This is the part that both scares me and excites me at the same time:
"It's not going to be easy. I've got to find somebody that I trust," he said. "I'm an offensive guy. I'm always going to have something to do with it. There's things about being a coach at Nebraska that I haven't been able to enjoy because of all the time I've been spending trying to fix problems and dig ourselves out of a hole and get the team better. And I spend a lot of time offensively too. Not that I didn't have the right guys. I can't say enough good about them. But I really need to be able to trust somebody. I'll still be involved, but that will take a lot off my plate and I think help me even better in some other areas."
The trusting them to me either means one of two things:
1. proven OC/play caller that has been successful
2. another "buddy" type hire of a coach he has past experience with (i.e. someone like Helfrich - not necessarily saying he would be bad, just more of the same)
