Damon Benning....suggestion for Nebraska....

Damon Benning @damonbenning Is Ron Zook available?

[Red Reign]

Like I said I don't like this and where its headed....

[HuskerNCorpus]

We need to stop sitting around and thinking about what to do, and go out and do it. Brilliant hire by Saban.

[KC Husker]

It looks like recruiting is about to get very very expensive. Those with the deepest pockets will come out on top. While the poor could be outside looking in. It sure doesn't seem real fair to me.

[Red Reign]

You and I could not agree more on this....this is not good for college football.....

Rumor has it they are setting up a staff of around 28 for recruiting...We need to be proactive and not reactive here. No excuses, we have the money ...spend it...Its like the MLB...we are a large market program in terms of cash

aren't there limits to the number of coaches/staff on a team? or is this part of the recruiting changes? So much for Parity in college football.....

[Red Reign]

You just nailed it....college football is becoming a pro sport....and that is damn sad....and the fact that folks want to jump on this without any push back I find sad too....the Nick Saban's of the world love it because it gives them free reign to do what ever they want when ever they want...

No excuses? What is happening with these new rules is nothing more than the NCAA abdicating a responsibility that is going to open a can of worms that is going to be impossible to have any oversight over....and college football as a whole as we know it is going to suffer....

Look for your ticket prices etc. to go up....because you and I are going to pay for this....

THIS! Is it unfair that the more profitable programs have great facilities as opposed to the lesser programs? Maybe. But that's life. We have the money, spend it.

But but but...they are cheaters!

You are exactly right. Brilliant move by saban. The Big 10 is busy whining about the new rules...while they are whining they sure as hell better be preparing to play by them too.

I see this as being no different than the richer schools spending much more money on facilities, coaches, training staff, ect, ect, ect...

If you have the money, hire some non-coaches to help out in recruiting. It's not some "evil" thing IMO. It's a great opporunity for Nebraska.

Completely agree with your first sentence. It may not be the direction in which we'd like to see college football move but "it is what it is." Football is highly competitive and if we want to compete with the Alabamas then we need to be proactive. Steele being hired was very smart (there's a reason Alabama has been so successful) - NU needs to do whatever they can, within the rules, to compete.

Your last sentence - they should hire at least one former coach/recruiter to be a part of the recruiting group. Ron Zook would be a great hire (not a particularly good coach but a very good recruiter with Big Ten and Florida ties).

Wow that would be great......he can recruit.....

[cyhusker]

+1. IIRC, the majority of the 2006 Florida team were Zook recruits.

Wow that would be great......he can recruit.....

[FCHusker]

Kevin Steele? Wow! The rich just got a whole lot richer and they didnt need to in the first place. Great move by Bama.

[RedEd]

People have to realize in this game, just as The BobFather and TO did for decades--if you're not moving forward, you're getting behind.

I thought the rules didn't change until August, however. Saban's always been known for pushing out the limits.
