Ohio State officially interviewed Pelini for job

Hey I didn't see it posted anywhere in this thread so I thought I should mention that Sipple tweeted that Bo has denied talking to OSU...
That's because Pelini didn't talk to them, but likely his agent did. That's how coaches can skirt the lie factor, they utilize their agent to start the discussions.
I believe this definitely has merit. I have no idea whether this is true with regards to Bo, but this is exactly what happened with Urban Meyer. He said he had not been in contact, but I think we all know his agent was in hard negotiations when he made the statement on live tv.

 
It would not shock me if Bo is being "encouraged" to interview for other opportunities.
I had to edit this post. I apologize for calling you a 'Troll' You are welcomed to this board and are entitled to your opinion. I just don't share it. :(

Of course agents are how these hires are made. We're talking jobs that make millions of dollars a year. You don't walk in and fill out an application.

Bo isn't Urban Meyer.

But since this has spread and could be hurting Coach Pelini I have to respectfully retract. More on this as I can find out.

The problem is I don't have time to get to the bottom of this right now. I have a press conference to attend.

two impeccable sources would have this wrong -- separately. It makes me wonder if #OhioState put on some sort of front, quite frankly.

They are trusted, knowledgeable sources who have never steered me wrong. But Coach Pelini says he's a man of his word and I will take him...

Bo Pelini told LJS Steve Sipple that the rumors everyone is buzzing about are TOTALLY BOGUS!!! Kevin Kugler on 1620 the Zone just shared this. Hopefully, it will be in the paper tonight.

So! Bo is here to stay! Bo says there is no truth to these rumors whatsoever!!!

http://my.journalsta...es_report_.html

People dont believe this because of what happens all over the college football landscape... Nick Saban said there was no way he would end up at Alabama, Urban Meyer denied it on TV just days ago, and his daughter tweeted this “Stop txting me abt my dad. HE IS NOT repeat NOT, GOING TO OHIO STATE. thanks.”, and right now I am listening to her dad talk about how excited he is to be at tOSU. I heard what Sipple and others are saying and they might be right, but when you have so many flat out deny things that turn out to be true, we (fans) tend to mistrust coaches when they this.

 
I will start a blog and say anything I want about NE football and the majority of you guys will believe it! What a joke!

 
I can understand UM denying the rumors. Think it wasn't a done deal at the time and out of respect for Fickel (sp?)

 
anyone else get tired of hearing Bo interviewing for any position he can? I am tired of his talk of loyalty and bothers, and yet he does this crap. I wanted to give Bo more time to shine, but this is just BS. I hope TO just fires him.
Any position he can? There's a rumor he talked to Miami, but the reality of that discussion is it was more friend-to-friend than "I want that job." Now we have flat denials that he ever interviewed for the Buckeye job, and the one guy promulgating that story is backing off. In fact, when Bo called him to discuss it, he REALLY backed off. I can just imagine how that call went.

So how does one conversation with a buddy and one false rumor equate to "any position he can?" I'm not seeing it.
Are you 100% Bo had no interest in the Miami job whatsoever?

Me: Yes. Do you have proof otherwise?

You: Of course I can't show you proof - I can't link to conversations I've had.

Me: Then we are at an impasse.

You: I'm afraid so. I can't prove that it happened, and you can't prove that it didn't.

Me: You're that sure?

You: Yes.

Me: Really. In that case, I challenge you to a battle of wits.

And so on and so forth. Suddenly we're discussing land wars in Asia and someone's dead from iocane powder. We've all read this script.

I don't really like the idea of them denying the rumors all the while their agent is in hard negotiations. I would have rather heard a no comment come from UM's mouth than an absolute denial, but that's just me.

Somewhere along the line you have to trust people. I choose to trust that Bo is being honest. That he didn't back down and actually called this joker-Rapp out when he is usually so tight lipped about every thing supports my (only mine not anyone elses :) ) contention that Bo did not interview for the Ohio State position. We went through this last spring when Jim Tressell (sp?) was fired. It's just 'playing with poop' to have to go through all of it again.

Maybe I'm just too trusting but I refuse to live my life this way. Until Bo isn't here anymore, I'm going to support him/the other coaches and players. GO BIG RED!

This guy just lost a ton of credibility. He never said that Bo's AGENT interviewed with Ohio State. He said that BO did. He could get into some serious legal trouble if he doesn't watch out.

Ha ha! The Internet police are probably knocking down his door right this minute.

Wait until it comes out that the basis of Bo's and TO's fight (the feeler contact with B10 AD's to see if its ok to hire another B10 coach) is dismissed by athletic departments saying that question was never asked to them.
