I have done a lot of research on each coaching candidate. Out of all of them, this guy reminds me of a younger Dr Tom. Great work ethic, family man, cares about "his" kids graduating, good listener and a proven winner. I am telling you, this would be a great catch for Nebraska. Although he's not my top choice we can't go wrong if in fact Dr Tom choses this guy!
His graduation rate is largely due to the service academy environment he coaches in.
But to have the kind of success he has had at Navy takes a lot of doing. A couple of linemen in the 290's,
3 or 4 in the 280's, and 8 to 10 in the 270's. No one taller than 6' 5" and most are 6' 2" or less. This is not an overpowering team physically and yet they run the option with a good deal of success.
This guy can coach and I think we'd be lucky to have him. Husker Tradition not one of his long suits? Probably not, but if you are at Navy you know about tradition and its value.
