bournehusker Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Not intending to start rumors or any hypotheticals but there were a number of coaches absent at practice today other than bo and carl. Obviously some were recruiting. Bo was in Orlando etc....point is are any of them gone and we just don't know? Interesting to wonder. Bo said on sports nightly he plans to move quickly with the HIRES. PLURAL .....catches the attention. Could be an interesting week. Quote Link to comment
BigBL87 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Well, I've seen/heard rumors that Brown (health) won't be returning, and that he almost didn't last year. That could be what he's referencing. Also, throughout the season I've seen it implied that Cotton may not return as a coach and may take an administrative role. Never seen either confirmed though.

tschu Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Get Cotton out of here. Quote Link to comment
ladyhawke Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Sad to hear that Brown might be going. He is such a good coach. Can you share more about his health? He's pretty young still. Quote Link to comment

What I've seen implied by people who know more than I do is that it is his back/neck. I know he had surgery within the last year or two on one of them. I'd hate to see him go, but if it's the right decision for him he needs to do it. From what I've heard, he almost didn't come back last year because of it but was talked into it. With things like your health, you can never be too careful, and I've heard it's pretty chronic pain. With as consistently correct as the person I heard it from is, I'd be very surprised to see him back next year. Quote Link to comment
strigori Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 We are coming really close to turning over all of the assistants in 4 years. If the info with Brown is right, Beck, J.P. and Cotton are all that remains, and one or possibly two won't be coaching the position they started in. Not much stability, and that really concerns me.

Danimal Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 The staff is out recruiting, this class needs catching-up on and we still have over three weeks til the bowl. . Brown may not be around a lot longer but he'll most likely be here another season anyway. Quote Link to comment

I just want to clarify, I'm just sharing what I've heard from someone who is USUALLY right about things like this. I don't have an inside source or anything. Quote Link to comment
C N Red Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Ya, Bo said in the interview that coaches were out on the road recruiting and the GAs were doing practice. Just gotta listen to the whole interview. Also reported on sports nightly was word that practice got a little chippy per Hardrick. I LOVE hearing that!! Keep things on edge and competitive!! Thats how teams get better and stay motivated and focused. Quote Link to comment

I noticed that you didn't say anything about him leaving this year being crap. Am I trying too hard to read between the lines? Quote Link to comment
Phil the Red Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I see Coach Brown still leaving for work everyday. He shows no signs at all of slowing down. He still works out like a fiend everyday, and is probably in better shape than 90% of us, for what it is worth. 1 Quote Link to comment

I think you don't know what sitting around reading message boards all day does to a body. Ha ha! Quote Link to comment
