OH HSKR FAN Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Fifty nine is too young to leave this world. I remember him being one of Callahan’s better recruiters. He was integral in getting Suh to Lincoln. 2 Quote Link to comment
TGHusker Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 He had a very colorful career and life for sure. I remember when he was HC at Oklahoma. He was better as an assistant. Quote Link to comment

And John Blake was great at getting kids to campus...but let's be honest, there were some shady undertones with how things were done with him that followed him throughout his career. This doesn't mean he deserved to die young--it just means, let's make sure we're framing his accomplishments in the correct context before we wax poetic about the dead. Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Oh man. That's terrible news. By all accounts he seemed like a pretty good guy and coach too. Quote Link to comment
San Diego Husker Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Probably one of the best recruiters (and coaches) we have ever had at NU (and we have had some really good recruiters and coaches!). wish we could have kept him here and steered him away from the type of problems he had at NC under Butch Jones. Very sad day for sure with his passing! Rest in peach Coach!! Quote Link to comment
