Huskerballz Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Barney Cotton as Offensive Coordinator?? Please....No. Quote Link to comment
typ3kal Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Actually this issue is all over quite a few national sports blogs, or has been in the last 2-3 months. Most pundits I have read believe watson will be out within the next 2 years leaving nebraska with an option of either going back to its old offensive ways that we've been known for over the last 50 years or staying with the WC passing game.

papersun87 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Isn't this your second post about Watson leaving? Where do you get the idea he may take a head coaching job next year? He's not a widely known coordinator as it stands now nor is he a proven OC. No way does he leave next year for a HC job. Isn't it obvious? Threadstarter is Shawn Watson, and wants to know where we think he should run off to after the season. Quote Link to comment
Bleeding Husker Red Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 If he's going to get an HC job her better do it soon. The guy aint gettin any younger. One thing I COULD point out.... The fact that Tom Osborne did NOT hire him for the job. I mean, the guy was right here..... Quote Link to comment
Vuren Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 barney won't be the OC, it'll be Beck. Quote Link to comment
hack Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 My feeling is he's here for this year to train Cotton on his offense and then get his own team. yah, because cotton really doesn't have any experience as a coach. go to bed, oldman. Quote Link to comment
hack Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 He's not a widely known coordinator as it stands now nor is he a proven OC. not to the public at large, but a) osborne thought enough of watson to recommend that he be kept on staff b) and made the deal sweet enough for him to stick around when c) nick saban tried to lure him to tuscaloosa. don't doubt the osborne, dude.

Ohio Pete Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 My feeling is he's here for this year to train Cotton on his offense and then get his own team. So where do you think he'll go? Can't see a big name team for him. iOWA? Hey, Lane Kiffin might be available pretty soon, some time next week actually. I'd rather see him come in if Watson finds a head coaching job (his stated goal) after the season. Quote Link to comment

DaveH Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 tbh, I wouldn't cry if he left though so TO & BO can bring in someone who favors running the option and then we can light up teams with our run game again. bleh... Quote Link to comment
shagg Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 never really been sold on watson...guy's an average coach..i guess what i'm trying to say is when you're not as talented as the oklahomas and usc you have to be more creative Quote Link to comment
TheKiD Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 A return to "Barney Ball" would be a step backwards in my opinion. Hopefully this is not the case. Quote Link to comment
HuskerJosh82 Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 he chose to stay at NU because he liked what Tom and Bo are trying to do here at NU and wanted to be part of it. He wont leave until that is accomplished. I think that he will be here for at least 4 more years I only think he has about 2 more years here. I hope your right Rob. Quote Link to comment
huzkerbob Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I think your all under estimating the allure of the husker program. Believe it or not, there are still a lot of people who would love to be a part of this staff. To say he's just here to pad his resume is doing a disservice to Watson. If your not sold on Watson you haven't been paying attention to the Big 12 the last decade! 2001 CU game, hello! This guy knows the conference and knows how to get a lot from a little. He is most certainly an asset to our football team. As for the option. I loved it to, but sadly those days are done. If TO wanted the option back he would have went for Paul Johnson. Osborne made the choice for the good of the big red. Not for nostalgia factor of running the option. TO ran the triple option because it worked, not because it was the only thing he believed in! Watson is our guy, and I'm glad we have him! Quote Link to comment

I'd rather see him come in if Watson finds a head coaching job (his stated goal) after the season. That would be awesome! If he can't figure out how to change to a spread offense, hopefully someone lures Watson away at the end of the season. He had 1 top 20 offense at CU and our offense this year hasn't exactly been burning up the stat books. Quote Link to comment
