Five Questions about Gill/Pelini

I really like Bo's visceral approach to the game ,the recruiting thing has me a bit worried though Nebraska is not an easy place to recruit to and it does not look like it is going to get any better any time soon :bonez

You can win w/o top recruiting classes. Get players that WANT to play for Nebraska, and coach them into winners

Reading that article I got the feeling that Pelini would put together a better coaching staff. While Pelini hates to recruit I would hazard a guess the staff he puts together would be pretty good at it.

I still think Paul Johnson would be a better choice above those two though.

If you want to play MAJOR COLLEGE FOOTBALL , you have to recruit MAJOR COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYERS and be able to coach them. I love the thought of Turner Gill or Bo Pelini being our head coach, but heart alone is not going to win us National Titles or Big Twelve Titles. If you asked Bo what defense he would rather have , 2003 Huskers, or 2007 LSU Tigers, what one do you think he would pick? You would have to be ignorant to say the 2003 Huskers.

I'd be more than happy with either one of them...

Five Questions about Gill/Pelini

I think the quick turnaround that Gill did in Buffalo is a good indication that he is the man for this job. Sure, he doesn't have a long term head coaching resume, but he obviously has the experience and knowledge of the game. Put him at Nebraska with TO as the AD we can't go wrong! TO will help him with recruits. Honestly, the thought of having BOTH Turner and TO back in Huskerland give me chills and enormous feeling of good things to come. Something most of us haven't had for a while. On a side note, I sent an email to Turner Gill last night and he actually responded. I asked him to PLEASE accept the job if it was offered to him and he responded "Whatever happens to Nebraska football and my future is in the hands of God". He didn't exactly say he wants the job, but he didn't exactly say he doesn't either.

TO+Turner Gill= Glory in Huskerland.

It's a nice perspective. Edge goes to Gill. The opportunities were there, Gill went to Buffalo and gave it a shot. He's doing good things as the head coach. He's learning about managing and dealing with everything. Pelini still only wants to test drive a mercedes without owning a license.
