Congratulations to him on the move. Find the best man available for the job. Part of the more modern process of having a staff of coaches who want success where they are and still looking for future susccsss elsewhere.

It happens and usually means the program is strong. People don’t poach coaches off bad teams and bad organizations.

Am I the only one who didn’t immediately recognize who Dawson was when reading the thread title??

What did Parella do to make you want him back as DL coach here? His Dline was pretty underwhelming. I will say that we honestly don’t know if it was Bob Debacle’s scheme or if it was the coaches that made the defense suck so bad 2 years ago.
Classic chicken and egg scenario. Will we ever know if they could have been a good DL without Bobby D?

Any concern recent DL signees get pissed and leave? I mean it was announced just after last signing day. Not sure if Dawson was the only reason some of them came to NU.

I don't think so. Should be okay there. Hope they make a good hire to replace him.

Okay. So who do we get to replace him? You know there's going to be a plethora of guys who want the job. I see a Peter reference. That could be fun. The toughest thing would be to keep him from running on the field to tear somebody's head off.Winking

You know, Parella I thought was doing a good job as a recruiter and he has enough experience. It will be interesting to see where Frost goes with the hire. No doubt he's known this could happen.

Well, you never want to see good assistants go, but bound to happen if we have success, though I wasn't thinking this early.

Time to see how SF does at hiring a replacement. Good play starts with the lines as we all know.

If he's the only guy that leaves I'll consider it a win. If we have more success next season, as we anticipate, it's bound to become more common.

Some people I have talked to about this really don’t see this as much of a loss, depending on who they replace him with. I honestly don’t know that much about him, so I don’t really know if it is good or bad.

Crap. First Mo Washington gets in trouble, now this.

Nothing but bad news today.

I think this might be the worst day of my whole life. No... wait.... there was that one day my first wife told me she was dumping me. That MAY have been worse. But she is super, super fat now so no, this Husker news is worse.
This is almost as bad as the day we all found out Mike Riley would be the next head coach. Somebody had to say it.RollingLaugh

We’ve gone thru this— Diaco ordered “bullrush only and get their hands up”. I don’t care who they hire but Parrella was the last problem the Huskers had under Riley’s tenure— he should have never come home.

So Dawson was the assistant that was rumored to be leaving a couple months ago? I would have thought Fisher or Beckton.

Hopefully Ty Robinson wasn't too close to him.

Ty was interviewed on last big red wrap up and while paying respects to coach Dawson when asked about him, I did not get the impression that he would be that critical for Ty as far as staying put.... same goes for the rest of the room. Respected man, but kids aren’t attached to him like the ole Williams’ coaches.
