Fuzzy Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 No doubt, our young staff has the potential to become elite. Most of the guys who have left under Bo Pelini have taken a step up. Marvin Sanders is coaching at South Carolina, Ted Gilmore is at USC, Joseph went to LSU after just one year at Nebraska. Eckler is the DC at Indiana. Carl Pelini got the head coaching job at FAU. Shawn Watson went to coach the QB at Louisville, but that is more of a demotion. Quote Link to comment
admo Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Thought 2 Pelinis are better than one... It's too soon to tell. But I liked Carl. Quote Link to comment
3rd and long Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 At this early stage, I would say our defense is worse, but not due to anybody on the sideline. I think our defense was just as bad last year, except for the fact that LaVonte David bailed us out on far too many occasions to count. He made so many plays that realistically he had no business making. I think without him our D would have looked every bit as bad last year as it has for these first two games. Someone in a earlier thread rating our units actually said they thought our LB corp would be better. Quote Link to comment
MichiganDad3 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 The defense had a significant change for the worse when we lost Sanders. Is there any possible way to get him back? Quote Link to comment
Junior Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Maybe, maybe not. Far too early to say with any certainty. I do wish, however, that Nebraska would stop being a place for first-time coordinators to learn on the job. 1 Quote Link to comment

No.and as far as I'm aware that isn't a football or athletic department reason, it's a university legal one. Quote Link to comment

It was called chronic "zipper atrophy.” Quote Link to comment
