I would say that this possibilities of are slim to none. Why leave Green Bay for Nebraska?

Rathman has Neb-ties and wouldn't come here to be rb-coach why would Bennett? I think either would come to try their hand at OC, but not to be a position-coach. If this is somehow true he'd be a hell of a hire, would he get running-game coordinator/assistant-HC or anything?

 

 

I've heard that ex-KSU co-OC Greg Peterson is in the mix, he sounds more realistic.

i agree, can't imagine Bennett would come here as a postion coach.

Was'nt Edgar Bennet a running back for florida St or Miami in College?

[huskerbatt52]

Florida St., I believe.

[huskers13]

It says he is in his seventh season with Green Bay so he might be a good friend of Pelini when he was the LB coach there

Doesn't hurt to ask/offer.

so is randy jordan pretty much finished?

 

i kno that earlier this week people were speculating that he would be returning...but it seems that as time goes on, it becomes more clear that he's gone.

Not trying to knock Jordan down, but I think the talent at RB is amazing. And these guys just do not recognize a cutback if the hole was 10 feet wide. Plus, not much leg emphasis in order to pile drive ahead & break open field tackles. He's a good guy, but a new coach might bring in a different perspective.

Any way of finding out what big schools have turned down the Huskers for non-conference games? I remember we used to play Alabama, Penn State, and Michigan.

 

 

If Jordans gone, Lucky is prolly now gone.... hopefully not, but who knows I hope Lucky stays around he could really benefit.

i really don't think it would be in Lucky's best interest to join the draft. he needs his senior year to develop a little more inside ability.

I think Marlon stays. He didn't leave last year after the departure of John Blake. From everything I've heard or read, they were very close. I don't know about his relationship with Jordan. I guess time will tell.

I always wondered if it was Jordans coaching or Callahan that would not let the RBs make cuts. It seemed to me that Bjax started to do well when he actually started making cuts. I never knew for sure but always kinda wondered.
