Looks like Pelini will have several Nebraska guys on the staff, so hopefully this rests the minds of those saying Pelini isn't a Nebraska guy.

Pelini to be announced NU coach at 4 (updated)
A news conference will announce LSU defensive coordinator Bo Pelini as Nebraska’s new head football coach at 4 p.m. today.
The announcement will take place on the sixth floor of Memorial Stadium.
Before the announcement, players will meet with Pelini.
Pelini’s LSU team just won the SEC title Saturday with a 21-14 win over Tennessee.
The announcement comes eight days after Bill Callahan was fired after four seasons.
Four years ago, when Steve Pederson was looking to replace Frank Solich and chose Callahan, the search took 41 days.
Pelini, who will turn 40 in 11 days, served as a defensive coordinator at Nebraska in 2003. It will be his first head coaching job.
Two sources told the Journal Star that former Husker assistant Ron Brown will definitely be part of Pelini's Nebraska staff. Marvin Sanders is also in town and will be part of the staff.
Past interviews indicate that other leading candidates to be part of Pelini’s staff at Nebraska would include Carl Pelini and Barney Cotton. It also seems likely that current assistant Shawn Watson could be on the staff.
The Huskers ranked 11th in total defense and led the country in turnover margin the season Pelini served as defensive coordinator.
The year before Pelini arrived, Nebraska ranked 55th in total defense. The year after he left, the Huskers ranked 56th.
When Solich was fired after the 2003 regular season, Pelini served as interim coach for Nebraska in the Alamo Bowl. The Huskers won the game 17-3 and fans chanted "We want Bo!" as the team left the field.
