HuskerTrucker Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 IMHO there were probably some negotiation with Watson and Bo on having Watson call the plays, especially after Watson had at least one offer to go someplace else to coach. I am betting that Watson will call the offense and Bo will pretty much oversee the defense as a whole, but let his assistants call the plays for the linemen and the backs. Just a hunch.

HUSKER 37 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Bo needs to be a Head Coach...not a DC and HC. Let Carl call the defensive plays, let Watson call the offensive plays and let Bo interject when needed. Given the major reason for Bo's hire was to rejuvenate the defense, I think he almost has to call the defensive plays... I thought one of the linebackers usually called the defensive play depending on the formation and situation (Down/distance)... Specially with more emphasis on no-huddle offenses. I'd imagine in this case, Bo would act more as a sounding board to both the OC and DC..Throwing ideas around and trying to cover each other's mouth (Lip readers). So... Who's in the press box?

dbetz23 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Watson will call the plays. That is a good thing, he is damn good. He is so good that I can see him leaving in a few years to become a head coach somewhere. I like Watson darn good coach. Quote Link to comment
hack Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Who will call them on defense? Bo, Carl or will they split the duty? bo will call the plays and eventually transition over to carl. Quote Link to comment
hack Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Who would do it other than Watson? barney would be the most plausible, but i just don't see that happening. Quote Link to comment
rkhufu7 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Who would do it other than Watson? barney would be the most plausible, but i just don't see that happening. Wasn't he the OC at ISU for a while after Solich was fired? Quote Link to comment
Igetbored216 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Who would do it other than Watson? barney would be the most plausible, but i just don't see that happening. Barney who? Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Who would do it other than Watson? barney would be the most plausible, but i just don't see that happening. I'm guessing that if Watson does become a HC somewhere in the future Barney will be the next OC and call the plays. Watson will call the plays in 2008. Quote Link to comment
