Donte Williams goes to Oregon; Cav to Syracuse

[ColoradoHusk]

I'm sure Banker isn't feeling sorry for himself after the past few years.  Riley was being pressured to fire him at Oregon State, and Banker gets thrown a well-paid lifeline to follow Riley to Lincoln.  Yeah, he was fired, but he made $1M in total salary, and now he lands in Hawaii to coach for another few years before retiring.

He was regarded as a damn good coach before he got to NU, he didn't suck because he doesn't know how to coach DBs. The guy hated Diaco and how he wanted his DBs to play. 

I can honestly see that being the case.  Hell, I hated how our CBs played--10 yards off the line of scrimmage was a damn disgrace.

My condolences to the Syracuse starting Quarterbacks for the next few years.

It's always been fascinating (or depressing) to see what becomes of coaches after they leave Nebraska.  I'll have to do a deeper dive but am curious to find out what percentage of coaches get another FBS job after Nebraska.  I don't have any data yet and am probably succumbing to recency bias but Nebraska seems to be the pinnacle for coaches more often than not.

Quite a catch.  Good for him.  Wish he was with us.

Absolutely not.  I do not want a irresponsible, not accountable person on this staff again.  You saw exactly what type of team that produced.  Good riddance

Irresponsible???  Not Accountable???  Not sure where that comes from but our secondary did struggle.  Those are strong words to attack a man's character who did his best with what he had and recruited his tail off for us while he was here.  Good luck Donte.  I am sure he will find some ballers to join him in Eugene, and we will be just fine.

He was not accountable for coaching a absolutely horrible corner who should have been benched in game 3.  Playing a true freshman at safety, when your returning interception leader is on the bench.  Here come the "He hated Bob, and exata why his position group was awful".  I don't buy it

I’m shocked Coach Cav is employable at this point. I wouldn’t hire him to mow my lawn. He’s flat-out inept.

I wouldn't hang your hat on "interception leader" there are several factors that go into an interception and only about 2 of them have to do with a good play by the defender.  Lot's of plays to make in a game and over the course of a season to think that a few catches by the defender are what matters.

It is a good old boy network.

First, he only coached corners, not safeties. Second, he didn't have many corners to work with that he could use to replace him.

I can't wait to see a new batch of awkward Polynesian recruit tweets!
