If I had to guess what happened, I'd guess Kirby Hocutt, the Miami AD, called Bo. Based on their relationship, Bo took the call, and without forewarning Bo what the subject was, Hocutt mentioned that he might be/could be/would be interested in having Bo at Miami. My guess is that wouldn't violate any ethics issues (although it would be close on Hocutt's part), nor would it violate Bo's requirement to "get permission" to interview with another school, since this wasn't a formal interview. Hocutt mentioned that he had talked to Bo, and/or Bo mentioned that Hocutt called, and that's how this all got started.

 

Tom wouldn't have given Bo permission, and really, permission wasn't needed. Bo never interviewed, but did have a conversation in which it was brought up, which is why he's wording his statements this way. Bo didn't precipitate the conversation, Bo didn't infer that he was going or considering going, and everything just snowballed because Bo treated it like the nothing it was, when everyone wanted a firm denial.

 

That's my guess as to what happened.

 

My "inside source" has given me a bit of info.

 

Hocutt called Bo, Bo took it not exactly knowing what he wanted to talk about since they know each other. Hocutt and Bo exchanged the normal family things going on, and Hocutt brought up needing to hire a new coach. He asked Pelini if he had any recommendations, Pelini gave him some info on people he's worked with and may be good candidates to interview. Eventually Hocutt quit beating around the bush, and basically asked Pelini if he might be interested. Pelini basically eventually told him thanks, but no thanks. So, Hocutt was trying to pull a coup, but he was also interested in recommendations.

 

Bo will be back, and really with the players we have, the ones redshirted and the ones coming in, I don't know why in the hell he would want to leave. He spent alot of blood, sweat, and tears into getting his players, and now coming round to his 4th year is when this really becomes his baby!!!! I'm telling you all now, we are going to be a "powerful player" for years to come if we can just find some offense.

 

 

Am I your inside source? :lol::D

Michelle Kaufmann, Miami beat writer, latest tweet...

 

@kaufsports

 

#Pelini denies he's "preparing to interview'' at #UM. True. Because he already chatted with UM & apparently isn't interested. Coach-speak.

:yeah

This is the first thing I thought when I read the statement. There was something there. Not a fire, but things were certainly smokin.

 

Pretty much.

 

Sipple's tweet on his Twitter account also gave a bit of a clue why this was even entertained by Bo.

 

As I said before, the administration completely butchered their response to the A&M fiasco.

I've been busy last few weeks and have missed some things. What A&M fiasco? The officiating?

 

he's talking about Perlman's public admonishment of Pelini for his sideline behavior, i believe.

 

And as a whole, their lack of public support for what Bo was actually steamed about to begin with.
