If this is what happens and Bo just promotes Beck, I will have the same underwhelmed feeling I had back in 2003 when Got Frank revamped his offense by hiring Barney Cotton.
I'm with you.
Instead of using resources to get the absolute best available options, we are instead settling for coaches.
Ross Els - Never coached above Ohio/NMSU in 20 years
Tim Beck - Never called plays in college
John Garrison - Was an GA/Intern before this
Corey Raymond - Like the hire, have heard good things about him
But c'mon here, this is the best we can do? I know someone will say "BUT GIVE THEM A CHANCE FIRST". We are freakin' Nebraska. We should be spending the cash to get already known top flight coaches or getting the young hot-shot up and coming coaches. We
SHOULD NOT be settling for a bunch of guys we
hope work out.
Someone tell me what is stopping Nebraska from going down to TCU, offering Justin Fuente the full OC position, and paying him the nearly $400k a year that Shawn Watson was earning?
You can go down a long list more of high quality guys on other staffs who would love the opportunity to move up the coaching ladder and/or get a hefty pay raise.
I really thought Bo was gonna figure this out when he decided to cut some dead weight from this staff, and I was strongly encouraged. Instead, it looks like he will make more lackluster hires to replace the under-performing former staff.
Just absolutely frustrating.
