More Solid News - The Plot Thickens!

[knapplc]

OK, like I said in the other thread, my family have been boosters for a long, long time. I have three uncles on my mom’s side of the family and three more on my dad’s side, plus my folks are boosters and I am a booster, too. So that’s where this info is coming from.

 

I’ve stayed away from asking them if they know anything because I didn’t want to flood the board with baseless rumors, but that seems to be the name of the game, so here’s what they know.

 

Mom’s middle brother says:

 

He lives in Lincoln, and he goes to dinner at Misty’s every Wednesday. Last night he ran into the brother of Tom Osborne’s secretary, who is also a big money donor. His first name is Jim or Jimmy, but I do not know his last name. Sorry about that.

 

Jim told my uncle that TO and Harvey Perlman did meet with Turner Gill in Atlanta, and met with Grobe that same day, plus they talked to Coach Pelini at Baton Rouge on the way. TO was also on the plane from Norfolk that had its flight data hidden, and that plane also went to Atlanta where they spoke to Brian Kelly. Apparently Kelly is the guy they want to hire, but they want to wait a few more days to announce it so it looks like they’re really covering their bases.

 

The scoop is that Gill wants to come back to Nebraska in the worst way, so he’s willing to take the OC job here to get his foot back in the door. He will take this job so he can be on hand if/when Kelly leaves, and he will be the next HC at that point, and most likely finish his career here at Nebraska. Pelini will NOT be hired in any capacity, he was just given an interview to please the donors and fans.

 

Jim said there will be a press conference Sunday, December 2nd to announce Brian Kelly as HC and Coach Gill as OC. No other current assistants are going to be kept at this point, but they will interview some of the offensive assistants before making a final decision.

I thought you just said it was Johnson!

[Captain K]

You've lost your mind!

[knapplc]

I did not say it was anyone. I just reported what I have heard from the only credible sources I know.

WTF??

 

By the way, since when did athletic directors hire offensive and defensive coordinators for the new head coach? That seems a bit amiss . . .

Anyone who has read Knapplc's posts on these rumors knows how he feels about them, so he has decided to dish a couple of doozies to stir the pot and point out how ridiculous some of these rumors sound.

[huskerjack23]

did you write a mad libs form and just inserted names into blank spaces?

[captain obvious]

I feel like Charlie Brown after Lucy pulled the football away from him when he was trying to kick it.

You wound me, sir!

And for that I truly apologize.

I am getting mixed messages too... the brothers of secretaries in restaurants spouting rumors about who the HC will be? I appreciate your candor however I feel that some of your sources seem to be a bit... how shall I say...

I think knapp should be awarded the Pot Stirrer Badge

[huskerbrad319]

this sounds too fishy... why would TO hire the OC when it's the HC's job to do so? If Gill wants to come back to Nebraska, he should start making nice with the HC candidates because I highly doubt he'll get the job.

I'd like to thank everyone at Rumorville for giving me the forum and the initiative to earn this award. I couldn't have done it without you!
