Tim Skipper

[Snout team]

Man this staff has potential.  Sure looks like we are getting some stud recruiters.  I don't know how much difference they can make for this year but 2019 should be 🔥

[SooieGeneris]

I found that he has a background coaching LB at Fresno and UF, but has coached RBs as well like his Dad and brother. Does he have a background in special teams? I couldn't find anything on his resume about ST, that and the GA connection is why I thought Scott might be retained.

Buddy Wyatt's bio from Neb

A long-time assistant with coaching and recruiting ties to the Big 12, Big Ten and SEC, Buddy Wyatt was hired in December 2006 by Coach Bill Callahan to guide the Husker defensive line.

Wyatt jumped right into the fray as he assisted the Huskers during their preparations for the Cotton Bowl, where NU's starting defensive front four combined for 17 tackles, including three for loss and two sacks. This year Wyatt will oversee replacing four starters on the line while working with a solid core of young talent.

In June of 2007, Wyatt was recognized when he was selected to participate in the Expert Coaches Academy, an NCAA program that addresses the critical shortage of ethnic minorities in head coaching positions in the sport of college football, primarily at the Division I level. He is the third Husker assistant in the past two years to be invited.

Wyatt came to the Huskers with 15 years of Division I coaching experience, including spending his previous four seasons as the defensive line coach at the University of Alabama. During Wyatt's tenure in Tuscaloosa, the Crimson Tide annually ranked among the nation's top defenses.

Alabama ranked 18th nationally in total defense and 29th in scoring defense during the 2006 campaign. A year earlier, the defense paced the Crimson Tide to a 10-2 record and a Cotton Bowl victory, ranking first nationally in scoring defense (10.7 ppg), second in total defense (255.1 ypg) and ninth against the run (94.3 ypg). Alabama also ranked second nationally in total defense (245.5 ypg) and was seventh in scoring defense in 2004.

Wyatt is also recognized as one of the nation's top recruiters. Wyatt has been responsible for recruiting the Mississippi High School Player of Year to the Crimson Tide program each of his last two seasons—running back Terry Grant in 2006 and Jimmy Johns in 2005.  Wyatt helped attract top-20 ranked recruiting classes to Tuscaloosa in each of his last three campaigns, while focusing much of his recruiting efforts in the state of Florida.

A native of Victoria, Texas, Wyatt also has an outstanding track record of recruiting in the state of Texas, specifically during his time at Texas A&M from 2000 to 2002. Among Wyatt's top recruits with the Aggies was defensive lineman Johnny Jolly, a rookie with the Green Bay Packers in 2006.

In addition to his most recent stop at Alabama, Wyatt has five years of experience at Big 12 Conference schools, including working as a defensive line coach at Oklahoma State, Colorado and Texas A&M.

Wyatt took over the Alabama defensive line after three seasons as part of R.C. Slocum's coaching staff at Texas A&M from 2000 to 2002. While with the Aggies, Wyatt helped coach future NFL players Rocky Bernard, Ty Warren, Ronald Edwards and Ronald Flemons, and assisted on two A&M teams that played in bowl games. Nebraska Associate Athletic Director for Football Operations Tim Cassidy was on the Texas A&M staff with Wyatt.

Wyatt was a member of Gary Barnett's coaching staffs for three seasons from 1997 to 1999. He coached the Northwestern defensive line in 1997 and 1998, then moved to the University of Colorado with Barnett in 1999, where he helped the Buffs to an appearance in the Insight.com Bowl. While Wyatt was a member of Barnett's staffs he worked with Husker offensive coordinator Shawn Watson, who served as an offensive assistant under Barnett at both schools.

Wyatt's first stop in the Big 12 Conference came at Oklahoma State in 1996, where he served as the defensive line coach for Bob Simmons. While with the Cowboys, Wyatt coached defensive tackle Jamal Williams, who is currently one of the top defensive linemen in the NFL with the San Diego Chargers.

The first full-time coaching stop for Wyatt came at the University of Minnesota from 1992 to 1995. He served under Head Coach Jim Wacker, who was Wyatt's college coach at TCU.

Wyatt played for the Horned Frogs as a defensive lineman from 1986 to 1989. He graduated from TCU with a degree in education in 1990. After two seasons in the professional ranks, Wyatt returned to his alma mater where he served as a graduate assistant during the 1991 campaign.

Wyatt is joined in Lincoln by his wife, Andrea, and children Fredrick and Ariel.

I'd take Skipper over Buddy

[opineonswine]

I'd take Skipper over Buddy

I think it may be both...Buddy instead of John Scott.

[Hawg Life]

I think it may be both...Buddy instead of John Scott.

I think so too if Traylor handles special teams. Scott's role was/is most likely STC, with some emphasis on a position. Staff was supposed to be announced last Thursday, so things are definitely changing. The current names seem better than the names previously mentioned.

[rljjr]

10th coach. Hmmm. Who are 6-9?

[King Kong]

I think it may be both...Buddy instead of John Scott.

Excellent information

[farmhawg]

Who the frik is Tim Skipper?

Google is your friend.

[ricepig]

Excellent information

Yeah, pay board speculation.

[opineonswine]

Yeah, pay board speculation.

Do people still pay for that?

[King Kong]

Yeah, pay board speculation.

Even better

[ricepig]

Do people still pay for that?

Someone in this thread obviously still does.

[opineonswine]

Someone in this thread obviously still does.

You, I presume?  I was summarily dismissed back in the Nutt days from all of those.

[ricepig]

You, I presume?  I was summarily dismissed back in the Nutt days from all of those.

Well, you post info right after it appears on one of them. I guess you're clairvoyant.

[opineonswine]

Well, you post info right after it appears on one of them. I guess you're clairvoyant.

You think those guys are the only ones with info?  ha  That's why paying seems ridiculous to me.

[JIHawg]

Who's got special teams and why has he got it?

[Hawg Life]

Who's got special teams and why has he got it?

Traylor makes the most sense.

[ricepig]

Well, you need a faster source then, it was out last night.

[Hawg Life]

Read page 1

[Wildhog]

I'd love this hire.

[ricepig]

I'd love this hire.

Yeah, makes too much sense, better not get your hopes up.

[WaltonCollege]

Yeah, makes too much sense, better not get your hopes up.

Lol

[Johnny Bobo]

Who are the other nine?

LOL! 

[opineonswine]

Well, you post info right after it appears on one of them. I guess you're clairvoyant.

So which is it? You can't have it both ways Donald.

I do? When I read something elsewhere, I say "I read elsewhere" , RD has told me to say, "RD says"....

[Hawg Life]

Who cares where info comes from? Let's stay on topic. This kind of stuff ruins threads. If something comes from a pay board, and you didn't pay then good for you.

[Wildhog]

Looks like the perfect fit for us.  Morris needs to make this happen.

[Bash]

In hope he's not recruiting in this dead period

I hope he is. 

[King Kong]

Looks like the perfect fit for us.  Morris needs to make this happen.

No doubt. When need a stud in Louisiana

[MasterChiefHog]

I like the Florida experience and Fresno State. Fresno State was one of my favorite G5 teams under Pat Hill. They got after it

I did too! I remember watching Carr and tearing it up against USC and the others. I was stationed on the Westcoast and forced to watch PAC games. I caught Stanford beat Texas back then too when they had Willingham. Texas had knocked Stanford QB out of the game and this freshmen came in and kept them alive. Glad the SEC Network is around now.

[ChicoHog]

He's from New Orleans and went to Fresno St?  that is strange.  Must not have been highly recruited.  Or maybe went to JC and then transferred to Fresno.  Either way I like the New Orleans connection.  We need that with Smith gone.

Hey, no room for waffling here.  You have to choose one or the other.  Mary Ann or Ginger?

Mary Ann all day.

Especially today.

Great LA recruiter

https://247sports.com/Coach/Tim-Skipper-822/AllTimeRecruits

I only see one LA recruit on the list. Granted, he's a good get, but I don't see the evidence for Skipper being particularly effective there.

Very nice! Thank you for the links. I guess he's the "get us in the door" guy for LA recruits.

[ricepig]

So, Hawg Life, I've yet to see this rumored anywhere else, still going with it?

[Inhogswetrust]

Both at the same time!

Yes.. he's in the mix, so time will tell. He checks all boxes.
