HC: Bob Devaney DC: Carl and Bo as co-DCs OC: Jay Norvell Not sure who I’d staff at the various assistant coaching positions. Jay Norvell???? You're joking, right? For DC's I could see a 3 way fight between Bo, Monte, and Charlie McBride (he was okay, too, ya know). John Blake as recruiting coordinator? I'm not so sure about that. While the guy could probably sell ice to an Eskimo, the "talent" brought in while he was here never turned out to be much. Dr. Tom was a much, much, MUCH better evaluator of talent than John Blake ever was. But he would be the best OC we could have, so he might have to wear 2 hats. Quote Link to comment

I think the guy is a good coach and I liked the offenses he put on the field. In 2006 Norvell had NU’s offense ranked 14th nationally. I don’t know if you remember the Callahan years, but our offense wasn’t the problem. Norvell even had OU ranked 23rd in total offense last season—--with RS freshman Landry Jones at QB, a committee of RBs, and a whole new set of WRs from the year before. Who would you choose instead? You’ve said who you don’t like. Are there any NU coaches who you do like? Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I thought Kevin Wilson was the OC at OU. Quote Link to comment

You’ve said who you don’t like. Are there any NU coaches who you do like? Unfortunately, I remember that Callahan was the coach here, but I don't remember alot of specifics. I do remember that the offense pretty well sucked most of the time. Just briefly looking through his 3 years here as "OC," NU averaged under 30 points per game (maybe someone can help me here?), but I remember games where the offense struggled mightily against powerhouses like Maine and ISU. Or games against OU or USC where the offense never did anything. Norvell is the WR coach and I guess the co-OC at OU. Besides, he was OC in name only here, Callahan called the plays. I'm not sure if you remember, but the West Coast Offense at Nebraska never worked well and WAS a problem. Yes, there were a few games sprinkled in here and there that were gems (usually against Div-1 AA opponents), but for the most part, it was junk, no matter who the coach was: Callahan, Norvell, or Watson. Go back and look at the stats and scores from 04-07, less than impressive. Dr. Tom is the best OC NU has ever had. I would bet the farm that he could put together a offense that would score 40 points per game, easily. Quote Link to comment

I would bet the farm that he could put together a offense that would score 40 points per game, easily. That’s the thing. A lot of folks don’t remember that we had a pretty good offense under Callahan. At least, during his final two years. The first two years pretty much sucked, both on offense, and to a lesser extent defense (2005 defense wasn’t too bad). But by 2006-2007 our offenses were pretty good. But our defenses sucked. Big time. The 2007 Blackshorts defense may have been the worst defense ever for NU—but the offense was pretty good. In 2007 we scored 31 on #1 ranked USC and scored 39 on #8 ranked KU, but got beat soundly both times. Look at the CU game: We hung a half a hundert on CU in Boulder—And they beat us! (51-65). Not the offenses fault in any of those three losses. Consider the overall offense and defensive ranking for our last two years of Callahan: 2006 total offense: 14 2006 total defense: 56 2007 total offense: 9 2007 total defense: 112 Our defense sucked. Our offense was pretty good. As for TO being the offensive coordinator, I wouldn’t say that’s a bad choice at all. Dr. Osborne built one of the most potent offenses in the history of college football—The 1983 Scoring Explosion. His offenses from the middle 90’s were very good, but maybe not great. The great Blackshirt defenses 92-95 helped out our offenses considerably. But I would prefer an offense that can pass as well as run. That’s why I gave Norvell the nod. Quote Link to comment

It did rack up big stats at garbage time though (when we were getting slaughtered like stuck pigs). HC = Devaney OC = TO DC = Bo rb = Solich db = Sanders Oline = uncle Milt rc = Busch (a recruiting machine.....one "one" and only Cally guy I want) DL = Carl lb = Hmmm....what was his name?...who had Murtaugh and those animals back then? wrs = Brown Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I think it must be noted that in 2007 our offense gift wrapped 35 points and handed them to KU as a direct result of 4 INT's and 1 fumble. It must also be noted that 21 of the 31 points scored against USC came in the 4th quarter. It was 42 to 10 heading into the 4th quarter when USC handpicked 25 soccer moms from the stands to play the remaining quarter. It must also be noted that our offense in 2007 handed CU 3 INT's resulting in points. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Our 2006 defense was far from bad. We held Oklahoma, Texas and Auburn all to less than 20 points (21 for OU). Quote Link to comment
