[personal] [Husker] Who says you can't change defensive coordinators mid-season?

[Skylar Dodds]

Wow Bob, do you think you could put any more words into my mouth?

I'm pretty sure I said I gave him credit for what he did last year with the
DBs we had...Lemme check...Yep, sure did.  That was positive about him,
right?

I also said (repeatedly I might add) that I thought he and BC were probably
too good of friends to let him go, and I think it might hurt BC in the long
run, who I think is a very good coach and good for this program.

IMO, The only way Coz gets fired is if the defense is SO bad that through
media pressure (which then turns on the A.D. pressure) BC's forced to choose
between himself or Coz.

Bob, I defend you a lot on this list, I'm really surprised you made these
assumptions.  I like people like you who don't drink the kool-aid so it
balances me out a little bit.  When I'm around people like me, I tend to
always think we're MNC bound and can jump tall buildings.  Guys like you
tend to bring me back down from time to time.

Sorry you interpreted it wrong, but that's not even close to what I'm
saying.
