Carl Pelini given pay raise

[HuskerT]

375,000 a year...not too shabby for an interior defensive line coach.

SUH, Turner, Crick and Allen should be expecting a thank you card.

[Count 'Bility]

He isn't just an interior defensive line coach, he is also the defensive coordinator..

Although Carl has the title of defensive coordinator, I would find it hard to believe that BO isn't the brains behind the D.

 

Neither, we all know Watson is THE D coordinator, he's the best at stopping an offense.

The Cornhuskers have gone from having one of the nation's worst defenses to one of the best the past two seasons, and head coach Bo Pelini has received almost all the credit from fans and media.

 

Big brother Carl? Mostly overlooked.

 

"I think he has," Bo Pelini said. "Yeah, it's my system, quote-unquote, but it has evolved and changes year to year. Obviously, Carl has done a phenomenal job."

 

Fans still wonder who really is in charge of the defense.

 

Is it Bo, 42, who carries the defensive play sheet on game days?

 

Is it Carl, 44, who stands next to Bo and sends signals from the sideline?

 

The Pelinis give the same answer, one corroborated by the players: Calls are made by committee, with give-and-take between the assistants and Bo.

 

"Because I signal, I'm not carrying the call sheet," Carl said. "Bo might say, 'Let's bring pressure.' I'll throw out a blitz and then we'll decide which one. Or I'll say, 'Let's go get him,' and he'll throw out a blitz."'

 

The most tangible evidence of Carl's impact is on the defensive line, the position he oversees along with ends coach John Papuchis.

 

"Evaluate me in terms of the performance of my players," Carl said, "and I think any idea of nepotism will go away."

............

 

Bo clearly handled the day-to-day management of the defense in 2008. But with Bo devoting more time to the Huskers' struggling offense since midseason, Carl has taken the lead role in game-planning.

 

The Huskers are second nationally in scoring defense at 11.2 points a game. That's a substantial improvement from 28.5 last year and 37.3 in 2007. They've allowed only 55 points in second halves, fewest in the nation.

 

They're ninth in total defense (285 ypg), an improvement from 55th last year (350 ypg) and 112th (477 ypg) two years ago.

 

Suh said the public might think Bo is running the whole show, but the players know different.

 

"I would say it's both of them," Suh said. "They choose and pick their turns when they step up. They're definitely great leaders in my eyes. I would say coach Carl more or less is put in the bigger position because he's the D-coordinator. He speaks to us the majority of the time."

I can't help but wonder what Callahan/Cosgrove think about our turnaround...

 

 

 

 

(I suddenly forgot their first names)...

Is that a good sign?

So you're sayin' the Booster actually approved of his wife "making friends" with Carl?

 

 

NORM!!!

 

 

 

"How's life treating you, Norm?"

"Like it caught me sleeping with its wife."

 

 

"Women. Can't live with 'em ... pass the beer nuts."

 

 

 

 

"Hey Mr. Peterson, there's a cold one waiting for you."

"I know, if she calls, I'm not here."

 

 

"Can I draw you a beer, Norm ?"

"No, I know what they look like. Just pour me one."

 

 

"How's a beer sound, Norm?"

"I dunno. I usually finish them before they get a word in."

 

 

"What's shaking, Norm?"

"All four cheeks and a couple of chins."

 

 

"What would you say to a nice beer, Normie?"

"Going Down?"

 

 

"What's new, Normie?"

"Terrorists, Sam. They've taken over my stomach and they're demanding beer."

 

 

"What'll it be, Normie?"

"Just the usual Coach. I'll have a froth of beer and a snorkel."

 

 

"What would you say to a beer, Normie?"

"Daddy wuvs you."

 

 

"What'd you like, Normie?"

"A reason to live. Give me another beer."

 

 

"What'll you have, Normie?"

"Well, I'm in a gambling mood Sammy. I'll take a glass of whatever comes out of that tap."

"Looks like beer, Norm."

"Call me Mister Lucky."

 

 

"What'd you say, Norm?"

"Any cheap, tawdry thing that will get me a beer."

 

 

"What would you say to a beer, Norm?"

"Hiya, sailor. New in town?"

 

 

(Coming in from the rain)

"Evening everybody."

Everybody: "Norm!"

"Still pouring, Norm?"

"That's funny, I was about to ask you the same thing."

 

 

"Whaddya say, Norm?"

"Well, I never met a beer I didn't drink."

 

 

"Hey Norm, how's the world been treating you?"

"Like a baby treats a diaper."

 

 

"Would you like a beer Mr.. Peterson?"

"No, I'd like a dead cat in a glass."

 

 

"How's life treating you?"

"It's not, Sammy, but you can."

 

 

"What's the story, Mr. Peterson?"

"The Bobbsey twins go to the brewery. Let's cut to the happy ending."

 

 

"Beer, Norm?"

"Have I gotten that predictable? Good."

 

 

"What's going on, Mr. Peterson?"

"A flashing sign in my gut that says, 'Insert beer here.'"

 

 

"Hey Mr. Peterson, Jack Frost nipping at your nose?"

"Yep, now let's get Joe Beer nipping at my liver, huh?"

 

 

"What's going on, Mr. Peterson?"

"Another layer for the winter, Wood."

 

 

"Whatcha up to, Norm?"

"My ideal weight if I were eleven feet tall."

 

 

"How's it going Mr. Peterson?"

"Poor."

"I'm sorry to hear that."

"No, I mean pour."

 

"What's going down, Normie?"

"My butt cheeks on that bar stool."

 

 

"Pour you a beer, Mr. Peterson?"

"Alright, but stop me at one....make that one-thirty."

 

 

"How's it going Mr. Peterson?"

"It's a dog eat dog world, Woody and I'm wearing Milk Bone underwear.

 

 

"What's the story, Norm?"

"Boy meets beer. Boy drinks beer. Boy meets another beer."

 

 

"How's about a beer, Norm?"

"That's that amber sudsy stuff, right? I've heard good things about it!"

 

 

"What's going on, Mr. Peterson?"

"The question is, `what's going 'in' Mr. Peterson?" A beer, please, Woody."

 

 

"Can I pour you a beer, Mr. Peterson?"

"A little early isn't it, Woody?"

"For a beer?" "No, for stupid questions."

Considering the ego of those two morons, I'm guessing they're thinking it's all about the players they recruited.
