Possible replacements

[RedDenver]

IMO:

Watson moves to OC and continues working with the TE's, Busch adds Recruiting Coordinator to his title, and Rich Gannon comes in as a QB coach (some rumors floating around indicating Gannon may be interested - just rumors).

[Hunter94]

wow, Gannon would be a huge addition, if it were to happen

[Touchdown Tommie]

Isn't he from the West Coast anyways? Maybe he was getting closer to his family and what not. I am not too sad to see him leave. Having Gannon on staff would be another reason for top QB recruits to consider and sign with NU....at least since he was a NFL QB. I don't know how good of a coach he would be???

[NevadaHusker27]

Having Rich Gannon on the staff would be great. He had 4 straight pro bowl years and won the MVP when he played in the west coast offense under Callahan and would make a great coach and recruiter for quarterbacks.

I LOVE the idea of Gannon at QB Coach + other small roles. He has been around enough that kids out of HS still know him and have to respect him.

[BIGREDIOWAN]

I have confidence in Callahan that whomever he picks will be the right candidate.

[huskernumerouno]

Gannon would be cool and so would some of the others mentioned. I will look forward to see who we get. Man they sure know how to break up the off season and give us message board material.

i leave Iraq for 2 weeks and we have a coach leave?????????

 

i guess it will give us something else to talk about until football signing day.

 

anyone know off hand how many recruits Norvell was in on?

Ah hell I didn't even think about recruits!!! He was in on 3 recruits.........Patrick Witt, Terrence Moore, Jared Crick

[Big Red Cop]

One is already on campus, one is a Nebraska boy that loves NU, and the other just cancelled his Alabama trip this weekend to stay 100% solid for NU. All three are no worries.

[husker rob]

that is good news

 

i do like the rumors of Gannon as a position coach. I never liked the idea of a tight end teaching a qb but what do i know

[RedDenver]

Another rumor that has sprung up is Watson to OC/QB and Eric Roark to TE/RC. Roark is a coach at SMU: bio

[roadrat]

I wish someone would have asked Norvell what he meant when he said "he was going to a program ready to make the next step"? Does he believe we're not? My question is why doesn't the Off. Coordinator call the plays at NU. I mean isn't that in the job description? What the hell is there to coordinate since every position has a coach and the head coach is calling the plays.

Coach Callahan has been described as a offensive guru and he has accepted that as true. He's not about to relenquish control of "his offense". I say the jury is still out on his ability. He has shown glimpses but is too inconsistant especially the later part of last season.

[NevadaHusker27]

According to Journalstar Shawn Watson will be promoted to offensive coordinator with Callahan retaining play-calling duties.
