kchusker_chris Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Tim Cassidy is a name people are throwing around as a great hire for this spot. Wouldn't be too bad. Don't think it needs to be a "recruiter" - I'm sure its more of just a logistical person. Someone that organizes, manages, and coordinates the process. Probably doesn't have to be able to evaluate talent, or sell a mother on Nebraska Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Tim Cassidy is a name people are throwing around as a great hire for this spot. He would come along with numerous Texas connections. Combine that with our already rich Ohio connections, that could be a good choice. Quote Link to comment

Yes we do and I would gladly accept it. Indeed. What other role? Special teams coach? DB coach? Maybe. But our special teams and DBs are doing pretty well. I can't think of anything else I'd want Zook for. Surely you can't mean head coach? Quote Link to comment

I can't think of anything else I'd want Zook for. Surely you can't mean head coach? He's been coaching defenses since before I was born, both in a position coach role and a coordinator role (8 yrs total). He's a hell of a recruiter, and has HC experience (something we certainly lack on the staff). Sounds like a pretty solid defensive coordinator candidate to me. Or we could just promote someone w/ no experience that will bow to Bo. That's worked well for us thus far. Quote Link to comment

Even though his defenses at Illinois were nothing to write home about. I thought you were suggesting Zook as a head coach candidate. I don't think that would move us in the right direction.

(I just hope the proof doesn't come tomorrow. LOL) Quote Link to comment
