Walters to 'braska?

Makes me wonder if he is actively looking. His name seemed to be in play after the coaching convention. Of course could just be message board fodder with no substance. We even see that here from time to time.

If the rumor started on the kNU rivals premium board -- there wasn't much to it. And their 247 publisher says Walters hasn't been contacted. They've been talking Bobby Kennedy, Eric Yarber and Matt Lubick too.
Walters name is going to pop up with what our WR corps has done the last couple years.

He was put on that ou hit board before the convention but the Nebraska thing is new. He is just a talented coach and recruiter so this will be common going forward
A couple big donors who post on the MB (Sparky) say they are hearing Walters to Nebraska. TIFWIW

Walters is our best position coach and our best recruiter. I hope HCMM pulls out the stops to keep him. Obviously because we have a young up and coming OC, we are limited in terms of offering him career trajectory (unless Lindgren were to leave like next season or something). But as others have said, would totally blow if it is just a lateral move as WR coach elsewhere.

Pretty sure those NU boosters also claimed Tressell was going to be HC and Frost the OC.
How many times over the past 5+ years have we had to worry about assistant coaches getting poached off this staff? This is just another issue facing successful programs year in, year out, and something that is typically a welcome "problem" to have. It's unfortunate some of these "successful program issues" are happening/rumored before the program is successful again but it does speak volumes about the offensive improvement this team has gone through in just 2 years.

Whole that's true, I'm now more concerned (given recent events) in our ability to successfully replace him if he leaves.
Concern is justified, for sure. However, we should wait and see how this DC hire plays out before passing judgment on HCMM's ability to replace coaches. Regardless of how long it has taken, if it ends up being the right guy, my concern is alleviated.

Nice to hear a voice of reason. hopefully, when it is over this rumor alleviate or concerns about MMac and RG being able to keep good coaches here too.
