I’m sure Rusty is as trusty as you’ll find
If Rhule let Ekeler walk, I think that would be the last straw for me.
There’s no fucking way money can be an issue. We must’ve saved a fortune by exchanging ERob for the Miami (OH) guy.
If he doesn’t keep Ek, it can’t be seen as anything but a colossal personal failure.
Nebraska = Job?
I went over to the USC On3 boards out of curiosity. No mention of Ek or special teams. But what blew my mind is they are still searching for a new DC after Lynn left them for PSU. Fans are getting pretty testy over there after a three week gap from initial talk of Lynn leaving to now.
According to their staff, USC may likely wait until the end of the college football season and maybe the NFL season before making a hire. Apparently names like Pete Kwiatkowski have been considered and rejected.
Before anyone makes the joke, Ekeler hasn't been a DC since 2016 when he coordinated for North Texas.

Relax guys. Eat some supper and see what tomorrow brings.
Was he awful as a DC? He seems to have shown a lot of ability as a special teams coach
This one is critical enough that @HuskerGarrett would have to slide into Coach Rhule's DM's. Let him walk - it's over and he may not even know it.
Coach cannot be this unaware.

SORT OF UPDATE:
So it looks like there is a post on the USC 247 board that might be the source of this smoke. I don't have access to that. According to someone on the 247 Nebraska board, it's not an article saying Ekeler is interested in USC, but is apparently more of a theoretical scenario the writer is laying out. My read on that is IF SC were to fire their STC, they have a hotboard and Ek's name is on it, not necessarily because he has interest, but because he is good at his job.
This thread on Nebraska's 247 board worked for me despite me not having an account.
Here's the USC thread in question in case anyone has, or would be willing to get an account to read it.
EDIT 9:35 CT: I caved and paid for a month on their USC site to read the USC board thread linked above. It was bugging me that I was reading interpretations of the blocked thread without being able to verify what was being said.
According to the admin starting the thread, USC's front office wants to make some changes on special teams. I'm wording that intentionally. They want to make changes. They haven't yet though. Their current ST coach is still hired as of this point. Ekeler is the only one named in the thread as a "possible candidate". There are "other names" being considered, but it sounds like, according to the admins, Ek would be the guy they would like to reach out to first. But there "may be other candidates in the queue that (USC 247) hasn't heard about." They also mention he is from Nebraska, noting the local ties.
Nothing is said about mutual interest. So it still feels like a hot board that USC's front office is throwing darts at. I'll admit I would feel a bit better if they had other candidates named.
All in all, kind of a strange post for that much info on a position that has yet to be even be open.

Thanks for that. Also, I had forgotten how big of a dick “nustudent “ is
These nugs taste like shit
He’d fit in with the Eeyore crowd over here.
