huskers13 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 There are rumors floating around that he will interview for the Offensive Coordinator job at Alabama next week I really hope this isnt true Quote Link to comment
huskerguy Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I would doubt he would do that this late in the process, but you never know now a days... I really like Watson and I think he's happy here... I wouldn't think he even want to leave from what he shows, but I dunno... Quote Link to comment
huskeraddict Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I would think it'd be a little late for him to leave now. I really hope there is nothing behind this. Quote Link to comment
huskerguy Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Also another thing I thought about this would be why would he have worked so hard to develop a relationship with TO and work so hard to stay on to just at the last minute jump ship... just curious, where did you get this rumor from? Could be another sites board or something or started somewhere to try screwing with recruiting Quote Link to comment
REDSTEEL Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 What a shame if that would happen. Though I would hate to see Cotton ending up as the OC. Quote Link to comment
huskerguy Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Yeah the thing that scares the hell out of me is if he leaves and Cotton is our OC... don't get me wrong I like him coaching the line, but not calling the plays and running the offense. I did some looking and so far theres no real proof other than this I can't read it because I'm not a Alabama subscriber obviously, but it seems like theres a lot of candidates and Watson may be one their targeting, but nothing confirmed as far as Watson wanting to interview. I would put my money on Norm Chow getting that job... Quote Link to comment
HuskerTrucker Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I have a really hard time believing that he would go straight across the board from OC to OC, unless he was told something by Bo that he didn't like, like Bo was planning to take total control of the offensive play calling or something like that. He knows the offense here produced with him as OC...why throw that away this late....especially after surviving all the other coaches getting canned. He knows the players and the fans like him I am sure. I don't put much credence in this one, unless he is from Alabama and grew up with their tradition...we all know what tradition means to some people. Quote Link to comment
restored_order Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I could care less. His offenses have been mediocre, and anybody with a West Coast Offense background is better off gone. Bring in someone who wants to play college football in the current century. Quote Link to comment
Spartness Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I heard Travis on "Sports Nightly" mentioned the same rumor. Pelini just got his staff established. He publicly announced it. This just doesn't sound right that we would now leave. It would not show very good character. Hopefully he's better than that. Quote Link to comment

Go Bo! Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 That would suck if he left, he's the key to continuity on the offense. Quote Link to comment
ssfranny Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 There are rumors floating around that he will interview for the Offensive Coordinator job at Alabama next week I really hope this isnt true Well if you saw the video of the halftime game when they announced the coaches, he was the only one not wearing Husker gear. I know we speculated about this with Crapahan. It could be someone making up rumors to screw up the recruiting........oh well we can get Turner Gill no biggie. Scott Quote Link to comment
Spartness Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Gill just got an extension. He's not coming here anytime soon. Quote Link to comment
