It would have been an improvement for us.
Vince Kehres to Syracuse

Possibly. The fact of the matter is we need someone to bring in bigger, more physical DTs. Scheme doesn’t matter a whole lot when you’re getting manhandled at the LOS.
I mean, Cignetti brought his Sun Belt players to the B1G. Seemed to work out okay for them
Who knows why he chose Syracuse. I'm guessing it had to do more with job stability and liking Fran Brown as a coach more. My thoughts are that Rhule didn't want to give up full control of the defense, coaches, or scheme. And the money wasn't too good to refuse so Vince went to Syracuse. It also wouldn't surprise me if Vince could see that Rhule is nothing but talk and didn't care for his preaching and lack of a plan.
The longer it takes to name the DC then the more evident that Rhule was turned down by Kehres
Yes, Rhule said in so many words at the signing day PC Addison Williams WILL be here next year, so you will not have control over your personnel. And he probably told Kehres the job requires letting Snow hover around and second guessing every decision he makes, so Kehres said F this. Effective CEOs hire good talent and let them do their jobs with a minor course correction when absolutely necessary.
If true then he is an idiot. Both of those jobs are better than Syracuse DC
not many fools want to run a crappy 3man front without horses up front.
This is the state of the program. Getting turned down by a DC from the MAC. Let that sink in.
That was my thought. If so, then it’s a value judgment between DB coach and DC. Better have a backup plan for DC then, because he did have a plan for DB.
I'm sure Rhule wanted to keep some of the defensive staff because he has some core defensive players he doesn't want to lose. By letting Kehres have Carte Blanche over the defense it would set the defense back a few years in order to get it fixed and Rhule doesn't have that luxury in my opinion.
Spin? They got their guy. What do they have to spin?
their head coach is also the only currently employed Rhule head coaching disciple.
Ok, you believe what you want. You're buying the story from the salesman. The objective fact is the guy was flown here for an interview, was the only reported interview for the job and left and took a job at another school. Not to mention that Rhule himself wanted "11 to play as 1" prior to the interview and that is in the guy's X bio. Seemed like the job was his if he wanted it.You’re buying the story from the guy’s agent
Maybe he farted during the interview or interviewed as tandem with his step brother Dale Doback and Rhule decided he wasn't a good fit....lol.
McGuire at Texas Tech worked for Rhule at Baylor.
Yeah, Rhule brought him up from the high school ranks to Baylor as a lowish level position coach. He was pretty widely regarded as one of the best high school coaches in Texas and Rhule hired him for all of his high school recruiting connections throughout the state of Texas.
Yep. Great strategy using high school coaches as TE coaches. Wish he would push Satterfield out and put Mozee at TE coach.
Eh, I'd be all for pushing Satterfield out. But dedicating a spot to that at Nebraska probably doesn't have the same ROI as it did in the state of Texas.
EVERYBODY who hires a new coach wants to paint him the best light. Thats why they have SIDs. They’re PR people. You know that.
Putting a successful KC area high school coach, who seems to be an excellent recruiter, on staff would be nothing but a great move IMO.
Maybe but...
successful KC area high school coach <<<< one of the best high school coaches in Texas

That’s what I’ve been told.
Kehres wanted to bring his DB coach and Rhule said “no, we’re good there.” Kehres said, “okay, bye.”
That’s what I’ve been told.
Been told by ? Take what you hear with a grain of salt. There’s a plethora of Husker “fans” happily doing everything they can to smear Rhule.
Williams fielded a very salty passing D this season and has coordinator experience. Rhule has an OOU mentality and even though Williams had no prior experience coaching with Rhule, he is now OOU. Feel free to disagree with that approach to life, but most successful outfits I've been a part of have leaders who have OOU as part of their approach.
So if the guy thought picking his own DB coach was a deal breaker, Rhule was going to hire someone else. I get the feeling that Rhule may think he was too hands off this past season. And if that is the case, I doubt he repeats the mistake.
Letting a coordinator have carte blanche over assistants rarely ever happens. It's fan fiction, and the head coach always has the final say on what the staff looks like. I highly doubt this by itself had much of an effect with Kehres, if he was even offered the job.
