Evan Cooper Resigns

[Decked]

Seems more solid than you’d expect given the timing.

Probably because this was planned. I would expect this guy and Rob become Co-DC next year.

We’ll consider me impressed! The timing and looking like they already got this done and this guys resume. Looks like a really solid hire…especially with the time of year!

This "resignation" now seems a bit more "designed"....

Is he a 3-3-5 guy too?  I think he coached with White, correct?

 

[BlackHillsHusker]

Don’t know if that is what this is about or related to, but that was the old scuttle. I think it was more just partying than anything, but with students-which might be frowned on.   

Carl Pelini approves

You won't like what filters out on this dude.

Let's get wild.  He supplied Harper Murray her fake ID and was a big player in off court issues.

Something has had to be going on with Cooper. Whether it be a problem or he has other family priorities he’s wanting to put his focus on. 
The fact they have the new guy hired already, his background and his experience and wanting to be a DC when we all know White will be a head coach. Just interesting how it all seems to play out.

He was Penn State's DC during Bill O'Brien's last year there.

Agreed.  It seems more burnout / health issues than infractions!

One of the main reasons i like this is because this guy has coached it in the NFL which recruits will like.  2, he doesn’t have favorites so whoever shows out will play

Everyone has a bias of who will play. I think a lot of that is in the decision of Tony White and Rhule. Inversely I am concerned about his recruiting abilities. I think he is a better DB coach. But being at Nebraska is more than just being a good on the field coach.

With as quick as the new hire came you would have to assume this was in the works for a while.

247 guys knew for a little while this was happening but kept it tight lip
