Hayseed Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Always liked him......I assume if we contacted him it's to be the DC. Quote Link to comment
Redman Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 His wife is the biggest hang up to him coming back.... Knappp or Zoogies could be sweet to her and convince her, you know, build her a cake or something. Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I have been saying that for years. The current big dogs do it different. Bama is the mother ship on this. You get Steele here, we can come back quickly. He knows the ropes, how to sell, who to sell (MOM) and who to make adequate (DAD). He is making that money because of the recruiting side, period. Never seen, but hear about it all the time on, yea I know the Finebaum show, but not from Paul, but people working with in that system. Nebraska can do this, especially with the Big 10 money coming in. We most likely need to spend another 20% due to location. Anxious to see what the staff ends up looking like. Does the University have the money I always hear they have. After the last two buyouts, will they want to spend what they need to compete with the OSU's, Ala"s. Would they let Riley put together a staff the size of say, Ala. Didn't Bo just get the use of a Jet last year. Would think some of the other big program would have had one long before Neb did. Just seemed to me that the university was tight with the buck, for a long time. GBR!!! yeah, we shall see if Pearlman/Eichorst will spend the money.......if they don't this hire will fail...

skersfan Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Doubtful. He would have a position job as a secondary. Would run recruiting. Really a full time job to build what is needed. More so than at Bama I would think. As things change in college football, recruiting salaries/jobs are going to increase in numbers/importance/salaries. We could be a leader in that if worked properly. Quote Link to comment
RedRedJarvisRedwine Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Contacted? Through a personal ad or personal AD? This would be an epic hire. Would have to crack the million dollar mark on this one, I would presume. My guess is he was contacted via email. It's what we do! 1 Quote Link to comment

theknife Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Regarding the 700k, if we want to compete with the top programs, espically when we are trying to regain our standing amongst the elites, it's adventageous to open the check book. Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Exactly knife. If we are going to compete with programs in recruiting hotbeds, we need to pay more than they do (not to the players of course) for the top recruiters. We can be the best team in the big ten and still struggle to beat the top SEC school because at the end of the day they currently have way more talent. Quote Link to comment

gtsum2 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 700k for a LB coach...I am way anti SEC, but they way they do it (spending the money), it is no wonder all other conferences are well behind (aside from proximity to talent of course). These hires and their salaries will be interesting to see...like noted in another thread Huskers salaries would have been 10th in the SEC or something like that??? Any hopes of getting back into the elite group needs to start with paying people the money to come here and coach (assuming of course a cohesive unit can be had by hiring all superstars????)

Dr. Strangelove Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Looks like we got a lb coach already, Todd bray Trent Bray Hmm. I'm hoping that not many more of his former staff is brought over. Nebraska needs monster assistants. Ed O, Steele... etc. The old OSU staff isn't what I'm looking for. Quote Link to comment

Haspula Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Dont know if Steele as a DC is a good idea. As a recruiter yes, but he's already been fired as DC. Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I am certainly not qualified to select coaches, but have to admit I am underwhelmed with this hire. If Coach Riley brings his whole staff, I will be very concerned. Need quality recruiters more than anything else, talent makes coaches. Quote Link to comment
