Why did we let/push Tony White out?

[ShortSideOption]

Getting beat 56-7 or whatever it was by Indiana might have been a factor

What if I told you it wasn’t Whites gameplan for that game? (Or at least entirely his)

The 3-3-5 needs a run stuffer if not 2. His defenses that were small at Syracuse were mediocre.

We don’t even play a 3-3-5 anymore

Rhule and White didn’t see eye to eye about a lot of stuff huh?

That’s interesting

I don’t want to speculate on that… but I think it’s interesting he lost his entire defensive hires besides Dvoracek after year 2 (I know the Cooper situation but still relevant).

I think White wanted to be trusted and some hires made that not the case. You can’t lose TW to a lateral move. Though I do agree even a TW defense takes a step back this year after losing the entire front 7 (they would have kept some of them if TW stayed)

Tony White was putting his name in for a lot of head coaching positions. He was looking to leave no matter what. He didn’t get any of them.

There have been rumors that he and Rhule had their differences and that may have played into his leaving. But not getting any of the head coaching opportunities may have also been a factor in his taking a lateral at Florida State. It gave him the opportunity to prove himself in another conference.

I thought Tony was a good coach. But by his second year, teams were figuring him out. He was no Charlie McBride.

Tony was putting his name out for head coaching positions in large part because Rhule wanted him gone. Rhule was actively helping him find a HC gig so they could part ways in a way that would make everything look good on the surface. Then Tony got offered the big bag to stay which-and this is strictly my opinion-made Rhule feel like Tony went behind his back and parlayed the outside interest into a bigger pay day instead of moving on like he wanted. I think Tony thought leaving NU was optional when it really wasn't.

Interesting. Had not heard that. Honestly nothing surprises me anymore though.
