Mike Riley's Staff

What being a Husker fan is doing to your health

"Over-identifying with your favorite team by routinely keying into its successes, failures, recruiting progress and — ahem — coaching search can also lead to prolonged mental health effects, including anxiety and depression, said Jim Kleveter, a mental health practitioner who works at the CHI Health Psychiatric Associates clinic in Papillion."

You made the correct diagnosis, now what is the cure!
Light exercise, deep breaths (breathing exercises) and focusing on positive words... according to the article.

Quiet and deep breaths work for me.

I am extremely interested to see if any coaches remain from the previous staff. The names I have seen thrown around are:

Warren = Not sure why everyone is so high on him. I don't have anything against him but, he has only been here one year. It's pretty hard to gauge how good a coach really is in that short of time. Especially when the specialty of the HC was his position. Not sure how good he is without Bo.

Kaz = I think this could be a very interesting or important coach to consider. I think the Davis Twins are two of the biggest recruits in this class so far. I think it's easier for them to remain committed if Kaz is still here. On top of that, I thought our D line played well this year and some players improved under his coaching.

Brown = I think it all depends on what he really wants to do. He has proven he can coach pretty much any of the positions he has coached before.

I know Brown has the right mindset to be successful. I believe the only chance the other two have of being even considered is if they can prove to Riley that they don't have the "us against the fan base" mentality that Bo instilled throughout the program. If they don't have that, I could see him strongly considering keeping them.
Warren appears to be a good recruiter and he covers the southeast.

For the curious, Pelini's assistants were not announced until Dec. 17, which was 15 days after he was hired. http://bit.ly/1wd2f2N #Huskers
Asking since you'd probably know, Mav -- was the reason for Beck being announced in January due to a Kansas bowl game?

If we have more future staff members in that boat it might be a little bit more of a delay in announcing all positions. But that wouldn't be too bad of a thing. The recruiting dead period starts in four days and lasts until January, right? And it's a whole month of recruiting from there to NSD.

 
Do you think we, as Husker fans, are just a little obsessive? Just a bit?

We are 14 pages into this thread and the only 2 confirmed coaches are Riley and Bray.

I really don't remember the details of who and when. That makes it sound like all the assistants were announced at the same time so I don't know if they'll wait until everyone is hired and do one announcement or if they'll announce as they go.

As long as the new staff is on the recruiting trail - which is sounds like they are - the announcements are just a formality so it's not that big of a deal. It would have been nice for them to be able to be on the road this week but that would have been pretty quick.
