born red Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 at this point I highly doubt it. Is he co-defensive coordinator at OU? I think one could argue that going from OU's co-def cord. to NU's head def. cord. would be a step down rather than up. I wouldn't complain though if he came to Nebraska...OU has had some decent D's in the past. I'm sure we would be better than 77th in the nation against the run or whatever we're currently at.

I disagree. He would have the top spot and have more control. JMO Quote Link to comment
np_husker Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Don't kill me for this... but maybe he would make a good replacement for Callahan in a year or two. Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Rumor floating around down here that I've heard mentioned a couple of times is Mike Stoops could quite possibly be out at Arizona at the end of the season which means he could want a job back with his brother as the DC at OU again. Venables would be a great DC. OU has a fast defense. Would like to see some of that in Lincoln. Quote Link to comment
hskerprid Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 I was also told that Venables was a coach at NU awhile back( or a low ranking asst.) I dont recall him ever being at NU and I've been watchin the sker's for 35 years now. If Venables was to come here, what better person to scheme against his cousin Bob? ( I think their related?) God bless Tom Osborne! GBR!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment

hack Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I think one could argue that going from OU's co-def cord. to NU's head def. cord. would be a step down rather than up. disagree because stoops is the the defensive play caller at oklahoma. if this venables (?) does come to nebraska, he would be given quite a bit of leeway with defense. he looks like parker lewis, tho.

Only question is if BC has the stones to can his friend. Quote Link to comment
nepolo7 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I like that rumor. It would be nice to get some younger blood on the staff. I get the feeling sometimes that the game has simply passed Cosgrove by. Quote Link to comment

Trying to figure out what kind of person (other then tuff tiger) would make that kind of argument? Quote Link to comment
HuskerKing130 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 O wow this would be so awesome to get rid of Cosgrove & get a good defensive coordinator in Venables. I'm will be p*ssed if Callahan doesn't grow some balls & take advantage of this opportunity (if indeed NU has a shot at getting this guy). This guy would be a huge get for the Huskers Quote Link to comment
