I don't think there will be any other announcements unless Watson is hired somewhere else or decides to leave on his own. From what I can gather Bo and Watson had an agreement that they would both do their best to help Wats get a head coaching job somewhere else, but he's not really on a time table. Bo won't fire Wats and the assumption was pretty good (at least before the bowl game) that Wats would have a couple of opportunities come his way. That's the reason Beck did some work with the QB's. It was feared that Wats might not have that "dream job" until after spring and that would kind of leave us screwed at the OC position and the exact direction to go over the summer. I've been told to expect the same working assignments to continue until Wats figures out if he's staying or going.
I'm not accusing or anything I genuinely asking...is Coleman the lead candidate because he's a Nebraska guy and we assume he's a candidate, or did a credible source actually call him the leading candidate? It just seems people have been throwing that term around a lot lately based on nothing more than past ties, sometimes that aren't even as strong as Coleman to NU
Coleman is a very good coach. He was/is a very serious candidate and Bo has spoken with him. I could also see Bo giving Ross Watson a shot as I think they're pretty impressed with him but he's been with the DB's and the LB coach is a pretty important spot.
I don't know who the hell twisted it around that Carl would be LB coach but that isn't correct. As of yesterday morning if they do in fact not hire a LB coach, we'll still keep two line coaches and Bo will probably coach the LB's. But that's not a forgone conclusion at this point. We'll know more in the near future.
