Pelini back to the SEC?

[HuskerShark]

If Ohio State couldn't get Bo, I find it hard to believe ANYWHERE would get him. Ohio State is a wealthy program with a fanatical fanbase, successful history, good talent, good recruiting base, great facilities, and has great tradition and culture where, if i recall correctly, HE PLAYED FOOTBALL. With all of those good things going for it, he still turned them down. This says Nebraska is where he wants to be. Until it is no longer his choice, he is staying.

 

Urban Meyer was obviously tOSU's top choice, for good reason. It would have been interesting if they would have been more interested in Bo and made it known publicly. It would have been an interesting situation to say the least.

Bo was the first person they wanted, but Bo denied the job, said he had no interest. If he would have said he would take it, I am almost positive they would have stopped their search and Meyer would never have been mentioned. Like I have said before in another thread, this is Bo's home. He has a lot of love for the program, the players & alumni, and a lot of love for the fans, whether most see it or not. He isn't going anywhere. This is his home, not because I am saying it, but because the facts are right there in front of everyone. He came back to Nebraska. I don't think it was because of it just being for a HC gig, but for that option to coach where he loved coaching at. If UT and NU were both to offer him a job at that time, I whole heartily believe, he would have still chosen Nebraska.

That's because UT is full of asshats

Hasn't Pelini's broad gone on record as saying how much she hated Baa-Tawn Rouge? Auburn and Fayetteville make it look like Metropolis or Gotham. That alone would raise doubts.

[onlyHskrfaninIL]

No kidding! Just on the face of it, why in the world would Bo leave a prestigious job like Nebraska to go to a second rate job like Auburn where he would always have to be competing with Alabama? And Arkansas? Puhleeze!!!

Money, easier recruiting, coaching in the best conference in the country, money, new AD here, less pressure from fanbase....he can find reasons

Money- Maybe Arky for Walmart money. Auburn already has a 8Mil buyout for Chizik

Easier Recruiting- They are surrounded be LSU, Texas A&M, Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Florida, etc. I wouldn't say easier

New AD here- He is about to win a conference championship and BCS Bowl Berth. He good.

Less Pressure- Ummm...it's the SEC.

If that is the case, he would have left a long time ago.

This is the first time I ever heard that Bo turned down the Ohio St job, or declined to interview or however you want to put it. Is there any supporting evidence at all of this? Link?

[HuskerNationNick]

What are you wanting evidence of? Him turning down the job? There is a lot of rumors out there. Ohio State was interested in Bo, but Bo denies he ever went for an interview and said he wasn't interested. Bo's name was the first one to come up in the public about the HC position.

 

I think he is quick to put this one to bed since we all know how the last allegation went lol

[ADS]

Bo has 2 big games left in the regular season. A potential matchup wiscy in the big ten championship game. Plus a possible rose bowl birth, I doubt pig sooie is on his mind.

Wow dude

[HuskerShark]

I just did a quick browse through a couple of different message boards for Auburn, Arkansas, and Tennessee, and none of the fans of those teams gave serious mention of Bo Pelini as their next coach. The only ones that even mentioned his name laughed it off or said hell no.

 

Bo is here whether he likes it or not.

Im not sure approval of message board posters makes the list of concerns when ADs are weighing candidates.

 

Or who knows what kinda problems we on HB would be causing for our team.

You won't find a link, but it happened precisely as the poster put it. tOSU came calling right before 2011 season. Bo has turned down a ton of jobs. The only thing that made him even consider anywhere else was after the aTm deal. Harvey was getting a ton of pressure from Delaney about how "non-big ten Bo was acting."
