Keith Williams

Um what?? I think the WR's have not only gotten better at their skill set, they also have developed the talent of blocking.

I live on the west coast and am familiar with Oregon football. I knew Frost was a good coach when he went to Oregon as a WR coach. Oregon for years had talented WR's but they were always underachieving. After Frosh arrived the first thing I noticed was they started blocking like crazy and they took extreme pride in blocking for their running backs. Following the sudden blocking mentality came big time wide receivers making big plays. Suddenly Oregon's WR unit was good and a major contributor to their success, this was in large part because of how Frost coached them and the mentality he instilled in them.

I've seen that take place already this year. Was it the Purdue game where Frost started playing back up WR's and these guys started blocking really well. You can see it. So I think our WR's are doing better than they ever have, JD's and Morgans stats also speak to their skill set success. Williams can join the staff in some way to be a recruiter, but as far as coaching WR's? No thanks, we are just fine in that category.  

 
I'm all for giving the guy a fourth chance at another school, but I'd rather we have a coach that can legally rent a car on his recruiting trips.

When WRs block it puts uncertainty into the defenders' heads. They don't like to be hit, and they are always wondering if the WR is heading out for a route or if the WR is going to drill them. This makes it easier to get open.

No one who ever coached with MR at Nebraska or elsewhere should ever be allowed to coach at Nebraska. The entire program was poison under MR. It is taking a long time to change the culture. Keep the poison away.

I’m with you. I don’t care if Williams is considered a great position coach, he was part of the worst staff in the modern history of NU.  I don’t want him back.

Listening to one of the local radio stations the other day and they said our wide receivers have not improved since Scott Frost has arrived. Do you guys agree with this? With having such an elite wide receiver coach still living in Lincoln is there any way we can get Keith Williams back on the staff? 

I am also excluding Stanley Morgan and JD Spielman from this discussion since they are naturally gifted athletes.

Keith...this is AWESOME

 
It's just another thread about something that will never happen.  Frost will not be changing any coaches unless one leaves on their own to move up.

If they help turn around a second program, they'll get offers. They're here 2 to 3 years minimum.

Are you going for an all-or-nothing argument: if Nebraska was able to cope with the death of Sam Foltz and commemorate one of its departed sons under MR, than MR was a good coach that did no harm to this program? Not a strong argument, and I would say shameful to try to use that tragedy to prove a point.

No. I'm not making the argument. @MichiganDad3 is making the argument.
