[Husker] Norvell, players -- NU is nothing more than a PIT STOP

[JEN_SENS]

Just a quick list off the top of my head.

Carl Selmer, Devanney - Moved on
George Kelly - Devanney - Moved on to Notre Dame of all places
Warren Powers - Devanney , Osborne - Moved on to coach against his team
Bill Miles - Devanney - Moved on
Jerry Moore - Osborne - Moved on
Rich (sorry it isn't coming) - Osborne - Moved on
Gene Huey - Osborne - Moved on
Bob Thornton - Osborne - Moved on
Van Zandt - Osborne - Moved on
Tony Samuel - Osborne - Moved on

The stability of Osborne's staff was very rare. Probably something you will 
never see again. Just like some of the records.

The truth is, there are very few coaches you want for twenty years. Most get 
stale and lose attention to detail. Look at FSU. We never appreciated what a 
truly unique individual Tom Osborne was. As they say, "they threw away the 
mold".

Oh and hiring a bunch of "furriners" I remember when that Pelini boy was 
tearing them up for dear old Scotus. I don't know, but I would doubt that 
head coach at Nebraska would be the end of his ambitions.

And this Monte Kiffin you spoke about, didn't he grow up in Nebraska? Didn't 
he play for Nebraska? Didn't he coach at Nebraska? Yet he moved on to better 
his life.

The reality is, with great players and great coaches they will get 
opportunities to advance their career. Hopefully we can upgrade.
