QMany Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Travis J Morgan @TravMorgan9 48m48 minutes ago A source close to the program tells me #Huskers will announce Jim Tressel as the new head coach on Saturday, with Frost as OC/Ass. HC. #GBR Travis J Morgan: Marketing Director at WinnaVegas Casino Resort. Former TV Sports Broadcaster. From Walthill, Nebraska (Population: 850). Quote Link to comment
URSS Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Reading that the decision might come on Sunday. So more than likely the next coach is still coaching yet this weekend. RIGHT?? (...) If not, and you have your guy, why not announce now? Isn't there the 7-day job opening posted period, or 10 days, or whatever it is? That's probably it. Sunday would make 7 days exactly since Bo's firing. Reading that the decision might come on Sunday. So more than likely the next coach is still coaching yet this weekend. RIGHT?? (...)

Sunday would make 7 days exactly since Bo's firing. I read on another post that Eichorst is not taking calls from coaches interested in the job. There is no recruiter firm helping him and few rumors from the Athletic Dept about who may be under consideration. Maybe it all means, that Eichhorst has a man lined up now and is waiting for the job opening window to expire? I would like to know because I am curious and am also worried about the impact on recruiting. Quote Link to comment

I can't remember who. But someone reported yesterday they were watching the planes. A private jet owned by a major Nebraska donor landed yesterday afternoon in Columbus Ohio. Dont know how credible the person is however Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I know I dare not say it in the Sock thread, but I just can't see Tressel coming. With Eichorst talking about values and such at the presser, I find it hard to beleive that it will be Tressel. Add to that no one in the Nebraska media seems to be getting behind it, it just seems too far fetched. Quote Link to comment

Dont know how credible the person is however Guys, Jim Tressel does NOT live in Columbus. Tressel lives in Youngstown in the Presidents house. You guys can watch planes all you want, but anything going on in Columbus is irrelevant at this point. Tressel lives in Youngstown, so unless you see flights in/out of Youngstown or Akron Canton this is all moot. Quote Link to comment

Red Five Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 New guy here... Surprised there hasn't been much chatter on Wittingham from Utah. Heh. Just saw that Bruce Feldman mentioned him as a "strong candidate" on the Dan Patrick show. Quote Link to comment
onlyHskrfaninIL Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 HC: Alabama offensive coordinator, Lane Kiffin? Perhaps he's matured and learned a bit in his travels. Might his dad, Monte Kiffin want to return to the Nebraska DC job to work with his son? The problem is that Alabama is going to be playing yet for weeks (likely). I'm not clear on how soon one can poach and announce another coach in that situation. Quote Link to comment
BartonHusker Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Was just going to state that myself, not enough people talking about Wittingham as an legit option. Very good hard nosed head coach that has great ties to both Texas and Florida. Much like Patterson at TCU, he had to move his program from the MWC to a P-5 conference. Took some adjusting but he is getting it back up to the top again. Wisconsin made a similar hire in going out to Utah and grabbing Gary Anderson (was Wittingham's DC when they went 13-0). They are very similar type of coaches in make-up. Quote Link to comment
bdubb75 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I highly doubt it will be Tressel. He's not "eligible" until 2016 unless the hiring team can "show cause" as to why he should be hired. Not to mention, if he is hired, he has to sit out at least the first 5 games (and he's 62). That doesn't sound like a good hire if it does happen. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 FootballScoop Staff retweeted Dave Biddle @davebiddle 1m1 minute ago Good source here. RT @DustinFox37: Once and for all. Tressel is NOT going to Nebraska. 100 percent confirmed. You can bank that! Quote Link to comment
bdubb75 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I hope it's Whittingham. I think he's the best case scenario right now. Quote Link to comment
