Riley eyeing Donte Williams

[Mavric]

No official confirmation that I've seen. But BIG ERN said it's a done deal. And he usually has the "inside" scoop so I tend to believe him.

BigWillie actually posting has me optimistic!

Williams is currently the secondary coach at Arizona and serves as a key West Coast recruiter for the Wildcats. Nebraska’s offer to Williams would make him a defensive passing game coordinator, where he would continue to work with the secondary and be heavily involved as a national recruiter.

I like the position we offered him.

not sure what kind of coverage u of a runs, i wonder if he would have to keep the much beloved quarters coverage or if he would be allowed to do his own thing

Would be a great hire.. I see some of his players at SAN Jose State were throwing out his name for HC.. Hopefully we throw out a number he can't deny!

Guy on Arizona 247 board says Zona has the funds to match/exceed our offer. I don't know if he's legit.

If we really wanted him Arizona couldnt keep up with us in the $$$ department.

THIS THREAD IS RIPE FOR A RICK ROLL, BUT I'M GOING TO TAKE THE HIGH ROAD FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE!

BUT I HAVE A FEELING HE'S

This writer almost makes it seem like its a forgone conclusion that he will be coming here.

Well let me be the person from this board to say we can outbid Arizona for this guy

Seems like a good move for both teams. NU gets a good recruiter per the recruitniks (hard to tell since he hasn't been in CFB or with any specific team for very long) who has relationships with specific targets. Williams puts a big name program on his resume, which is key for a young coach.

Not sure that's true. Every P5 program has a ton of revenue.

With 10% of this coming from the academic side at U of A. The athletic department itself doesn't have the money Nebraska does and there's no way they are asking for a bigger subsidy to increase an assistant coaches salary.

Hey, cm is never wrong. All p5 programs make the same amount money. All p5 programs can pay as much as every other one to their coaches. Just look, all p5 programs coaches make the the same amount.

I thought it was common knowledge that Texas and SMU make the same in football revenue?

It's not clear why the subsidy is set up that way (maybe a tax structure?) but per the chart (from what I can read on my phone), Arizona's revenue outpaces expenses by $8mm.
Which appears to double nebraska's "profit margin."

I thought it was common knowledge how to distinguish between P5 schools and non-P5 schools.

Guess that's why common knowledge is said to be an oxymoron.
