Are there any former players that would be good to coach for us? Like a Grant Wistrom or something? Just throwing out ideas, but it needs to be a "nebraska" kind of guy. Personally I think by the time Bo leaves he will have such a consistent staff that they will be able to just promote from within and keep stability in the program.

Marvin Sanders
People here underestimate Sanders when in actuality he's the only other asst. coach who has actual DC experience at another D-1 program besides Bo and Carl. Not only that, Sanders has the unique opportunity of being in the "war room" with Bros. Pelini when it comes to learning their brand of defense.
If we want to keep the Pelini brand of defense when Bo leaves, then for the sake of continuity Marvin Sanders would be the obvious choice. In this scenario I could see Ekeler being promoted to DC. You have to remember even though Ek played for K-State, he's a Nebraska native (Blair).
The other possibility is Carl Pelini. He's probably a long shot because I'm not sure how long he'll be here before getting that first D-1 HC offer. But it's also possible that Carl would stay at Nebraska for a couple reasons:
1) Maybe Carl knows Bo will eventually leave NU for tOSU, which gives him more reason to stick around at NU so that he can take over the program?
2) Carl's girlfriend is a Nebraska native with kids and family nearby, so maybe she doesn't want to leave the state if he were offered an out-of-state job?

Whoever our next coach is after Bo, I want him to be a defensive guy. Our record with mostly offense was 5-7. With mostly defense it was 10-4. Give me a good defense any day. Hopefully this is all a moot point and Bo will live happily ever after in Lincoln, NE, retiring after matching Osborne's 3 championships in 4 years.
