As far as a timetable, what the heck are you two jerks talking about. I pointed out that other headcoaches seem to be able to make decisions on important jobs like DC on a much faster schedule. Why does everything take KF so long?

Man it is unbelievable that when someone asks a question around here, jerks like you 2 come flying out with the attacks. You 2 need to learn to read what someone says and debate it without getting "your panties in a bunch". What a pair of losers.

The issue is you make assumptions on many things based on no facts. What if the other coach cannot be named until their season isover. What if they are looking to fill all positions before they announce the dcoordinator. What if there is some contractual issues that are not finalized. What if the new coordinator is looking for possible new staff members a.d wants it all done before announcing. The truth is I don't know but I will trust the Guy who hired norm, Aiken, philbin....

I stead of thinking g on these lines you state why does it take him so long...wahhhh other coaches are done....wahhhh.

The part the kills me is many of you don't consider these things. Rather you bleat out the same drivel you read on these boards. I think it is because you dont have these thoughts because that would take critical thinking skills.

And really stupid of them to keep dragging it out.

It is strange that no one on any of the boards has mentioned pay. Since he did not recruit, Norm was paid less than would have been another DC in his position. Unless Phil or another candidate demands to not recruit, thereby receive Norm's pay (that's assuming he or another candidate can demand the same pay after adjusting for COLA and market value of similar DC positions, etc.), a few contracts will need to be structured. The delay might involve figuring who they can pay what, with the fewest ripples.
With the pay discrepancy from Norm's non-recruiting adjusted pay comes quite a few questions. One for example is: What's the value of a Coordinator position at one of Forbes' top 22 most valuable teams? ( College Football's Most Valuable Teams - Forbes )

Lot of "what ifs," Easton. So here's another....What if it is Parker, which I believe it will be? Then, how do you explain the long delay?

We took a swing at some bigger fish and struck out.

Not real hard to comprehend.

In keeping with the general atmosphere on this board, I have absolutely no inside information to support this: Phil Parker has been hired away from Iowa, or is a finalist for a much better job, and KF does not want it public until after signing day for obvious reasons! Take it to the
Bank!!

Can I take it for less that it's worth?

Then I will assume that others were interviewed. I will assume that the same process would be in place as it was if another coach was hired.

Not everything is either / or.

Rep spoke with Parker and confirmed.

doubtful. this succession plan has been in the works prior to Norm officially announcing his retirement.

Makes one wonder if the hold up for announcing is that.......

Brian Ferentz will be named a defensive position coach....

Waiting on the patriots season to end. ???????

I can believe this one as much as any and I wouldn't yet rule out BF on the offensive side with some shuffling of additional chairs yet to be done. How long ago was it that Ferentz said he would take whatever time necessary to find replacements even if it mean't losing some potential or current recruits? Almost as if he knew then of the possibility that something else needed to play out that he had no control over.

Since there would be more than one staff change possibly I could see Coach F. waiting for all to fall into place and make one announcement capturing it all.

......then again I predicted we'd clobber the Huskers last night too.
