BoNeyard Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Nebraska was 19th in total defense this year but FWIW, played 8 of their 12 regular season games against schools in the bottom half of the country in offense. Wisconsin 64th Northwestern 67th Maryland 82nd Purdue 91st Minnesota 94th Iowa 117th Fresno State 122nd Illinois 125nd Good research...the context helps. Banker would still be here if Nebraska had not gotten blown out against OSU and Iowa (in my opinion). Had we lost close games he is still here. It's an unsettling feeling for a head coach when his team looks completely clueless as we did against OSU. Yep and to finish the year off letting Tennessee do whatever they pleased on offense.

I think it needs to be filled ASAP. Some potential guys we could have gone after have just signed with other teams or had their contracts extended. Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 When do you think this position will be filled? I'm guessing mid to late next week. Needs to be sooner rather than later if he expects the new DC to hit the ground running in recruiting. Quote Link to comment
tattooedhusker Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 My bet is Monday Quote Link to comment
Savage Husker Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Kris Richard.....USC Alum...young.......we have alot of talent in the back end. I've heard a rumor/tease that he may be leaving Seattle for another gig, but don't know why he'd leave a NFL DC job under his former college coach for a college DC job. Quote Link to comment
ladyhawke Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Here are the Top 10 DC's in college football today according to Bleacher Report ( I know, I know) but the list is intriguing. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2649110-10-best-defensive-coordinators-in-college-football/page/11 Quote Link to comment
Xmas32 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Dream Hire would be Don Brown, Michigan's D Coordinator that was at BC for a ton of years. Nasty, nasty defense. I love me some Bob Shoop or Geoff Collins too. Not shocking hire would be someone like Clancy Pendergast who has been a mixed NFL and college D Coordinator that is currently at USC. I've seen Tosh Lupoi mentioned who would be a fireball recruiter. Alot depends on if Justin Wilcox gets the Cal job. Wilcox probably takes Lupoi with him which means NU might be able to snag Peter Sirmon who has been with Wilcox for a quite a while as a LB coach @ USC, UW and Tennessee. Quote Link to comment
