Husker Homer Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 In the spirit of helping the evaluation process, I have tried to track some of our Defensive Coordinator's career in that title, and have a few stats.... .........Scoring Defense Rank ....WISCONSIN..........NEBRASKA ........43........2007.........91 .........2.........2006.........24 ........48........2005.........25 .........6.........2004.........71 ==================== ........50........2003.........2 ........38........2002.........45 ........81........2001.........6 ........34........2000.........26 8 year average rank for Cosgrove 52nd at 24.3 PPG 8 year average rank w/o Cosgrove 22nd at 18.5 PPG Wisconsin's scoring defense ranking improved, on average 26 places after Cozgrove left.....and gave up 5.3 PPG less. Nebraska's scoring defense ranking fell, on average 33 places since hiring Cosgrove........and gave up 6.2 PPG more Just an additional note.... Pelini over the last 5 years with 3 different teams averages a national ranking of 5 at 14.7 PPG. I believe that Cosgroves evaluation should be nearing compleation. He has a poor history. I don't believe that he forgot how to coach..... this is what you get..... Wisconsin 2001 Allowed 28.8 PPG Ranked 81st Nebraska 2007 Allowing 31.9 PPG Ranked 91st He was hired because of his personal relationship with Callahan, not because of any type of proven success.

Husker Homer Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 You get an A+ for you well earned Homework.....job well done...but we already knew that Coz is a terrible defensive coordinator....but thanks for reminding us. I just wanted to show that this is NOTHING NEW. I live in Wisconsin, plagued by Badger fans. They were laughing when Cosgrove left and made comments like "we will help him pack, and give him a gas card with enough on it to get him across the border." They were very happy when he left. I wanted to show it was strictly a "buddy" hire. Some on this board have said "He has been a DC for 15 years, he hasn't suddenly forgot how to coach." That's what prompted the research.

billdozer15 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I believe that Cosgroves evaluation should be nearing compleation. He has a poor history. I don't believe that he forgot how to coach..... He never knew how to coach to begin with. Nothing like single handedly running two programs defenses into the ground. After he gets thrown out of here, hopefully that will be the end of his life long goal to ruin defenses. Cant imagine after two back-to-back collosel failures he will ever get a DC job agian. I wouldn't let this guy coach my kids Jr. High team. Quote Link to comment

Husker Homer Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 I am pretty sure Tom doesn't need much help. Especially from an internet message board. I'm sure Dr. Tom doesn't give two craps about what a message board says. Just like I don't give two craps what you say. For a moderator, your a really intelligent, level headed person..... duely encouraging the message board process and thus elevating your position as someone to be respected. Kudos to you. It goes to show that even though you rode the short bus, you can asspire to be a message board moderator. I've been here about three weeks. In that time I have registered, made a few posts, not attacked anybody for their input, and learned that you are the reason that :asshat exsists. Quote Link to comment
Danimal Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I had Coz pegged as a BC-crony from the start. He hadn't had a big-time D at Wiscy in years and the locals were tired of him. I wasn't buying the "cupboard is so empty" crap. His first D had a bunch of guys that play in the NFL now and a secondary that had been stellar the year before looking clownshoes against ISU.
