New Defensive Coordinator Speculation Thread

[Alcaus]

Feels like Butler was a try-out for the DC position when Tony left.

Either Butler is the DC or we're looking for a new DB coach as well. Just my gut. Don't think Butler likes being passed over.

Is Dave Aranda getting fired?

No. 8-4 shouldn’t anyways.

Ryan Walters was recently let go from Purdue. He would be a good fit (I assume he doesn’t have a decades long hatred of our program/state).

I can live with him being unhappy.

He's an obvious choice - not sure why nobody has talked about him.

I’m kind of surprised his name isn’t being mentioned more. Seems like a great fit

Who cares if Butler likes being passed over. His position group had communications issues and broken coverages all season, yet he thinks he deserves to be the DC? I'm okay if we flip the coaching staff this off season.

Guys let’s try to go after Bill Belichick. He runs a pro style defense so should be a good fit.

Also if rumors are to be believed, friction between him and TW was a factor in TW moving on. Not a great sign if you’re looking to move him up to DC.

If White and Knighton are both gone, might as well burn it down and start fresh. Assuming Rhule will keep Dvoracek though.

@Dr.DrakeRamoray (I know it's a joke, but I still want to tag you on all of the future Walters' talk)

 

[Fargo Husker]

Why speculate? It’s Butler. I’m joking but I’m not.

I’m going on the assumption it will be Butler until proven otherwise.

 

[Herbie]

Have we kicked the tires on Nick Saban yet

I’m operating under the assumption he goes back to the nfl
Is that cracker even recruiting.

 

[HerbRedman]

We need more posts saying we should go after Walters. And then more posts saying 'but he hates Nebraska with the heat of 1000 fires'

 

[Flabio]

Him, Saban, Harbaugh, Ryan Walters or bust

He held onto one DB in this class but didn’t add anyone. He has no recruiting connections as he’s been in the NFL so there’s that. Having said that Coop getting the boot was a surprise and at a bad time to find a quality assistant.

Who cares? Maybe recruits. I think he’s been a good NFL position coach. Don’t believe he’s the best DC candidate available.

Either Butler is the guy or we can add DB coach to the board.
