Like Michigan State or Minnesota. I wouldn't have minded Ohio State either or even Iowa. It's obvious that our definition of a "Nebraska Classic" is very different from BTN's. My number one rule is, if Riley was coaching it was not Nebraska football and definitely not a classic. 2 Quote Link to comment
Toe Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Man, I'm still wishing to have the old tunnel gate in the background of vids like these. I get the video boards, but the old gate was better. Quote Link to comment

It's weird since I didn't remember going to a bowl game with Rielly as coach. Dumb Riley and Dumber Mora. MR screwed up again ..... Oregon St suit color instead of Huskers Red. Jim is correct suit color. 2 Quote Link to comment

I see that as a positive. It'll still be Frost's offense and assistants leaving for head coaching jobs will only attract good assistants. Quote Link to comment

But could a ton of assistant turnover be a bad thing or lead to blow-outs in a national title game? I understand they still made it there but too much turnover can be a bad thing.

Hilltop Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Saban has seemed to do ok with high assistant turnover. The offense is Frost- he can train new assistants. With all other positions, who knows, maybe we get an upgrade. 1 Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I like Walters but Frost is the person running the offense anyways. Ryan Held is the most important person IMO. He is getting any RB he chooses and has the juco connections. 2 Quote Link to comment

It was jarring to see how fat and slow the NU players looked, and how slow NU's offense's tempo was. The D on that '15 team had some dudes (Collins, Valentine, Gerry, Banderas) but they were so bad for the most part. 1 Quote Link to comment
Husker in WI Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I think people are selling Walters a little short - yeah it's Frost's offense, but the assistants have a huge impact as well. Some staff turnover is inevitable, I don't think you'll ever see staffs as unchanging as Osborne's. But I don't think there will be waves of departures like Alabama either - those guys are just there to build their resumes, I think all of the coaches here want to be here. But I fully expect Walters to be a head coach somewhere, and I don't expect the rest of the coaches (outside of Verduzco) want to stay position coaches forever. Quote Link to comment

I feel like he would be a guy to stick with the program as long as Frost is there Quote Link to comment

Held might stick around for a while as an OC. He's already been a HC at lower level programs and it seems like his resume would make it easy for him to move on. Maybe he doesn't like the craziness of being a HC and he'd stick around as a position coach with Frost. Quote Link to comment

If I were a coach and I had the choice between being a head coach at a rebuilding program or being the OC at Nebraska, it would be an easy decision. 1 Quote Link to comment

Held will be a P5 HC eventually if he wants to be and is an easy choice for OC when Walter's gets his shot Quote Link to comment

Most people would take the HC job, but being Husker thru and thru I would rather have the Husker OC job than almost any HC job. Maybe Held, being a Husker, also feels this way. Quote Link to comment
