When do you guys think we will start hearing about Ekelers replacement? Names for interviews/leading candidates. Or will it be announced when the decision has been made?
PLEASE be so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Maybe they're waiting for more announcements.
But there isn't a single former Nebraska LB who fits that bill better than Colman, is there?Pretty sure Colemam isn't going to be our new linebackers coach. Think they are looking for someone with more experience and better recruiting ties.
I'm not accusing or anything I genuinely asking...is Coleman the lead candidate because he's a Nebraska guy and we assume he's a candidate, or did a credible source actually call him the leading candidate? It just seems people have been throwing that term around a lot lately based on nothing more than past ties, sometimes that aren't even as strong as Coleman to NUDoug Colman is or was the lead candidate as of last week.

I don't think there will be any other announcements unless Watson is hired somewhere else or decides to leave on his own. From what I can gather Bo and Watson had an agreement that they would both do their best to help Wats get a head coaching job somewhere else, but he's not really on a time table. Bo won't fire Wats and the assumption was pretty good (at least before the bowl game) that Wats would have a couple of opportunities come his way. That's the reason Beck did some work with the QB's. It was feared that Wats might not have that "dream job" until after spring and that would kind of leave us screwed at the OC position and the exact direction to go over the summer. I've been told to expect the same working assignments to continue until Wats figures out if he's staying or going.
everything i have heard is carl will take over the duties and there will be no new coach
Coleman is a very good coach. He was/is a very serious candidate and Bo has spoken with him. I could also see Bo giving Ross Watson a shot as I think they're pretty impressed with him but he's been with the DB's and the LB coach is a pretty important spot.I'm not accusing or anything I genuinely asking...is Coleman the lead candidate because he's a Nebraska guy and we assume he's a candidate, or did a credible source actually call him the leading candidate?

I have no idea what SC has said and I'm not going to listen to his pod cast. The guy is a douche bag.
