In this story:

The Common Fans break down all the latest Husker news:

  • Defensive coordinator Tony White officially leaving for the same role at Florida State.
  • Will defensive line coach Terrance Knighton follow him there?
  • Dana Holgorsen locked in as offensive coordinator with a two-year contract.
  • Garret McGuire out (but still w/the program), Daikiel Shorts in as WR coach. 
  • Huskers losing major contributors to the transfer portal.
  • What to make of the coach and player carousel?
  • This is college football in 2024. While unsettling for fans, it’s as easy as it’s ever been to replace top coaches and players with other top coaches and players. 
  • Let the dust settle before losing your mind about the latest news.
  • There will certainly be more to come. 

Plus, the Common Fans discuss bowl game possibilities and national signing day:

  • Nashville, New York, Phoenix, Charlotte? Which bowl game will the Huskers end up in?
  • Is it better to have a bigger name, higher quality opponent, or a lesser one the Huskers would be more likely to beat? 
  • Recruiting: Huskers currently sit at the #20 class in the country according to Rivals, and the #22 class according to 247. 
  • Some big names still out there with the potential to land at Nebraska. 

This and so much more on the latest episode of the Common Fan Podcast.
