ESPN rumor central

Please don't cite ESPN as a source for anything. They are just trying to sell you their product. Don't fall for it.

 

I bet their "source" is a Nebraska message board.

 

Ive been using ESPN's source and its quite accurate. The Magic 8-Ball is like $5.99

touche gibson...well played

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.

Who is "the crusty one?" You're calling TO crusty? That's a new one.

And I was happily surprised to learn that Rich Rodriguez was going to be our new head coach. Pelini and Gill were both 'My sources say no.' June Jones was a 'Most likely'.

=?

 

Just as an FYI - I've seen a couple of guys on another board get in trouble when they hotlink a photo, because some Admins will re-route hotlinked "normal" photos so they show pretty graphic, nasty porn instead.

 

It's always better to use Imageshack or Photobucket or something like that. Better safe than sorry.

Buffalo head coach Turner Gill and LSU defensive coordinator Bo Pelini are the final two candidates for the Nebraska coaching job, ESPN.com has learned. A final decision and subsequent announcement are expected soon, perhaps by Thursday, according to sources familiar with the search. Nebraska interim athletic director Tom Osborne, who is conducting the search, was phoning others to apprise them Wednesday that the process was winding to a close. Pelini reportedly interviewed with Osborne -- where he apparently didn't wow Osbourne -- in Baton Rouge on Sunday, while Gill might have interviewed Monday. Osborne was in Atlanta Monday, which is where Parker Executive Search -- the firm hired by Nebraska to assist with the search -- is headquartered.

 

A source close to Wake Forest indicated that coach Jim Grobe interviewed with Nebraska in Atlanta on Nov. 26.

 

So according to ESPN it's down to two candidates and an announcment could come as soon as today even though our AD is on the road recruiting and has publicly said that he wants to interview more candidates and a decision could come as late as the middle of next week???? Something isn't smelling right and I think it's coming from Bristol......

 

 

Let me get this straight, even though ESPN says Pelini had an bad interview, now ESPN think it's comes down to Pelini and Gill? I guess, Grobe interview was an disaster, if T.O. is still considering between the other two.

We might be down to two finalists because Grobe said thank you but no thank you, or we could be down to two finalists because TO thought it was too much of a financial burden to buy out Grobe's contract. I have no idea whether or not Kelly will be interviewed or not.

 

I understand where you are coming from in terms of Turner Gill, but I think we all must remember a couple of things. First, TO didn't hand him the reigns 10 years ago. I realize this was because Solich was probably more deserving and had spent the better part of his life in this program. However, Gill wasn't even handed the reigns when Solich was fired. You had to know that Gill didn't stand a chance in the interview process with Pud before Clownahan was hired because he wasn't even named the interim HC for the bowl game.

 

I'm still in the camp that is hoping TO has at least one more candidate to inverview. I'm holding out for Kelly. IMO, he's still the best candidate.

I'm sure you'll recall that Bill Callahan once referred to TO as a "Crusty Old f#*k".

Ah. No, sorry, I had forgotten that. Thanks for reminding me.

ESPN hates Nebraska. Ignore anything they say.

Our local guys will have the scoop when T.O. speaks.

This is the same network that claimed Monte Kiffin was interviewing, Monte had to basically call a press conference to say ESPN was full of shite
