Not even close, BUD!
(it was pretty bad, though)
I think the Iowa guy would be a great steal. Since the Iowa DC is leaving, he may not want to stick on if he's not getting a promo. A co-DC or maybe RC or ST-coord role is enough of a promotion to get him to Lincoln.
People who are saying JP is a bad choice are just FLAT WRONG, IMO. JP is a hot commodity outside of Lincoln, no matter what any of you doubting fools say, and he is in line for a promo. If we don't promote him, he will get a DC position elsewhere...and probably sooner than later. We MUST keep JP on staff. He is our top recruiter. He is a good position coach/teacher from all accounts. He understand Bo's system better than anyone else currently on staff not named Bo Pelini.
I REALLY like the hire if we bring in an experienced, top-flight DL coach like the Iowa guy and Bo becomes the defacto DC again. That's the best of both worlds. Losing Carl as a DL coach is a bigger blow than most want to admit.
Not trying to be a Smart Alec, but, by who and why? I don't read any other boards, so is there something I'm missing?
