if he wasnt a former player he wouldnt be on the list. Really is that simple. I do trust Frost to find the right guy though! 

Neither would Coach Ruud either.  I trust Frost too.

I agree with you on that. But when you decide to let him go with Riley and his staff and then bring him back it just seems odd....I wonder if we tried to keep him around as an analyst or something...just seems odd to cut him and then come calling a year later

He would have been offered the job if Dawson wouldn't have agreed to come with Frost.   

Sounds like Davison and a few others in the AD were and are still pushing for Parella.   He was very well liked from the sounds of it.

Just because an organization fails, doesn’t mean every person in that organization was a failure.

of course, it doesnt "look" right though. Just seems completely odd. I get that if he is the right guy then Frost most likely has his DL coach for the next 20 years

I'm not sure Parella is the right guy for the job, but I will says one thing; many of the coaches on the defensive side of the ball during the "Diaco Fiasco" should be not lumped together. Diaco was not letting them coach to their fullest and how they wanted to. It was ridiculous.

I skimmed this thread and didn’t see my answer to this. Other than Kuligowski, are there rumors about anyone else?

A couple big time recruits liked a tweet that Kuligowski got an offer from the Cornhuskers, so I am hoping it is Craig Kuligowski.  Mind you I got this info from another site so i'm not exactly sure if if what is said is true, I don't twitter at all nor do I go to peoples twitter to research anything.

I hope it's Kuligowski.  His tract record for developing DL speaks for itself.

You are correct.  However, on the flip side, Parella also doesn't have any data proving that he IS a good D line coach.

Apples to oranges.  Ruud worked with Frost for 2 years at UCF as an analyst, so Frost was able to see up close what he was getting.

Exactly. We need a proven D-line coach, and frankly, Parella does not meet that description. I can understand feeling that deserves Parella a second chance to prove himself because he coached under Riley, but let that chance be elsewhere. Maybe someday, if he burnishes his resume elsewhere, he can return, but not today.

"You see, Bob is all the way down there.  And he said he just wants to do everything himself.  So you just have to stand here and watch."

 

[SouthLincoln Husker]

If you compare resumes with the other guys mentioned, Parrella has no business being considered.  And then add in he coached with the previous staff that featured a historically bad defense.

He is a hard pass imo.

That was due to the scheme of the DC & a poor weight program.   Its not fair to judge him on that basis.  But I hope we get someone with more southern or far east recruiting ties.
