Breaking Nebraska is hiring Geep Wade as its O-Line Coach

[V-Doub]

Anyone know if it’s Geep or Jeep?

Heard he drives a Bronco

 

[Herbie]

So context for the name Geep:

Geep Name Meaning​

English (Devon): topographic name for someone living by a train or ditch, from Middle English gripe ‘drain, ditch’. Compare Gripper .

Americanized form of German and Dutch Griep .

So Matt Rhule hired culvert?

 

[Cornicator]

A very normal leader would let the new DC come in and realize ( and announce ) we’re keeping the DB coach, if that was their choice. Lord knows the only reason the DB is coming here is for the $. Versus announcing up front. Just a smooth brain move for a leader, undercutting them up front.

You also thought our previous handful of DB coaches were elite, dating back to the “Nadab Joseph is an Immediate 2 deep player” posts of yours.

If you think Rhule fucked up by not offering the Toledo DC, that's fine. You can think that way.

But Nebraska didn't lose a bidding war to Syracuse and Every DB coach Nebraska has had the last 5 seasons is more deserving of a job at Nebraska than the DB coach from Toledo.

I also have no clue what the hell you're talking about with respect to Nadab Joseph. He was the #2 juco player in the country when he signed so I'm sure I was excited as was everybody else.

So his name means ‘in the trenches’ love it

Of course you would think our current DB coach whose boss coached DBs in the NFL and enjoyed an absolute sieve of a run defense, where teams didn’t need to try passing is in fact Very Good. After all, he was at UCF last year and is a proven entity. Good program to gauge coaches, UCF.

We are on an absolute tear of assistant coach trial and error, I’m sure this next one is the one we need. Lesson(s) learned.

 

[Flabio]

USA Today will publish the list in a week or so for 2025 assistant pay.

FootballScoop had a list months ago & based off that - for OL coaches $750K would put him tied for 13th and 4 or 5 in the B1G.

Ah. I misread the deal and thought it was $1.5mm per year which would be crazy high. $750k per for a really good OL coach is pretty reasonable.

 

[NCsker]

I haven't seen a real answer on how his name is pronounced so I'm going to say Yeep.

Living by a ditch…. or perhaps a trench?

Looks like the perfect name for an OL coach.

Also full disclosure I think Diaco is a better DC than butler.

 

[Sous Chef]

So Matt Rhule hired culvert?

I'm going to go with Hobo

 

[Mr.Bojangles]

Someone tell us if we are happy.

Don't know until we see the results. Seems underwhelming to me though.

Rhule was making public statements about Williams staying under a new DC last week. I don’t buy that Kehres turned the job down because of that. He clearly had to know that when he came to Lincoln.

We must have decided we weren’t ready to pull the trigger on him. It is still the only explanation that fits all the facts.

 

[Chi7397]

He wanted his own db coach, Rhule said no, should have said “ok” and realized it was NIL that drove Odem here not our DB coach

You don’t think Odem would get NIL anywhere he goes? Unless you’re massively over paying, NIL is table stakes and other stuff still matters to get recruits.

Gideon Pillow Wade the 4th. What a name

That’s got to be made up.

Are his parents retarded?

Serious question.

 

[Quint]

that dude could wear the shit out of a sweater vest. I assume that's what he won the award for

I thought it was how he held the little microphone.

This is true.

As long as he has us running roughshod over the Ditch Chickens, I’m game.

One thing that has been glossed over is Geep starting right now and coaching in the bowl game. That's 5 extra practices he'll have with our current players and 15 extra opportunities to evaluate before the portal officially opens. I think that's a pretty big thing.

It’s huge.

He’ll get to evaluate real time and figure out who he needs to cycle out and what he’s really got to work with. Film can only get you so far, especially since so much of our depth doesn’t have any meaningful game film.

He's a Southerner

It is a 100% certainty he is a descendant of Confederate Major General Gideon Johnson Pillow of Tennessee
