HANC Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 hey, I know that all of this is hypothetical and speculation....but it creates great message board conversations... and, if we can (and did) speculate on BC replacement in the middle of October, then we can speculate on the new D-coordinator. If Coach Coz bolts for the Vikes (I hope he doesn't, but who could blame him $$) who would we hire to replace him? 1. Do we stay within? We all know that this team needs continuity.... another new system would suck..... what would that be, 4 in 5 years or something like that. If we stay within: Can Blake cut the mustard as D-Coordinator....might be a way to make sure he stays on for a while...we need his recruiting..... Is there anyone else on the D-side of the ball that is capable of such a title? 2. Do we hire from the outside? If so, then who? A few guys that I like, probably would laugh in NU's face. Marvin Sanders comes to mind.....but no way in hell. Maybe we promote Blake to keep him, and hire 2 guys to come in and replace Downing and then to replace Blake as D-line....or maybe let Blake cont. d-line and bring in a position coach to replace Coz. Does Coach Roberts have a defensive background? Sounds like a great recruiter. Looking for imput here. Quote Link to comment
huskerstag Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I too hope that Cos stays in town. My first thought for d coord. would be Kevin Steele. I'm pretty sure he's only the linebackers coach at FSU. Any chance we could bring him back to NU with all of the familiar faces gone? Quote Link to comment
HANC Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 if I read the ESPN crawler correctly, we can keep specutlating.... Vikes fired d- coordinator Ted Cotrell. Quote Link to comment
NamelessHusker Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Kevin Steele is favored to take over the head coaching job after Bowden retires, and he is also executive head coach, why would he leave? Marvin Sanders is also being courted for the head coaching job if he stays on, again, no reason for him to leave. Quote Link to comment
nu4everfan15 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 this defense is gonna be stout this upcoming year... i would stay within and keep the strategies and stuff so the players can do more playing than learning a new system... Quote Link to comment
BigWillie Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 One name I hope our buddy Monte Kiffin would throw our way -- Mike Tomlin. Tomlin coaches the d-backs for the Bucs staff. He has learned under Kiffin and has done a remarkable job with the DB's for Tampa over the last 3-4 years. A young fiery coach straight from Kiffin's molding would be FANTASTIC. But I have to agree with the above. Promote somebody within so the players will not have their 4th different DC and scheme in 5 years. Quote Link to comment

BigWillie Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 HA I go read an article on BHF about Cottrell being fired by the Vikings, and who is the likely replacement for him? Mike Tomlin. Oh well, there is always Gary Gibbs from the Cowboys. Gibbs is the former OU coach and has coached top defenses at UGA and LSU in past years after his OU tenure. Quote Link to comment

BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Blake has never held the position of defensive cooridinator. Bill Busch does have a little experience as co-defensive coordinator in 1996 at Northern Arizona. Quote Link to comment
Benard Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I'm guessing we will either get a wisconsin coach or colorado coach. Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I'm guessing we will either get a wisconsin coach or colorado coach. Well, Benard, you may actually be right about something if Cosgrove stays, since he came from Wisconsin. Quote Link to comment
