DeWitt right? To UNC..I believe we will hear news of a coach leaving very soon.
I think so, should know soon. This will be an important hire for Frost, if DeWitt goes. Two areas (OLB and ST) we need to improve in, big time.DeWitt right? To UNC..
who would be out there for potential replacements? Are there any good recruiters or good technique guys?I think so, should know soon. This will be an important hire for Frost, if DeWitt goes. Two areas (OLB and ST) we need to improve in, big time.
DislikeBruce Reed for STs?
I hope so. Both have been the the weakest link on the team for two years. Offensive line a close third.DeWitt right? To UNC..

thank you for the input here... seeming as hearing about possibly losing Dewitt came as news to me and left me wondering what some of the options would be, it’s nice to see what some of the rumored replacements could be... thank youI've heard the rumors too. Good luck to Dewitt in any case. That health struggle he went through sounds horrible, and I'm glad to hear he's getting back to health. A side note: check out his bio. His college degree is in physics and mathematics.
If he does go (and it's just a bunch of rumors at this point), some names that have come up are Mike Dawson (ex-Husker coach, and probably now an ex-New York Giants coach after their head coach got fired) and Mike Ekeler (another ex-Husker coach, who's coaching special teams at Kansas under Miles). Dawson was coaching OLB for the Giants, and he's likely looking for a job. Another ex-Husker coach in the NFL likely looking for employment is Doug Colman (recently of the Cleveland Browns), who has a lot of experience coaching special teams and of course he has experience coaching and playing LB. He also would have played with Frost at NU. And those are just a few names with Husker ties. If Scott does need to make a new coaching hire, he could just choose to open up the search and interview someone Husker fans have never heard of.
Hopefully, he will open it up and find the best fit and not because he was a former husker. If it is a former husker and he is the most qualified, so be it. It's early in the game, however, some of the former Huskers who are assistant coaches on the team, are kind of proving they are not ready to coach at this level quite yet.I've heard the rumors too. Good luck to Dewitt in any case. That health struggle he went through sounds horrible, and I'm glad to hear he's getting back to health. A side note: check out his bio.

This could be interesting. Didn't realize he was coaching in the NFL (although for the Cowboys). I recall someone once asking TO ...if you were walking down a dark alley and could pick one player to have your back, who would it be? He chose Carlos Polk. Nuff said.Can Carlos Polk for ST coach? Can he recruit? Would he want the job? Would SF want him?
Trev Alberts?
Jason Peter?
Grant Wistrom?

Let’s just bring back Charlie McBride while we are at it.If DeWitt does leave, his replacement would be someone that Frost feels will stay for the long haul - it's pretty clear he's placing a lot of value on continuity in his staff. Mike Ekeler is definitely a name I would put high on the list of candidates.
#1 Why would he go to UNC . #2 Why would they want him? His position groups have been horrible since here.DeWitt right? To UNC..
I believe this is how Frost is moving him out, by helping him land at another job. Kind of like Bo used to do#1 Why would he go to UNC . #2 Why would they want him? His position groups have been horrible since here.
Dawson
Dawson coached OLBs for the Giants this season.Dawson would be a weird hire.
Although I'm not sure they beat us for Johnson, but I get it. Love the notion of poaching a coach.Wisconsin beat us for Johnson and might do the same for Bollers. How about we take their OLB coach? Day did this to Michigan last year, when he shook up his staff at OSU.
It wouldn’t be weird, Frost respects him a lot and he has coached LB’s. But it would be a bit underwhelming, tbh.Dawson would be a weird hire.
Your second question is a very good one.#1 Why would he go to UNC . #2 Why would they want him? His position groups have been horrible since here.
Let’s just bring back Charlie McBride while we are at it.
He left for a reason. Hard to see him coming back after 1 year, particularly to replace a guy who he had worked with for 3 years.Dawson coached OLBs for the Giants this season.
How’d that work out?Dawson coached OLBs for the Giants this season.
