Coaching upgrades at Nebraska -- and recruiting questions

The news flew a bit under the radar this week, but the NCAA Division I Council lifted limits on coaching staff size for football. It's a big deal at Nebraska, where Matt Rhule has stockpiled both experience and promising youth among his analysts and quality control assistants. Now, they can coach on the field. It's overdue. How will the Huskers benefit? Also, EA Sports is back to give us content with its list of the best offenses and defenses. Nebraska is nowhere to be found here, but Colorado and Iowa found various spots. And we finish the week with a look at the Huskers' 2025 recruiting efforts. Are they still on track after a June that's set to end without as much big news as we may have anticipated?

Tapu said his uncle was a coach in Corvallis, then later committed where his heart was.

Run the Damn Ball .. Let's go!

[@DionPryor-sv1qj]

You think they brought in the nations number 1 passing qb here to run the ball ? 😂😂😂

[@maximusaurelius610]

Hire a recruits dad so they sign with a team

[@kmbob33]

Hell yeah sports brother! Even their moms could be analists too.

[@DionPryor-sv1qj]

Yes hire 30 dads and pay them enough to make their kids come. 😂

[@Lukuigi]

That’s a great thumbnail, no matter what the Nebraska Cornhuskers endure as a program. There’s some staples that you will always see, Ron Brown is one of those staples.

[@allensaunders449]

When will all college team's just tell the NCAA to go away you have no power here. We will form a new organization bye

[@hotdangers]

The NCAA is all of the colleges teams. It isn’t some outside bureaucracy made up of lawyers who have no affiliation to the schools. The power the NCAA has is granted to them by their member institutions. That’s like asking when all of the football teams will succeed from the NFL. The NFL is just the structure that binds them.

[@stephencostello3174]

EA sports Offense and defensive rankings were trash. No bearing on reality. I dont even care if Nebraska's in it or not. Just expect reality

[@jakekivett235]

Yeah I wasn't expecting EA to rank Nebraska in the top 25 of anything. That being said, many of the other teams listed in those EA lists don't deserve to be there either.

[@moonbot7613]

👍🏻 Hopefully their “rankings” turn into a curse

[@jesusrivera743]

@@moonbot7613 what’s a moonbot sounds like a curse.
