My thoughts exactly. If "good with the media" means a coach so determined to be politically correct that all he ever does is talk in circles, then I don't want a coach who's good with the media.

So that would make 4 LSU coaches coming to NU.... Bet Tiger fans will REALLY love Bo then! :lol:

Was a guess 1620 was making not any inside information I have. They seemed to think that it might be the Florida RB coach now, so no one really knows other then BO. Either one sounds like a it would be a steal.

Yeah, I am betting that LSU fans will give us crap about this for a long time to come if we actually took 4 coaches off their staff...this will be especially true if their program goes into the dumper, which is always a good possibility with all the parity there is now with the reduction of the number of scholarships.
Some day, I have a feeling that this will happen to Nebraska, where someone will take one of our coaches as a HC, and he will take several coaches with him...if and when it happens, we won't have any room to belly ache about it, will we? But fans have a short memory, they will forget that we did it first, but LSU fans will probably pop up to remind us of the fact.
Either way, I am glad we are finally back to work, trying to straighten up what has been so screwed up the last few years. I just hope that parity don't keep us down, also.

These two guys, are the only names suggested so far on this board as our possible running back coach.
Larry Porter-current lsu asst head coach/running backs/special teams coach-bio
Stan Drayton-current florida running backs coach-bio
both have experience as both a running back coach and special teams coach, both are coaching their team in a bowl game, and both obviously had previously worked with bo.
oh yeah, it doesn't hurt that both of these guys are really good at recruiting(could help alot) :hmmph
Has anyone heard of any other possible candidates? :dunno

There are other names being thrown around like Shawn Simms but it is likely Porter or Drayton because of the fact they are waiting for after the bowl games to make the official announcement.

Shawn Simms? I googled him real quick and found him as a linebacker coach from ISU formerly of Bowling Green. Coached Colorado (Purify tore us up) for a few years. Is this the guy? What do all you experts think of him as a choice?
