Crystal ball for Casey Thompson

[Ext. 55]

Can’t say I haven’t done that

We’ve all need a fat chick or two.

So was Pickett until this year. Hoping for some Whipple magic.

Whipple had 3 years with Pickett - Not a 1 and done like Brock Purdy. Pickett may have blown up this year - but that's the product of work over time.

So wait…a guy coaching up a QB over time to develop them into a high quality player? Yes please.

100% the Whipple hire has grown on me quickly. I am actually jacked about it - but I don't want to see us go after someone who has been what some describe as "meh" that has 1 year to play. Probably not going to be a "Pickett" type situation.

Which is why I want Thompson even more - an athlete that was on a team with a trash defense that has 2 years left to play? That's what I'm talking about.

Like I said earlier, if any of Nebraska's rivals would have hired an OC whose team had just won a power 5 conference, that just developed a QB into a heisman finalist and first round pick, there would be all kinds of bitching and moaning on the message boards about how that rival is hiring like a "big boy" program and Nebraska is getting left behind.

I don't love Whipple, but he coached at Miami and I tend to hate all coaches who coached at Miami. I totally understand the hire and I think we should be excited about it.

Agree across the board. Thompson would be great add.

I think you need a bridge because I think we have some very raw, but very talented QBs in the mix.

You pull Thompson, Purdy and Torres this year that would be a very nice haul. Get a bridge guy, a guy who is exposed to college life and talented that can compete for the #2 job and then a guy who has a very high ceiling, but needs some time.

I think it was the hire Frost needed to make.

• Older/very experienced
• Experienced as a HC and calls a game from those eyes.
  • He had a few quotes from his time at pitt that I heard and was very impressed. About calling the game to make sure his QB was comfortable.
  • Also, managing the game to play complimentary football. I never felt Frost/Lubick/Walters ever did a good job here unless they had the other team out gunned....
• Detail oriented. This is from my source who claimed he basically had the offense run 4 plays over the entire team session till they got them right.
• Elite at developing QBs. Probably one of the best QB coaches we had a shot at getting.
• I think Whipple is a guy who can handle as much of the offense as Frost is willing to give up.
  • Which I hope Frost basically helps put together the game plan and then gets away.
• Finally I think he is a strong personality who isn't a yes man.

I was really worried when I was told Harrell was the leader. I felt like he was basically Frost and we needed to hire somebody who helped Frost in areas he wasn't strong.

The guy I talk to had Whipple as his #1 and it is the reason I put him on my hot board the earliest of anybody. I am excited about this hire because I think the combo of Whipple and Frost could work very well.

Completely agree - love that our bridge guy could be a two year guy if we snag Thompson

Ya he has 2 but he is coming here because he thinks Whipple can get him to the NFL next year.

And Godspeed to him in that endeavor.

DB posted that on RSS. So it’s factual. Charles got here yesterday. Casey should be in town now.

OU - Just got Gabriel and I don’t think they’ll press further for Thompson.

Auburn - Is hosting the kid from aTm now as we speak.

Mizzou - No idea. There is nothing out there about their situation.

Indianus - He has not been to.

Nebraska is the only school he has visited out of those listed plus Oklahoma.
