I shared this back over the winter, when Fisher was initially hired.

I have a good friend who is a die-hard Nebraska fan.  He was extremely disappointed to see Fisher depart, indicating that he'd improved the play of the secondary [U]immensely[/U] after he began coaching at Nebraska.

He relayed a story from when Fisher first got hired there -- basically, he came in and told the incumbents that it was his job to recruit over everyone in the secondary room.  And it was their job to prevent the newcomers from taking their jobs.

Apparently, they also had a highly rated safety -- don't recall if he was a 5-star, or a 4-star -- who'd underachieved relative to the recruiting ranking.  Fisher straightened him out, and I think he went on to be an impact player under his coaching.  Kid might have gotten drafted last April, not really sure who it was.

But it was cool to hear those kind of stories.  Looking forward to him keeping our secondary humming along, with NFL caliber play.
