Assistants Announced

Word is Walters is meeting with Huepel today.  Expected to choose to follow Frost here after being passed over for the HC job at UCF.

UCF TE Coach/Recruiting coordinator still has an offer to come here and Frost is pushing him to make a decision.  UCF media guy thinks he might choose to stay so that there is a least one coach to carry over to their new staff.

Beckton is the #3 recruiter in the AAC.  It would serve the Huskers well to have him on the staff

 
Totally personal bias but to see Turner on the sidelines with SF would be the cherry on the top of an already perfect sundae!

 
Sounds like it is between Walters and Lubick. Would guess Walters comes with Frost if he does not get a head coaching gig that he was looking for. What is interesting is we could potentially bring both, Walters OC/Te and Lubcik Co-OC/Wr. This probably won't happen but it would make sense because Walters likely will be looking for a HC gig sooner rather than later. 

It also sounds like the TE coach at UCF is staying but not sure if that is confirmed or not.

I'm kind of indifferent about Turner Gill ever being re-involved with Nebraska in an official capacity, but other than being a former player/coach here he really does not have anything to write home about as far as a resume. His biggest strength is that he was the QB coach for Frazier, Frost, and Crouch, who were primarily runners.

Also, everything centered around Liberty University these days has an inescapable odor to it.

I can try a little with risk of venturing into a P&R appropriate discussion.

First, Jerry Falwell Jr., the president,  has been acting in spectacular bullying moral majority mode for a while. He's been a very loud supporter of Trump as God's candidate (not that that's evil, but the way he's done it has been in the sad sort of way where he straight up lies, stokes the fires of conspiracy, and doesn't deal in facts), called Liberty the Fox News of universities, encouraged his students to carry guns to stop bad guys, and recently kicked out and banned Jonathan Martin from campus (a personal acquaintance of mine), for essentially "being a liberal", then personally and through the platform of the school continuously lies about it. He's just an authoritarian, partisan prick who censors the professors and the students at his school, forces a science-denying curriculum and archaic rules (students get fined hundreds of dollars for things like watching rated R movies and listening to naughty music or making out) and leaves no room for diverse opinion.

They also hired Ian McCaw, the athletic director at Baylor who oversaw and was complicit in the rape cover-ups. They claimed they did an investigation and found that he didn't do anything wrong, but through actual investigating these claims were mostly debunked, aka, they hired him knowing he was a scumbag but that he could help them be better at sports.

Unrelated to that but still relevant, Ron Brown's public dealings in regards to anti-LGBTQ legislation are pretty well known around here.

Just like you'd prefer not to listen to Davison's political thoughts on air, the P&R section is definitely a better place for this.
