huskerjack23 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 that's not necessarily true...money talks. it might be a dream job for him, but there are other things for him to consider. maybe his family likes it here and doesn't want to move again unless it's for something better than wyoming. but as much as he's moved around as a coordinator and assistant, i'd say that he'd probably be as good as gone if he got the offer. Money means jack when you are getting an offer to be a D1 head coach. Especially being a WRs coach getting an opportunity to be a head guy. Even more when you are an African American getting the chance when the opportunities are few and far between for them. And lets be real -- how many head coaching gigs will Gilmore get an offer at in his career? This is a real chance for him. Put all that together with this being his alma mater and I would be stunned if he stayed if he was presented the opportunity. hey...i understand everything you're saying. but don't assume.

HuskerKing130 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I wont miss him at all if he takes the job...in fact I hope he does Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 What's with this hate? Gilmore's a good coach, isn't he? you hope he leaves? come on, man. It sounds like he's a goner though, if they offer him the job. I wonder how this will affect our recruiting. Quote Link to comment
HuskerKing130 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Hate? Come on man, why would I hate him? I think we can get a better coach to coach the WRs, but I certainly dont hate him. Geeze Quote Link to comment
tattooedhusker Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I want him to leave...but not for the same reasons as some. I want him to leave if it's going to benefit him and his family, it would be a great oppertunity for him. That only reflects well on Nebraska as well. Quote Link to comment

strigori Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Good for Gilmore. Any time your team's assistants become head coaches, it does nothing but good for the program. Bob Stoops has a number of assistants now head men. It makes getting the best assistants easier too. Most of the coaches who are considered great, have huge lists of head coaches off their staffs.

It sounds like he's a goner though, if they offer him the job. I wonder how this will affect our recruiting. There's no hate here, and I don't think it affects recruiting at all since he's not actively recruiting anyone. From an active/sales recruiting stand point he was a poor recruiter at CU and at NU. You didn't hear the buff fans cry when he was let go on the recruiting front. He may do very well as a HC in Wyomming with his ties to the Kansas jucos as long as he hires a staff that can recruit. If the REAL Cowboys take him as the HC, I honestly think Bo needs to hire a stud ace recruiter from the Tennesse staff, like their RB coach for example. Or someone similar that knows what it takes to get the blue chippers. Quote Link to comment
REDSTEEL Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Just remember two other coaches on this staff have wr coaching experience Ron Brown and Beck. If he leaves will this team be worse off? Quote Link to comment
huskerjack23 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Just remember two other coaches on this staff have wr coaching experience Ron Brown and Beck. If he leaves will this team be worse off? yeah...they could just switch over and we could get an ace recruiter to fill the other spot is there a list online that lists the top cfb recruiters?

Stan Drayton was almost hired by Bo last season when Beck was brought in. With Fulmer retiring at Tennessee, and if Gilmore is hired at Wyoming, I would love to see Bo hire S. Drayton. That guy had recruited many of Tennesses' star commitment and J. Giles was going to UT because of him. Giles is visiting NU this week, maybe they get reunited-one can hope. Drayton is a great recruiter. Stan Drayton RB Coach at UT Quote Link to comment
redout22 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 As much as I want him to stay its a great oppertunity for him Best of luck either way Quote Link to comment
armed1 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Would it be legal to move the wr`s under Ron brown and just hire a recruiting specialist that only recruits and works on recruiting all year long? Or would that go against NCAA rules? Quote Link to comment
illnino Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I'm just worried about any negative effects, due to his position as recruiting coordinator. I think he's a pretty good coach, but would more than understand him leaving to take the job as the HC at Wyoming. Best of luck to him If he does decide to leave, let's go get Mr. Stan Drayton Quote Link to comment
