Husker Dan follows the dots and comes to an interesting conclusion.
Every Husker fan I know is puzzled by Husker DC Tony White's announcement last week that he was leaving Nebraska to take a similar position at Florida State.
And why would any coach leave a bowl bound team for a 2-10 Florida State program? If FSU's head coach Mike Norvelle has another losing season next year, will he even be around? One of Butler's career goals was to be a DC again, a position he once held at Penn State. Matt Rhule doubtless told Butler that his immediate need was a secondary coach. Rhule already had a DC in Tony White. But Rhule was going to need a DC as soon as the end of the '24 eason.Because it was no secret Tony White's goal was to land a head coaching job somewhere soon. He had interviewed for a couple head coaching jobs after last season.
Matt Rhule found himself between a rock and a hard place. If he didn't act quickly, there's a very good chance Rhule and the Husker football program would lose not one, but two very good defensive coordinators.So Rhule told Tony White that he was going to have to move on. Matt Rhule, being the classy man he is, found White a DC position at another Power Four school. The program was Florida State.
