TITANIC VS LUSITANIA Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 This is an article summarizing Tom Herman's career and his regarded status as a QB guru. I was surprised so see this detail mentioned: As for Herman, he credits long-time Mike Riley assistant Danny Langsdorf, the current Nebraska OC/QB coach, for sharing his insight with him. "He was a young coach when I was playing at Cal Lutheran, and I knew [Langsdorf] well enough where I could really pick his brain after he spoke at a clinic at Oregon State on drills," Herman said. "I liked a lot of his drills. And I'll never forget he said, 'Always, always, always make your drills simulate what you're going to see in the game.' "No offense to [QB guru] George [Whitfield], but you don't see brooms in the game. So, if a kid is having trouble flushing to his right, do everything you can the next week to simulate the scenario that caused him to have problems so you can get it right. Who cares about the cones and the bags? If it simulates to what the kid is feeling on a Saturday, then you've got a good drill." http://www.foxsports.com/college-football/story/houston-cougars-ohio-state-buckeyes-tom-herman-qb-guru-043015 5 Quote Link to comment
TonyStalloni Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I would say we are in good hands. Our QB's should feel lucky to work under his coaching. Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Does he seem like the HC in waiting to you guys? Quote Link to comment

teachercd Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 This is one of those things that is hard to do. Doing drills that are useful and "game like" are not easy to come up with...90% of my drills are useless! 1 Quote Link to comment
husker98 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Does he seem like the HC in waiting to you guys? Very well could be. I kinda get that vibe as well. However we need too see how this Riley experiment shakes out before we start speculating on his successor. Love having Langsdorf here though, He is the kind of coach we have needed these past few years. Quote Link to comment

But Langsdorf would give the fans the opportunity about hiring a coach "who has never been a head coach before"'!!! Also we haven't brought in Scott Frost yet to be "coach in waiting".

Ed Helms Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I really like Coach Langsdorf. Hope fans don't crucify him this first year if the offense struggles. Quote Link to comment
