Did you read my entire post? I addressed that Bo would pick up the slack there, and he even stated as recently as today that he could do that if called upon.

I did and I still disagree. Bo is a great coach but he can't do everything. Bo needs to hire the best assistant coaches he can and then get out of the way and let them do the job they were hired to do.

I still say you can't have everything. If it's getting a bad coach and just expecting the HC to cover, I don't like it. However, in this case, it sounds like the emphasis is getting a guy for his recruiting.

Raymond leaving is a big hole, and this is not a bad way to fill it, compared to someone who can coach but cannot recruit.

 
This one does seem like a nice hire --- an experienced person with demonstrated success --- a good recruiter, a known commodity. Very encouraging.

Nice job on this one Bo.

 
If this comes to fruition, kudos to Bo. I'm impressed with his recruiting resume and ties. As I've been saying, as well as a few earlier, in regards to the situation at Tennessee, one more season without a bowl(Which is possible), Dooley and his staff will be gone. So the choice to come to NU should be a relatively easy one.

 
looks like he has a lot of high profile recruits he was targeting while at tenn. maybe he can bring a couple of them over to the huskers......

 
like the recruiting angle on this one. this is kind of what I was hoping for. would have been nice if his recruiting connections where ohio/jersey/pennsylvania instead of Louisiana. hopefully his ties to the south can translate into similar recruiting success to the Big10 as it did to the SEC. it's still a tough sell to get that LA/GA kid up north. hopefully he can sell academics to some of these southern kids, because they won't be getting that in the SEC.

 
I don't want to fall into the trap of focusing recruiting in traditional Big Ten hotbeds. We should get kids out of there if we can, but we should not ignore California, Texas, Florida, the South in general, New Jersey.... we need to remain national.

I kindof have a feeling that Bo realizes this ALOT. Plus, the talent in that region is not near as good as down south.

 
I read on the Worldwide Leader that Tennessee has lost 6 assistant coaches since the end of the season. Only Joseph and the Offensive Coordinator remain from Dooley's original staff. Seems like he had better jump ship before it sinks! He seems like a pretty decent potential hire to me. GBR
