I would not panic. Riley has 10 or more positions to fill...I would expect him to hire a few that he is already comfortable with. I would prefer that he try to get a new OC and DC. From what I've read about Bray and the special teams coach, those are both great additions for us.
The current staff should be expected to earn their pay, and that includes recruiting.
I wouldn't go that far. Even if he brought his entire staff (he won't) it would still be more experienced and qualified than both staffs Bo assembled. Oregon State is known for developing players. The dissapointment would be not getting someone like Orgeron or Steele to recruit.

I may be way out in bizzaro world here, but if he makes up his staff here mostly out of the remains of his old staff, I'd go so far as to say that Bo's last staff was better. Even with all of its issues.
If Riley brings the OSU DC to NU as DC, I start a fire Riley thread. SE made it clear that NU has resources. We might as well keep Paps. I also question the judgement of someone that is encouraged to hire the best but chooses to hire homers.
There's no faster way to piss off a recruit than to fire the coach they've been talking to. None of the other assistants are allowed to recruit right now. That's a pretty telling sign that Warren will probably be staying on.
You are probably right about that, but Warren seems like a high class individual who could honestly say he does not know if he will be retained. I wonder if if no contact with recruits is preferable to have a coach contact them that will be fired.
As bad as many of Bo's staff decisions were . i can understand where a first time head coach would surround himself with people he trusts and people who he thinks understand his systems and philosophies.
Go for it! True Husker fans show class. Regardless, I will give him & his staff a chance to prove themselves. Image Bo's defense with Oregon St.'s current roster, not good!
