Bye bye Butler
- Thread starter 4.6.3
- Start date
Not the coach I expected to see fired. Nor the one who needs to be.
Not that I loved the defense this year. But this seems weird unless he has one hell of a candidate lined up.

Nobody has told the Cleti to actually watch his lack of development, and his squad disappears during games.
Jim Leonard is the first one Rhule should contact
Where was wilson? He should have predicted this yesterday
Dittman will say he did call it. He said that "There will be firings on Monday." But if there hadn't been he would have said: "They had a heart to heart and came to an agreement." You have to always say stuff that could be interpreted as you being correct. Lololol watching Dittman is like watching Mountain Monsters funniest show ever.

Would be a good hire, but there's no way he comes here.
He is going to have his pick of NFL DC gigs after this year with the way he has Denver's secondary playing.
This is a confusing development. The team was short on talent on both sides, but the offense definitely had more star power than the defense. Raiola and Johnson are arguably the most talented we’ve had in those positions in at least a decade. Yet Butler lead the defense to a 23rd national ranking, while the offense finished 79th.
There must be more to the story, because it just doesn’t make sense otherwise.
Didn't he turn down Clemson to stay in the NFL?
To me that communicates he likes NFL better.
Ahh I hadn't heard that. If that's what he prefers that's fine. Even better we could have hired in for DC in 2022 for the 2023 season and gotten a lot of Wisconsin players to come here too.
Rob Dvoracek? He has a pretty good resume the last three years. This was undoubtedly his units least impressive year which I chalk up the DC. https://huskers.com/staff/rob-dvoracek
You are correct, but hear is my opinion I think butler didn’t listen to his assistants or overrode them. He’s the common denominator poor d line and linebacker player. Javin had a really good season in 24 this year he was out of position most of the time the defensive backs especially the last two games were at best lost. I believe butler was to much nfl mindset and refused to adjust and listen to his assistants
To me watching Wilson is like listening to fingernails on a chalkboard
I’ve said from day one that the blame for poor performance lies with coordinators and not totally with the position coaches. They have to coach their guys the way their boss wants and have little input to schemes.
For the love of god Rhule please do not hire someone as an experiment for DC. This is not a place to learn on the job.
Jim Knowles is probably looking for work. Just throwing that out there...
The main thing I didn't like about Butler was his playcalling... gave up too many third downs because of a poor coverage call. It is possible to get better though, especially after 1 season. I think this is a "saving his own ***" play by Rhule, even though it still makes his decision-making look poor because he shouldn't have been hired in the first place if he wasn't the right guy.
His scheme proved to not be effective to be in the Big 10. He can stop the pass but not the run. It’s never gonna work
Knowles would look at the cupboard and immediately give Rhule a “no thanks”
Mark my words Rhule will leave this program in far worse shape than Riley or Frost.
erm you're forgetting that rhule went 11-3 one time and also only lost to ohio state by 4 one time
The reason he only lost by 4 to OSU was because he had two key players of the Frost era, Ty and Nash.
woah woah i'm gonna have to ask you to go back to the Iowa board for inciting hatred against our beloved program
mr. dittman is ok at talking bout NU football every day and providing info
but it does take discernment watching cause he goes off on a limb sometimes.
this nick marsh sounds good
His scheme couldn't stop the run OR the pass. Don't fool yourself, that pass defense ranking was a mirage because anytime an offense wanted to pass they found easy completions and big gains.
Texas Tech DC has the most expensive DL in the country courtesy of TTU alum oil money.
Hurts to say, but we cant buy a roster like he has to work with.
No Justin Wilcox but including actively employed coaches is crazy work too
