On this episode of Monday Night Therapy, Minnie Hunt and Fred Sacco open with humor and self-inflicted shame after Nebraska's loss to Iowa, including Minnie wearing “Iowa yellow” after losing a bet. The tone quickly shifts as they address the biggest news of the week: defensive coordinator John Butler's firing following another embarrassing defensive performance, capped by Iowa scoring 40 points. The hosts agree the defense—especially the front seven—collapsed late in the season, plagued by an inexperienced and depleted defensive line that failed to stop the run. They argue Butler, though a strong defensive backs coach, may have been overmatched as a coordinator and became a necessary “fall guy” to satisfy fans and signal change. Interim coordinator Phil Snow is acknowledged as a temporary fix, not a long-term solution. Discussion expands to recruiting, NIL money, and coaching strategy, with concerns that Nebraska continues settling for second- or third-choice coaches and players while struggling to develop talent on the field. The episode closes with debate about the Iowa “rivalry,” bowl-game speculation (Arizona or Utah), frustration with past regimes, and skepticism about Matt Rhule's ability to navigate the NIL era effectively. Despite despair, the hosts cling to hope for meaningful changes heading into next season.
