Pelini: No need to rush on new hire

[Nexus]

Just had a short chat with Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini regarding the open spot on his full-time coaching staff. He's not exactly panicking about filling the opening. He said if he hasn't made a hire by the time spring ball begins March 10, he and new defensive coordinator John Papuchis will combine to handle the secondary. Pelini said he'll consider candidates both inside the program and outside. The opening was created Monday when secondary coach Corey Raymond announced he was leaving to take the same position at LSU. "We're basically looking for whatever the best fit is for the program," Pelini said. "I have some guys in mind. Whatever works, works." He said he doesn't have a timetable in mind to have a coach in place. "However long it takes," he said.

Who do you guys think are some names to watch for?

I think there are 2 or 3 different threads where folks about shooting out possible names, both inside and outside the Husker program.

Wasn't in a rush and we got Paps. Just saying.

Be nice to have a DB coach by the 10th

By 2017 Papuchis is going to have every single assistant coaching job i think

Ok so this is one of my first posts however, I feel as though the words "not worried" by pelini show a big thing. I mean think about it, he probably has his hand in the DB's anyway so maybe he doesn't feel the need of a "Big Name" DB coach, HE IS ONE! Pelini knows his schemes and honestly would be smart just to coach them himself. They need to come up with a big recruiter for sure, because our connection down south just got a little smaller.

I take this to mean he already has someone picked out.

Yes, Bo does have a lot of involvement with the DBs, and every level of the defense, but he still allows his assistants to come in and make tweaks to the fundamentals and the way the position goes about doing things. We will see who Bo hires, but I'm not real worried.

It'll be interesting to see, that is for sure. I read a lot on here but never really post, good to see people don't just jump down your throat for posting haha, it seems a common trend around here.

I don't see why. As long as you don't have redtillimdead symdrome, you should be just fine.

welcome kshusk...

 

Between Bo and Pap, I'm thinking things are pretty well covered. I would like to echo the sentiment of the gentleman who said it'd be nice to have someone by the 10th...

And then he'll leave us for his alma mater.
