Past interview with John Butler

[MtnHusker]

Seems like a good dude who will fit in well with Rhule and how he coaches. Straight shooter that cares about the players. Stole this video from Dean's board.

so is he our DC after White moves on?

Just like players, I don't think Rhule will guarantee anything, but it sure puts him in a good spot to get the job. I think he will get the job, hopefully for the 2026 season. Be nice to keep White for 1 more season and ingrain Butler for over a full calendar year.

I wonder if it was obvious there is a path to be a DC here or if Butler didn't think he'd sit out a year before finding a gig and wants to stay active

Probably a bit of both. Listening to the interview, I think learning under Rhule for a bit might be a part of it.

From the interview, I think he is going to fit in very well. Once again fit is important and fit isn't about a coach's alma matter.
