Never actually coached for Nebraska. Was a huge Air Raid Guy at Texas Tech in the 00's as a WR coach and then OC. Then coached West Virginia in the 10's and had mixed results over the 7 seasons. Most recently was the Head Coach at Houston for four years where he had one high-caliber season (2021), and three mediocre to bad seasons. 

Considered a strong offensive mind.

The reference I believe @default_28 is making:

Was heavily rumored to be tied to Nebraska in either a Co-OC or analyst role for Nebraska this offseason prior to the Glenn Thomas hiring

They should’ve been put in those NEVER with us thread.

 
Could Jeff Sims start at Arizona State?

"I said to him, listen I’m watching your tape. You play a game, you’re like, holy cow a freak show for 85% of the plays, and these 15% of the plays it’s like you lose your freaking mind. You come here and we're going to calm down those 15% of the plays. We’re going to try and give you some peace of mind in those moments," Dillingham said.

I have a contact who coaches at Bethune-Cookman & recommended he recruit Sims from the portal.  I've seen him play since he was in HS & truly believe he needed to drop down a few levels to rebuild his confidence.  I get ego & $ are probably involved, but he is a prime example of not all early playing time is good for you.   I still think the best college game he played was his first.
