I’d like to find out if it was a talent thing or a coaching thing. Did we get guys that have specific ceilings, or was it lack of effective qb coaching.. But where is our RB coach already?! Both talent and coaching. We should find out soon which it was more. I'm inclined to say it was more to do about aspects of coaching. We got what we could get. It was decent but the development wasn't what it needed to be. 1 Quote Link to comment
huskerfan99 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Wonder if Jeff Nixon could be a target for RB coach? He will prob be out of a job after today with the Panthers. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
DrinkinwitTerrellFarley Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Speaking of the delay, is there any possibility they will replace the DL coach and someone on staff will coach the RB? Maybe I missed a Dawson announcement? Quote Link to comment

Maybe I missed a Dawson announcement? Nothing on Dawson yet. Think they've got some configurations in mind and are still in the process of finalizing. Maybe there's been some hangups with negotiations? Perhaps we're waiting until after the National Championship game! (Lol) 1 Quote Link to comment

Hayseed Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 We're gonna go with what we've been doing at running back and just have the RBs flip for it. 3 Quote Link to comment

Maybe old news, but an article on Frost having Covid mentioned Bryan Applewhite from TCU gaining traction. Looks like he's done well at previous stops. Has developed some good backs and put up good numbers. I saw his name mentioned earlier, but just saw it mentioned in the recent article. Also mentioned Dawson to DL. https://247sports.com/college/nebraska/Article/Nebraska-Huskers-football-Scott-Frost-positive-Covid-test-180220730/ 2 Quote Link to comment

Kidding not kidding! I'm not going to lie, when I read that, that was about as accurate of a description in determining who got the nod as any explanation ever given. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

huskerpower22 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Running back coach question: Is there any chance that Tommie Robinson could be in play behind the scenes? His connection with Mickey and Busch from LSU and the fact he has follows from a few of our players. He just so happens to be a top recruiter in areas we need to recruit. Just throwing it out there as a question. 1 Quote Link to comment

Pretty sure his duties will be coaching them too? Those are just the reporter's words right, not the official statement? I'm guessing he just picked a different verb since he'd already used "coach" in the sentence, without considering the differences. EDIT: To give more credit than may be due, I don't think it's been announced that Dawson will officially have the DL coach title so maybe Christopherson chose "tutor" on purpose because it's not clear what the exact role is. But we're not rolling without a DL coach, and we're not hiring another guy so I think it's fair to assume Dawson is OLB/DL. There, I will look too far into it. 1 Quote Link to comment
