suh_fan93 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 ASSISTANT COACHES Ruud to coach Husker linebackers; staff continues to come into focus Quote A familiar face will be coaching Nebraska linebackers under new head coach Scott Frost. A source told the Journal Star on Sunday that former Husker linebacker and Lincoln native Barrett Ruud will coach the position he manned for four years here more than a decade ago. Ruud served as a quality-control administrator on Frost's staff at Central Florida. The Lincoln Southeast graduate finished his Husker career as the school's leading tackler, with 432 stops. He was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the second round of the 2005 NFL Draft. The Journal Star has reported NU coaching positions for former Huskers Ryan Held (running backs) and Greg Austin (offensive line), as well as Mario Verduzco (quarterbacks) and Mike Dawson (defensive line). UCF defensive coordinator Erik Chinander is also expected to make the move, and other Knights defensive assistants may as well. Barrett Ruud (38) is the leading tackler in Husker football history. The Lincoln Southeast graduate finished his career with 432 tackles 2 Quote Link to comment

I think generally they focus on statistics and film analysis and things like that. So for example a defensive quality control coach would watch game film and sort of chart what formations a team uses in certain down and distances, sides of the field they may attack at different points, etc. 2 Quote Link to comment
broganreynik Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) So that leaves DBs, WRs, TEs, OC, and DC. Its likely Chinander is DC. If we end up with the Williams’, that leaves just one coaching spot left, for the OC. Could we have a similar situation to Tavita Thompson coaching TEs or do we have the OC or WR coach double up? If Coach Frost is calling his own plays, I’d think it wouldn’t be out of the question to have the OC double up. Of course this is all assuming we don’t hire Tom Osborne as ST coordinator; I’ll advocate for it until the staff is full! EDIT: I’m assuming Troy Walters gets an HC gig.

One of the recruits confirmed Chinander as DC and Fisher as DB 1 Quote Link to comment

ladyhawke Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Well, at least they'll someone involved with the defense that understands what it means to be a Blackshirt. I'll confess, I'm nervous E about Chinander as DC. But, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. If Barrett can toughen up the line then that's a huge part of the defensive puzzle. 1 Quote Link to comment

That’s what I get trying to juggle Huskers, fantasy football, and a one-year-old. WR, TE, and OC with two spots left. Quote Link to comment

suh_fan93 Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 I do wonder if we'll see anymore ex Huskers join the staff. Either way I'm excited to see how Frosts staff unfolds! 1 Quote Link to comment

Scratchtown Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Well South Florida and Memphis both have dynamic QB's and crazy good offenses. Chins will be much better than diaco and he'll bring pressure out of that 3-4 . Quote Link to comment
Hedley Lamarr Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Has Ruud ever coached before? Quote Link to comment
