Huskers OC Langsdorf lands on future HC list

Normally when you start to think about assistant coaches from around the country that are hot head coaching candidates, you toss around established names who have been at their school for a while.

That isn't the case for Nebraska's offensive coordinator Danny Langsdorf. He hasn't coached a single game for the Huskers yet but Mike Huguenin of NFL.com has named him as a future head coach for 2015:

"Langsdorf is back with Mike Riley, his former boss at Oregon State, after one season as quarterback coach of the New York Giants. (Trust us: That one season as Eli Manning’s quarterback coach will be mentioned frequently on the recruiting trail.) Langsdorf, who turns 43 in June, was Oregon State’s offensive coordinator and quarterback coach from 2005-13, and was known for offenses that featured both prolific passing attacks and productive running backs. He will be expected to rev up Nebraska’s passing attack, though whether he has a quarterback suited for his offense is a legitimate question. Langsdorf also spent three seasons with the New Orleans Saints (2002-04) as a quality control coach and an assistant wide receiver coach, and that NFL experience plus the good work he did at Oregon State will make him a sought-after commodity should Nebraska’s offense hum along this fall."

If Langsdorf can get the Nebraska offense off to a hot start this season, expect his name to be hot next offseason for him to get the opportunity to lead his own program.
