Who replaces Cooper at DB coach? (2 Viewers)

[Kaladin]

We have over 220 defensive backs on this roster so I assume Rhule will bring in someone who has some experience

 

[Boondock_St_Sker]

Someone from Texas

 

[Herbie]

Seems like the same timing as the te coach that liked to drink last year. Probably a season long promotion from a ga then hire someone

I dunno, much different position. Don’t think we can afford to promote a GA

What quality db coach is going to jump ship on their team a month prior to the season starting?

What quality db coach is going to jump ship on their team a month prior to the season starting?

One who isn't making a lot of money and would like to make more money?

 

[Huskers0119]

It doesn’t really seem like we have an internal db guy a la Phil Simpson on the dline last year or Josh Martin at TE (unless we’ve got a GA that Rhule thinks the world of). Obviously you can’t get a legit db coach at this point in the year but I’m very curious to see what they do in the interim if Busch says no.

This is kinda where I stand.
A good db coach at the power 4 level is making good coin already.
Could get an average guy who thinks his HC might be fired after the season.
A quality G5 db coach has already been hired out this last cycle.
DB coach is high value posistion where good ones often aren’t underpaid.

 

[Hedley Lamarr]

Bill Busch would be worth a 1 year interim role IMO.

He is the obvious choice

Didn’t he get out of coaching for health reasons though?

 

[PlumbingCarrot]

MIKE FUCKING MINTER

 

[ColoREDo]

Poach ex-Husker Daniel Bullocks from the 49ers.

Not ideal but Tony White coached CBs for 10 years and was the DC and secondary coach at Arizona St before Syracuse.

This is likely your answer

 

[BorWhiskey]

Dana Holgerson is the obvious answer.

The market isn't perfect so I suspect you still have DB coaches who are good in G5 and underpaid in P5. Probably not a search they can take your time with but Cooper was one of the highest paid DB coaches in America and probably in the top 5 highest non-coordinator DB coach https://footballscoop.com/news/the-...acks-coaches-in-college-football-2024-edition so they've definitely got money to work with

I don’t know if I’d be considered a “quality” DB coach but I’d take it in a NY minute.

 

[God is a Husker]

Bring Marvin back that chick is over 18 now so no worries

 

[The Other Dave]

Dana Holgerson is the obvious answer.

Agree. Been in the works for awhile (no source other than my spicy margarita).
