Well your mistaken if you think turning around a small program isn't beneficial to his coaching stock. He will raise more eyes turning around Buffalo then being a OC at NU. The question always arises about coordinators "Their not proven" "no HC experience" "can they handle the day to day ops the position requires" The Urban Meyer's (from the MAC)Paul Johnson's, Brian Kelly's, Jim Leavitt's, Gary Pinkel's (also from the MAC)have all turned around poor to mediocre programs and in Urbans and Pinkels case have moved on to bigger and better things, and they did it as HC's not OC's. And if TO had the opportunity he should have selected one of the above. Also according to ESPN Gill may already be considering the WA St. job True and they didn't coach at Buffalol to get promoted. Gill needs another job before he gets a D1 solid job. So my point was is it to be a OC at NU or would you go to another program for 3-5 years and try it that way? You can get their either way but not directly from Buffalo. Being a MAC coach is a great gig but it means another 3-5 years and he hasn't been offered those jobs anyway! If he is offered Wazzu he should take it. And, FYI most D1 head coaches (about 78%) were coordinators before they were hired or NFL coaches, not Head coaches elsewhere.

Because the local papers aren't telling them that. Most of the BC fans from the begining of the year were only repeating what they read in the papers and heard from other fans. That is why most of the rhetoric was all the same inaccurate info. I think NU fans were told the wrong info and they bought into it. Not blaming them, but if they took a step back and looked at it from a little further distance they would have felt differently earlier.

if you understood human nature, which you obviously don't, you would realize that sometimes it isn't about the money. he's building a program at buffalo. it's not much, but it's more that what was there. and he is appreciated back there, too. does gill strike you as the type who would drop everything for a fat wad of twenties? that his loyalty extends as far as his next paycheck? if gill comes back, it's because he's needed. and TO has asked him to comeback. that said, i don't think gill will be back because TO respects turner too much to ask him to drop his own projects just to become an assistant. I didn't say it was about the money. What I said was he is making peanuts so he wouldn't stay for the money. There isn't any. And his goal isn't to coach Buffalo, he goal is to stay at Buffalo long enough to get a better job and their is nothing wrong with that. He won't be at Buffalo any longer anyway. He is gone from Buffalo and TO is offering him a faster way to a great HC job or he might get a good offer elsewhere but unlikely.

There's no need to be condescending. I assume you mean everyone and not just me right MOD. Anyway, I like your quote on the bottom but you forgot to update it when TO said at the firing of BC press conference that others were in fact in contact with other coaches and they were developing a list of candidates. TO just didn't want to hear about them until after the season. Also, he said that after the KS game the writing was on the wall and it was time to make a change somewhere. And then after CU he decided tha BC needed to be fired. SO it appears he did have some thoughts prior to the end of the season. Your quote needs to be ammended.

This is confirmed. But I didn't pat myself on the back for Pelini as HC. It was actually for talking the 500 NU fans of a bridge when they were going to kill themselves for their very uninformed ideas on football when they praised BC and Co. for months and months all the while questioning those who KNEW he was a worthless piece of garbage. These fans didn't want to face the fact they really don't know how to think on their own b/c they don't understand the real fundementals of football or coaching. I am proud to have saved the lives of 500 basement dwellers because above all else they are Husker fans so I consider them family. Hopefully someday they will grow up enough to direct their hate towards OU or CU fans and not others on this board.

It is kinda funny to me that before anyone knew what was going on I stated that Pud would be fired, TO as interim AD and Pelini as HC. That was before there was even a press conference announced that PUD was going to be fired. Short memories ladies. I don't want credit or praise but again some guys feel the need to bash and I am just giving you info I heard from a UofA athletic dept official this morning.

And your ramblings about Charlie McBride becoming interim HC and BC getting fired after the UT game were also spot on as well! True. I was wrong on that. So I am only about 60% correct. I was wrong on a few things. I also came back on here and said I was wrong and TO was telling the truth when he said he wasn't going to do anyting and he passed the responsibilities to others to look for a coach. I WAS WRONG ON SOME THINGS AND I ADMIT IT. I never hid from that ever. Wish it was higher but there are a lot of people batting .000 around here with big mouths towards me.

Amazing how brilliant some of you guys who were shouting the brilliance of Cally and Co 3 months ago are now experts on coaches.

If those aren't open ended statements then I don't know what is! "Gil will be the OC (at least has been offered but he is thinking about tryint to get a better head job)". There's a "save my own ass if I am wrong" statement there. Also "although Mike Stoops will not be fired from U0fA he was offered the Defensive coordinator job and will definitely accept if UofA loses and will probably still accept even if they win. " Another speculation so if he stays at UofA you can save your butt yet again when you are wrong. Do you ever get tired of this stuff? By the way...How did that "Charlie McBride will become interim HC" and Bill "getting fired after the UT game" predictions work out for ya? Well it says Gill will be here unless by some miracle he gets a great HC offer in the next week which is very unlikely. And Stoops is almost certainly coming. If UofA loses, which they most likely will then he will be here. These are both not obsolutes but they are not open ended either.

Yes, two people that are Head Coaches, are now going to come to Nebraska to take lesser jobs. Makes sense to me Nebraska went from no one wanted to coach here to where they all want to coach and don't care if they are Head Coach. If you understood coaching, which you obviously don't, you would realize that Gill makes chicken feed at a small school and probably needs to go to another small school (like the mac or conference usa) for 3-5 years making a few more peanuts before he even gets considered for a top head job. At NU he will make more money and if he is successful in the next 2-3 years he will be at a top school even better that he would by staying a head coach. Second, Stoops also will make a lot as a DC at NU. His bas salary is again small for a D1 school and he isn't having much success. He will be out of a second chance if he waits to long to start over. He won't take a pay cut and it is obvious he won't be able to win at UofA. Time will tell. But you are mistaken if you think being a HC at a D2 school is better than a OC at NU. And Stoops will be out of a job next year anyway.

see my post and you will see how it is going to be as of now. Gil will NOT be the coach of Buffalo next year either way

Bo Pelini accepted the NU job as we all know. Also, if you doubters want to hate on this info go ahead, but Gil will be the OC (at least has been offered but he is thinking about tryint to get a better head job) and although Mike Stoops will not be fired from U0fA he was offered the Defensive coordinator job and will definitely accept if UofA loses and will probably still accept even if they win. FYI curious who will accuse me of stealing this from another source cause it's not being reported anywhere right now. This is from insidee the athletic dept of UofA

Then don't read it. Take it for what it's worth. Some people here might be happy to know that I heard the same thing ESPN reported. I didn't even know ESPN reported it when I went on here. Don't read it if you don't want to. And bash me if you want I don't care either way. I also can give you the contract details and also which assistants he already said he would keep but you would shout BS anyway. Best of luck haters. I won't bash you for your great views of BC rules and IBR is dumb.

Move all you want. But it's not a rumor. It is complete fact.

It is for a fact that Bo Pelini accepted the NU job around 7 pm Lincoln time. He will coach his last game at LSU tomorrow and be on the job full time come Monday.
