Unbridled Enthusiasm: Off-season staff change speculation

[Blakejc]

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.

Thats fair, but I’m skeptical of the system he might run. Bills pass defense was good, but they sacrificed the run to do it. Lots of 2 high safety and never getting out of it. Seems Bo Pelini-esque. We’ve seen it work with elite DL, but we’ve also seen it fail miserably.

I’m not talking about being the DC. Haven’t looked into that. But if White stays or goes, Butler at DBs coach is fine with me next year.

Here’s where things stand at the moment. Build your staff for 2025. Either what you want to happen or what you think will happen or both.

OC - Holgorsen
QB - Thomas
OL - Raiola
RB - Barthel
WR - McGuire
TE - Satt

DC -
DL -
LB - Dvoracek
DB - Butler

ST - Foley

I haven't kept up with him, but Sean Snyder was a hot name for ST coordinator for a minute, and some smoke in the Riley/Frost years he'd have come here if offered, IIRC. He was hired at Okie State this year, but with their season going south, maybe he'd be available to pick up.

 

[Herbie]

Ok ok ok my brothers.

Say White goes to FSU but pays to keep Knighton. Butler goes back to the nfl. McGuire, Barthel, Satt and Thomas all get fired. Also the st guy get reassigned or goes into cardiac arrest.

What do we want as our dream?
OC/QB - Dana
RB/RGC - Stan Drayton
WR- Jammar Mozze
TE - ?
OL - Donnovan Riaola

DC - Dave Merritt
DL - Terrence Knighton
LB - Rob Dvoracek
CB - ?
S/ST - Donald D’Alesio

 

[stonesak]

Holgerson started as a WR coach right? I think he keeps McGuire and helps him develop.

I’d add in Lonnie Galloway as WR/PGC, maybe give Josh Martin another shot at TE, find a big name DC, and make Dave Merritt DB/PGC.

About a week later, things are starting to take shape a little bit.

OC - Holgorsen
QB - Thomas
OL - Raiola
RB - Barthel
WR - Shorts
TE - Satt

DC - (Symons/Arnett/Other?)
DL - (Kiffin?)
LB - Dvoracek
OLB/Edge - Simpson
DB - Butler

ST - Foley

I feel like we’ll know DL and/or DC before the bowl game. I also feel (hope) we can still see some movement at other positions (QB, RB, ST) but that may not happen until after the bowl game because a) we need someone to coach those positions for the bowl practices, and b) in the cases or Foley and Barthel their contracts expire on Dec 31 so we’ll be able to make a clean break.

By the way, who is coaching the DL right now in bowl prep? I assume Knighton had some GA who has taken over?

I will not get excited about the future while our ST is still the worst in the nation

Maybe McGuire’s dad will give him a job

Great call @SolichFan1987

 

[Herbie]

Has anyone figured out exactly what Glenn Thomas does or what he will do year.
He has to be the quietest 800k/year coach ever. Does he even live in Lincoln?

What do you mean? What would you have him doing?

Does he coach? Is he AI? Does he recruit? Can he talk? Has anyone ever seen a picture of him?

Big day today. All the current openings have been filled and here’s where we stand:

HC - Rhule

AHC - Snow

OC - Holgorsen
QB - Thomas
OL - Raiola
WR - Shorts
RB - Barthel
TE - Satt

DC - Butler
DL - Bradden
LB - Dvoracek
OLB/Edge - Simpson
DB - Butler/Snow?? Other??

ST - Foley

I still think we’ll see a decent amount of shuffling after the bowl game. Foley reassigned, new ST coach, upgrading at RB, Satt moving on, Thomas moving on and Holgorsen taking QBs, a new DB coach…I feel like any or all of those are distinct possibilities.
