Speculation on Dylan’s Future
- Thread starter Bummerbry
- Start date
I hope he sticks around so we can see improvement from lessons learned from this season.
Having said that...if he leaves he leaves. We'll be fine. Two words I wouldn't expect to see in a story about him is "NFL Draft".

Just heard it from my source he's most likely gone to Bama or Miami. He also owns his own house in Florida.

I'm not discounting your source, SUH, but this reminds me of the old coaching search days where we were getting reports of big name coaches being shown houses in Lincoln.
If Dylan does leave, Miami strikes me as the logical culprit. They've been throwing around serious NIL money the past few years.
Both Bama and Miami are offering $3 to $4 mill a piece and Bama is way closer to Daddy Raiola. So don't discount Bama. Him leaving is pretty much a done deal. Stranger things happen but he is most likely gone.
It's one of those things that I can deal with either way. On one hand, I can understand if he leaves given the 'protection' he's gotten from our OL.
On one hand, Dylan is only going to get better and it would be frustrating to see him 'turn it on' for somebody else. But it reminds me of all the hype about how amazing a center Cam Jurgens has turned out to be for the Eagles. That's all well and good--but he sure wasn't a great center for us.
Fact is, for all his hype, Raiola hasn't moved our 'wins' needle much. I've loved to see accurate passing after years of running QBs who couldn't hit the broadside of a barn. But in this age of CFB, you'd better be somebody super-special if you're not a dual-threat QB. To date, he hasn't been.
FWIW in Rhule's press conference on right now, Rhule seems a bit distracted and a bit emotional... for him. But maybe he's just tired 
But when asked about Dylan and this rumor he fumbled for words more than I'm used to seeing from him.
Not trying to read anything into it but something seemed "off".

Seen through how Rhule praises him, I suspect Dylan's legacy will be coming to an unproven, losing program, peer-recruiting his ass off and helping to right the ship. I'm not convinced that he'll develop into an NFL starter but that's immaterial to his time here.
Haarberg's legacy may end up being similar.
Dylan hasn't moved our win total not because of Dylan. His uncle is a poor OLine coach and can't develop. And only when we started to run the ball more starting with Northwestern and ending with UCLA did the OL improve because they didn't need to pass block as much. That's not a Dylan issue. He wants to get into the NFL and he isn't going to if his uncle is still here coaching the OLine.
Pin this comment for future reference. It will be interesting to see what happens after 2026.
If you get a high value QB commit, who is expected to be great, every year, they all will not stay every year in today's college football game. How many starting QBs this year were transfers from somewhere else?
I like what TJ brings. Bulk him up some, get or develop an OL and things will be just fine.
If Dylan's departure assures the program of a new Oline coach next year I think it is a net positive. Miami is the better fit if it comes down to them and Bama. Simpson still has a year remaining. The way Dylan whined that Husker fans weren't kissing his ass enough in post-game comments he would be in for a rude awakening if he rolls up into a ball and falls down when pressured at Alabama. In today's landscape of college football you have got to have a more mobile QB than what Dylan provides.
I'll have to disagree with you a bit on Dylan. In the right offense he will excel. Our current offense doesn't lend that to him. Until Rhule grows a pair he won't fore any coach. He'll just let their contract run out. Which is dumb. Just fire them and move on.
It won't matter if Dylan leaves or not. If we don't swap out the current OLine coach we won't get any better, Dylan or no Dylan.
Wonder when Donnys contract is up?
I won't say one bad thing about Dylan. He has made a lot of plays while he's been here. He's Nebraska legacy and well on his way to breaking all kinds of records here
So how about showing some love around here. That's not kissing his ass. That's just Nebraska nice. What is going on around here anyway, it's Thanksgiving after all. Time to count our blessings.
Are we turning into those typical rude and obnoxious B1G fan base or what?
Dylan has helped to recruit anybody they have asked him to and as far as I know hasn't said one negative about this program.

I've said this before- but Dylan's style of play is becoming a little behind the times in the NFL - current starters have more mobility. He's a natural talent sure, but I'm just having a hard time seeing it translate. Agreed that a porous o-line helps nobody.
I'll tell ya SUH, if Dylan is gone, we better get rid of Tio Donovan. I felt all along the only reason Donnie was retained from the previous staff was the hope of landing Dylan. As DrFum said previously, the win needle barely moved with the two of them in scarlet and creme. I think TJ brings a lot to the table. I think Dylan was more style than substance. Everyone would Ooh and Aah over his side arm delivery, but I don't think he threw a very accurate deep ball and he was a little slow finding open receivers.
Our O line coach should be gone on his lack of merits even if Dylan stays.
Without mobility, he wont even get drafted when the time comes.
Totally agree val, but I think all along Donnie's employment was tied to having Dylan here. If Dylan leaves, it makes Rhule's decision to send Don packing much easier.
