they can have watson and gilmore, i want brown to stay, and be the wide out coach.

I'd say it's a bunch of crap. Do you know how many good jobs Brown passed on back in the day? He quit coaching to stay with his ministry here when BC canned him. He could've definitely found a coaching job elsewhere. Brown is here for good.

Did they have va link on there forums? Cus per this forum watson is out and mangino will be our oc without a link I wouldn't put too much faith in it.

RON BROWN?! Of all people?! Why?

This will be interesting to following. As I mentioned on the board, I was able to sit down and have a 2 hour conversation with Coach Brown. What a great guy. He absolutely LOVES Nebraska and said it was a no brainer to come "home" when Coach Bo asked him to come back. He said that he and his family consider Nebraska their "home". He also spoke highly of Bo.

 

On the other hand, he told story after story involving Gill, and mentioned the fact that he loved Turner and that Turner was one of his favorite people in the world.

 

This could be worth some investigating.

 

Man, I hope that this isn't true.

Ron and Turner have known each other for 30 years and I beleve they share many of the same values. I don't think it would surprise me to see him leave for KU but I would hate to see it happen.

Vuren, I don't have a Scout account. Did this information seem like a valid conclusion or more speculation?

Exactly. I wouldn't be surprised, but I would prefer he stays home. He belongs here.

Today's Omaha paper had a great article on Coach Gill. And other than a few people from Buffalo, the only "significant" people interviewed for the article were Gill's father, wife Gayle, and ..........yup.......... "very close friend" Ron Brown.

 

I think that these guys are "two peas in a pod". They both share the same values. They put their lives in God's hands and they travel the same path. I believe that in my conversation with Coach Brown, he said something to the effect that he and Turner speak at least once a week if not more.

 

Wouldn't suprise me one bit to see them on the same staff. Man that would suck !!! Two of my favorite coaches in the world, coaching and recruiting against NU.

 

Dadgummit.

couldn't quite tell, i think the only way we keep brown though is to tell mr "i don't wanna recruit" gillmore to hit the road and let brown take over WR and TE.

From everything I know about Coach Brown, that's not a stipulation at all in his mind. He's worried about the culture of the program and making these kids into men.

 

Don't take him from us, Coach Gill. Don't do it.

I hope its not true.

BUT due to Mr Pelini's creative and colorful language (not criticizing just making a point) I wouldn't be suprised it it happened.

I hope this is a joke. If not, you don't know much about just about every other coach we had aside from TO back in the 90s.
