Read per UCF Rivals that the rumor is Matt Lubick will be the next OC for Nebraska. Lubick is currently the Co-OC/WR coach at Washington. He was the passing game coordinator/WR coach at Oregon when Frost was there and then took over as the OC after Frost left for UCF.

So according to the 247 Article L(Didn't read it, just saw this posted) - Frost will be bringing:

DC: Chinander

OL: Austin

QA: Ruud

RB: Held

QB: Verduzco

S&C: Duvall
I heard Scott will be interviewing KW, DW, Bray, JP, and one that I didn't expect - Langsdorf. Not real happy about that one. I think we can do much better than DL, but what do I know?

Langsdorf? As OC? Also wouldn't make alot of sense to have Verduzco and Langsdorf both on staff.

Keep KW so we can still get a good WR class. WR's like the guy and he does have some positives for being on the staff. He needs to hit his numbers though moving forward.

JP for DL.
KW for WR
I wouldn’t retain Williams. Riley let him stay after a fourth (?) strike but probably never would have hired him after the latest strike. Too risky.

I don't mind Bray staying for 1 more year. (Hear me out before you blast me) If Frost indeed does bring Ruud w/ him. It gives Ruud as a GA another year of experience under his belt to replace Bray who more than likely will get another gig or DC opportunity at a smaller school

These guys all seem tied together from time at Nebraska, toOregon, to the pros, to UCF. Get a few more ties, and this could be a very good, long term combination.

Good based on what? This will be a young staff, they certainly have the upside factor but the "ties" doesnt mean they can actually coach.

Get rid of Williams and you might just have to go ahead and kiss Lindsay, Stanley, and Mcquitty goodbye. Joshua Moore and Cam Brown for sure would not be in this next class, though.

It’s riskier to not retain him. And I only know if the one mistake he made, not 4 (maybe your counting the ones from a decade ago). The guys is a top tier WR coach and has some talent tied to him. You keep him and if it doesn’t work out, let him go. Plus side is the current WRs stay, we keep J Moore and Cam Brown and maybe add Crocker still. And maybe KJJ comes back for sure then. So his coaching and WRs tied to him IS worth the risk. In My opinion.

Donte Williams....yes his DBs struggled a bit this year. But being completely fair, he came in the beginning of the season, has been here one single year and came during a **** storm. And honestly, his DBs did actually progress some as the season went on, not a lot but there was some progression. Like I said before, the very worst case with him, if he doesn’t work out as DB coach, keep him around to help with DBs and be lead recruiter. He is ace there. You hear his name with all the top recruits.

Oh my thoughts on Langs...if he is indeed being retained, then we all know it won’t be for OC. More then likely will be as QB coach. He sucked or was at the very least questionable as play caller. But he is a good QB coach. He’s got a lot experience and even worked with Eli Manning for the Giants. Sure keep him away from the play book but it’s a good idea to let him have the QBs.

Do our receivers do a good job blocking?

yes and the guy who is really good teaching that is Ron Brown
But he can't teach a lick of route skills who did he put in the league again crickets please,Not many in his 15 years of coaching. With Dubs you get route skills and blocking, And real Top receivers not converted RBs Pluss the WCO is not designed to have receivers blocking on all plays. In Frost offense receivers must be more versatile wich Dubs is able to teach. It's not a full fledged option and run based attack. Frost OC could teach the blocking to it's not rocket science what Brown taught. Basically with a different OC and scheme the responsibility of the WOs will mirror the Offense. KW would be a great fit for Frost offense. His group love to compete. And work.

For me I don't care about the NFL. The only thing that matters is who is the best coach for a position at Nebraska.

Are you sure what you heard ? and where you heard it on Landsdorf, what does he know about the kind of offense that Frost wants to bring to Lincoln...

I really doubt he is going to have just a QB coach as a assistant.

Verduzco is his QB coach. I like he has one assistant dedicated to the QBs much like Gill under Osborne.

we've established Frost is religious .... he'll forgive prior transgressions and bring back Marvin Sanders

Don't tease. He's currently on leave from a high school job after being fired from USC. I know he supposedly did something unforgivable, but he was a helluva good DB coach, and a good recruiter. I'm ready in my heart to forgive him.

Langs would be a head scratcher.
Langsdorf wouldn't make much sense to me given the type of offense Frost runs but people vastly underestimate Langsdorf's ability and his play calling. His play calling would have looked a bunch better with a better O line. I doubt he's retained but who knows. He'll get offers if he doesn't stay at NU.

My guess is Bray, Parrella and Williams are retained. Gut feeling that it will only be 2, though. I don't see DW being retained.
Because of his recruiting I'm willing to give him another year. That would have been hard for any coach to adjust to what Diaco was trying to do and we really don't know what kind of directions Diaco was giving. I'd rather have a good coach than recruiter but at this point we need as many dbs as possible and this guy can cruit with best of them.

I was just as stunned as you, but remember he may have just requested an interview. Certainly no guarantee he will be retained. Hope not.

Maybe (just talking out of my a$$ here) Langsdorf could help bridge the gap for a couple years with the pro style talent we currently have vs. the spread talent that frost will begin recruiting.
Kind of like Bo keeping watson till he had QBs to fit his system in place
