Mike Riley's Staff

I think we could keep Garrison and Kaz (If he is over whatever happened with him) Brown would be good too maybe Rb's and Returners he has a way of getting kids to buy in and believe. We really need a Great LB's and db's coach. Frost would be a great OC obviously but I think Riley is probably competent enough to bring in someone great there as well.

 
Can any take a shot at explaining the 'keep Kaz' stuff?

NFL caliber talent with NAIA control of line of scrimmage.
Kaz teaches sound technique. Problem was (just my opinion) the 2-gap/line control requirement of Pelini's scheme. Without complete world beater DTs & DEs, it was a losing proposition. A lot of blogs if you search google that outline it

 
I would think keeping at least a couple guys would go a long ways towards easing the currently players minds.

Smoother transition is good for everyone. Especially Warren who is as tied to Pelini (in terms of how long he's been here).

 
Orgeron wants to be N!
Does he have a profile in the recruiting section?

How valuable is a smooth transition? At what cost, I mean? We tired that with Watson and it could be argued it set us back overall.

 
FYI - if Frost were to come as an OC. Talk about a major case of 2nd string QB syndrome. Riley loses a game, and the catcalls will immediately come out that we need to fire him and promote SF. I'm thinking he is a bit smarter than that, and won't bring that into his staff

 
LOMS - Watson was forced. Much easier to retain some position coaches from the previous staff than a Coordinator. I don't expect Riley to keep anyone but a good position coach is always worth their weight... One holdover would help a lot with the culture changes that are needed

Orgeron says he would be interested. Let's make it happen
What does he bring to the table?
Easily a top 5 recruiter in the entire country. Will bring in 4-5 star talent consistently
I swear I've seen this somewhere before.
As for Frost, apparently one of the radio stations in Lincoln has said that Scott is extremely disappointed and would not be part of this staff. Not sure if true.
The last recruiter at NU that had the recruiting ability of Orgeron is John Blake.
