Roger Dorn

I think it says a lot that he said he was at his worst while at Nebraska. While I'm sure the coaching staff didn't approve of it, there was no way that they didn't know about it.

Move some of them to LB. Lets build the fastest D in CFB. It worked wonders for McBride

Luke Gifford was moved from S to LB during the offseason.

Don't get me wrong DPE is a great player and will benefit greatly from Riley's system but I think Westerkamp will have the better year. He is a true receiver and will benefit from the change in scheme.

Another contender for the All Name Team

Stoltenberg at DT? And no Natter?

 

Interesting...

Brandon Peters of Avon, Indiana. No offer yet.

Very impressive highlights. Would rank him as a very close second to Gaurantano with Noland slightly behind both of them. But would be very happy with any of those 3.

His biggest argument is that Gregory doesn't have the strength. Well he didn't mention that Gregory had 24 reps on the bench while clowney only had 21. While Gregory isn't the biggest guy, you can't say he is weak.

 

He also had a pretty impressive bull rush this year along with a good variety of other moves.

 

Count me as someone who thinks Gregory will be a stud 3-4 OLB.

If Reed plays the hybrid or safety.... that leaves us thin at LB still. I'm not counting on Rose to come back as good off that dreadful knee injury. Santos had knee problems as well. If Barry doesnt academically make it, we could be as thin as Newby, Banderas, Ferguson, and Talan (Reed -S/Hybrid, Barry - Academic Casualty, Santos/Rose - injury problems). Hopefuly this isn't the case as this was a worst case scenario and i'm sure the coaches have double checked the transcripts and stuff, but just something else to think about.

Don't forget about Dedrick Young, he is already here and already has the athletic ability to play right away and I think he will.

Count me in as Dedrick Young being the underrated recruit in this class. I think he has a good chance to play significant snaps next fall.

 

However, in 4 years when we look back on this class, I think the one who will have had the best career is Stanley Morgan.

Whens the last time any of you saw a 131 zone be that effective at the college level?

If I'm not mistaken, I think Baylor ran that against is last year in the tournament and we struggled with it then too.

Always will appreciate what RB has done, but I think this decision was best. Riley has shown that he wants to hire recruiters on this staff and RB was not as ferocious of a recruiter as some of the new guys he hired. However I am surprised RB ended up at YSU though.

Yep saw this too

Going to Youngstown St. According to Vincent Valentine.

Langsdorf was just in New Jersey yesterday

Call me crazy but I think this team might be better if Petteway leaves after this year. He goes all Kobe mode and it takes everyone out of their rhythm and his demeanor always seems to be negative. I think we could become more of a true offense instead of the TP show.

I like Nate Gerry but he is often overmatched in the open field against speed players. Would it be better for him to play closer to the LOS? I was at the Holiday Bowl and the fans around me were expressing the same sentiment that long term Gerry does not have the speed/quickness necessary at safety plus he takes a ton of bad angles. I'll be interested to watch Gerry's development. Started off season well but seemed to regress down the stretch...perhaps long season wore him down? Or are we in for a position change here?

The guy has great coverage skills and was our leading tackler for a long time. The issues on defense were far from him. This notion is a bit ridiculous.

Gregory will have 2+ sacks. Makes one final statement before the draft comes.

The most realistic possibility will be the expansion to an 8 team playoff. Power 5 conference champions get an automatic bid, with the committee voting on the final 3 at large spots.

I'm guessing it will be more of a committee, especially at the beginning of the season. As we get closer to the middle/end of the year I bet Taylor gets the majority of snaps with newby rotating in.

I think David Cutcliffe could be a great hire. Brought Duke back from the bottom of the FBS. Is a heckuva QB coach, both the Mannings still go to him in the offseason. If we can't get the Vest, McElwain or Patterson, then I'm on team Cutcliffe

Paul Johnson. There is a reason no one wins with the triple option.

Players are not too happy:

 

@JordanWesty1: Unreal. Bo believed in me and I 100% believed in him. Can't believe this....

 

@TheRealVRVJ: At a loss for words. Wouldn't be where I am in my career without Bo & Kaz. Best coaches I ever played for. I can't believe this.

 

@brasko7: That's the worse way to wake up in the morning. Smh that's some Bull real talk man. I guess stability doesn't mean anything

 

@NathanGerry: He's the reason we came here

 

@Tommy_Gun4: Biggest mistake you ever made.... Bo was the best coach I've ever had and I'll always appreciate the things you taught me.

 

@J_Mitch05: Smh terrible decision just awful smh 9 wins gets you fired? Thank you coach Bo for everything u did for me & this team over ur tenure

While watching the Minn and Wisc game, I think it's clear that we are more talented than both teams. The difference is scheme and coaching. One or both of these issues need to change because we should have beat both of those teams fairly easily.

 

 

Another interesting option would be Cam Cameron, he is currently the OC/QB coach at LSU. Has a ton of NFL experience, great QB coach and runs the style that I think we need. He might be my top choice at this point.

That's an interesting candidate, Dorn.

 

Although I will say that LSU's QB development worries me a bit. They typically have an athlete running around playing QB with a cannon but very little in the way of touch or accuracy running around back there. Very similar to TA, actually. They are however a power running team, and with Cameron you'd know that getting bizarre or bipolar in our use of the running game wouldn't be a problem.

 

We'll have to see how this shakes out though. Most think we're going with an offensive coach anyway so we'd probably implement his system.

Yeah I liked what he was able to do with Mettenberger last year. That kind of pro style offense with power running would be ideal.

I like Cam Cameron a lot too. Great at developing QB's.
