Unbridled Enthusiasm: Off-season staff change speculation

[Faux Sean Callahan]

Does anybody remember the $$ amount Rhule was allotted in his contract for assistant coaches? Not sure if it matters anymore with Dannen here instead of Turd, but I don’t remember and am too lazy to search for it.

I want to say it was 7/8m

It was $7 million and he spent $6.78:

Butler isn't really living up to the hype.

If I really wanted to take this thread over the top I’d say Rhule should jettison Butler off to some DC gig that he desires so badly and call Dave Merritt to tug on some heartstrings and see if he wants to come coach his son’s team for the next few years.

As far as assistants being let go, in my uninformed opinion the two to watch closely would be Barthel and Foley as both of their contracts expire at the end of the year. Uncle Donnie’s does too, but we all know he’ll sign an extension here soon.

Imagine it: Barthel moves on and is replaced by Jeff Nixon, who is just so enamored with what's going on here he's willing to give up his OC title for a recruiting coordinator title. Foley moves to an analyst type role and is replaced by LeVar Woods, who is looking to ditch the blatant racism that is the Kirk Adminstration. Maguire and Donnie thrive under Holgerson and White chooses to stick around when all coaches agree to get on the same page. Next thing you know, 12-0 season is just a warm up.

I think Butler deserves more time. Not easy coming in July to a new system, losing Tommy Hill, already had lost Blye Hill.

He probably didn’t know half his DBs names the first week of fall camp.

Most of the touchdowns we gave up this year were broken coverages.

You realize this doesn’t actually refute anything in the post you quoted, right?

Neal brown was fired from WVU.
Had spent a little with leach. Maybe he wants to be a te or wr coach

Maybe McGuire’s dad will give him a job

 

[Fargo Husker]

Let’s hypothetically assume for a moment that Butler does, in fact, replace White…who ya got for a new DB coach then?

As long of a shot as it is, I still hope Rhule would try a Hail Mary and at least float the idea past Dave Merritt in KC to see if he has any interest in coaching here while his son is on the team.

He’s trying to win

He is a UMass alumnus and that job is his for the taking if he wants it
