Mike Ekeler and Terry Joseph are both there with him. Maybe they want to try and Bo and Carl to get the gang back together...joking of course but it is kinda weird they are all there together
According to ESPN, Papuchis is the defensive coordinator. The article on ESPN.com by Adam Rittenberg makes no mention of Ekeler
There must be a Stockholm Syndrome specialist in Chapel Hill.
Coaching trees don't mean much I think as a barometer for gauging the quality of a head coach. Tom Osborne produced very little by way of a coaching tree. His assistants tended to stick around. Warren Powers became a head coach as well as Gill. But neither was/is wildly successful. And Powers may have been a Devaney hire. Not sure
You are probably right. I just find it interesting that a coach with as many problems as Bo ended up with some of his assistants doing OK moving forward. Now, they all could flame out in the next couple years...so who knows what will be the end result.
I'm not sure that there is a single guy that you could say is Bo's product. Maybe Pooch but I would weight his time under Chizik more heavily than his time under Bo. After all he was working for Chizik when he got promoted. Other than that, exactly who could we say was really part of Bo's "tree"? Carl maybe?
The DB coaches that rotated in came and went pretty quickly. Warren was a good hire but he had been a DC and a DB coach a long time before he worked for Bo. Kazcynski? Ross Els? NONE of the offensive coaches would I consider part of his tree.You would rate his time as a position coach for two years with Chizek over his seven years (part of that as DC) with Bo? Really?I'm not sure that there is a single guy that you could say is Bo's product. Maybe Pooch but I would weight his time under Chizik more heavily than his time under Bo. After all he was working for Chizik when he got promoted. Other than that, exactly who could we say was really part of Bo's "tree"? Carl maybe?
Yes Tom. Chizek is a better defensive mind than Bo and we both know that Papuchis was DC in title only at NU. I will note that Bo hasn't even got a sniff of a major job since he was canned at NU.
Have you lost your mind? Seriously. He INHERITED Suh, Crick etal and couldn't win a conference championship with them. So Suh got better as a junior and senior. Like that has never happened before regardless of who the coach was. You give Bo credit for that and yet we had multiple guys that looked like crap under Bo go on to pretty good NFL careers after leaving NU. Wisconsin just scored again.
I don't hate him. Sometimes things don't work out with somebody be it a coworker, marriage, coach, etc. and most fair-minded people move on as long as everybody is reasonable. I understand continuing to bag on Bo is childish, and I am guilty. However, the fact the guy hates me (Nebraska fan), my school and its administration, and probably my home state makes moving on more difficult than it could have been if he would have moved on with his $$$ we gave him. You didn't see the same kind of thing here directed at Solich or Callahan.
Mrs Tom, why don't you put your husband online? Troll. The guy was a raving lunatic and while he supposedly knows lots of intricate defensive philosophy, he failed miserably mutliple times in prime time. We got similar results from Banker (without all the inherited talent that Bo had) and he only got 2 years before he was sent packing.
