Special teams coach candidate hot board ***Updated 1/18***

[Faux Sean Callahan]

1. Bo


In his final year at Nebraska we were really really good at special teams. DPE, blocking punts, elite kicking, etc...

I would give him 20k, a kennel for his cat and a broom closet.

2. Dan Jackson NIU DB coach & Special teams coordinator


Coaching at Norther Illinois currently... Was at SDSU before.

Jackson, who earned his bachelor's degree at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, spent seven seasons as assistant coach at Harry A. Burke High School in Omaha, Neb. He served as offensive coordinator and coached the linebackers. Jackson earned the Omaha Metro Coaches Assistant Coach of the Year Award in 2008 and 2011.

No clue here if he is any good, but has area connections

3. Bill Busch



Stud recruiter and good special teams coach.

Currently unemployed. He made 450k at LSU. I say we match it and make him recruiting coordinator, special teams coordinator and Travis Fishers #2.

4. Sean Snyder


Probably choice #1, but wont happen unless we open the checkbook to do it.

5. Doug Shearer Miami of Ohio



Cornicator mention him. Makes less than 100k. Back to back years of having top 10 special teams efficiency.

If he could do that at Nebraska we would be saved by a soulless fucking ginger

These aren't in any order. Anybody else to throw on this list?

If I had to guess we move on from Mario (makes 375k iirc) and with Rut gone we freed up about 525k in cash to allocate to this. Frost would coach QBs and we would rock and roll.


6. Carlos Polk



Dallas Cowboys asst. special teams coach.

7. Doug Coleman



Cleveland Browns assistant special teams coach

Wait do we actually think Scott is gonna hire a real coach? Even after reading Rutledge say he thinks they’re going to hire another analyst type?

I really hope he does. Get weirdo QB corch outta here.

Sean or Bill. This is fucking Nebraska, that N stands for something. It’s about damn time we pursue the best and quit being pussies going cheap. If we have better special teams that wins us I’ll say 4-5 more games in the Frost tenure to date.

 

[MtnHusker]

I vote Bill Busch. He is a Nebraska guy and his wife and kids still live in Lincoln. He can recruit the hell out of players, good special teams coach also can help coach other defensive positions plus is a tireless worker, which is something that has been mentioned by some might not be the characteristics of most of our current coaching staff. Busch is proven Power5 successful, has a track record. Frost needs all of the experience and help he can get for his under qualified young Group of 5 staff.

Busch makes too much sense, which is probably why he won't be the one. That, or we'll hire him and he'll suffer an unfortunate smelting accident.

 

[Faux Sean Callahan]

Was told there have been conversations between Frost and Busch FWIW

 

[Fargo Husker]

That board.....

I love smelting in my free time, but I'm very careful when i smelt.

I hope Bill is at least as careful as I am.

For goodness sake, keep him away from kilns, too!

But right now, Busch makes

$0.00

(unless he's got sweet buyouts to collect on)

 

[Strongarm517]

I’m going full racist and say he should find a black guy that’s good.

Fun fact: I know Dan Jackson’s wife back from college.

Lol no.

Having Dawson take over special teams makes the most sense to me. He was special teams coordinator at Boston College for a while.

That would make sense, but the word is he didn't want to coach special teams.

I’d prefer it be a stand alone coordinator but programs have done it successfully both ways.

Your fact would have been more fun if you wrote you banged his wife in college.

TN hired Kevin Steele (despite the hiring freeze). Scratch him from the "big board" of candidates.

Tennessee hires Kevin Steele as former Auburn DC joins Volunteers staff as defensive assistant

Steele was the interim coach and a candidate to replace Gus Malzahn at Auburn
