If by "truth" you mean "I'm pulling stuff out of my a$$ that has no basis in reality" then I agree with you.

Mav is there a way to block people on this site?

It's too early to tell what's going to happen with the remaining spot. Who knows if a defensive coach gets a different job or something of the sort. I honestly think we need both which is quite the conundrum. If everything stays the same I think you add Brown or another RB coach, have Frost coach special teams and keep Busch as an analyst to help Scott. Personally I'd rather have Busch on staff but we'll see.

I like 8 teams the best. The 4 best teams definitely get in with that format.  I actually don't mind just 4 teams since I think since the ultimate goal should be that the top 2 teams in the country get a shot at the championship and while I see one can debate seeding or if the 3rd or 4th best team got in, I think it does its job.

Initially, I was more in favor of 6 teams as I don't feel half of the "top 12" deserve to be there. Top 2 get byes and it would setup pretty nicely. Although after listening to some podcasts I think 8 makes the most sense, P5 conference champs and 3 at large bids.

I'm not against having a dedicated ST coordinator.   Ideally I would think he needs to be a good recruiter and should double duty as the recruiting coordinator. 

 

I was just saying last time we did it, it was very controversial.  The irony is what I found funny.

Bill Busch would fit in that role nicely. Just need to see how the rest of the staff shakes out.

If we move on from Frost next year. We need to make that kind of offer to someone. One of the big dogs. (Saban, Meyer, Jimbo, Dabo) Proven winners. 

Idk what year you think it is but those guys aren't coming here. Doubtful boosters will want to pay a $120 million contract because that's the new norm. Reports are out that Jimbo turned down $130 million from LSU

This is the approach Frost should take. Emphasis on should

I don't want a special teams by committee, I'm guessing that's basically what we used this last year and it didn't work. We need a dedicated special teams coach and we needed last year not a defensive coach that got a shiny special teams button for coming back to the huskers.

Quote from his Wiki

In his first stint as coach of UMass from 1998 to 2003,^[3] he won the NCAA Division I-AA national title in his first season at the school.^[3] His UMass teams rewrote the record books, setting more than 40 team records. In 1998 his national championship team posted school records in points scored (524), touchdowns (73), total yards (7,074), passing yards (4,050), completions (306), and first downs (354).

I’d rather have Dawson move on and have Chinander take OLB and hire both a RB and ST.

This was my thoughts exactly Dawson can take another NFL job and Chins was already working with the LB group if memory serves me right.

No mention of MJ as recruiting coordinator.

Bill Busch STC/Recruiting coordinator?

I have no idea how to embed a tweet

So why can't Shafer just come out and say the flippin' name? I HATE this 'I know something you don't' crap.

He basically said he didn't want to burn his sources.

The audio from the tweet doesn't say coached OL.  Did I miss something?

I didn't listen to the audio in the tweet but this morning on the radio show I'm 90% sure Mike mentions that the guy he has been hearing about also coaches O-line. I'll try and find the segment omw home and make sure my ears aren't fooling me.

Barney Cotton is 65, just saying. 

 

Cotton eventually will have a decision to make: Will he jump back into college coaching? It won't be in 2020. He knows that. But he keeps an open mind about 2021. During those long nights, he still thinks about drawing up plays and what he would do in certain situations. But then he ponders the notion of jumping back into the 80-hour work weeks that routinely go along with the gig. Would he be ready for that?

They said sitting P5 OC so that rules out Barney as who they were referencing. That said I'd take him as an analyst.

if this is referring to Morris, I think my time as a fan is over 

He also mentioned that he would be the oldest staffer possibly sans Ron Brown whom they believe to be our next RB coach. Also said this possible OC also coaches OL? 

Ik Davis coaches OL but doesn't seem to fit the bill of being oldest on the staff.

wouldnt you rather just hire the best available and view the ties as simply a perk? I simply dont want the ties to be part of the search criteria. 

Exactly, this whole being from NE or being an alumni is a positive, but it's a very small portion of the puzzle.

Another poster just said Joseph is being retained..Rumor or confirmed I do not know. 

He was visiting a recruit in Louisiana yesterday so that's not a good sign.

More Huskers are now following Willy Korn. 

Caleb Tannor is the only "Followers I know" what other players have followed him? Mike Williams is also following him but he's coaching now.

I think we are screwed.  The staff was fired almost 4 weeks ago (11/8) and we got nada.  Now new coaches are filling staffs forcing other guys to hire...And here we sit, watching another punt get blocked by inept attention to detail.  

Inept attention to detail? Dawson has done a "great job" with our special teams as Frost so eloquently put it

what coaches competing for championships this weekend have the urge to leave a program that is successful and view Nebraska on a 1 year show me or get fired as a step up? 

No one really unless they have something to prove or maybe want out of their current school. I'm more just thinking out loud.

It is almost like we fired our other coaches weeks ago for no reason. lol 

You would think our athletic department especially would know not to fire coaches without a solid plan in place. Steve Pederson learned that lesson years ago.

Unfortunately the longer this takes the less confidence I have. Hopefully their "guy" is coaching in a championship game this weekend and will be announced after but I'm not holding my breath.

Seen a mention of Graham Harrell and Chad Morris on twitter but would assume if it's one of them they would have been announced already. Need to lock this staff up this week or very early next week. Dead period starts the 12th and early signing day is the 17th 

What about Sonny Cumbie? I haven't seen much about him except for a mention in one article. Currently serving as interim head coach of Texas Tech, been an OC/QB coach there and @ TCU. Should be able to help recruit Texas.

I'd like someone with HC experience but unsure if we can pull who we'd want. I'd also like to see the addition of a special teams coordinator/ associate head coach to help with some game management decisions like calling a timeout late in the game. 

Good luck to him on Sunday's. He might not have been the best player on the field but he was giving it his all every down. 

Here's how I see it playing out
