New coach, all slates wiped clean. It's now a matter of who can pick up the new system the best. I've heard great things about Wilbon, if AT can stay healthy, he'd be my #2, Cross will be the bruiser back. IF Bussey comes, unless he picks it up very fast, I think they RS him.

None outside of Lemming mentioned he'd be a good fit here. Lemming just name dropping.

In light of those comments and in looking at those remaining from Bo Pelini's previous staff, I can't imagine how Ron Brown is not retained under Mike Riley. I think Coach Brown would continue to be an excellent assistant for Nebraska as he has been for the past 20 plus years. He would also be a perfect bridge between the old staff & new staff. So who all do you want to see on the next Cornhusker football staff? Garrison--OL Warren--DB Brown--RB Fairly sure he's bringing in his WR from OSU. Torn on Ed, he's a bit gruff, but he's an excellent coach and recruiter. Not sure about the 'treats people the right way' part. He wants a full time ST coach, Baron Miles lobbied to come back when the DB coaching position opened up, he would be a candidate for that role, IMO. Frost--QB So that would leave LB and DL (if Ed isn't coming) I'm not versed enough in position coaches to state any other person. With my list, we do have a nice blend of former 'Huskers to help instill the meaning of being a Husker, some outstanding recruiters and coaches, and really some outstanding men that will help mold these boys into great men. Now we're demoting Frost to QB coach? He must really love Nebraska That was along with OC. I just didn't specify that.

We have one. His name is Mike Riley I believe HE will be the QB coach. And history has shown he's darn good at it. I gotcha both.... but I prefer he wasn't. this program needs the head coach to be a CEO. He's done it for YEARS, he knows how to be a HC and a QB coach. I'd be more concerned about a FIRST time HC trying to be a coordinator or a position coach as well. Not a seasoned coach with proven success.

I believe HE will be the QB coach. And history has shown he's darn good at it.

I wouldn't bank on him coming to Lincoln. Just a hunch, but I don't see OSU's DC following Coach Riley.

Barry states he contacted Mike after Bielema left, trying to get an interview. He turned Barry away even for an interview.

Did he mention how he was going to distribute Blackshirts?

Link to these reports? I'm not sure it's made it to any sort of linkable place. Reports is the wrong word, it was "reported" to me, that said he's meeting with Frost this weekend. I know based on the interview with Frost's dad, he's open to the idea. And in an article discussing the 'rivalry' between Oregon and State, Frost stated it's more the fans, some of his best friends coach on the other sideline.

Reports are he and Frost are meeting this weekend, and Riley isn't bringing but 2-3 of his staff from OSU, including what many consider the BEST WR coach in college. I think the checkbook will be open for assistants. I am hoping he gets Frost, keeps Warren and Garrison, adds Oregeron. We will have some hellagood recruiters, and from what I've seen solid coaches/teachers as well.

TA Fyfe Stanton Darlington Bush He can develop QBs. Cross, Newby....he runs plays that fit the players skill set. TEs Wrs--better QBs, better schemes, better stats for these guys. Wait and see--The D

Don't see it on the website yet. Do you have a link, other than that post to FB link?

Both were gone if Bo stayed, both are now in limbo waiting for the new coach. If they leave it'll be to UK, it'll all depend on who is hired. IF Love leaves, we are incredibly thin at LB. That will be a glaring hole that needs resolved, even if Love stays.

Or until it's officially announced Tressel is saying no to it? Not saying he's wrong, but I know (and we can all spout examples) coaches lie when it comes to future gigs until the i's are crossed and the t's are dotted.

I would jizz myself if we hired Dungy. Great coach, man, and mentor. He is, and he's the only one I believe that when he says he's done, he's done. I just don't envision him getting back into coaching.

How credible is this source? Don't dangle that carrot, ya feel me? I know of whom he is talking about, he's a credible insider.

Country club I'll be there in a few days for a wedding. I'll keep an eye out for him.

OL--Garrison (I think he's a lock to stay if Frost comes) DB--Warren The rest will be interesting.

Neither have the 6 NFL jobs that he suggested to be available. The point remains, he either thinks it won't be open or it isn't 'great' in his flip flopping world.

The fear I have with him, or any NFL guy, is the practice schedule. We saw it in during the dark years, we are hearing about it now, the back-ups do not get enough reps in practice and are not being developed. I fear he would go to the schedule he knows and is comfortable with teaching his system, and that would likely mean the starters getting 70%+ of the reps, the rest learning during position group drills and watching. Just not enough talent development. I personally prefer a college guy, who has a history of developing players.

All depends on the coach and the style he wants to run. I personally would like him and Bullocks (for at least DB coach) to be considered, but I still want the best coach/teacher for the position regardless of former Husker ties. That said, Minter would be a great way to re-introduce the value and importance of the Blackshirt. Re-ignite the fire and passion that the Blackshirt meant and still means to the fans.

Funny you say his name, I've actually quietly wished for one of his former QBs to join the staff as early as next season. Former NFL QB, has strong ties to Texas HS, as he is currently a coach for a Texas HS team with his Dad. For me, the offense I'd like to run, very similar to Stanford, power running game, smart QB that can pass the ball and maybe run if he needs to, I think this coach would be a good fit for that system. Problem is, most Husker fans would lambaste the hire of Koy Detmer.

This practice has happened in the NBA for years, the 76ers are on a 4 year plan of tanking to keep stock piling talent. As for this thread, I'll always root for the players to succeed. They give so much blood, sweat and tears to the program that I support, I'll NEVER wish a loss upon them. In the grand scheme of things, a loss and a firing won't hurt Bo. He'll get paid and land on his feet with another great gig. There are at least 14 players who will be playing their last two games as Huskers, maybe their last two games ever, I'm not going to be so selfish and wish they lose because I don't like the coach. After 7 years, there's ample evidence for what the outcome should be, these last two games shouldn't move the line at all.

I'd venture to guess there will be no coach showing up in Lincoln for a meeting or interview even after Pelini is let go. I assume, because of this type of tracking that interviews will be done at a neutral location, making it harder to discern who has actually interviewed.
