The thing I don't understand is that if Pelini didn't "wow" The Crusty One then why is he one of two finalists? I just don't see a scenario where Osborne calls Turner Gill up on the phone and says, "Sorry, I know you're a great coach and have turned Buffalo around...and I was best man in your wedding and speak to you once a week, but I am offering the HC job to Bo Pelini." No way that happens.
With all I am hearing about the personal and professional connections between Osborne and Gill, I think the writing is on the wall. The only thing that would cause me any doubt that Gill would be named is the fact that he hasn't been named YET. Let's get on with this thing so we can get assistants in here and get on the recruiting trail.
