Troy Walter's out

Assuming that Beckton sticks around, which is still a question.

Well Walters leaving and the Lubick hiring all happened within about 3 hours today so who knows what if anything else is in store.

@suh_fan93 Only officially, by all indications Walters has been out the door for a long time now.

Yes.  It's like that a lot of times and for good reason.

How bad must Helfrich be as a person for someone to not want him?  Eeeesh..

Analyst spot?

Would be pretty nice to add him & Snyder. Heck of a new haul staff wise if that happens!

That is what I expect

It’s not that Helfrich is a bad person, he just doesn’t “need” to be a full time coach right now. If I was him, I would do what he’s doing. Live off contract buyouts from Oregon and the Bears. Potentially help out a coaching friend as an analyst, and have my agent put out a ton of feelers for a full-time gig for 2021. This could be an OC job or a lower level head coaching job.

^ Classy exit.  Best of luck to him.

He didn’t peel out in the parking lot like cavanaugh?

This is a great pickup. I dont believe Frost wanted Walters when he came to NU as that was the one assistant that lingered as Walters wanted to be a HC. Glad to see this happen!

Give Cav a break it was All You Can Eat Riblets at Golden Corral

Heard this guy may be available to take on offensive playcalling duties:

Uh-No

If he didn't want him he wouldn't have brought him.

Perhaps I could have phrased it better. He did not seem as focused on retaining Walters in that transition timeframe. If you go back and look at that transition period, Walters was the one that took a while, and I believe Frosts success at UCF was more of what he brought to the table and less about what Walters brought. Given UCF was undefeated and Walters was not selected for a HC job, Frost brought Walters along with the rest of the staff. 

If you actually look at the last 2 seasons, I believe the offensive stats are more highly ranked than the defense. Its just that the defense really sucked in 2018 and showed very marginal improvement in 2019, while the offense was pretty darn good in 2018 and took a step back in 2019.  Regardless I am excited to have the new OC in place with proven P5 experience, and if we struggle again on defense this coming season I am hopeful Frost will replace Chinander too. We need P5 experienced coordinators in my opinion to get where Frost wants to take the program.
