Rumored NU position coach Brent Brennan - Stayed at OSU

[MichiganDad3]

I am concerned. Not a single non-OSU hire yet.

You shouldn't be yet. The guys he knows best are the obvious first hires. Hopefully the 5 he picked are his core and we can look at maybe 1 or 2 from Bo's staff with the remaining as splash hires.

I wanted all splash hires. My worst fear is all hires are OSU or Nebraska

You need to get a grip, not all the OSU or Nebraska coaches are bad give the guy a chance

I am not saying they are bad. I am saying they are not the best in the business. We need to set our goals high. Four losses a year is not good enough, that is why Solich, Callahan and Pellini were fired. All of the fired coaches suffered from weaknesses on their coaching staffs. SE said resources are not an issue, so lets build the best staff in CFB.

It is natural for him to pick his current asst. coaches first, so they can recruit while he looks for other coaches. Someone has to reach out to our current class and to get more players committed. Plus there will be lots of film to watch to evaluate what we have and what we need.

I hope you are correct. Five from OSU seems a bit too many though. Better to have a single weak class than to be saddled with mediocre coaches.

I posted in another thread that it is 2 on offense, 2 on defense, and 1 ST. That is not unreasonable for getting started in a new place.

One question for everyone......what kind of assistant wants to work for a school that fired a 9-3...10-3 coach for being too aggressive? I'm thinking probably none and we're fortunate he's getting his trusted guys to come along so he doesn't have to scrape the bottom of the barrel......JMHO.

I can tell you which kind of assistants won't want to work for a school that fires a 9-3 coach: losers who don't believe they can do better.

As far as I'm concerned, we don't want those types anyway.

THANK YOU!!!! My thoughts exactly.

actually, a lot of assistant wouldn't work for Bo because of his attitude. Scott Frost was one of them. Anybody with a brain knows we didnt fire Pelini because of his W/L record.....

 

[TITANIC VS LUSITANIA]

Of course the guy we want probably won't end up coming ...typical

This would be very dissapointing

It's looking like the missing Oregon State coach is going to be the WRs guy, Brennan. I hope that's temporary.

Come to Lincoln, Coach Brennan! We love you and you will love us.

 

[HuskerShark]

So he's not coming?

I hope you don't want to keep token coaches from the current staff......that would be a bummer to me. I'm not sure who nationally is dying to join up with Riley either.

Ron Brown and Fisher would be the only Nebraska coaches I could tolerate on the new staff. I wanted to see the entire new staff consist of the top position coaches in football, even if it meant paying premium money to entice them from their current job. I imagined Riley and SE talking to prospects with this message; "resources are no issue at Nebraska, we want to win national championships, you will be joining an all star staff of coaches, if you want to work and learn from the best then Nebraska is the place for you, in addition to working with the best we will make sure you have the best facilities, in fact anything you need to win will be provided, and by the way we will double your salary"

So far he's brought the DC, LB, OL, WR, and Special Teams coaches. The only ones I'd want to keep from Bo's staff are the DB and DL coaches. I like Garrison for the way he handled that MASH unit, but that ship has sailed.

You want to keep the DL coaches? Really? Coach up a little more of our 'Matador Defense.' You know, 'Take a step to the left and say, 'Ole' as the running back goes by. Your creditability is now gone. Take a seat on the end of the bench.

Product of the system Bo was running..

I don't know. Between Cavanaugh reportedly saying 4 OSU coaches total (and we can add them up - Bray, Banker, Cav, Read), Sean Callahan's tweet about there being no substance so far in Brennan rumors...it at least looks like it hasn't happened yet. And with the other 4 locked up, you wonder why not.

I hope it changes. Really, really, really like Coach Brennan and want to see him in Nebraska red.

I'd say Kaz was doing a pretty good job with the DL, VV, Maliek, and McMullen showed a lot of improvement with their skills, system notwithstanding. When they attacked they could really get after it.
