Says a lot about Kelly.

Uhhhhhhh I just guessing but I'm sure he went there before Kelly was hired. Probably trying ro secure a job without being patient and waiting on the situation to resolve. Surely he'd have been retained by Brian Kelly

Kelly was hired 11/29. The Joseph move wasn't announced until 12/3. If he wanted to stay at LSU, he had plenty of time to make that happen. As you said, I can't imagine that Kelly wouldn't have retained him if he'd wanted to stay. Looks like Joseph decided he'd rather jump on a sinking ship at Nebraska than coach under Kelly.

As you said, it seems stupid to go into a one-year situation just because it's your alma. Then again, I thought Frost was stupid to take that job, which he only did because it's his alma. His is a warm weather system that requires the type of athletes you get in the South and on the West Coast. He'd scare me at a place like Florida. Nebraska needs to get back to brute strength option-oriented steroid football.

Joseph was already done well before they announced it and before Kelly was hired. I assume Whipple hire was also done at the time behind scenes making Joseph more willing to make that move. Still a heck of a risk

Recruiting offensive players is always going to be easy in Heupel’s system. His challenge is proving to be recruiting defensive players. It’s no easy task to play D when the offense moves the ball the way, and with the speed, his offenses do.

Right, Faulk was all-LSU, too. They let him go and the S&C guy that had been there 20 yrs, and special teams guy. DB coach and WR coaches left, maybe on their own initiative -- who knows? Meanwhile ... how long since Kelly was named? Still aint got no DC nor OC? OK. Three days until Dec 15 signing date.
