Wouldn't be too bad. Don't think it needs to be a "recruiter" - I'm sure its more of just a logistical person. Someone that organizes, manages, and coordinates the process. Probably doesn't have to be able to evaluate talent, or sell a mother on Nebraska
He would come along with numerous Texas connections. Combine that with our already rich Ohio connections, that could be a good choice.
What other role? Special teams coach? DB coach? Maybe. But our special teams and DBs are doing pretty well. I can't think of anything else I'd want Zook for. Surely you can't mean head coach?
He's been coaching defenses since before I was born, both in a position coach role and a coordinator role (8 yrs total). He's a hell of a recruiter, and has HC experience (something we certainly lack on the staff). Sounds like a pretty solid defensive coordinator candidate to me. Or we could just promote someone w/ no experience that will bow to Bo. That's worked well for us thus far.
Yeah, I might support Zook as a defensive coordinator. Even though his defenses at Illinois were nothing to write home about.
btw, I don't think Zook is a *bad* head coach. I think Illinois was foolish for firing him. Then again, this new guy Beckman might prove me wrong. (I just hope the proof doesn't come tomorrow. LOL)
I would hope so. Cant really take anymore steps back. We're flat against the wall right now buddy.
You could almost say we're backed into a cave. About ready to step on some poop.
