TLS2 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I guess I'm not convinced he's the man for the job. I remember how he went ballistic at that last bowl game. I think he is a good defensive coordinator but I think someone stepping into this job needs to be not only knowlegable but also polished. For my part, I think someone like Turner Gill, who even though he is not as experienced, has a little more finesse than Bo. I just don't want to be embarrassed again by a coach who can't control his temper, then have to hear about it for weeks on end after the game. Any thoughts? TLS2 Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 imo, no to pelini and no to gill. Quote Link to comment
huskernumerouno Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I like his fire, but I see what you are saying also. I think that if he does end up here it will be made perfectly clear what Nebraska is and should be. Quote Link to comment
REDSTEEL Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Maybe T.O can hire the bootlegger boy. Quote Link to comment

TLS2 I love it when a coach shows some damn passion for the game and his team every once in awhile. He may not have been ready 4 years ago, however I think he's more than ready now.

TLS2 Some of the stuff I've been reading about him lately indicate he's matured a little while at LSU and seems to have a good handle on his priorities. Even laughing more. I "pity the foo" conference of the team that he ends up being the head coach for. I wouldn't mind having Gill either.. So many of you are basing your opinions on 4 year old data...Habits change. Especially when becoming the HBC somewhere or coaching with another staff. Quote Link to comment
HUSKER 37 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Maybe T.O can hire the bootlegger boy. I've also heard some great things about some guy named "JoePa" or something that might be looking to change jobs...Or was it Bobby Borden at one of those dang Fla. schools? Quote Link to comment

HSKRNOKC Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 to answer the question of the topic... yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes and yes.... I agree. Would love to have him with the right assistants. Quote Link to comment
occdocc Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I still think Joe Glenn from Wyoming should get some consideration. Nebraska boy with a great resume at Northern Colorado and now turning Wyoming around. Remember, that's where we got Devaney! Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I'd support Bo as head coach if the powers that be decide that he's the guy. As a fan I think that's my responsibility considering I don't choose who's "in office". However, I don't think he's the guy. Fans love him for obvious reasons. Goes nuts on the sidelines. Yells and old men, etc, etc. I just don't think those are the qualities a head coach needs to possess. An assistant or coordinator, sure. Most of our coordinators and position coaches now are quite animated on the sidelines. Quote Link to comment
Dundermifflinite Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Dave... I like the Dave Chappelle thing, but please, bring back the boucing creature...or at least tell us where we could find one of our own. Quote Link to comment
Zaimejs Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 From Wikipedia: Pelini was raised in Youngstown, Ohio, a former center of steel production with a strong athletic tradition. He played free safety for the Ohio State University Buckeyes from 1987 to 1990, starting in 1989 and 1990. Pelini served as a team co-captain in his senior year, along with Vinnie Clark, Jeff Graham and Greg Frey. His coaching career has included stints with the San Francisco 49ers (defensive backs), the New England Patriots (linebackers), the Green Bay Packers (linebackers), the Nebraska Cornhuskers (defensive coordinator) and the Oklahoma Sooners (co-defensive coordinator). Pelini was also interim head coach at the time of the Cornhuskers' 2003 Alamo Bowl victory over Michigan State. Bo Pelini has been mentioned as a candidate for head coaching jobs at Division 1-A schools, among them Texas A&M and Nebraska (if vacancies arise).[1][2] I thought that last line was pretty fricking interesting.
