New DC

[SouthLincoln Husker]

I'm cool with Butler as new DC, esp with current players giving him props.  He also got flowers from the NFL, so it is encouraging that he knows a thing or two.

I'm mostly interested in seeing what he does to put his own stamp on the defense.  Is he more physical than White?  Does he dial up more pressure?  How does he attack 3rd downs when we struggled in that area a lot?  Can he make halftime adjustments?

Me too! I looked at Buffalo def. & they play both 3 & 4 fronts with blitzing LB or S.  They also play a lot of zone with multiple sets.  I'm guessing more aggressive than White.

Huh? My comment was about the graphic that hooked on huskers does. It’s missing coaches.

For me, if I think I’ll know all I need to just by seeing how our team (Esp secondary) tackles.

Butler now making $1M.  Set to get $1.1M in 2026.  Was making $700k as Secondary Coach.

White was making $1.6M.

Tangentially related.

Twice in the last four days on Denver sports radio they’ve talked about there being a little smoke that VJ is gone and Jim Leonhard is the DC in waiting. In one report they even said Leonhard was getting some calls to interview as DC other places and shut those calls down causing more speculation about things in Denver.

I mention it bc some people here wanted him as DC but I don’t think he was ever interested or realistic candidate.
