Nebraska: Armed Forces vs. Air Force If this is the match up it will interesting seeing how the coaching staff balances short-term goals with long-term goals. I think an extra couple of weeks of traditional practice would really help prepare for the 2016 season and further bond the staff with the players. However, the triple option can be very difficult to stop without the time-consuming preparation of first having some of the coaching staff learn the system, then teaching the scout team how to run it, and then teaching the defense how to stop it. Much of that triple option defensive preparation isn't particularly helpful in the long term for a team playing a B1G schedule.

"I am pretty sure we would get the better athletes the Navy." Ya think? If not, NU should be renamed "Army".

Don't let the uncertainty and inconvienance of coach churn depress you; just be thankful players don't (yet) enjoy the same freedom of mobility as coaches!

I hear Carl Pelini is available.

The image of walking into a McDonald's and finding myself face-to-face with Bo behind the counter is deeply disturbing.

Ann Arbor has poutine, Loncoln has runza. Seems like a draw to me.

Is HP saying he only wants coaches that no one else wants and will never want?

Garrett is listed for it but don't get it twisted. Riley is a QB guru. He makes chicken salad out of chicken sh#t on a pretty consistent basis Hope you're not implying that Nebraska has an abundance of chicken-s**t at QB ?

Wait a minute! I don't know who Navy's OC is at the moment, but my loyalties tell me he is BY DEFINITION a fabulous coach!

Very interesting.

To give him the benefit of the doubt, perhaps on his own Mitchell decided to apologize and went to the PR Dept. for help in wordsmithing?

I believe Bush was at USC from 2003 to 2005, and Orgeron from 1998 to 2004, so apparently he was. I can't find a specific reference, but given that Bush was a high profile recruit for USC in 2002 and Orgeron was USC's principle recruiter in 2002 it is possible that Orgeron himself recruited Bush.

Trying to steal my posts? I hope this doesn't imply that Perlman wants only HC candidates that nobody would ever want.

Granted Bo was the HC at Nebraska and not DC, but defense was often one of Nebraska's weak areas during Bo's tenure. How much of that falls on Bo, and how might that affect his future as DC?
