tOfficial Assistant Coaches Coming and Going Thread

[oaknightshockey1]

One step further, Frost to wisconsin to apprentice HC under Alvarez then to NU when MR retires

Barry's working for us, I'm tellin' ya.

 

[Tomhusker]

i agree with that. seems like he is done with that portion of his hiring.

what i don't get is, if he's retaining any staff from Bo, why hasn't that been announced? I would have interviewed those guys the first day and tried to make a decision on that, so i could move them ahead with recruiting. I guess he could have bigger targets in mind and are waiting on them to make decisions, so i guess that would be nice if they are big name guys. I think the longer announcements take, the more likely they are coaching somewhere else, either NFL or other big name colleges. although the only big name colleges that you might not get right away are those playing for the NC, Bama, OSU, Oregon, and FSU. I'd think a coach from any other staff would make the jump now.

Maybe waiting until after the bowl game? That's what I figure. Or maybe he has not had enough time to properly evaluate everyone yet. He is kinda busy right now I'd bet.

Tom is right here Tom

He's only got this weeks end to reach out to out recruits in person, he'll have the next month to evaluate coaches and interviews before they hit the road again recruiting with all position coaches in place this time round

What if....Alvarez sent Eichorst here to fix us, and he stayed at Wisconsin to wait for the perfect opportunity to strike and sabotage the Badgers program, thus leaving his alma mater with an open road to get back to former glory?

Sounds like something I would come up with!!!

 

[Exorbitant]

Or maybe the fact that the back ups would start at almost any other school in the nation? Being a great recruiter, and/or signing great recruits, will make your coaching look a lot better than it may actually be.

Let me add this, I am not trying to downplay what has happened at tOSU this year. Incredible, however it was achieved.

I can guarantee you there is more to the story than those players just happening to all be great players at OSU. I bet TA would have looked a lot better with Urban as our coach.

What if Alvarez sent Eichorst here to sabotage Nebraska instead?

 

[Exorbitant]

I have no idea what's happening anymore. Maybe he's scared of playing Riley

I bet it's much more of a case of not wanting to tangle with Meyer again.

 

[Tomhusker]

Probably, but I am all for calling it in Huskers favor. He is running from Coach Riley.

 

[HuskerinBig10]

Book it, it is a lock

Oregon State Bruce Read Special Teams coach will be invited to join the staff.

Mike Riley said he is DEFINITELY wanting to bring over coaches from Oregon State, both Mike Riley and Shawn Eichorst GUSHED about Special Teams in the presser.

Banker hasn't had position responsibility in two years. I'm pretty sure he is gonna be the DC if comes here.

here's what I'm seeing right now:

OC - ?
DC - Mark Banker/OSU - UNCONFIRMED
OL - Mike Cavanaugh/OSU - UNCONFIRMED
RB - ?
WR/RC - Brent Brennan/OSU
DL - ?
LB - Trent Bray/OSU
DB - ?
ST - Bruce Read/OSU - UNCONFIRMED

right now, i don't really have a huge problem with it. as noted, only 1 person is confirmed.

I want to see who he gets at the positions that are left. Keep Warren at DB, and bring in Orgeron for DL, might make for a pretty good D staff. Not sure where Steele would fit in.

on O, i don't know about either guy. as others have said, Brennan seems pretty good. and we can't exactly get worse on the o-line. need to see who he finds to fill the other position coaches.

Mike Cavanaugh is joining staff as OL coach, very good OL coach but it's too bad he also coached under Riley at OSU cause -insert any OSU record here*-

We were on top of this. We had Banker, Bray, Cavanaugh, and Read. All official now.

Brent Brennan WAS still recruiting for OSU before Wednesday's announcement. I bet he was called back to Corvallis.

 

[mrwallace2ku]

Tell Riley those pens and pencils he took from OSU are school property, he has to send those back. MR pretty much gutted the Beaver football staff with more to come...he can leave our D secondary coach tho, Rod Perry...no need to get greedy here Huskers.

-------
Don't be too sure. When we lost Frazier due to injuries, his replacement wasn't really a triple option guy BUT Berringer was thoroughly schooled in the system. Fast forward to the Meyer tenure during the Tebow era. Meyer had at least 4 years to teach some of his backup QBs to be able to replace Tebow when he left...didn't happen. Actually in 4 years he didn't even recruit a Tebow like replacement. The year after Tebow left the team fell apart and so did good ol' Urban

i had taken Brennan off in the last iteration of it because of his one tweet indicating he was still recruiting for OSU.

 

[tometom]

also, my take on Banker only being named a D coach, I'm going to guess Co-defensive coordinator with a yet to be named D coach, thus didn't want that out there so didn't call him DC.

 

[Tomhusker]

You have truly lost your marbles.

You are assuming I ever had marbles in the first place.

 

[tometom]

Saw HCMR visited Busey today. Saw one of the LJS folks talked to dad afterwards and sai MR had 3 guys in mind for RB coach, one being his old RB coach at osu. Bussey said if MR would have said it would be Brown he would have reaffirmed his commitment. Wonder if that means RB is one of the 3 or not. I dont know enough about his guy. Need to read up on him but am out of pocket and cant right now.

 

[HuskerinBig10]

Nebraska coach page new addition is Mike Riley as Head Coach. No other changes.

Oregon State coach page ONLY shows Gary Andersen, no other coaches.

Googling Papuchis and beck, nothing on Papuchis, but Beck might be the OC at Kentucky.

 

[Brasky]

Kentucky has essentially become our little brother school.

 

[Red_Alert]

Notice there hasn't officially been a D-coord named yet? I know he's brought his previous over, but he hasn't been officially named as D-coord yet.

 

[Red_Alert]

I don't imagine he'd bring him for a demotion to a position coach though.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I don't imagine he'd bring him for a demotion to a position coach though.

Unless he thought Banker wouldn't be retained by the next Head Coach.....which was highly likely.

Maybe he brought him over to be a position coach just so he wouldn't be out a job.
