Most Interesting thing I have read today

“The head coaches of the top-4 #CFBPlayoff teams were on Alabama's coaching staff in 2015.

Kirby Smart - Defensive Coordinator

Nick Saban - Head Coach

Mel Tucker - Secondary Coach

Mario Cristobal - Offensive Line Coach”
-The Athletic



Do we even see 4 of our Asst Coaches being an Asst in Power5 Football if they are let go? The Frost Davidians don't see the value of a quality Head Coach surrounding himself with Quality Asst Coaches

Well we should hire Bill O'Brien or else hire Alabama's DC.

WRONG. Lane Train was the OC in 2015. Throw $10 million at him.

 

[God is a Husker]

Not in response to the OP but in the similar “we should start hiring people because they are component” argument: I find it fascinating the history rewriting of the Pelini era. When he and his staff was fired very few were hired to coach anywhere else at a high level. (Notable exception was Tim Beck being famously terrible at Texas) Even Pelini himself was barely considered for jobs elsewhere and after 6 years he was hired back at LSU only to lead what is probably the worst defensive season in LSU history. (Especially considering the talent, multiple first rounders, etc)



It would be nice for Nebraska to someday have coaches that are worthy of their extremely high salaries and minor local celeb status. But alas…

That too.

This slayed me this morning

Someone on RSS the other day posted the coaches that have coached under Bill O’Brien in college and the pros. In that post, pretty much all of them have been promoted or are doing well elsewhere. Found that pretty interesting…

This^^ It will be telling to see who, if anyone, from Frost's staff lands at P5's in prominent roles. I don't really see anyone outside of Fisher because he's such a good recruiter. Maybe Beckton?

Surely our ST coach, right?

Sad part is our Analyst Bill Busch will probably end up with the most prominent Power5 job. A good friend will bail you out of jail, but a great friend will be sitting next to you in jail. How does that translate to all of Frost's friends on the coaching staff?

 

[Kaladin]

Busch, Tuioti, Dawson, Fisher, and Chinander will all get P5 jobs. Probably not prominent P5 jobs. Beckton will find a job somewhere, maybe not P5.

I think Beckton will get a P5 job. There are lots of great DL coaches in the world, but my ass would be pretty chapped to lose Big Tone

I'm hoping they keep Duval and S&C folks around regardless of who is HC. We need stability and consistency in the S&C department. I don't want us to look like the Riley JV team again.

He was at Ohio State before Texas. Currently he's OC at NC State, who is in the top 20 right now.

I say we give whomever the HC is the freedom to make those decisions.
