I can see your point. However what's another thing folks clamor at?? Bo needs proven recruiters on this staff. And that right there eliminates pretty much every ex husker. Mike is one of my favorites of all time but the majority of kids wouldn't know a ton about him and his exploits.Ralph had already said he wouldn't be interested.
And here it comes up again. Repeatedly we hammer on Bo for giving gigs to inexperienced coaches yet fans who scream loudest about that are the quickest to forget that when said person is a former Husker player. It's comical.
Lastly Bo had been at the coaches association conference the last couple of days. If earlier plans for the replacement have fell through(which I believe is not the case) many options usually present themselves after this conference.
I made the same point about hiring first time guys is something Bo has done too much. Yet, I also brought up Mike Browns name for the position. Kind of contradictory but my second point was, who gives a sh#t, it's a DB coach. If you're going to get a first time gig, I'd rather it be at DB coach than OC and DC. So I see your point, but I also see the thought of "you have to start somewhere". Being a former Husker is just a bonus. Why wouldn't it be?
As for others that have been mentioned.
Warfield was just on staff as a defensive intern. However how would he recruit considering his driving restrictions.
Keyou Craver is here in town. He told me is doing youth work at a local school. Again great guy, not a coach.
Ralph Brown comes from Cali to help do the channel 8 sports stuff on game days. Had said he had no interest.
Groce, I have no idea where he it's or what he is up to.
Mike Minter is coaching but is relatively new to it. Recruiting at this level would be new. Not familiar with Bo's concepts and schemes. While him coming back probably would help Jr pull his head out of his a$$, that situation alone is probably more of a distraction than even he wants to deal with along with coaching responsibilities here.
Marvin knows his sh#t. Marvin is a poor, borderline lazy recruiter. Marvin had the ties. Marvin has a fate that isn't in Bo's hands.
