Special teams player Jarrod Cooper underwent surgery Wednesday morning to repair damage to his right knee sustained Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs.
In 2004, tight ends coach Jay Norvell was prohibited from joining Callahan’s staff at Nebraska for several weeks until an agreement was reached.ĭavis also made it difficult for former defensive coordinator Chuck Bresnahan to leave in 2004 when he hired Rob Ryan to replace Bresnahan, and Bresnahan wanted to join the Cincinnati Bengals. Davis has a history of making it difficult for coaches to leave while under contract. Kiffin signed a three-year contract in January and would need to persuade managing general partner Al Davis to let him out of the remaining two years. There’s something people are forgetting here. Monte Kiffin was Arkansas’ defensive coordinator under Lou Holtz from 1977-79. Then again, Raiders defensive tackle Terdell Sands, 6-foot-7 and 335 pounds, could play quarterback against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, too. The Kiffin name still carries weight among the Huskers faithful.Īs for the Arkansas vacancy, several papers from that area cited an unnamed source as saying Kiffin “could be a good fit for the Razorbacks.” Kiffin’s father, Monte, played at Nebraska from 1959-63 and coached there from 1966-76. Thus began a four-year disaster that culminated with Callahan’s firing Saturday. That plan fell apart when Nebraska hired former Raiders coach Bill Callahan. “It’s one of those unique places where you could go from Southern Cal and not feel like you were moving down.” “It’s a national championship-caliber program,” Kiffin said.
