ok... so who has some names for the new DB coach?

[Geaux Big Red]

Figured I might as well get this thread going. Anybody have any ideas?

Scott Frost, Mike Brown, Ralph Brown, Marvin Sanders, DeJuan Groce, Fabian Washington, Keyou Craver, Tony Veland just to name a few.

First thought would be Daniel Bullocks. Was DB coach at NIU & now he is a Eastern Michigan. Don't think he will get hired, but it was the first guy who came to mind.

In my uneducated opinion, it needs to be someone from the South again.

Keith Heyward???

Keith Heyward joined the USC staff in December of 2013 as the defensive backs coach and pass game coordinator.

He was Washington's secondary coach the previous 2 seasons (2012-13). UW's pass defense in 2012 ranked 23rd nationally. He coached safety Sean Parker, who had 11 career interceptions. The Huskies played in the 2012 Las Vegas Bowl and 2013 Fight Hunger Bowl (he did not coach in the Fight Hunger Bowl).

Before Washington, he was the secondary coach for 4 seasons (2008-11) at Oregon State, his alma mater. He coached such future NFL players Brandon Hughes, Keenan Lewis, Brandon Hardin, Al Afalava, James Dockery and Suaesi Tuimaunei. The Beavers played in the 2008 Sun Bowl and 2009 Las Vegas Bowl.

Before that, he was the linebackers coach at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in 2007 after serving as a graduate assistant at Oregon State for 2 seasons (2005-06), working with the cornerbacks the first season and the next with the defensive line when the Beavers played in the Sun Bowl.

Riley's most recent DBs coach at Oregon State was Rod Perry. Wasn't retained by Beavers. Not sure where he landed, if anywhere, yet.

That's the tough part. Nothing wrong with getting a coach from the South, but then they have a good year at NU, and they bolt for an SEC or ACC job.

then pay them more than UNC will and they'll stay

@swmckewonOWH That would be the same Rod Perry that John Stallworth ran by in Super Bowl XIV. #whatcouldhavebeen

Now that'd be a "splash"

 

[Savage Husker]

How about someone that will stick around for 3 seasons at least.

Two would be a good start.

I don't think Riley will hire a NU guy that he has never worked with or met. He will go to someone he trusts or someone who comes highly recommended from someone he trusts. This has been his pattern so far...
