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 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.
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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
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 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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
Not all, but most Husker fans act like entitled brats because of the amazing history Nebraska has. Most fan bases would love to have that. But the way a lot of the fan base acts is a complete embarrassment. I feel bad for the good Husker fans out there. No wonder nobody wants to stick around. Pelini was one of the better coaches out there and that wasn’t good enough. Now look at the mess that is going on in Lincoln. Hope Rhule figures it out, but nothing will ever be good enough for this fan base.
It seems the mid field prayer is completely within our control to stop the controversy and stop doing it, yet we still do it. 100% completely within our own control, so if we don't like the backlash it's our own fault.
Yeah this doesn’t even come onto the list of things i care about if the other team doesn’t like it fuck um we arnt in the business of making friends that soft mindset is what started this mess in the first place even Osborne knew you had to have a woman beater or two on the team
@@bada4714 is that all you got, 2 people, and you want to say Osborne got "wife beaters" How about fuck off. I thought what I said didn't even hit your list so why continue.
@@bada4714 you got 2 people to prove your Osborne likes wife beaters comment. Wow, what a dumb-f. I thought my comment didnt even hit your list so how about you f-off now!
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
It’s a sinking ship, dead men walking….…respect to Tony and the DL coach for not being dumb enough to walk the plank. Rhule will win 3-5 next year and catch the axe along with the rest remaining. Rinse and repeat. Only 4 coaches could amass a winning record at Nebraska and the last one was fired 10 years ago winning 74% of them. The curse is real…. Fire and disrespect BOTH of Tom Osborne’s handpicked HC’s and think you won’t catch a curse? Or hex? Or string of bad luck …???….things are just starting for the greatest fans in all of college football!!!!! Look no further than Nebraska politics to see why the football team has moved aside for volleyball lololol…and why it will never compete at a high level again. **If you hire career .500 coaches , don’t be surprised when that’s all you get.
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.
New OC and DC The walk was a non-issue The handshake was a bad look on UNL The prayer was a bad look on UI, a response to UNL vs. USC behavior My question would have Coach Osborne approved of the no handshake? I am Hawkeye Fan, but I respect Coach T.O.
No one cares about the handshake. Iowa has repeatedly disrespected Nebraska over the last 10 years. Taunting and last game midfield security antics. Give it a rest and go follow your own team. I've never once watched an Iowa channel and can't figure out why Iowa's so obsessed with Nebraska.
Nebraska can do their public display of religious beliefs anywhere on the field it was disrespectful to demand to do it in the center of the field and then act like children and not shake hands T.O. was never about big public displays of prayer.
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.
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
Just shows how bad a job Rhule is doing. He didn't hire a good OC when he came in but overpaid the OC he did hire because it was one of his friends. Now we have to start over with a new OC. Now we learn that Rhule couldn't keep White happy so now our best coach is gone to FSU and we have to start over there now too.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Good luck Tony White. For new DC i like in house our line backers coach or what about ryan waltels? Failed as a hc but sure had good defenses as a coordinator.
Coaches come and go, so I'm not concerned with White leaving for another program...Also, we can't forget that EVERY TEAM in the FBS has to get down to a 105 man roster...there is going to be a ton of talent in the xfer portal from every single program so hopefully, Rhule can get some great players.
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.
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?
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!"
Adam, I figured Tony would probably go somewhere else to be a head coach. Fine. I did not think he would go laterally to another team to be a DC. Frustrating!
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?
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!
Jim Leonard would be my first choice
Ndamukong Suh for defensive line coach, get that killer instinct.
ABSOLUTELY YES YES YES

Wohoo!! We know Adam will not leave Nebraska!!
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

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.
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.
New OC and DC
The walk was a non-issue
The handshake was a bad look on UNL
The prayer was a bad look on UI, a response to UNL vs. USC behavior
My question would have Coach Osborne approved of the no handshake?
I am Hawkeye Fan, but I respect Coach T.O.
No one cares about the handshake. Iowa has repeatedly disrespected Nebraska over the last 10 years. Taunting and last game midfield security antics. Give it a rest and go follow your own team. I've never once watched an Iowa channel and can't figure out why Iowa's so obsessed with Nebraska.
@@jaydencrowley2994 thank you
Nebraska can do their public display of religious beliefs anywhere on the field it was disrespectful to demand to do it in the center of the field and then act like children and not shake hands
T.O. was never about big public displays of prayer.
(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?
Adam, do you have an update on this because everything I’ve read so far has Tony already gone.
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 was never going to stay and who cares. The d was weak all year despite a few quarters of competant play.
Pay the money to keep him!
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
Keep Tony, Let Butler Go.
100%
Hope Tony stays
Everything I’ve read says he’s already gone.
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
Get Bill Busch back in here for DC or ST
Respectfully, Wake me up when Rhule enters the portal. Thanks.
🤡
White is about one of my favorite coaches. I fear that him leaving is a symptom of something wrong behind the scenes.
Just shows how bad a job Rhule is doing. He didn't hire a good OC when he came in but overpaid the OC he did hire because it was one of his friends. Now we have to start over with a new OC. Now we learn that Rhule couldn't keep White happy so now our best coach is gone to FSU and we have to start over there now too.
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.
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.
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
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
I gotta take the "over", Adam ... I'm counting Holg, but before fall camp next season, 3 more departures shouldn't be surprising.
Portal right around the corner.
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.
Im just frustrated.. its part of the game.. We will be just fine !
Adam “Let me know in the comments below” Carriker
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.
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?
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.
Suh or Carriker for dc
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.
Good luck Tony White. For new DC i like in house our line backers coach or what about ryan waltels? Failed as a hc but sure had good defenses as a coordinator.
Yesterday my answer would have been different. After this morning's rumors,
I'm goung with the Over for the NU coaches leaving.
We all knew he wouldn't stay long term
Coaches come and go, so I'm not concerned with White leaving for another program...Also, we can't forget that EVERY TEAM in the FBS has to get down to a 105 man roster...there is going to be a ton of talent in the xfer portal from every single program so hopefully, Rhule can get some great players.
I think Matt Rhule would like to see a 4-5 defense. Maybe better for big 10
Tony is getting off the sinking ship.
I don’t even want to process this… yup he’s staying.
Please stay Tony! Pleeeeaasse!!!
100% hope so!!
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.
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?
Colorado and Iowa only. Assholes
Who cares his 3-3-5 don't work in Big 10
Its a Flex 3-3-5 scheme.
3-3-5 sucks
Bring in Suh for DC and hire Incognito for some role. Bring back that killer instinct you were talking about last video.
2 guys with zero coaching experience. One of which is completely insane. Great idea.
@jackieatteberry5968 I'm glad you agree
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!"
According to SI T Knight is supposed to follow White to FSU...either way i wish them all the best if they go.
Would you ever coach the dline or become the DC??? Is coaching in your list of things you desires?
I'd be surprised if White left for a currently lesser program in a weaker conference for anything other than a head coach position
He gone. It's official
@StonedMeadowOfDoom 🙉 sorry didn't catch that
Going from one bad team to another
why are we letting white leave in a lateral move?
Adam, I figured Tony would probably go somewhere else to be a head coach. Fine. I did not think he would go laterally to another team to be a DC. Frustrating!
