da skers Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Bo Pelini has said that he still has one more hire to get, he hasn't said who that is or what position. I think we can all assume its the TE coach. But it may very well be Special Teams and Defensive Line coach with the news about Papuchis Now I see where you're getting that. It was on ESPN.com. That last hire is Ganz from intern to a paid GA not another assistant coach. I think that's your confusion. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Ganzy is a swell egg. I had the chance to meet him a few weeks ago. Nice guy, unassuming, exactly the way I pictured he would be. The legend of Joe Ganz has not diminished in my eyes. Quote Link to comment

Congrats to Joey - now he can stay in Lincoln and continue to tag that hot volleyball player. EDIT: (whom I'm not allowed to post a picture of so don't ask) Quote Link to comment

I think we can all assume its the TE coach. But it may very well be Special Teams and Defensive Line coach with the news about Papuchis I don't think it's going to be a full-time assistant, but a Graduate Assistant. Joe Ganz was floating around on here a few days ago, so maybe he'll be the Offensive GA, with Ross Watson continuing as the Defensive GA. So the staff shapes up like this: HC: Bo Pelini OC/QB: Tim Beck DC/DT: Carl Pelini RB: Ron Brown WR: Rich Fisher TE: Brown/Cotton/Garrison AHC/OT: Barney Cotton OG/OC: Jon Garrison DE/RC: John Papuchis LB/ST: Ross Els DB: Corey Raymond GA: Joe Ganz GA: Ross Watson Not a flashy staff, but I trust Bo, look at Pap and Ek, I think Bo knows coaching talent when he sees it, so I'll trust his judgment on this one. Watson is done as a GA at Nebraska. The most any GA can work at one school is 3 years. Also pretty sure Pap is keeping ST responsibilities, but I'm not completely sure on that. Quote Link to comment

He's keeping the title on ST but the vast majority of the work will be done by Els. It's not an "if" but "when" the title of STC goes to Els. Probably after next season for sure when JP's title will shift again, most likely to DC when Carl gets a head coaching job. There really is a thing of beauty here with these hires. If everything goes as planned you have and understudy for Beck in Fisher, and understudy for Carl in JP. So when those guys move on to head coaching gigs you have a pretty smooth transition. I really do like Beck as OC for a few different reasons. Quote Link to comment

Wouldn't you also characterize the Garrison/Cotton relationship as understudy/trainer as well? I believe this is the first concrete step in moving Cotton up or out. 1 Quote Link to comment

Good point Knapp, time for a fresh face at the OL Coach. I truely believe that garrison will be one of the better hires from this staff reshuffle. Quote Link to comment

No. But that all depends on Cotton this year. Garrison is not on the O-line to be BC's replacement at all but more as a complement in coaching styles and teaching. But he does give us a good fall back plan. As I understand it Cotton has a pretty good attitude right now and "says" he's excited to have Garrison working on the line. So maybe part of his piss poor attitude was to underlying issues with Watson. I guess I don't know, but we'll find out. It's one thing to say something and another to actually back up those words with actions. If he starts missing mentoring sessions with other teams' coaches, Milt, Beck etc then we'll know a lot more.

I get the impression Garrison isn't just here to get his feet wet. He's the Brion Carnes to Cotton's Taylor Martinez. Cotton has the "starting gig," but if he doesn't perform, he's getting benched in favor of the hot young prospect. Quote Link to comment
kchusker_chris Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Kind of related - back when we were talking about how much it would take to get a guy like Frost in. Not only are HC salaries going through the roof - but position coaches are getting crazy amounts of money around the nation. Offensive line coach Rick Trickett got a three-year contract that will pay him $400,000 annually Florida State.

And FWIW I don't think they are looking at it like that from the little discussions I've had. Of course its harder to know when two of the best resources out there that were usually quite open to questions like this are no longer on staff. Quote Link to comment

Nah, Papuchis would not want the title if he isn't doing the job. This isn't Ted Gilmore we are talking about. If he keeps the title, he'll be doing the work. Even more when ST coordinator will not add to your job title for a guy like Papuchis who is gonna be in line for bigger jobs anyways. Nearly lost him to a few big schools this year, but thankfully he did not go. Quote Link to comment
