papersun87 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 How about offensive line coach? Quote Link to comment
Texan in Nebraska Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 id be cool with that, he's still a good coach al Davis is just to impatient Quote Link to comment
Touchdown Tommie Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 As cool as this would be....it will never happen. He will become a head coach somewhere else in college football. It would be nice because he is an excellent recruiter and has many contacts in California since he was at USC. Quote Link to comment
Apathy Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Bo Pelini did want Lane Kiffen as his Offensive Coordinator if he would've got the job in 03' Quote Link to comment
clone Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 uh... five games into '08 and you already want to make more coaching changes. you gotta be kidding me... GO BO!! Quote Link to comment
macroboy Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 uh... five games into '08 and you already want to make more coaching changes. you gotta be kidding me... GO BO!! Agreed. Although I too am frustrated with Cotton and Watson (or at least I'm frustrated with the performance of their players). Quote Link to comment
shagg Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 i'm not too crazy about having a coach from the NFL just for the fact that they(most of them) don't seem to understand the college game... and i'm not talkin' bout Xs and Os either...some of the things that worked in the NFL might not work in the college game...in college , the talent level between the top teams and the mid tier teams is so drastic that it's not even comparable...look at bill callahan Quote Link to comment

Kiffin went from college to the pros. He coached at USC and was responsible for bringing in some of the best recruits. It would have been interesting to see if TO would have given him a shot if he was available. And please do not think I am asking for a coaching change. I believe in Bo and what he is going to do for the program. I have a hard time swallowing these defeats...but I do understand that he needs to get the type of players HE needs for HIS system. You cannot tell me that having Kiffin on board would be a nice addition to a pretty solid staff. Quote Link to comment

You cannot tell me that having Kiffin on board would be a nice addition to a pretty solid staff. to be honest with you i think people make too big of a deal about him having coached at USC..sure he brought in some good recruits at USC but what high player don't want to go to USC. they're USC. they can pretty much sign anybody they want. do you think he'll be able to bring in the same kind of recruits at NU ? don't think so..and as far as being a good OC at USC? true, but there's nothing fancy about USC's offensive philosophy..no more special than everyone else's. the reason they're able to do what they do is because they're more talented than their opponent. if Kiffen was the coach at NU with NU's current talent do you think he will have the same success like when he was at USC? I DOUBT IT....point is -what happens when he doesn't have superior talent than his opponent? is his offensive game plan so cutting edge so creative tha t it will make up for lack of talent?don't think so..just think what MIZZOU or OREGON can do if they have USC's talent... i think i know a little bit about college football thank you!

pctopeka Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Good Lord! Nebraska just gets done running one coaching staff out of town (and deservedly so), and people here want more changes. Let these guys have a couple of years to do their thing. One of the reasons that Nebraska was so good for many years was that they were very consistent in their staff. Quote Link to comment
gthogan Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Lane Kiffin would only be here for a year at the most and then we'd be back to a new offensive coordinator and a new system. Lane Kiffin is a guy who's on his way up. Quote Link to comment
clone Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 He coached at USC and was responsible for bringing in some of the best recruits. YOU could even recruit at USC, I would excel there. Just get a list of top recruits from rivals and the phone numbers of a half dozen USC cheerleaders. The REAL friendly ones. It's sunny cali, the beach, the girls, the sports media spotlight. You can't miss. GO BO!! Quote Link to comment
