So whose on shortlist for new DL coach?
- Thread starter NebChicago
- Start date
Names that I have heard:
Inoke Breckterfield. Played for MR at Oregon State. Current DL coach at Wisconsin. Coached UCLA and Pitt. Wisconsin just lost their DC to USC. And he is Somoan. But who knows if MR will take a coach from his buddy Cryst.
Parella sounds like a long shot. But Jason Peter floated his name.
Tavita Thompson (current GA and TE coach) is probably the most likely choice.

Inoke makes $215,000 at Wisconsin.
Hughes made $300,000 at Nebraska.
As we all know, Wisconsin doesn't pony up money to keep assistants.

I certainly can't see Ed leaving his current job to come here.
Does John Blake have a show-cause penalty attached to his name. If we want to compete with the SEC schools he might have some creative recruiting advice.
Otherwise I would give Lewis Powell. DL coach at Utah with Hawaii - Polynesian background a look
As an aside I didn't realize that Dennis Erickson was an asst coach at Utah

Why? So people like you can ***** about how much assistants are making? You can't have it both ways
Complaining about assistant coach pay is asinine. You want a great program you need great assistants and you need to keep them around, just ask TO.

Yup. I love how the narrative has changed in around 18 months. It used to be "we need to keep the staff together until the end of time because Bo=Osborne". Now it is "fire everybody who has worked together before, that will never work". It is very telling.
Making up a narrative in your head and portraying it as fact is very telling.

Denying it like a little snowflake makes you special, don't ever change. You are great, just keep telling yourself.
That narrative was true about Pelini's staff. Some people had such an infatuation with the members of the last staff it was strange.
Tavita would be a let down. We need more experience in both coaching d-line and recruiting.

But he wants to coach here guys!!! There was a picture of him with a Nebraska shirt on!!!!!!!!!
I would bet Riley gets Breckterfield. I think he'd be an excellent fit for a lot of reasons!

He was very interested after we hired Riley. Probably not anymore after Riley wouldn't return his calls and passed him over for the great Hank Hughes
I'm sure he's more interested in using this to get a raise out of his current employer.
Orgeron didn't get hired by LSU until a month after no one from NU would call him. Hmmm, let me think, if we put a contract out in front of a then unemployed Orgeron, and then he doesn't sign it?
Who's to say Riley didn't call him? Were you tapping the phone? What happens when Nebraska offers him $300,000 and LSU comes back with a $450,000 offer in an easier place to recruit and a chance for him to be in his home state?
And if he did actually come here after 1 year at LSU, it would further my fear/opinion that he would be about as loyal to us as a $20 *****.
Ed has a 2 year deal now at LSU for $895,000
it sounds like he would laugh his *** off .. and that presumes he would even pick up the phone if Nebraska were to call
.
It's insane for a position coach, good for him though. That even furthers the point that he wouldn't have come here in 2014 IMO.
I wonder if LSU fans ***** about his salary?
