DC?
- Thread starter dinglefritz
- Start date
We could hire Mike Vrabel to be our DC and some people would complain.
Does Vince know that? Seems like he just got to Lincoln for his interview with us.
Interviewed apparently doesn’t mean offered
Everybody wants to be first without any consequences for being wrong.
who?
Lmao it really would be hilarious. Prince was talking him up big time on Rhule’s podcast
If Kehres really chose Syracuse over us, that is embarrassing
Maybe he played us never intended to take Nebraska seriously but got a few extra incentives in his contract
If it is not the Toledo guy I doubt a DC has been selected so soon. Sounds like @Cruel Halo is full of ****
The gentleman that provided me with the info is legit. I incorrectly assumed there would be more info coming out by now. Oh well.
If it is @Cruel Halo would be correct. That would be underwhelming. I love EK. But the Dc needs to be right
If its Ekler, Rhule should be fired for incompetence. Ekler has very little experience as a defensive coordinator, and the last time was almost 10 years ago. He was the co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Indiana in 2011 and 2012 and the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at North Texas in 2016. That's it.

It cannot be a hire from within. There needs to be fundamental change at that coaching position
Maybe he figures Fran Brown will get fired next year and he'll have a chance to take over as head coach? There's no way Syracuse can offer more money than we can, and Syracuse was even worse than we were this year and their coach's seat is hotter. I hope this means we have someone better in mind, if not this is quite disappointing.
He turned Rhule down after flying to Lincoln and listening to the conditions of his hire.
How do you know this? Which means you know nothing just speculating
The beat us out for two recruits in the 2026 class, so they have something over us.
It was reported on X --he did infact have the interview and he turned down the offer--he did infact hear the conditions of his hiring for the position of DC.
I don't know if he is going to have a choice. He just got turned down by a DC from a MAC team.
of course he has a choice--he can chose numerous aspects that will make the position more attractive to good candidates--1st dont insist on a certain type of D scheme. more flexibility with position coaches brought in and more........
No doubt about that. In previous lives, some of the posters on here complained when the Giants hired Tom Landry and Vince Lombardi to be their coordinators.
It's gotta be a wow hire. This is 21st century Nebraska football now. Style points matter.
well it wont be his 1st choice --that part has been settled---it would be wise for high profile coaching and AD searches to have a simple NDA. c'mon its not that complicated.
You seriously do not know that
Rhule haters are gonna make the DC opening out to look like a Penn State type debacle if they all pull together and try hard enough.
That’s what I heard to. Kehres wanted to bring in his own DB coach Rhule told him no.
Rhule just isn’t cut out for CFB in the NIL era.
Kind of a weird postion. Db coach seems like a good coach and recruiter. OLB coach is a great recruiter. No major complaints about Dvoracek. Leery of the DL coach. Most legit DC's want at least a guy or 2 of their choosing.
