NEHUSKERS311 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 If this is true I would be very upset if BO was just interviewed to make fans and boosters happy.. Why interview someone if you dont have any intentions on them being hired?? Thats what pud did with BO the first time around and I felt that was crap then.. Now if the rumors are correct an BO didnt knock TOs socks off and TO just didnt feel he was the man then that would make me feel better about him not being the man.. I still like BO an think he is the man for us, but maybe I am just blinded by what I saw him do the one year he was here. Kelly would make a good coach for us and I like the fact that Gill comes back, makes me feel more comfortable about the future knowing if things didnt work out Gill would be there to step in....

NEHUSKERS311 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 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. WTF?? By the way, since when did athletic directors hire offensive and defensive coordinators for the new head coach? That seems a bit amiss . . . Why couldnt he?? TO has said all along he wants to leave the program in good hands for the future. Gill may not be ready to be the HC, but he also wants to help his friend out its a pay raise for Gill an leaves Gill to be taken under TOs wing again.. I can see TO doing this for his friend as long as its what Gill wants.. Quote Link to comment

Why interview someone if you dont have any intentions on them being hired?? Well, this actually happens all the time, especially with minorities. Someone gets interviewed because there is a person or a body of persons overseeing the interview process, whether that's the BCA, the fans, the boosters - whoever, so the interview is conducted with Candidate X just to make things look good, not because they have any real intentions of hiring them.

knapplc Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 Um knappster....while I like your creative writing didn't you just become the thing you despise the most: a troll? Why, yes. Yes I did. I'm using irony as a way of juxtaposing the established roles in the forum, thus proving that all rumors are one and one rumor is too much for all. I have taken the biggest jerk of Rumorville (moi) and made him into that very thing he opposes. Whilst doing so, I have made those who oppose my opposition proponents of my posts. In so doing, I have set the established order on its ear, and made art for art’s sake. It's all very cerebral, really. Quote Link to comment
HuskerKing130 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 So knapplc, this is just a question, but were u being serious in those 2 threads u started about brian kelly & paul johnson or were u just trying 2 stir the pot? just askin... Quote Link to comment

Just between you and me, those were totally made up. But don't tell anyone, because if I'm right then I can say I had insider information and I can win the Rumor contest. Groovy?

I wonder what you could have been doing with your brain/time if you had not done this? Quote Link to comment
