Has anyone heard or brought up Craig Bohl as a potential canidate? Born in Lincoln. Played for Tom 77-79. 8 Years as linebackers coach at Nebraska. 3 Years as Defensive Coordinator. (95-96-97) I heard the Huskers were pretty good those years. Currently head Coach at North Dakota State. Has Built former Division II NDSU into a 1-AA Powerhouse in less than 5 Years. Has won multiple coach of the year awards and currently has the NDSU Bison ranked #1 in the nation for 1-AA. A little light on the experince side, but between running the Husker Defense during the championship years and building a D-II School into a 1-AA Powerhouse in less than 5 years, seems like the guy can get things done.

Nothing against Monte but he's 67 years old. Wouldn't you rather see a guy come in who would be here 10, 15, 20 years and build a dynasty? Beside... I think most college kids would be more in tune with someone not eligible for Social Security. I dont think Monte would have no problem recruiting defensive players. They would jump at the chance to play for a guy who can prepare them to play defense in the NFL.....And he could since he invented modern NFL defense.

He is 66. Not Young but not Joe Paterno either. Its a fact in the Tampa Bay area he would have taken the job in '03 if they offered it. Could be Head Coach if a good Off. Coordinator was brought in...

Monte Kiffin was born in Lexington, NE. He shed blood on the field for the Huskers as a player from 1959-1963. He coached with Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne for 10 Years and was a coach for the National Title Teams of that era. Is currently the longest tenured defensive coordinator in the NFL at 25 seasons. As DC for Tampa Bay Bucaneers, he is the father of the often imitated 'Tampa Cover 2' defense. Monte Kiffin has established himself as one the NFL's best defensive minds of the modern era. Led the Bucs to a Super Bowl win in '02 that was fueled by the best defense in the NFL since the '85 Bears. Has kept the Tampa Bays defense as one of the best in the league for over 10 straight seasons. Completley ignored by Steve Pederson after Solich firing. Would bring Nebraska a Pete Caroll at USC type coach. There is no better choice t be the Head Football Coach at Nebraska in 08.
