I currently work at the University as a student manager
of a student support services program and I got to chat with a former
player whom now works with the team in an academic advisor / counselor
position. He played in the early 90's on the defensive side of the
ball. Anyways just a few tidbits as he stopped by our office and we
talked for a good solid 90 mins about all things Huskers.
- When
we moved to the BIG, the people who came to interview our University
before we got into the BIG were blown away by how much stuff we did with
donations (east stadium, new research facilites, PBA with the city's
help).
- He said OSU seems broke in the recruiting department as they put so much money into recruiting.
-
In the old big 12 we made about 12-14 million a year, now in the BIG we
make around 16-17 million, by 2016 or 2017 we will be around 40 million
after the BIG redoes the TV deal.
- He said alot of this will go
into recruiting because, we paid for the east expansion ourselves, the
new devaney research facilities out there by the fair grounds etc.
- HCMR is the closest to TO that will be get in his opinion.
-
2 Private Jets have been fully used and donated by donors for all
exclusive use, after HCMR 1st presser within hours he was on the jet
seeing recruits and making connections.
- HCMR never had a private jet, they called him and told he has not ONE but TWO private jets, he didn't know what to say at all.
-
He has never had this talent like this at OSU; he has one of the best
winning % against ranked teams see USC in the mid and late 2000's; he
won't be outcoached.
- We will have bad games but we will always lose will honor and never get blown out.
-
Donors were pissed that BO and Co never wanted to really use the jets,
and BO hated recruiting 247, wanted to recruit and enjoys his breaks and
wasn't hungry; he didn't even really want to be here he wanted to be
fired; all those reports of his name surfacing for other jobs is all
true.
- He said to watch out for coach Cav being one of our best IF NOT our best person on staff to recruit.
- Pumped by all the hires. ESP OC / QC (quarterback coach), DB coach and WR coach
- Simplified defense will help a lot, we speed and reactions; no more playing slow
-
He said Urban is SMART, said at conferences for the coaches he will
come up with ideas such as less texting to recruits "don't want to
bother those busy HS kids anyways"; so the coaches sign off on that and
BAM all the other schools not named tOSU limits themselves because you
can contact kids if they contact you first. Well all the kids want to
contact Urban since they just won the NC and he is a great coach etc.
Said now HCMR won't fall for that stuff unlike BO.
- said BO's sideline behavior was BS and uncalled for and that this won't happen with HCMR.
- SE made the right call at the right time he thought.
-
When HCMR got here they were lining up the fancy cars etc, he turned
them down and said no thanks; he walks everywhere on campus and rides
his bike whenever and where ever he can withing reason.
- HCMR
respects Charlie McBride and TO and his coaches want to follow the
proper blackshirt tradition and everyone believes in what they got here
at NE; this is their final stop they all love it here.
- This
staff is recruiting hungry and they get it, said they will get 4 star
and 5 star players; he said we will LOCK down on on matt farniok
- No reason this staff can't get top 10-15 recruiting classes.
-
Win the BIG conf every 3-4 years, no reason we shouldn't say win the
WEST 7 out of 10 years; run it like we did in the old Big 12 North.
- Loves the new S & C staff, just loves their attitude and the head guy is JACKED!
-
All BB from the ground stuff now, fast powerful movements no more yoga,
explosion and HIPS, HIPS, HIPS and HIPS; did I say HIIIPPPS?
- Fastest players will get on the field.
-
Will be hard to replace AA, but back-ups are nice; RG could of been
better but with BO's none attacking scheme he held himself back a good
bit.
- Reason players respected BO was eqv to an abusive
relationship; his players who get screamed at and yelled at for running
his schemes; yet he would never adjust his schemes to allow the players
to excel; and he would take his temper out on the players yet his was
BO's fault for not adapting his schemes.
- BO and Co ran an
offensive and defensive system that didn't always match his players
strengths and limited their weaknesses, it was his O scheme and D scheme
or hell or high water; HCMR will always adapt the O and D to his
players to cover their weaknesses and allow them to play fast and free.
-
Beck didn't even KNOW how to run a short 10-15 yard passing route, all
his calls were 20-30 bombs he could never figure it out.
That is all enjoy the nuggets.
