelevant

@Irv and if we go down, we go down together…

He might suck, but this dude walked away from a legit shot at coaching a Super Bowl champion because he wanted to be a DC so bad. I don't know, it doesn't feel like a bad dude to bet to me, but maybe he will be the next Scat

Any news one LB and DB coaches?

Lotta whiners ITT. You can’t say with a straight face he’s not qualified.

GBR

VERY easy to say he's not qualified. we want an experienced D Coordinator. He's an experienced DBs coach.

Starting to see the wisdom in keeping the search quiet. Maybe should’ve held off announcing this until June.

Bury this in your 4th of July news dump that everyone misses.

They should hire a S coach and CB coach and a Rover coach

coaches everywhere

Would've liked Leonard (and maybe we get Symons if he wasn't going to be coaching in the CFB), but lol at the reaction to Butler+Snow. Michigan has done just fine hiring NFL coordinators the last couple years. Will play out on the field.

We didn't hire an NFL coordinator...that's the difference...We just hired the Eric Bienemy of coordinators. Always interviewed, never selected.

 

[djw004]

It's funny how everyone is like how can you be annoyed or under whelmed by this. It's because we consistently make the wrong hires in key places and we've done it for the better part of 2 decades for fuck sake.

It seems We're the only Blue blood that can't go out and hire proven anything. Fuck I think we're the only Blue blood program to ever be down this long as a program.

I once did a lengthy study on the length of "down time" each Blue Blood has had.

We are now #1 for longest time in the shitter.

MacDonald was an LB coach when Harbaugh made him DC. Don Martindale was bad with the Giants, but I guess he did have experience!

 

[SloppyKnockers]

This was the plan...

Any chance you are at liberty to discuss the MR and TW situation?

 

[djw004]

This is a complete 180 from what someone told me came directly from Rhule’s mouth the other day.

I'm sure you're already on it - but any chance we can see what your guy has to say about Thamel? Maybe Thamel is out of touch...for the first time ever...

 

[vailhusker]

I'll just ask again the question I asked in the hot board thread - Is he better than White? Is he an upgrade at the position?

 

[HuskerMarine]

Let’s just give it a shot guys, not like we can be much worse than we’ve been the last decade. I think Butler will do a good job.

If we’re not Top 20 total defense next season I’ll post my wife’s nudes.
