I believe that is why he was hired...MR knew TW would be gone very soon and wanted someone in house who knew the team and it would be a plug & play situation. I don't think he would've taken the job if he wasn't 'promised' the DC position if TW left.
Tony White leaving Nebraska for the same position at FSU implies White thinks FSU is a better fit for him but that does not mean every coach thinks that. Although, it is alarming that White thinks FSU (at rock bottom and starting over) is a better place for him than year three at Nebraska with Matt Rhule & Company. Regardless, best of luck to Tony White if he moves on and thank you for doing a great job at NU!
There wasn't much doubt White would be gone after this season with the interviews he had last season. Didn't expect a lateral move though. I hope whoever we hire comes up with a plan to stop the passing game and be more consistent stopping 3rd and long.

@@jordansocha6932fsu isn’t down as bad as you think they are lol. Terrible season absolutely but fsu is the better job. More resources and better talent pool. Hell they are a better brand consistently. Nebraska has zero relevance since god knows when.
I don't see anything wrong on praying in the middle of the field. It is open to both sides. It feels good to me to see it being a Christian. I did not hear about the Matt Rhule issue.
My thoughts on the Huskers vs Hawkeyes pregame nontroversy... No, Matt Rhule did nothing wrong by walking around the field. No, there's nothing disrespectful about having a pregame prayer at mid-field on the logo. Yes, if Iowa put security out there to stop the prayer from being on their logo, that is petty. Yes, it was poor sportsmanship to not shake hands at the coin toss. If that was a response to the pregame nonsense from the Hawkeyes, I believe a better way to get even would have been to live well, shake hands, and win the game. The more I see about this handshake thing and Rhule taking a walk around the field before the game, the more it sounds like a whole lot of projection... Like the guy that's a jerk trying to jump all over anything anyone else does to say "See! They're a jerk too! So I'm not really that big a jerk after all!"
I hear Rhule’s defensive consultant and Butler are both problems with White and others, e.g. T Knight. I don’t like seeing the coaching staff seemingly in turmoil. I accepted that Nebraska could lose Tony White to a HC job; leaving for another DC job is something that shouldn’t happen.
It's time for the 3-3-5 experiment to go away. Charlie McBride went from the 5-3 defensive front to the 4-4 and it worked. The biggest reason it did was recruiting speed and tenacity with fundamentally sound tackling and coverage. Recruiting the right players and coaching them up was fundamental to their success in the nineties. The key word here is coaching. GBR!
Last year’s lack of turnover by coaches and players is the last time that will happen anywhere. We have to get used to some players leaving for the portal every year.
Nebraska fans were asked to accept Tony White and the 3-3-5. We weren't completely sold on it, but because Tony explained some of his ideas and is a good person, we decided to give it a chance. To believe in Tony and go with it. Illinois gashes the defense. We heard what Tony said, and we said "ok." USC takes our defense and laughs as they run through the holes in our defense. We heard what Tony had to say. So we looked deep down and continued to have faith. The defensive secondary forgot how to tackle during the Indiana and Iowa games. Here we are saying, "Tony is still a good coach. Look at our numbers against poor teams." Leaving is how our faith is repaid? Perhaps the illusion is finally over.
LET'S CALL IT LIKE IT IS -- White and Knighton leaving here presents a great opportunity for both them and Nebraska. Good luck to those two men and the players going early into the portal. SOME OF THE PLAYERS leaving early are key components of our defense on a 6 win team. Would they show up on Alabama's, Oregon's or the Texas roster-- ?-- they'd get lost in the shuffle. WHITE"S DEFENSE HERE couldn't get off the field in key moments -- lost 13 of 24 games in 2 years. To the fans who think we can do no better than White and the results we've watched in 2 years aren't watching the same games I saw. I credit Rhule with making changes and moving forward until we get the results we need-- at least he's not sitting on his hands and looking at the sky like the last 2 guys.
Hey Adam, Iowa fan and general big 10 fan here. I hope Tony stays at Nebraska because that defense was really starting to become a familiar identity and honestly they were becoming a force. I’d like to see stability for Nebraska I really would brother. They deserve it. I hope Dana stays and gets to implement his system with his guys. I hope Tony stays and continues to build on his foundation. Ok so the hand shake thing I already commented on earlier, I wish everyone would have shaked hands but I don’t know the full story. Concerning the Matt Rhule walk through during Iowa’s warmups…I saw the video….lol I’m with you Adam I have zero clue what he did that was so wrong. I even saw him point and smile at someone during it so he seemed to be jovial and in good spirits. I don’t know what the deal is maybe there’s more to it but it looked innocent. Anyways, I’m sad to see the Iowa/Nebraska game not being played on Black Friday next year what’s up with that? But hey best of wishes in Nebraska’s bowl game I’ll be rooting for them, I always root big 10 in bowl games and playoffs. God bless!
@ Lol I don’t believe in hating on other fanbases and I have family that lives in Nebraska. I’ve always respected you guys you have the most loyal fanbase, the best stadium and the absolute most stunning facilities in the country, I’m very envious! I love my Hawkeyes but grand things are coming to Lincoln I can feel it!
The secondary has been terrible. White never fixed that. Not even close. I have no problem with saying, "See ya" to White. I am done with excepting almost good enough. Half a good defense is not a good defense. Also done with the oh no, who are we gonna get now doomsday mentality. Dude wants to go, let him go. Go get someone better, period.
Tony White's defense was on and off this year resulting in a mediocre team. Everyone had a good year to learn it and a lot of schools have exposed it. Not surprised he's leaving but a move to another DC position was surprising
I enjoyed the coverage as a husker fan. I’m not crazy about losing our defensive coordinator. They have been top 25 recruiting off the radar the last couple years so finishing in the top 20 in defense the last two years I would call that mediocrity especially when you have all juniors and seniors this year. He inherited it a lot And was there for two years. It’s probably a win-win for both parties cause we expect better. We want a top 10 defense not mediocrity so as far as I’m concerned, good riddance.
Tony White did an OUTSTANDING JOB!!! The issue was we lacked complementary offensive AND special teams play. The only reason were are 6-6 IS the DEFENSE! THe reason why we’re not 10-2 is our lack of Offense & Special Teams. We wish Tony White well and that 3-3-5 WORKS! Look at Iowa!!!
Dan Jackson from Idaho for D coordinator. Only a matter of time until he gets to this level as a coordinator. Look at his performance against Oregon this year. Plus knows how to recruit the area.
Rhule needs a quick but good dc coordinator. So White don’t poach our recruits. The whole Noles staff will be retained after next season. What a bad move.
White left because he did his job for 2 years and didn't get help from the offense. Florida St is easier to build faster with a higher rate of success.
Tony White and he Prevent Defense is a HC killer. It shouldn't be a secret that Matt Rhules has been talked to about getting this team fixed NOW not in his usual time frame and it's about time the AD puts his mark on this team
That he might leave for FSU is not a really surprise, was a candidate for head coaching jobs last year and in today’s portal world anything is possible including coaches. I hate to see him go but as fans we need to get used to coaching and player carousel’s, the days of coaching staff longevity and loyalty is gone. I hope he doesn’t leave and take Knighton or players with him but entirely possible. Not the college football we grew up with and won with.
A head coaching job I would understand but this is a lateral step that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense unless there is something internally in the program that we don’t know about who knows I guess time will tell
@@Huskerkid16 why do you think it has to be something internal in our program? Maybe he likes the thrill of turning around a program. All teams have issues, in today’s college football this will now be the norm, not the exception. I would not be a bit surprised if he goes to FSU, he will be paid close to $2M, which isn’t a bad lateral move!! FSU was what, 12-1 or something like that in 23, almost a playoff participant and 1-11 this year, so the internal problems so they definitely have internal issues, new DC, Gus Malzon, fired from UCF, their new OC. Plus, all the athletes in FL, recruiting will be much easier than it is for him at NE and in a much easier conference, ACC. Be happy for him, he did a good job while with The Huskers and wasn’t going to be long term in Lincoln!
@ yea I could be wrong. Those are good points. Just hear some rumors of Rhule and White butting heads and stuff but who knows if that’s true. It’s just a bummer wanted him for atleast one more year with the Holgerson hire but oh well I wish him the best!
If we're lucky will have Dana H. continuing to be our OC from a previoous HC position and who ever the best replacement is for DC that runs 335. Last thing we need right now is reinventing the wheel at defense should Tony unfortunately leave. Regents better pony up the freakin dough to keep Tony and Dana both.
Where there is smoke, there is usually fire. I hope that the situation changes in our favor. Wilson Dittman reports that Rhule and White have butted heads during the course of the season. How much truth there is to that I don't know.
Before the season started, I saw it coming that Tony White might leave for a HC job or something. I definitely didn’t see it coming that he would take a different DC job. Oh well. Matt Rhule made the right DC hire once already, I’m sure he’ll do it again.
I was reading Terry Pettit - he pointed out that "two BIG teams and two ACC will meet conference foes in the semifinals of the Final Four and in three of the Regional Finals" - how stupid of the seeding.
Tony is gone. Matt didn't do anything wrong. Iowa just looking for reasons to hate on us. Not a fan of the refusal to do the handshake before the game. Just be the better sportsmen.
I don’t understand what the deal is with Nebraska’s pre-game prayer. It seems like there have been several instances where opposing teams have gotten increasingly hostile about this prayer. Why is this blowing up so much?
Matt Rhule walking around the field it appeared no one had an issue with it. Everyone now days is trying to stir the pot to create controversy, No Big Deal! The hand shake was a message saying that was BS for messing with our prayer moment. That's it get over yourself. Now coaches, I hope we can keep a great coach, but maybe we can get a another great coach who is also a great recruiter. We need to look at the glass as half full not half empty. As far as kids going in the portal we need to replace them with better players with more production. We just got to do better then everyone else. Work harder and do better to get back to the National spot light. GBR!!!
They can do their public display of religious beliefs anywhere on the field, it was disrespectful to demand to do it on Iowa's center field logo and then act very non-christian like by not shaking hands. Shows that the team has No adult leadership.
Give Dana a 3-year contract and try to keep Tony. He’s clearly a good coach. Players need to take accountability for our losses too. If Tony goes, UNL needs to be prepared to spend some money to get someone good. Rhule can’t take another mediocre year
Also would not be surprised if Rhule has that person and let him know. Good yes, great? Watch the Indiana game, the Illinois game, the USC game. Like him but he isn't great
Chip Kelly gave up a fortune to be OC. He's already rich getting older doesn't like recruiting. I'm glad player's are getting paid and have freedom of movement. Coaches get paid and leave programs constantly
The Husker defense had some serious flaws that good opponents were able to exploit extensively, so I'm not really all that hurt to see Tony White go. I would like to keep the D-line coach, but he'll probably leave with White. Hopefully, we can find better replacements that will build defenses geared for our opponents in the Big 10 while also being adaptable enough to handle non-conference opponents.
No to Snow. Hell no. If Holgorsen and White aren't here for next year, toss out Rhule as well. The experiment is failing. I think a lateral move by White speaks volumes. Something isn't right in the Rhule regime. We should be talking about a new Special Teams coach, but here we are.
Easiest path to get to a bowl game in years and they barely made it. Systemic fundamental problems that are repeated the entire season. You can keep your head in the sand, but that's on you.
I've been a Husker fan my whole life (I'm 71). I've come to the conclusion that Nebraska isn't Nebraska anymore. It has become so difficult to follow this team. I was all in on Matt Rhule. Shame on me, being a Panther fan thinking it wouldn't be any different than it was with the Panthers.
I thought he would leave for a head coaching job. FSU must’ve offered him some serious money for a DC job. There’s nowhere to go at FSU but up. I hope coach White doesn’t feel it wasn’t gonna happen at Nebraska .
How bout the DB coach brought in when Evan Cooper stepped down, could they bring Coop Back. White is gone, Holgersen should be if he doesnt go back to WV. Iowa overreacted about everything. They needed it to get inspired!
He’ll probably leave because with Robinson and Hutchmacher leaving the defense will probably take a step back next year. That will cause his stock to drop so he might as well cash out now.
I see why he wants to leave. He took the D from one of the worse to Top 25 D for 2 to 3 years now. Being in some to overlook ur coaching would ruffle my feathers if I thought I should be a head coach somewhere. Or he knows he needs another team to show how good he is to get a head coaching job.
John Butler has also been mentioned in the past as a potential Defensive Coordinator. Thoughts? Our secondary has struggled. CarrikerChronicles.com
No
I believe that is why he was hired...MR knew TW would be gone very soon and wanted someone in house who knew the team and it would be a plug & play situation. I don't think he would've taken the job if he wasn't 'promised' the DC position if TW left.
Ryan Walters was fired by Purdue today & also Jim Leonhard is available! Thoughts?

He'd be throw'n the bones while saying I!!!
Lol....put down the hippie lettuce
I just saw a bumper sticker that says, "Be kind humans." Respect and thank Tony White for his expertise and super good person.
@@pegsmith1110 totally agree, he deserves nothing but a big thank you and best wishes from all Husker fans!
There wasn't much doubt White would be gone after this season with the interviews he had last season. Didn't expect a lateral move though. I hope whoever we hire comes up with a plan to stop the passing game and be more consistent stopping 3rd and long.
Why are so many people all the sudden hating on Tony? Do yall realize we likely wouldn’t be bowl eligible if it weren’t for him

We gave up 56 to Indiana, 31 to Illinois, 27 to UCLA, 25 to Wisc., 28 to USC... it's OK, we'll get a better DC.
Time for Coach Carriker!
He is what has helped us get closer to being what he want to be.

I heard the same thing. Now Terrance and White are apparently attached together. It used to be Terrance was a Rhule guy

There is no loyalty anymore. How is Nebraska ever going to build a great program when people leave.
They aren't. They didn't play enough young players this season.
Life in Nebraska is not all it’s made out to be.
Last year’s lack of turnover by coaches and players is the last time that will happen anywhere. We have to get used to some players leaving for the portal every year.

What about a rehabilitation project on defense. Pat Fitzgerald??
Who cares if he leaves. This season proved that his gimmicky defense doesn't work against good teams.

Not completely upset. Defenses tend to get old,and film study exposes their weaknesses. Rhule will find a replacement.
Not let us having our prayer group before the game was a slap in the face to all Christians

Tony white is going back to the ACC because the Big 10 is to tough for him.
It's too tough for Nebraska too
It’s all about the Benjamins
Tony was never going to stay and who cares. The d was weak all year despite a few quarters of competant play.
I have nothing but respect for Tony White. I believe that if he leaves he has without a doubt earned whatever job he does.
Before the season started, I saw it coming that Tony White might leave for a HC job or something. I definitely didn’t see it coming that he would take a different DC job. Oh well. Matt Rhule made the right DC hire once already, I’m sure he’ll do it again.
DO NOT LET RHULE HIRE A "BUDDY"! Hire the best rated damn DC you can Nebraska. Show you are serious about growing our program back to revelence.

I think it was this cold snap that made the decision. I know that I myself walked out in this, and I wished I was in Florida.
as a fsu fan living in Nebraska, I’m sorry y’all don’t deserve this
His defense struggles against RPOs and running QBs. Hope you don’t play against teams like that.

They can do their public display of religious beliefs anywhere on the field, it was disrespectful to demand to do it on Iowa's center field logo and then act very non-christian like by not shaking hands. Shows that the team has No adult leadership.
Give Dana a 3-year contract and try to keep Tony. He’s clearly a good coach. Players need to take accountability for our losses too.
If Tony goes, UNL needs to be prepared to spend some money to get someone good. Rhule can’t take another mediocre year
Also would not be surprised if Rhule has that person and let him know. Good yes, great? Watch the Indiana game, the Illinois game, the USC game. Like him but he isn't great
this sucks, We need someone good. Leaving for fsu is just sad
SMU just starting to get over the death penalty in college football
White No
Dana yes
Rhule did nothing wrong
Fine with not shaking hands after not letting us pray center field. What kind of sinister crud is that?
Would Bill Busch be considered for and interested in a coaching position?
Maybe special teams. NOT DC
Bill busch took over when chinander was fired and did a fine job considering the circumstances.
I think coach Busch is tired of being let go as a husker coach.
Chip Kelly gave up a fortune to be OC. He's already rich getting older doesn't like recruiting. I'm glad player's are getting paid and have freedom of movement. Coaches get paid and leave programs constantly
The Husker defense had some serious flaws that good opponents were able to exploit extensively, so I'm not really all that hurt to see Tony White go. I would like to keep the D-line coach, but he'll probably leave with White. Hopefully, we can find better replacements that will build defenses geared for our opponents in the Big 10 while also being adaptable enough to handle non-conference opponents.
(If White leaves)I hope Bill Bucsh will be the new DC and also hope the 3-3-5 is gone. GBR 🌽
That might be the dumbest thing I've heard all day
@NOCOHusker Back at you, read not heard. What's wrong with Bill Bucsh and/or what do you love about the 3-3-5 so much?
No to Snow. Hell no.
If Holgorsen and White aren't here for next year, toss out Rhule as well. The experiment is failing. I think a lateral move by White speaks volumes. Something isn't right in the Rhule regime.
We should be talking about a new Special Teams coach, but here we are.
Extreme much? Jesus
he is the only coach in recent years to get to bowl eligibility. seems pretty good to keep him in my opinion for now.
So a bowl game for the first time in 8 years is a disaster? Good Lord people calm down.
The lateral move by white is an easy resume builder for a guy trying to get an hc job 🤣😂🤣😂 mental breakdown much?
Easiest path to get to a bowl game in years and they barely made it. Systemic fundamental problems that are repeated the entire season. You can keep your head in the sand, but that's on you.
There has to be more to this. Something must have happened in the offices. Having said that, meh. Wasn’t super impressed this year tbh.
Hi Adam, I probably missed your repiry on Women's Basketball? 13:47 Are they still rated #25? Thank you! GBR!
Report
Now people are saying Terrance Knighton is leaving to FSU too???!?
Keep Tony, Let Butler Go.
100%
Why ? Please explain.
TW wants a head coach role and it's easier to play defense in the ACC. Pretty easy.
I've been a Husker fan my whole life (I'm 71). I've come to the conclusion that Nebraska isn't Nebraska anymore. It has become so difficult to follow this team. I was all in on Matt Rhule. Shame on me, being a Panther fan thinking it wouldn't be any different than it was with the Panthers.
Terrible timing with signing day coming up.
I thought he would leave for a head coaching job. FSU must’ve offered him some serious money for a DC job. There’s nowhere to go at FSU but up. I hope coach White doesn’t feel it wasn’t gonna happen at Nebraska .
Hope Tony stays
Everything I’ve read says he’s already gone.
Adam, do you have an update on this because everything I’ve read so far has Tony already gone.
Adam “Let me know in the comments below” Carriker
Get Bill Busch back in here for DC or ST
Unless it’s money, why FSU. Best of luck if he goes. Seems like a lateral or lower move. I want Satt and McGuire to leave.
FSU is a far superior program than Nebraska One year doesn't make a program
Far superior program at FSU
How bout the DB coach brought in when Evan Cooper stepped down, could they bring Coop Back. White is gone, Holgersen should be if he doesnt go back to WV. Iowa overreacted about everything. They needed it to get inspired!
Adam for DC
I thought he would leave for a head coaching job. FSU must’ve offered him some serious money for a DC job
He was good....but not real good
Coaches don't want to have to be accountable every week. Coaching here isn't easy.
yea, fans are ridiculous. Who would want to coach in such an environment?
So he goes to FLORIDA STATE to avoid criticism?
@@Levi-tm4glFlorida State fans are even crazier
@@HuskerMeltdowns welcome to coaching at any blue blood in the era of social media.
@@HuskerMeltdownsYou do know we're pretty mellow in comparison to other programs right?
He’ll probably leave because with Robinson and Hutchmacher leaving the defense will probably take a step back next year. That will cause his stock to drop so he might as well cash out now.
100% hope so!!
The players aren't the only ones trying to boost their bottom l ine, not to mention beaches over frozen fields
Tallahassee isn’t anywhere near a beach
Who cares his 3-3-5 don't work in Big 10
Its a Flex 3-3-5 scheme.
3-3-5 sucks
Respectfully, Wake me up when Rhule enters the portal. Thanks.
🤡
Now it sounds like the defense is going with him.
I thought he would leave for a head coaching job. FSU must’ve offered him some serious money for a DC job. There’s nowhere to go at FSU but up.
I see why he wants to leave. He took the D from one of the worse to Top 25 D for 2 to 3 years now. Being in some to overlook ur coaching would ruffle my feathers if I thought I should be a head coach somewhere. Or he knows he needs another team to show how good he is to get a head coaching job.
Tony no, Dana yes.
Tony NO.... DANA YES
