I haven't read all the responses, but apparently Cody Green has done the best in 7 on 7 drills during winter conditioning. That's good news. We need all these young guys to really pick it up this spring.

I was able to speak to a few of the kids I know on the team. They are pretty tight lipped and only said that there will be an announcement later. FWIW...I did find out yesterday morning that BP is going to be the new coach. All the details are needing to be hammered out b4 the announcement. Also there will be a PC later today to announce Pelini as new HC. This is why TO will be going on the recruiting trail Thurs and Friday to inform new recruits of the new coach, etc. I don't have the time for the PC, just that it will be today. The source I have has been spot on the past few month's w/regards to all that has gone down. I guess we'll see if his info is correct.

Why would booster be at the interviews? Did they applaud when they liked the answers given and boo when they did'nt? My guess is because the high level one's are putting up the money for the new HC. They have quite a bit of pull in who should be coaching and who not. As I said, I'll try and get in contact w/the kids I know on the team this evening and post it here if I get confirmation from them that they have been told who the new HC will be.

ooohhh major HIPPA violation's there if this is true.

I know some of the kids on the team. I'll try and get an update from them this evening. From what I've heard is the new HC will be named in this meeting, w/a PC to introduce the new HC tomorrow. I don't have a link, however I have connections to some high level boosters who were at these interviews.

Ditch the Big 12 title game I support. It was bad at the beginning and it's bad now. Most likely OU will beat MU and once again shut-out the Big 12 from the national title picture.

Very creative...but zero chance of it happening.

See Charlie Weiss and Billy C. Carroll is just 1 of a very few who was able to make the transition smoothly.

LSU fan's are saying they need to have an interim DC as BP is gone.

Exactly. BP should've been the man 4 year's ago. Yes he was very green, however I think he would've been more aptly suited for NU than Billy C. Also, for TG...coming back home to be an Asst hc and OC isn't a step down IMO. I would be willing to bet if offered that opportunity came about after not getting the HC job at NU, that he'd jump all over it.

TO has too much class to do that to anyone.

I see that as a very strong and definitely good possibility.

TO will most likely stay out of the way of who the new HC wants. However I'll bet that part of his hiring criteria will include adding former Husker coaches to the staff to help bring back that history and tradition,etc. So yes you are correct he may not tell the new HC specifically who to hire, but would probably tell him in order to get the job they would need to be open and hire a few assistant's w/prior Nebraska ties. This is why I think that there are really only 2 candidates for this job....BP and TG. Well I would NOT be a fan of that! It would be like Pud all over again! Too much control in things that he need not be in control of. Grant it I am all for tradition and such but I am not for someone spoon feeding to a coach so to speak. One thing about Bo that he has going for him, is he know's our traditions already. The difference is TO know's football....PUD didn't.

Please no. I think I'm gonna hurl if Davie were the new HC.

Who cares? I could care less if he has to clean latrine's for the rest of his life. He's no longer HC at Nebraska. I wish him well in whatever he decides to do. Just do it away from Nebraska.

From what I've been told, Gill is being interviewed for Asst HC and OC. With the understanding that if (this is a big if) Pelini leaves, that Gill will be the most likely candiate to replace BP. Also being offered more money than what he's making at Buffalo and a chance to come home again.

And he probably won't be either.

FWIW--Here is yet another rumor posted on another board. From a former player...Bo has "Unofficially" accepted the HC position. With TO having to wait untill after the CU game and Bo in the hunt for a possible National Championship, the announcment can't be made. But from all reports out of Lincoln by former players (who work and live in the area), Bo is the man. Don't shoot the messenger, just trying to pass on what I have been told.. Have at it.

I hadn't heard about that. When did this happen? After the KU game.

This is why Billy C won't be retained. Coz has already tried to quit once this year and Billy C flat out refused his resignation. If changes are going to be made it would have to be th AD making them and the only 1 I see that he's going to make is by giving Billy C his pink slip. No way Billy C will agree to fire coaches from his team. This will make him look like a failure. And he doesn't want that on his resume. It would give the appearance that he's not a good judge of talent where coaching is concerned. Also he would need to give up the play calling and he won't put up w/this.

"Basically, they just told us this is a business," Peterson said. "It's about putting a product on the field and when you put the product we've put out this year, eventually there's going to be some changes. Whether it be this year, we don't know, we can't control that. They haven't talked about it too much because obviously it's not something we want to hear. But that's just the nature of the beast." This is a quote from Todd Peterson.

Sorry man,this just isn't true. FWIW, I know 2 of the current player's on the team (1 a starter the other a top back-up). They have said that Billy C has (not in so many words) told them that he will not be back next year. That he was asked to resign and refused. That he will also not fire Coz or any of the current coaches.

I wouldn't go that far. How many teams were running out to recruit the best option QB's when we were dominating everyone in the mid-90's? I think the reason the spread is so popular is the fact that some teams can't get the best talent every year. Look at West Virginia. I think they've only had 1 or 2 top 25 recruiting classes in the last 5 years. If you can't get the best, run the best offense that neutralizes the best defenses. Plus, the NFL is changing to a more mobile type QB that is adequate to good at running the ball and good to great at throwing the ball. Who cares if the QB running it get's to the NFL? It only needs to be good enough to help win Championships at the college level. Look at Ganz, good college QB, doubtful if he even gets a sniff from pro scouts to be a QB let alone any other position. Sucks for him, but great for us.

TO has already said if a coaching change is made, it'll be done after the CU game, not a bowl game if we qualify.
