It’s Day 2 in our adjustment to changes on the Nebraska football coaching staff. Offensive line coach Geep Wade and defensive coordinator Rob Aurich are in. And as we learned late last week, Emmett Johnson is out. We’re taking a few minutes in this episode to appreciate Johnson’s work with the Huskers in 2025. It will be long remembered. But did it rank among the best seasons ever by a Nebraska running back? 

On the subject of Matt Rhule’s coaching moves, how many cooks in the defensive kitchen are too many? And is the head coach set to get more involved in the defense – again – in 2026, with a young coordinator who’s coming from the G5 level? We’ve also got thoughts on the timing of Nebraska’s two coaching departures last week. Not all decisions are guided by the same principles. Join us as we discuss the latest with the Huskers.
