Are you worried about the loss, or do you trust in Matt Rhule??
At first I was, but the fact that we got someone really good this quick makes me think that Rhule and staff knew Cooper was going to resign. Or there was at least the chance that he would.
I must admit I was worried as well, the Nebraska curse. But when the replacement was named so quickly it made me realized they knew what was going on. Supposed relations with a track athlete or intern. Maybe Rhule and new AD just have a no bs policy and want to make sure drama doesn’t cloud the teams success.
Not worried. NFL coach. I don’t like NFL head coaches. However, do you remember Joe Brady at LSU??
Both of our worst position groups on offense and defense have had both coaches resign - completely on Rhule for lack of judgment
upgrade at the coaching position but still strange that cooper resigned
The fact they already hired someone, tells me they were prepared for it
Facts
Fired for sexual harassment!
@@shybone6833 don’t see a link to that
Well-managed teams constantly update lists of players and coaches that are available or could be available just in case, say, all 3 of your OLBs wind up on the injured list or your DB coach has to resign in a hurry.
Yeah and ya think the local media people didn't get wind of this? C'mon. So they are nothing more than a mouthpiece for the University Athletic Dept. As if none of them know "WHY" Cooper was probably FORCED to resign. You don't resign a 700k a year job where you have a 2 year guaranteed deal, so 1.4 million, if ya didn't do something unforgivable. The rumor, from a reliable source, is that he had trouble keeping it in his pants with recruits moms.
Matt Rhule born in my hometown , New York City and his playbook is way ahead of the game. Nebraska football is so fortunate to have him. GBR
Sad to see Cooper go, hopefully he gets whatever happened figured out since he’s a great coach, it’ll be interesting to see if anything changes but I have a feeling everything will stay pretty similar. This defense will be just fine
Agreed! They’ll have a solid replacement for him
Spot on! Personal reasons always means something bad, something illegal or a moral issue. With the quick fill, Rhule had some preparation time.
👀
What i think is, Connor you are the best at what you do! Your presentation, your spot on opinions, you obviously know your stuff and relay it effortlessly to your audience. Im a big fan! we are lucky to have you as a Husker fan and its only a matter of time before a bigger platform swoops you up just like S Sipple made the move from the LJS. Keep up the great work and thanks.
Haha I’m just glad we all have a place to come and talk. My dream was to have a bunch of Nebraska fans I could be friends with and this is where it happened! Thanks for the support 🌽
Videos like this are why I love your content Connor. Your in-depth knowledge really illuminates the stories you cover. I had no idea that Cooper was likely to be Tony's replacement when he leaves, but the insights you have about Butler really eases my worries. GBR!
Bro that last bit of comments you made about not even flinching is spot on. Matt Rhule has brought a peace to all Huskers and not only have the players bought in, but the greatest fan base in the world has also. Can’t wait for UTEP!!!
I’m just so happy that Yrev Albert’s left. Been waiting for that since the day he walked in the door. Thanks for putting a smile on my face!!!! And I think this new hire is a huge bonus. Definitely a Blessing in disguise. GBR!!!!! 🌽
Hard to speculate too much because it's so brand new, but he's gone now, and apparently Rhule was at least able to flex it in real time. Shows leadership we NEVER got under Wonder Boy. Will miss the recruiting aspect under Cooper, but Butler looks more than qualified on paper. Time will tell. GBR.
Def over qualified, hope it comes to fruition!
Trust it! The best sign in all of this imo is that we don't know what happened! There is enough maturity and respect in the room to part ways. Something happened that we don't know about. It'll be fine.
People know what happened!
@@shybone6833 What happened then?
@@Hskr4life fired for sexual harassment
@@shybone6833 Source?
@@Hskr4lifelol like I’m gonna give you a source and compromise their integrity…duh all this stuff happens off the record. It doesn’t get discussed in the media if you were smart enough if you’d understand that!
Thanks for always doing such a good job calming me/us down Conner. GBR 🌽 Very surprised at first but not too much after your explanation.
Doing my best to decode the drama! GBR
I trust the process
Your content keeps getting better Connor. Thanks. I didn't think for even a second that Busch would be the hire. That would signify that Rhule is having to make an unplanned move. This feels planned. Fresh turnover at key positions like this can ignite a staff. I love the move. Rhule is continuing to show why he is the right guy to be in charge of our program. GBR.
Thanks Bradley! GBR
Nebraska is easily THE most prestigious coaching job in the USA. Not all coaches can handle the pressure. Skers’ easily winning 12 games this year regardless.
Hard to argue, the pressure’s intense right now
Valid arguments!! Butler as potential DC in waiting gives me a ton of hope. Great video 🎉
Yeah I was surprised to see Evan Cooper go but what's new if you're in Nebraska fan better be ready for drama cuz at 50 I've seen a lot of it and it just keeps coming. GBR🎉
Let's not forget Bill Callahan head coached the raiders that got destroyed in the superbowl, then a few years later was head coach of the huskers, I'm not saying butler won't be good for nebraska, but to say I'm excited to have a former nfl DB coach would be a lie, I'm excited for this year, I think the huskers will have a great season GBR!!!!
Ruhle's not a one trick pony. You can bet he's got plan B for every situation. He is a man of details and process. Listening to Butler on UTUBE he's the same way. Coach has got this. He's staying at NE and he's not going to let anything derail him from his quest for a Natty. GBR❤ GBRUHLE❤!
Truth Judy GRB!
Rhule knew for awhile Cooper couldn't keep it in his pants, but now he did the unforgivable, and banged a recruit's mother.
I think one of Rhule’s only mistakes so far, is not retaining Bill Busch on the staff in some form. He has 25+ years experience coaching and is from Nebraska. Just doesn’t make sense to me why he isn’t on the staff in some form or fashion.
Great video as always Connor! GBR! 🌽
There’s a reason, who knows what it is 🤷🏼♂️ thanks for bein here!
I hope Coop and his family are safe and healthy. GBR!!!
I believe it was truly personal. I also believe Coach Rhule knew this and had someone lined up.
Glad Rhule has so many connections to set things in motion
I almost texted you yesterday like wtf?!?? lol patience is a virtue
Your assessment of the situation is spot on. But until the ink dries on the contract - we still are missing a coach. I'll feel better when I hear it's a done deal.
Hypothetically, if Butler does get the job and is indeed in line to replace Coach White, does he have any experience with the 3-3-5? Or do you think that matters?
Much love to him and go do you coach
Change is the only constant. Nothing stays the same…. GBR!!!
💯💯💯
I'm sorry, but the DB's were the weak link of the defense last year. I don't think it's a big loss, might temporarily hurt recruiting, but we'll be alright
That being said, you're by far the best video creator covering Nebraska. Keep this up man, you're going places
I still think they got better over the course of the season! The start was unacceptable though. I appreciate the support!
Love the pick up! I really doubt rhule was gonna go after Busch!
I agree with you I'm not surprised that something like this happened. Nowadays you can't get through a season without some kind of drama. It's the new normal!
Hopefully Butler can effectively run the 3-3-5, because it's been working.
I love this hire!
Nebraska is the only team in the big ten that’s in absolute zero debt 🔥🙏
Rhule contingency plans are in place for a reason.. trust in the process
Just like Saban. Plug n coach.
Good point!
I think the D will be fine under Tony White’s leadership, and John Butler is obviously a great hire. I too expect Tony White to land a HC job after the season, although my hope would be that he’s choosy, and would stay another year if he wasn’t excited about the opportunities presented to him.
That leads to my one misgiving about Butler, Connor, and your prediction that he could slide right into the DC job in Lincoln-the 3-3-5. The blown assignments and players way out of position on Nebraska’s defense that we experienced repeatedly in the recent past appeared to have been fixed. White’s defense offered so many alignments that opposing offenses struggled to break the code. I always assumed that when Tony White departed that an acolyte of the 3-3-5 on staff, like Cooper, would be promoted. The Husker defense doesn’t need to learn a new defense again…right?
With the way college football is becoming more like the Pros getting coaches with NFL experience will be key for recruiting. I was really bummed when I heard Cooper was leaving, but like you said this feels like there was some prior communication and Rhule seized the opportunity to preserve the future of the defense.
Matt Rhule has shown he will not let anyone stand in the way of taking Nebraska back to the top. Evan Copper is Matt Rhules best friend. He has to be hurting. Getting John Butler proves he is not going to fail.I love Bill Busch. That said, kids today want to be coached up by someone with NFL experience. John Butler has that in spades. Not to mention big B1G experiences. Losing Copper sucks. All around. Getting Butler was a masterstroke. All ❗️❗️ Time to work. Let's Gooooo GBR
Love how Matt Rhule has taken the helm. I'm getting drunk on some Rhule Aid this year. GO BIG RED NNNN
Yall we dont need to be worried the BEST frickin College football program in Georgia has multiple players every cycle getting arrested for speeding or duis. No program on the planet is perfect and we cannot expect everyone to stay perfectly still change always will happen, it is about rebounding and getting better as a result, which I hope happened here...
Hell yea
These big Power 5 programs are like soap operas. The Days of Our Lives with a football.
Would think he should be able to recruit elite DBs with his resume ...so you want to play in the NFL I can help with that.
again Rhule shows C.E.O excellence by hiring a real quality replacement in John Butler who9 is a " top 5 " NFL Coach. The very, very best to Evan Cooper......he will be missed.
Rhule hitting home runs
I feel like we have our next Tom Osborne. That’s hard for me to say but I truly feel this is our man. Out of all the coaches we’ve had since Tom, Matt is leaps and bounds ahead of all of them. Matt’s the Mercedes and all the others were Yugos. If we can keep him, Nebraska will be among the elite again
GBR!!
Loved what coach Cooper was doing but coach Butler can grow to his potential relatively quick and pursue his dreams as well. Coop may not have wanted the DC role amongst something we don’t know about yet. GO BIG RED and please let’s not lose anymore anyone, please!🎈🎈🎈
Gary Sharpe said that they’ve been looking for a replacement since Tuesday
Yep, so 4 day turn around
That’s pretty damn quick !
GBR!
A former NFL DB coach can help recruiting. I agree the fact that this happened so soon after Cooper's resignation makes me think it was planned
definitely planned!
Great video man! any chance you'll bring your merch shop back?
I’m not sure if I’ll do any new merch this year cause it’s REALLY time consuming for me and not worth having a fulfillment company do it since I don’t have a big enough buying audience. I just sell some of the old stuff in DMs
@@CornCrazed Oh gotcha, well I love the channel man! keep up the great work! GBR
Cooper be thinking with the wrong head
GBR
you know, with the speed this guy was hired, this had to be in the works. Maybe Evan wasn't cutting the mustard or this new guy was a real get and he sacrificed Evan Cooper...but I don't think it happened that way. I think its because of recruiting. Evan was supposed to be a real force in recruiting and was responsible for a lot in that area. I don't know if anyone has noticed, but our class isn't anything to write home to mom about. Only 3, 4 stars and no Blue Chippers. Plus they've missed out on a lot of guys recently, even if they are reaching a bit. Rhule needs a really good season on the field, THEN he'll be able to capitalize on the Dylan Raiola recruitment and the winning season and put together a higher ranked class. But I don't think he would throw his long time assistant under the bus just for an NFL D backs coach, so it must have been performance related somehow, in either the position group coaching or recruiting.
Personal reasons is usually something off field. He’s been coaching with Rhule for 11 years. It wasn’t because of performance
Well-run D1 teams maintain and update lists of candidates that are or could be available to replace any player or coach, just like NFL teams do.
MR 27 Seconds is what he said he is known for! Beware ladies! We have s quik squriter here! loll. And he lives with his Mommie!
Liked, comment, and shared!
❤️🌽🏴☠️
Cooper's resignation surprised me, but didnt concern me. I would have been fine with them hiring either Busch or Butler, but I think Butler is probably the better hire. His résumé is strong and he's younger.
Good job on the video…good luck
Appreciate the support!
unfortunate to see Coach Cooper go, but it appears there are options..... John Butler appears to be a great fit, now and in the future. If things work out promotion to DC when Tony White leaves.... Then bring in Bill Bush to back fill..... thanks for another well calculated and informative show..... sure enjoy watching.
you gotta buy in! thats what matt rhule says.... '' you gotta buy in''
Huge upgrade by any metric
The only thing I'm curious about is how good our new defensive backs coach is at recruiting. Hopefully he does well.
Fwiw I've read that Butler was tremendously popular with his players at Buffalo. And I know Rhule prioritizes recruiting so I think we'll be ok. Recruits likely knew about this move for a while, too.
That’s a great sign 💪🏼
@jakekivett235 Well he can tell recruits he knows what it takes to play in NFL and he can get them there. Should be easy sell with his record 😊
All the way to Wahoo Go Big Red!!!
HUGE STATEMENT BY RHULE!
My friend I believe you made an error. His year at DC was 2013 not 2012 (DB coach only) which was when they were ranked 16th in scoring D. The defense did slip a little bit in 2013 and ranked 51st with him as a DC.
Nice catch, doesn’t change my opinion on him any, but just more to prove since he hasn’t done much yet! (If it gets to that point)
@@CornCrazed That's true it's hard to take much from that year regardless since it was still in the middle of the Penn State scandal.
Will miss Coop. Damn fine coach. Hope the rumors aren’t true but it’s certainly an offense that could explain such a rapid resignation / new hire.
It's pretty simple - there is a standard (i.e., a Tradition of Excellence) and Evan Cooper couldn't meet it so essentially he resigned (i.e., fired) himself.
Hope it doesn’t hurt recruiting or lead to decommitments in 24-25 classes ….
How many of our current commits and targets was Cooper the main guy? I know the one recruit delayed his announcement.
Great question
Great video
Thanks for bein here Ryan
He brought in someone who can eventually replace Tony White when the time comes. Talk about failing forward.
Right, strategic planning
So what are the rumors? I’m definitely curious but I’m confident in Rhule. He’s the real deal and will build this program with the right people
I’ve seen rumors about infidelity with former psych coach and volleyball player. So who knows!!??
Dang, I loved that guy...
:/ I liked him too
@@CornCrazed Who on the Nebraska staff was going to be the heir apparent to Tony White when he left. I’m a little confused.
Connor, please talk to your collab friend Wilson Dittman before he gets in trouble and gets sued for being in such a hurry to be the first with breaking news. Re: “Terrance Knighton Fired” video from yesterday. He posted a defamatory video and then deleted it shortly after without explanation. . He’s young and dumb. Please educate him. He doesn’t need to be canceled, but he needs to learn and learn quickly. Thank you Connor
I have no connection with that person in any way
Could’ve sworn I saw him on your channel recently. If not then please accept my apologies. That was a real shit storm yesterday. Unnecessary. We all have PTSD from 24 years of shit shows. Peace!
Cornhusker Juan 😂
I don't really like that guy and don't watch him anymore.
He was a great evaluator but our secondary was the weakest link on the defense last year. They were not very good against decent offenses
I thought they got better as the season went on. Minnesota and Colorado were rough performances by the secondary forsure
@@CornCrazed Michigan state and Maryland both beat us with the pass. They probably did improve but was still the weakest link
@Muzikskavenger Considering Maryland’s offense, I was actually impressed with the D that day. MSU broke Nebraska on 15+ yard plays that day. I agree with you that they were the weak point, I just think they progressed over the season since they were miserably bad Week 1 & 2
@@CornCrazed that’s fair, our offense never helped them all season so it might have looked worse at times than it actually was
@Muzikskavenger I think a lot of it has to do with morale. Think about how defeated those guys must have felt after the turnovers in plus territory (CU game for example) it was like the offense was kicking them in the face over and over until they broke lol
A 12 hour replacement…They knew this was happening. Wonder if he was being investigated? This is crazy.
Who knows 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
What’s NExt?
I always thought BB was not very good as a coach. Decent recruiting assistant tho.
He probably was pissed Rhule made them do a female flag football camp ....wtf
Wishing Cooper well… I like the new hire and Bill Bush is someone I never felt good about. Never met the man but I always got the impression he was shady/integrity issues, just imo. #GBR
Did he leave because of the same thing solich had to leave for?
What are you insinuating lmao
@@CornCrazed that we’ve lost another good one over some internal weirdness.
@@CornCrazedinfidelity with someone on staff or female athlete
Probably will never know the truth. Media is controlled very well here in Lincoln. Been living here 17 years and have had 4 family members play for Nebraska and several friends. Hope they do well however the politics is strong there.
I think keeping the dirt under the rug is for the best. I know how this shit goes and people don’t need the details lol
Legit think this was a drama free personal reason. Looks like he held off until they had a replacement in place. Don't think there is any drama here.
#HereForTheAlgorithm #GoBigRed #FuckTexasAlways :01
Hope so!
@@CornCrazed it wasn’t a resignation
@@shybone6833 It doesn't smell like one. More like you can quit or you get fired.
@@dashcammer4322 which means you got fired!
@@shybone6833 Exactly.
Well DUI, messing with cheerleaders, in appropriate behavior, domestic violence, alcohol etc. I hope not. But walking away from $700K makes one wonder. On a big time stage your can't stray into those areas because everyone is watching your every move. I wonder what happened to Frost and most of us are aware of the Mel Tucker firing.
I just think Frost was in over his head and wasn’t ready to manage an operation this big. He hadn’t ever taken on a challenge as big as Neb
I'd love to see the results of a Scott Frost drug test
I’d be very confident in a drug test lol. I think he’s more of a drinker
@@kmbob33 I think a Creatinine test for kidney function might be the one he'd do poorly on. "Well Mr. Frost, you have excellent kidney function for a 94 year old man....the problem is that you're only 49".
Something that happened that does not include being booked into jail, no police called to his home. But it was enough to be an embarrassment to plan a smooth exit and a new hire without much fanfare. I won’t spill the beans, but the incident(s) fit the description.
How u gonna say that and not spill the beans 😂
SAY HIS NAME AND HE REBUILDS, I BELIEVE IN MATT RHULE *CLAP CLAP* I BELIEVE IN MATT RHULE, 'CAUSE THEY LOVE HIM IN PHILLY AND WACO AND LINCOLN I BELIEVE IN MATT RHULE, WAVE YOUR HANDS FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND SAY I BELIEVE IN MATT RHULE
CLAP CLAP
Terrence Knighton fired too
You had me worried for a sec lmao
What defense will he run 3-3-5 or the 4-3
Tony white is the defensive coordinator. The new guy is a defensive backs coach. White determines what defense they run
@@lawrenceversaw-oy8fc They will run the 3-3-5 as long as TW is the DC. If Butler becomes the DC it may change. Who knows.
I like this potential dback replacement! Was totally surprised by Cooper resigning!
Can he recruit?
I hope he can haha
Evan Cooper is a loss, but getting John Butler I think is an upgrade. Future DC? Maybe?
Yeah that's likely. Butler has been public about his desire to be a DC. I think he fills in for White when he gets a HC job
What a change of events right lmao
@@CornCrazed for real. Connor, will you be making CFB 25 videos or streams?
Unexpected that's for sure.
A surprise to be sure but a welcome one
I would guess he was given a choice resign and keep some money or get fired and lose everything. It's a shame, I thought he was a really good coach.
IF what they are saying is true, this guy leaving is a good thing. What a immoral creep!
People say all kinds of things. I’ve had lies spoken about me by hurt women, so I don’t listen to any nonsense out there until there’s evidence of it. Rumors spread quick and tons are just made up lol, but who knows
@@CornCrazed Yeah well let's look at it... They knew all week he was going to resign, and you don't resign a 2-year 700k a year contract due to "health issues." So they drop the resignation on the Friday after THE 4th at 4pm, and then almost IMMEDIATELY have a replacement... . So the narrative isn't "Why did he resign," but "Oh wow! We got Butler now!" So it was something they are trying to sweep under the rug ASAP. It is just sort of an insult to our intelligence. It isn't something "good." If it were a "falling out" he would have let himself get fired to keep his money and benefits for 2 years.
My concern is that we will lose players that he recruited.
I think they’re committing to the Rhule vision more so
Affair with volleyball player Harper Murray… oh man shiet is crazy
Heeeell nah. Is that seriously what ppl are saying?
She's a hottie!!
Even if he did I don’t get why it’s a big deal. Two consenting adults can do what they want
@@nevermindme8922 it would be a big deal because he's married for one, plus it's a school employee messing with a student. She's also dating Heinrich so it's not a good look for a married coach to be messing with the QBs girlfriend. Not exactly good for the team dynamics...
I don't think this is the case though.
@nevermindme8922 it's an ethics issue... use your head...
Trust Matt Rhule
Bottom line is simple....if our huskers dont beat colorado in our 2nd game the season is already a bust and over....i know u wont agree corny cause you think every year we got a shot to win 7 games which is hilarious but not the point.....your point is u would be over the moon excited over making a toilet bown game smh....i could care less about a toilet bowl game as we used to make a good bowl every year until the great fall lmao...so a bowl game is zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......and a loss to colorado this season is a wrap!...have to beat a zero defense colorado team....unfortunately a zero defense team colorado beat our zero offensive team last season....lets see how far our offense has come in one year lol
You live in fantasy land lol. I’ve said multiple times that winning 6 games would be a disappointment, so at this point you just create your own story about what I believe 🤷🏼♂️
Also, there’s a world where they lose to Colorado, improve since the offense will have a true freshman QB who gets better as the season goes on and wins more games down the back stretch.
As a Penn State fan, Butler is one of the worst coaches we've ever had. Certainly the worst coordinator.
He was there following one of the biggest scandal’s in CFB history, I’ll take it with a grain of salt haha
Hmmm, could personal reasons mean a loss of confidence in Matt rhules leadership? At least we still have Tony White. Defense was spot on last year. It was the turnovers and traditionally poor head coaching calls of Matt Rhule that lost us games last year. Minesotta, Wisconsin, Michigan St and Maryland were all losses due to bad coaching calls.
Will him and TW butt heads? Hope not...
I don’t see a reason why they would haha
coach clown rhule already got spokes falling off the wheel.....😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
Won’t skip a beat, as he has already replaced Cooper with the future DC. Ruhle is playing chess while most players checkers only looking at the current move
@@CDAFishboy yah just like the clown played chess last season too right lmao....this clown coach will be gone either after this seasons disaster or next....dependin on how soft nebraska is on him
Dam fool ! Tell us why .
Hope it doesn’t hurt recruiting or lead to decommitments in 24-25 classes ….
