KansasHusker Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I have a feeling that he will take this job...makes me wonder ahead of time who else to bring in. and i have the opposite. i'm thinking he's gonna stay. again, gut feeling. i'm thinking that he wants to see how this defense develops. hope your right, this team is really close it seems like...hope it stays that way with coz making the calls.

Pedro Guerrero Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 How many of you would switch Jobs if the offer was Double the Pay Less Work Less Pressure Where do I sign up? You can't really fault a guy for doing this if he does actually decide to go. Quote Link to comment
Bring Out The Gimp Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I'm thinking Coz is gone. There is no way he turns down that job for twice as much $$. Plus its not like Nebraska fans and media have given him any respect. I'd like to see Blake take over as D-Coordinator otherwise I think he is the next to start getting offers. This is going to be the problem with running pro style offense and defense and winning. Our coaches will probably turn over every few years. Quote Link to comment
HANC Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I hope that I am not falsely reporting, but if I read the ESPN crawler correctly, the Vikes fired Ted Cotrell as d-coord.....meaning this is heating up. Quote Link to comment
racingvike Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 The Vikes fired most of the remaining assistants today. Nothing alarming. I think there were 11 total. 4 more are being held over for interviews with the new staff. Cottrell was horrible anyway, and was called out by a couple players half way through the season for running a terrible defensive scheme, so don't read too much into it. Quote Link to comment
NamelessHusker Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Not a good time for this. We have already had 3 DC's in the last 5 years. Can you imagine working for a company that keeps moving you around every 5 years to a new location. This always has a lasting effect on players in a system Quote Link to comment
racingvike Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 Sources say Tomlin to the Vikes is a done deal. Should be announced tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Who's Tomlin? Another D-cord Quote Link to comment
HuskerInKC16 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Sources say Tomlin to the Vikes is a done deal. Should be announced tomorrow. Yes Tomlin to the Vikes as the D-COORDINATOR....but they are looking at Coz as the linebackers coach. Quote Link to comment
BigWillie Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Tomlin is a fantastic hire for the Vikes. He's one of those guy in a few years you will see getting a HC gig. He's really that good. Young and fiery, under the teachings of Monte Kiffin. What more could you want? Quote Link to comment
nu4everfan15 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 the vikings could be a good team... they have most of the parts to be a contender. w/ out the off the field issues i see them in the playoffs next year if the coaching change goes over well Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 the vikings could be a good team... they have most of the parts to be a contender. w/ out the off the field issues i see them in the playoffs next year if the coaching change goes over well They have playmakers everywhere on that team, they need good coaches. Tice was a friggin joke and now that McCombs cheap ass sold the team to someone who cares more about winning than about staying $20 million under the salary cap, the team is going to shoot straight up. I like the Childress hire and from what I am hearing, this Tomlin fella seems like he will do well also. But anyways, back to Cosgrove... If the Vikes are gonna offer him 400,000 and he is strongly considering it, the University should pony up enough dough to keep him here. Cosgrove made huge strides this season with the defense with a very inexperienced secondary and a middle linebacker that had hardly ever seen the field. I want to see what he can do with a couple more years. Quote Link to comment

Cosgrove made huge strides this season with the defense with a very inexperienced secondary and a middle linebacker that had hardly ever seen the field. I want to see what he can do with a couple more years. This is exactly what I was thinking. Coz is pry just waiting for the university to give him a pay raise (much like worked for Nutt a couple years back) now that his name is being specualted for other jobs. My personal opinion is if NU matches or at least comes close to the Vikings offer, Coz will stay. If he really wants to be a college head coach, I think that helping the Huskers return to "power" will help his chances more than being a position coach in the NFL. Quote Link to comment
BigWillie Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Pony up how much though? IIRC, Cosgrove is already among the highest paid assistants in all of CFB. Quote Link to comment

Maybe so, but I remember Pelini made $250,000 in his one year. They should offer him at least that, all the way up to $300,000, a good enough raise to know that he is wanted here.
