Ed Helms Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 If Joseph does leave, a few names to look at that have a Bo Pelini connection include: Ross Watson (current Florida Atlantic DB coach) (former Husker GA under Pelini) Lionel Washington (current Tulane DB coach/Co-Defensive Coordinator) (coached with Pelini in Green Bay) Bradley Dale Peveto (current Safety coach/Special Teams Coordinator at Kentucky) (coached with Pelini at LSU) I have no idea if any of these guys would be considered by Bo if Joseph were to leave, but just three guys that have coached with Pelini in the past. Out of these 3, I really like Lionel Washington, another guy with a Southern presence when it comes to recruiting and has a lot of NFL experience prior to coaching at Tulane. Not sure if we could lure him away from his alma mater and his position as a Co-DC, but maybe we'd offer him a significant pay raise. Link to comment
lo country Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Mods if this needs to be moved to rumors feel free. People reporting that Joseph is going/talking with A&M about going their as DB coach. Hmm............ http://www.cornnatio...ng-to-texas-a-m Article speculates instability playing a part. Also says that perhaps Bo and Co do a counter. Maybe allow him to be DB and recruiting coordinator and allow Els to concentrate in LB's and ST? Pay raise? One on the staff I do not want to see leave.......... If true, thoughts to replace him? Former Husker? Now that TO is gone, bring Sanders back? (I know that ship has sailed) Link to comment
theknife Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Seriously, the last thing we need is turnover on the defensive side of the ball. 3 Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 My hope is they would try to get Duane Akina from Texas, think there would be interest on both sides I wouldn't mind this hire if we can't keep Coach Joseph. Akina has coached quite a bit of talent and would have good inroads to Texas for recruiting. Link to comment
knapplc Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 If you read through Damon Benning's twitter feed he's pretty blase about this. Good quote: "Everybody's an adult here w/ coaching changes. NU is prepared" If Damon ain't worried, I ain't worried. Link to comment

Akina has coached quite a bit of talent and would have good inroads to Texas for recruiting. Problem is he has no connection to bo, so doubt it would happen, even though I think he needs to get over that and hire the best person for the job How about move Ron Brown to DB coach and hire damon benning as RB coach Link to comment
jkstlrnu1 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Probably WAYYYY out on a limb here, but a defensive mind with Neb ties. Would Joe Moglia be a consideration. I know going from HC @ Coastal Carolina to DB coach @ NU may not seem like a move upwards, but it's not like the dude would need a huge contract. Just my .02 & the guy is gonna be a hot commodity in the coaching ranks. I say throw it out there & see what happens. Bash away 1 Link to comment
swmohusker Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Whoever coaches our dbs will be fine bc bo will have the final say on how it is done. look how hot of a commodity each db coach we hire becomes. They leave for USC, a and m, and LSU. We would be alright. I hope we keep him for.continuity reasons. If we lose him let's go after a stud recruiter from the south. Preferably Florida.

74Hunter Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Seriously, the last thing we need is turnover on the defensive side of the ball. Agreed. If not, I'd really like to see Marvin back, now that TO is not in charge. Or how about Ron Zook?? If it's not Marvin or Zook, I wouldn't be shocked if is was one of the guys that Ed Helms talked of. Seems like Bo's MO. I don't think that Bill Busch is a good coach, but he is a good recruiter. Link to comment
theknife Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Let's not forget his connections to recruiting in Louisiana Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 If we can get Zook to come here as a position coach and not a coordinator that is a huge win for us Link to comment

Savage Husker Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 With Bo making his assistants off limits to media, I believe he has been prepared for this situation in particular. That was a good proactive decision protecting his assistants from the media onslaught that has happened in the past. Link to comment
True2tRA Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Well. That's that. Good luck to him. Now come on Big Red, let's get a good one in here. Most of all, a good recruiter. Do we lose any current commits due to this? Link to comment
