Husker_Power Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Cosgrove to Minnesota? Picked up a few notes over the last 24 hours . . . The buzz is Kevin Cosgrove is heading to Minnesota, apparently as defensive coordinator. Cosgrove was out of coaching this season. Cosgrove would replace Ted Roof, who recently joined Gene Chizik's staff at Auburn. Also, former Husker secondary coach Phil Elmassian has landed as defensive coordinator at Illinois State. He was co-coordinator at Louisiana-Monroe this season. Closer to home, TE Tyson Hetzer -- a juco transfer who joined the Nebraska program last January -- is set to transfer from NU. Hetzer missed spring practice last year with a knee injury and didn't make the 105-man roster for the start of fall camp. Also, WR Matt Donahue -- who joined the program last January as a walk-on after playing as a true freshman at Ohio -- is turning his attention to track at NU. He'll no longer play football. ljs blog Quote Link to comment

They thought it was bad when Iowa dismantled them last game of the year, wait till Cosgrove get his grubby hands in there. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 No loss with Hetzer. He was an enigma from the beginning. Quote Link to comment
WIHusker Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Cosgrove wasn't bad as the D coordinator at Wisconsin...and its a lot easier to stop big 10 offenses, just pack the box and stop the run since none of the teams can pass worth a damn. Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 No loss with Hetzer. He was an enigma from the beginning. I agree, kind of a puzzling pick up at the time, and he must not have fit into the current plans if he wasn't even on the roster. Quote Link to comment
BigRedfxtoy Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Even with the background on this subject, I hope the best for Coz. Remember he has a family to support and none of them need or deserve all the negitivity. I wish him and his family nothing but the best.... there! Quote Link to comment
hastingshusker Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 The Cosgrove thing has been rumors since Feb of last year http://www.cornnation.com/storyonly/2008/2/18/174310/934 This story was published on Feb 18. I Doubt this holds water. Sorry for the link away from this site but I wanted to show this "story" has been around for a while. Quote Link to comment
shagg Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 GOOOOOOOOOOD LUCK gophers....what were they smoking? seriously, the guy own every record at nu for having the worst defense ever ( nearly every defensive categories)....time have passed him by....as far as hetzer transfering out, it's actually a good thing ....he was never really going to contribute anyway and most importanly it frees up a scholie....

Huge Husker Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Hetzer rocks on the little Tightend flare and is a great blocker..... On NCAA 09 Quote Link to comment
redout22 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 No loss with Hetzer. He was an enigma from the beginning. Yeah plus we are pretty set on tight ends anyway Quote Link to comment
hack Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 i have no hatred for cosgrove: it just didn't work out at nebraska and i wish him the best of luck.. hopefully, over this last year he's done some research and has come-up with some ideas further his team's success. btw; this post should probably be moved to 'other sports/college football or former huskers'.

Remember he has a family to support and none of them need or deserve all the negitivity. I wish him and his family nothing but the best.... there! No hate for Cosgrove, he seemed like a nice enough guy. But, he was making about $206,000 a year living in Lincoln. He should have saved some money at that salary for his family. Another overpaid coach. Quote Link to comment
SkullandBones Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I don't hate Cosgrove, I just don't think he's much of a coach or coordinator. His team did lose their blackshirts after all. No hard feelings though. Good luck to Kevin and the gophers..I guess.......... Quote Link to comment
illnino Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 No loss with Hetzer. He was an enigma from the beginning. Yeah plus we are pretty set on tight ends anyway I think if our tight ends wouldn't have produced like they did, the staff would have tried to keep him. But it's in the best interest for both parties to split ways now, and hopefully lands someplace where he has a better chance to contribute. Good luck Mr. Hetzer Quote Link to comment
