The latest Monday Night Therapy opens with Minnie and Fred joking about their unusual background, wrestling belts, and Nebraska’s perpetual “pre-season championship” optimism. Conversation quickly shifts
to major staff changes: the firing of offensive line coach Donovan Raiola and the swift hiring of Georgia Tech’s Geep Wade. Minnie and Fred highlight Wade’s impressive résumé, especially Georgia Tech surrendering only nine sacks in three years, and discuss how his aggressive, physical line play could dramatically improve protection for Nebraska’s quarterbacks.
The two also address defensive coordinator changes. With John Butler gone, new DC Rob Aurich is joining the transition team ahead of the bowl game. His history of quickly improving defenses gives them cautious optimism.
Roster news dominates much of the discussion—transfer portal chatter, fears about Dylan Raiola’s injury timeline, and speculation about his future. The hosts debate the challenges of bowl opt-outs across college football and preview Nebraska’s Las Vegas Bowl matchup against No. 15 Utah, acknowledging the Utes’ strong run game but noting that Nebraska’s unpredictability may be an advantage.
Greg later joins the show, adding insights about next year’s schedule, recruiting updates, and more bowl-season drama. The episode ends with humor, playful teasing, and renewed—if cautious—Husker optimism.
