Shawn Watson will be staying with the University of Nebraska after declining an offer to become the offensive coordinator at Alabama.  Alabama coach Nick Saban was hoping that Watson would accept the plane to come pick him up in Lincoln and come talk with the University but Watson sayd no thank you.

Nebraska fans should be lucky that Watson is staying with the Huskers.  I for sure know I am.  Watson could have earned a huge pay raise upto $400,000!  That would have been around a $150,000 raise overall.

***Reports are saying that Watson wasn’t officialy offered the job, Alabama just asked for permission to speak with him, but he told Nebraska officials that he wanted to stay with the University of Nebraska***

While most people already knew most of the members that would be on Coach Pelini’s coaching staff, he formally came out and released a report through the Athletic Department talking about each assistant coach and what their responsibilities will be with the football team.

You will see some new and some old names in the list of assistant coaches.  I know some people are thinking to themeseles, “Are we going back to the 2002 era where we couldn’t recruit with these coaches?”.  Well time will only tell if Coach Pelini can recruit with these coaches.

Offensive Coaches:

Shawn Watson:  Offensive Coordinator / Quarterbacks Coach
Ron Brown:  Tight Ends Coach
Barney Cotton:  Associate Head Coach / Offensive Line Coach
Ted Gilmore:  Assistant Head Coach / Wide Receivers Coach / Recruiting Coordinator

**Coach Pelini mentioned that he will hire the running backs coach after he is done coaching in his bowl game.  Right now I have not heard who the coach will be and we probably won’t until after his bowl game.**  (Randy Jordan was asked to come back, but declined the offer)

Defensive Coaches:

Carl Pelini:  Defensive Coordinator / Defensive Line Coach
Mike Ekeler:  Linebackers Coach
John Papuchis:  Defensive Ends Coach
Marvin Sanders:  Secondary Coach

Coach Pelini also said that former Husker player Jeff Jamrog will be back with the team.  Jamrog’s position will be the Assisant Athletic Director for Football Operations.

How do you all feel with this coaching staff?  My biggest concern once again is recruiting.  Can these guys like Cotton, Brown, Ekeler, Sanders, and Papuchis recruit highly rated recruits that can take the Huskers to the elite level of college football again?
