BigWillie Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Let's hope there's no collateral recruiting damage. Unfortunately, this is pretty common. It is especially common with coaches who are asked to stay through signing day to preserve recruits for School A before taking their new job at School B. Not the case with Marvin, but you get the idea. One thing though - this should be an example of why it is not always good to try to break a story. Recruits read the rumors and hear the stories just as well as anyone. Two days before signing day and everyone wants to talk about 4 of our coaches leaving? Even if the story is 100% correct, no one gains a thing by that leaking out and only potentially hurts us and our recruiting efforts. Imagine how a rival school can use a story like that against us to sway a kid last minute. 1 Quote Link to comment

zoogs Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 This sounds like a media/PR mess for Bo. Someone didn't coordinate this well with Kevin Wilson. Announced and out there from the Indiana end, nothing on Nebraska's end, with the explicit stance of no talk about anything but recruits today. I want to see this presser from Kevin Wilson. Anyone want to track it down and link to it? 1620 is saying that Raymond will coach the secondary at Nebraska. Exactly. What is Bo gonna do come out and deny it? This will be the first question asked in the teleconference. And I think Kevin Wilson has no reason to coordinate this with NU. He was probably asked the question and gave the answer. This is blowing up in Bo's face for staying so mum on the situation in my opinion. yes, that can be good during this huge day, but all recruits should know what the situation with the staff is. And I think they all do. Kinda like the saying karma can be a biatch I think that Kevin should be announcing his coach is gone, if it's the case, but he has no business telling the world what post he is taking at Nebraska. Save that announcement for us to make. At least, Bo could have made that request. In my opinion. Quote Link to comment

Could be interesting in a few years if Wilson gets Indiana turned around, between the Big 12 OU\NU links, Ekeler and Raymond? Might be a fun game Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Wow, someone had the balls to ask the Corey Raymond question. And Bo has the BALLS to say he hasn't hired anyone lately or made any staff changes. Even tried to suggest it has to do with the defensive staff opening (LBs) he's had for a while. Does Bo not realize what Tom Wilson said? This is starting to get embarrassing. Quote Link to comment

mitch7 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Bo is there to talk recruiting, not coaching changes. I think he made that clear. Plus I wouldn't expect him to comment until the Athletic Department speaks. Quote Link to comment

PaulCrewe Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 This needs to be addressed. Bo slightly beat around the bush with it. Props to the Omaha World Herald for trying to get answers Quote Link to comment
kchusker_chris Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 "You haven't talked to us for 5 weeks" "We don't want to wait until spring practice to find out" - he definately knows Wilson announced it now... and just said "there's definately been no one hired here at nebraska" Anyone fired: "No." Quote Link to comment
mitch7 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I personally think the OWH guy needs to stop probing. I understand he is trying to do his job, but Bo is doing his job as well. For all we know he was told not to comment on it. Quote Link to comment
kchusker_chris Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 there were 3 or 4 different guys probing. They (we) know as much about the recruits as Bo does - that's not news. Staff changes...that's news. 1 Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I am sorry, but this needed to be addressed TODAY. The cat is out of the damn bag. They recruits should have been in the know otherwise it kinda goes against everything Bo stresses when it comes to recruiting. Being open, straight forward, and being sure of a commitment. This is utter BS. 3 Quote Link to comment

If true this really sucks, i wonder what made Marvin want t leave? Ya idk. Something is going on though. The friend also said that marvin would stay on the payroll for another six months or something like that. I guess i dont understand how u can still get paid from the university if you resign? we will see if he knows what he is talking about soon. Quote Link to comment
