Coaching Hires thread


Recommended Posts


Bo's d-hires after Marvin have much to prove. A strength-coach, a grad-assistant, and his brother? I can't say I'm wowed by this. I expected Carl but at-least Carl has been a 1A-coach, the other two? Ya maybe they'll be money, I certainly hope they are, but I'm not excited.

From what I've heard, Eckler was pretty much Pelini's right-hand man. Was involved a lot in developing game plans for the defense. So... take it FWIW...

 

 

So Eckler was a football-coach that got snuck in under-the-pretenses of a strength-coach? That works I guess. But I can't say I'm without reservations. When we promoted Albin from GA he'd already been HC of a NAIA national champ. He not only had Solich's seal-of-approval he had credentials. This is the first "real" coaching job for a couple of guys, Bo obviously has faith in them but I'm still a bit nervous.

Any information on why Randy Jordan wasn't retained? And who will coach the RBs?

i have been reading that it is Possible that former NU player and now a coach at Southern Miss, Mike Grant could be the running back coach

 

the only thing that we know for sure right now is that Ron Brown and Barny Cotton have been hired.

 

on Huskers.com, they only have Bo Pelini's name on there as the HC, and no other names as assistants

Bo Pelini and Mike Eckler were out in CA today to see Simi Kuli, so i guess that Mike Eckler has been hired but not sure what his title is going to be

 

Might be the new LB coach

Seems so weird to see Mike Eckler's name as i went to school with him and his brother! To bad i didnt keep in touch with them or i might have some free tickets! LOL
