Marvin Sanders brings passion, familiarity with Pelini's ways
Posted Dec 23, 2007
"When I got the defensive coordinator job at North Carolina (in 2004), Bo told me, 'Just remember, give great effort every single day,'" said Marvin Sanders, who spent three seasons with the Tar Heels before sitting out this season after UNC head coach John Bunting and his staff was fired in 2006. Sanders is at once intense and easygoing. He’s a high-level communicator with an optimistic nature. And some Nebraska fans could use a dose of optimism right now.
