Mavric Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 In his role with the Huskers, Devaney will work with Riley to develop, implement and oversee a comprehensive football player personnel program. Devaney will head up the process of identifying prospective student-athletes, allocation of scholarship offers and assist the head coach with roster management. Devaney will directly oversee the Huskers’ player personnel and recruiting staffs. “I spent a weekend in Lincoln last fall in my scouting role for the Falcons,” Devaney said. “The facilities and whole atmosphere was truly special, so the opportunity to work with Mike and his staff at a place like Nebraska was a no-brainer. I have been fortunate in the NFL to be a part of 19 playoff games, four championships and three Super Bowls, but this opportunity at Nebraska excites me as much as anything I have been a part of in my football career.” Link Quote Link to comment

C N Red Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Really getting excited for this team. We are finally refusing to be left behind. Teams copied what we are doing in the 90s, caught up to us, kept progressing, and eventually passed us. After TO retired its like we didnt need to keep progressing, keep changing, and stay up with the times. We are finally realizing we need to be like the Bamas of CFB. They have huge staffs off the field helping the coaches from recruiting to film study and game planning. With our recent off field hires it gives me a lot of hope. Its time to catch up with the Joneses!! 2 Quote Link to comment

Hire the smartest, hardest working, ethical people you can find and tell 'em to put those brains and muscles to work as they see fit. The world changes every day and the pace of change is increasing. Get with it or get out. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 This is probably the best DOPP in the Big Ten... Probably worth 3 or 4 points a game. I think it is clear that we really miss football! Quote Link to comment
huskered17 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Hmmm. We may just be starting to turn the corner, towards getting back to being one of the top programs again. Time will tell. At least their not sitting on their hands, waiting for the next Turner, Frazier or Crouch. GBR!!! Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Yeah, love the name. Coincidence? I thinks not. : 1 Quote Link to comment

And its not even close. His resume is better than nearly all of the SEC DOPP as well. Quote Link to comment
