New DB Coach Search

[I AM FOOT FOOT]

if anyone really knows why Marvin left or Carl or what ever Frankie did feel free to pm me with details

i have no clue

[Warrior10]

When do we expect to have a replacement by? I would prefer someone by the weekend.

[Minnesota_husker]

Unless it is an assistant coach who is competing with guys we have, i doubt it makes a big deal... unless it is a splash hire, you arent going to get much recruiting out of them other than an introduction--that is me assuming.

 

Can we hire one of Arizona States coaches?

Just a shuffle, ELS coached DBs at UN Omaha........so maybe he moves back, if they are keeping him.

[da skers]

Sounds like somethings are getting resolved. Not 100% yet but it's sounding more like the possibility he can come back.

Marvin?

C'mon man. Quit teasing them. It's a done deal. Just tell 'em .

I am not going to get into what may or may not have happened on Marvin's departure, but I do know that he and Ron Brown were the only 2 guys that I desperately wanted Bo to hire and to keep on staff forever. In fact, I would have been fine with either one of them eventually becoming HC material.

 

As mentioned on 1620, Marvin and Bo are very, very close, but Marvin is in California in a very good situation, making good money, living near beach......... would he be interested in coming back to a place where the HC is pressumably on the hot-seat going into next year ? Marvin may say thanks but no thanks.....sit back, coach big time HS in Cally, enjoy weather.

 

I would love Marvin, just not sure it will happen. Although many so-called media close to Husker football keep throwing his name around.

 

If Nebraska wants Sanders & we can't beat out a high school team for his services, then there's a serious problem.

I hope, if it is a "proven" guy it is Sanders. Our pass D was incredible during his tenure. It also helped have NFL talent across the board. I liked his physical style of DB play. It really helps our pass D when WR's and TE's are knocked off their routes, onto the ground or out of bounds. I remember Raymond saying "that type of play" won't work in the B1G as it will draw flags. I then watched our first year in as our DB's got knocked around. After a few years in the B1G, I have also come to realize that the refs don't have flags. If they do, they are used sparingly as if only so many are allowed per game...........

There is a certain quality of life that Marvin may enjoy in California. There is a reason 8 kajillion people live there.

[AngryHusker88]

And theres also money, & I don't see how he could possibly be making nearly as much at a high school as he would coaching at Nebraska. Sanders has already proven himself as a competent DB coach, if we had to pay him a little extra he's worth it

edit...I deleted the snarky comment I had here..

I am sure he would make more money at Nebraska, but he probably makes good money as a high school coach in Cali. I know that many of the top high school coaches in Texas make 6-figures, and they just coach football, there is no teaching aspect to it.

 

I am playing devil's advocate, but maybe Marvin enjoys the stability that being a high school coach can offer. A college football coach has a huge time requirement, traveling around recruiting kids, and other factors that Sanders may be just sick of that grind. He could have a good life and ride off into the sunset as high school coach in Cali.

[AngryHusker88]

If he's currently making 6 figures I suppose he would have reason to stay in California...I didn't know that some high school football coaches make 6 figures...

Let's get down to Brass tax! Who's marvelous Marvin bringing with him? Does he have a couple Deion Sanders type DBs at his current school? Is there any D1 talent on his roster that we instantly become intriguing to with our hiring of Marvin the Magnificent? Anyone in the know please elaborate!
