knapplc Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 How much heat is Watson under? Is he under enough heat that he knows, or thinks he knows, that he's out of here after the season? I know Watson spearheaded the recruiting of Tyler Gabbert. Who recruited Curtis Carter? If it was Watson, or a Watson protege, I think we may be getting our signals that there's change in the air.

irafreak Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Maybe all the recruits decommitting view all our "fire watson" threads. Quote Link to comment
EZ-E Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Believe it was Gilmore recruiting Curtis Carter. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Yep, that looks correct, EZ-E. Gilmore was also a holdover from the Callahan Era, and he's also in charge of wide receivers. Hmm.... curioser and curioser. Quote Link to comment

Hmm.... curioser and curioser. Knapplc . . . with Hardrick committing your hypo looks a bit more likely. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Has that been confirmed? I've seen that both Hardrick and Lavonte David have committed to NU, but it's all rumor. Quote Link to comment
mitch7 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Rivals confirmed the two committs Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Was that on the message board or the Rivals reporter dudes? Quote Link to comment
Husker Runner Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 1620 reported it a while ago and they are listed as commits on the Rivals page. Quote Link to comment
HuskerNMO Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Would Nebraska pay for coaches to fly into their homes to talk to them if they were about to be fired? No, all of the coaching staff will be back. Quote Link to comment
carlfense Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Was that on the message board or the Rivals reporter dudes? Confirmed on Rivals. Quote Link to comment

If this was true (which it most certainly isn't) then good riddance to the fools who make their decisions based on internet rumors and message board banter. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 A "source close to the situation" told me tonight that Watson is not gone. Not at this point. There's more that I cannot talk about right now. Nothing is set in stone at this time. I guess what I can say is, there will be an evaluation and a decision on a direction coming up at a later date. Reading into that, my speculation is that the direction we're going in won't include the skills guys like Gabbert and Carter possess, they were made aware of the situation, and they've moved on because of that. I think we're being pretty far above-board with these guys, giving them the chance to make a better decision for themselves, a more informed decision. And that's what I would expect from Nebraska, so it seems to fit. Quote Link to comment
huskers1 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Did they give a timeline, like before the bowl or after the bowl when a decision will be made on Wats or any other coach? Quote Link to comment

Pure power running/play action? I'm intrigued. Quote Link to comment
