QMany Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Wait, we have the second-highest paid DB coach in the nation?!? So much for "not opening the checkbook" I hope we get a reasonable rate of return... Quote Link to comment

cm husker Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 not surprising on two fronts: 1. Why would an assistant NOT look to move to an HC position? 2. It's not at all suprrising that this particular assistant is trying to jump. Looking at his resume, has he ever spent more than 1 to 3 years with a program? Quote Link to comment
cm husker Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Its actually a good thing when your coaches are wanted by other programs. It means that you made a good hire. It's a bad thing when no one on the same level wants your coaches & for them to find a new job they have to go down a level & take a huge paycut. This strikes me as the same flawed logic as: "the only elite recruits are those who will make it to the NFL." Obviously there are myriad of circumstances, both personal and professional, that lead to when a coach leaves and where he lands. More broadly, though, Nebraska should not be in the business of trying to employ the "plug and play" model for assistant coaching hires. A coaching staff's dynamic is extremely important, and some personality, such as Ogeron's, may not have fit in with what Riley was trying to do with his staff. The same applies guys like John Blake and many other "assistant recruiters." This is why I never criticized Bo for hiring assistants with whom he was familiar and had trained and I don't criticize the hiring of or call for the specific firing of Riley's assistants.

This strikes me as the same flawed logic as: "the only elite recruits are those who will make it to the NFL." Not really. The more logical comparison is that everyone wants the elite recruits and the elite coaches, but no one is sure how they will perform at the next level until they do so. Either way, it's nice to be wanted. Coaches who don't excel at that next level have many places to fall back, kick around and try again. Players, not so much. I don't think many people begrudge the hot high school recruits who go on to have solid college careers, but never quite make the transition to the NFL. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 This would be the LEAST surprising thing. Remember, the DB vacancy opened only because Charlton Warren decided he wanted to be closer to family (or whatever). That was late in the game, and it may have been even after Signing Day. Stewart was a B1G DC or co-DC at Maryland. I never thought he was coming here to stay long, but it was cool that Nebraska was able to get him. If this is his only year, I don't think he'll leave having made a super strong impression. I kinda want to see him get a second go here, but at this point I'm half-excited to see who else might come on board. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Merged two threads. As I noted earlier, "interviewed" is a bit strong. He was contacted by a search firm. Doesn't sound like it will go any farther than that. Quote Link to comment
caveman99 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Would be a big loss. One of the better recruiters on staff. Also like how the DB's improved as the year went on Not sold on his recruiting, he isn't one of the ones mentioned by the players. Quote Link to comment

JJ Husker Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I guess I'll take everyone's word that he is a good DB coach. Lord knows it didn't show in our secondary this season. I primarily fault Banker for that but I sure didn't notice any outstanding technique back there either. /shrug Quote Link to comment
