Jay Graham? Michael Pitre? Jeff Nixon? If Burton still wants to coach they should be all over him for the position. Jay Graham is another that if he is ready to get back to full time coaching we should chase. Pietre and Nixon have great credentials as well and its understandable the delay in the hire if they are chasing one of them. If they announce Knox or Applewhite my question would be why? Why take so long to announce this when they have been available for a while now. Quote Link to comment

Plus I'm sure there has been some negotiations going on behind the scenes. Quote Link to comment

Lol Have no doubt he'll identify all the contributing factors to what's been going on and get it corrected. Hasn’t Busch been the STs analyst for awhile in Lincoln? Idk - but I thot so. He’s been there so if he has the answers, why has he not helped fix things? Don’t want to be critical as maybe there is a good explanation. ? Quote Link to comment

An analyst can not coach and has no control how players are handled on the field. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I hope this is not the case. He was at smaller schools up until TCU in 2020. So getting 3 stars isn't terrible. They got a 5-star RB his first year at TCU (Applewhite wasn't listed as the lead recruiter). This year Applewhite was the the lead recruiter for 4-star back Ajay Allen who was committed to TCU but was a decommit after the coaching change. Quote Link to comment

Raiola I know little about so just gotta hope Trev & Co are overseeing this stuff. Applewhite likewise. As some have asked, why the delay to give him the new title? Maybe the hoped they’d get a RB/ST combo guy and keep Busch in the skybox? Quote Link to comment
