Jon Smith.

He's coached two Biletnikoff award winners in the last 10 years.

He's talking about Mike Hass, 2005 Biletnikoff award winner.

Not uncommon for pro coaches.

He knows Frank Solich personally from the AFCA board. +1. He knows Callahan, follows his football. -1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1

That struck me as odd, too. You'd think he'd have a pretty full Rolodex by now. Yeah...I think he has been pretty isolated...but it still something that kind of bugs me a bit... 1. Really well respected but might not know a lot of guys 2. Might be bringing most/all of his old staff 3. Offense is a hodgepodge/multiple Not the end of the world but just things that kind of made me go "hmmmm" He's been here a single day folks. Give him some time....he's got plenty of it. Thats just it...he doesn't have plenty of time. He is starting recruiting today, he said...time is up. So he met with the interim head coach....and you think he should meet with the others before he gets started trying to salvage the recruiting class? Do you really want us to lose all our recruits? Won't take him that long to have a sit down face to face with them. He's gotta get a feel for them to see if any of them would fit in his system. Telling is what he just said: Must be an expert in what he's coaching. If he's a linebacker's coach, he's gotta be an expert in that. Coaches gotta treat people right, with discipline, growth, and a vision to help build the athlete. This sounds like he's talking about having a pro style staff.

Does that speak to the obscurity of the coaching hires Pelini has made? You're missing the point, my friend. This guy has coached in the NFL. He coached in the Pac-12. The media all claim to know him personally. The coaching world is a pretty small world. I find it hard to believe his path hasn't crossed anybody on this staff at all in his almost 40 years of coaching. EDIT: Apparently, I may be missing the point. Are you saying it's more telling about the previous staff that a guy so well known doesn't know any of the outgoing staff?

Well...he was hired on tuesday. No my friend. He was CONTACTED on Tuesday. He was hired yesterday.

Searching for that opportunity to win championships?!? Oyyyyyyyyy Veyyyyyyy.....

For a guy who is so well respected around coaching and media circles, he knows NOBODY on the staff?

He said he's never seen these guys play. Oy vey....

The QBs and I-Backs are giddy right now, me thinks.

So, what I just heard was that Eichorst first contacted Riley on Tuesday. TUESDAY. And was hired on THURSDAY.

Guy quotes Doc Tom? LOL

Talking about starting to fill staff this afternoon? Wow.

We got Mr. Rogers as a football coach.

Sock, you have time to make this up. As long as Coach O and Frost make it this way, you're still okay in my book. If not, you go back into the sock drawer.

Hope he's okay, but here's the funny thing about this... http://studio.omaha.com/?ndn.trackingGroup=91341&ndn.siteSection=omahalanding&ndn.videoId=28222582&freewheel=91341&sitesection=omahalanding&vid=28222582 A few minutes into the video, he's giving a quick interview. You can tell he's a Bo guy, cause gives a, "We'll see how this all pans out," kinda of response. Apparently, he didn't know Mike Riley is such a loving, caring guy, that even the wildlife love him. And apparently, the wildlife don't take kindly to people messing with their Mike Riley....

Don't give me that BS. If he was that good of a talent evaluator, that's fine. But....you have to A....B....C....

If the son of Ba Ba and Co Co comes here, It's on like popcarn. That's right, say it like it spelled.

Team Captain Yep, looked like a team captain as he was not sealing the edge and letting Melvin Gordon run all over his side. Sorry, couldn't resist.

Sure loses with grace, yep.

He did knock off 'Zona State this year.... And, he did draft some guy named Drew when he was at the Chargers. You know, this guy:

Great for who? As usual, Herbstreit is late to the party.
