Darin Erstad

Guys, Erstad would be better as a baseball coach. I mean #1 overall in the b-ball draft. Does anyone know if any NFL teams were looking at him? I would love to see him coaching 3rd base instead of the kicking game.

It does sound like they are throwing names out there. However, Peter Gammons is a Hall of Fame Baseball writer and he doesnt just throw things out there for no reason. I give him more credence then the football reporters they have running around at ESPN.

Gammons did have a stroke recently.

In like April. What does that have to do with anything?

Gammons is probably the most credible reporter that ESPN has.

Peter Gammons is on the $20 bill.

Definitely not a knock on Erstad. I like his toughness and believe it wouldnt be a bad idea. There have been a ton of former Husker names thrown in lately. I think they all want to help in some way. But it doesnt mean they would do a great job b/c they wore the jersey. All I'm saying...

 

(And not a knock on Gammons either)

I always thought Erstad was the unofficial MVP of the '95 Orange Bowl. His punts kept Miami pinned back and got us out of some troublesome situations.

 

Is there any reason he couldn't coach both punters and baseball? Seems logical to me.

Erstad is a heck of a baseball player, probably one of the best... The only reason he's not doing so well now is due to injuries from selling out to catch and hit every ball... that guy has more heart than anyone else in baseball.
