Not through any special sets or surprises he shared with the press corps last week, because, gosh, coaches do that all the time. No, it’s simply the twinkle in his eye, the jump in his step and an invisible spark which seems to indicate he’s having a ball in his role as interim Defensive Coordinator thru December 31st and the Huskers’ date in Las Vegas. In fact, he looked so happy talking about it all that I couldn’t resist asking him if he had any thoughts about perhaps trying to jump back into the role in a full-time position again somewhere.
