Maher is ST Coordinator

But with assistant coach hires, 85% of the time it’s someone we’ve never heard of. So I don’t know if us being excited upon hearing the news is a very good barometer.


That’s hogwash. We can be excited about a guys resume even if we weren’t very familiar with him.

In Maher’s case, there is nothing to be excited about because he literally has no resume.

Imagine if we hired some guy who kicked at Wake Forest and bounced back between the CFL and NFL for a while, who was the assistant to the special teams coach for one season at Wake. Would you be excited? Absolutely not.
 
Last year was his first full year coaching.

You gotta give Rhule credit. He’s not afraid to do something no one else in his position would do.
who was the 5'6 fucker from alabama that everyone loved on special teams

Its a ST job.
 
Yeah it’s super cringy, and I don’t even understand this one. Did he mean 2026 or is he saying last year was big gains?

You know somewhere between complete condemnation of this choice and overly exuberant veneration for this choice lies reality.

Dan Young had coached HS football for 6 years at Westside HS in Omaha, and a few years at some smaller schools before becoming the ST coach for Nebraska. He did pretty well, even though he went to school at UNK, which wasn't even UNK when he went there, it was Kearney State Teachers' College.

I like Brett the person, and reports since he arrived is that he is much revered by the kickers, for good reason.

im glad he got the Gig, it shows us all that if you dream big enough and work hard enough you too can be a ST Coordinator at the P2 level.

Dan Young taught me driver's ed (Never had him in math, though).
 
Guys...listen up. Everything is going to be fine. Rhule makes excellent decisions when replacing people that leave.

People were worried when White and Knighton left but Rhule stamped out those fears with the Butler and....whatever that fucking guy from the Chiefs was called. Pristine record of coaching hires.

Now let's get out there and listen to his ad reads in between segments with scuffed Bobby Bacala on the podcast.

I would assume that this amounts to railing .....
We could complain all day if that is your wont, however the impact of this will be "zippo" at this point. Don't let negativity about things we have no control over become the focus of your life.

Our special teams over the last 15 years have either been elite or extremely bad. But mostly really bad. So I’m assuming this hire will be either elite or…. Bad.

Even when we had excellent special teams, something would always go wrong. I remember the look on Bill Busch’s face after that onsides kick in Dublin.
 
My wife is also five years younger than me

Mine is 10 years younger than me... When you're young, you just think about the fact that you'll have the younger, hot wife... When you get older, you realize that managing retirement between the two of you without starting WW3 is going to be a bitch...
