It looks like the old rb coach at oregon state has joined the huskers staff. Does anyone know what his role is?

 

[Mavric]

I believe we still have a GA spot open so that would be a possibility.

Edit: Plus the walk-on coordinator position. Which we were said to be "close" to hiring.

 

[Illinois Husker_Mac]

Thanks Mav. He would be a big pickup as a GA

 

[Treand3]

If he is an GA, he'll he a big help with recruiting in TX with his connections. Hope he's apart of the staff.

That's cool - and interesting. I was wondering where I had heard this name before.

Chris Brasfield is in his fourth season as Oregon State’s running backs coach and in January of 2012 was selected as one of the top 50 recruiters in the country by 247Sports.

Before we beat out Harbaugh for the 49ers' old RBs coach, I was thinking this guy was someone I wouldn't have minded at all coming here to take the same position.

And as a GA?

 

[Illinois Husker_Mac]

He was on the field yesterday during practice

 

[BigRedBuster]

Awesome...he is one I was very surprised didn't come with Riley.

Top 50 recruiter???? Thank you.

That's freaking awesome.

 

[TITANIC VS LUSITANIA]

Awesome, yes. But isn't it weird?

 

[Count 'Bility]

Awesome, yes. But isn't it weird?

In that for the first time in a decade we have a coach and program reaching out to the youth and people in this state?

Yes. That does seem kinda weird.

Yes. That does seem kinda weird.

And that we're finally acting like a big time program by hiring qualified, even overqualified people to fill positions here.

Yes. That does seem kinda weird.

Not to mention a position coach of a power 5 school and a top 50 rated recruiter in a non coaching position.

 

[Count 'Bility]

And that some of our position coaches were former coordinators that took a step down on the superiority ladder.

Yes. That does seem kinda weird.

Weird in that he is not a native, and he is typically a position coach. He just applied for a position coach job at Texas not too long ago.

I don't know why, I expected someone who had some local ties in place.
