xmanjones Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) I hear a lot of talk about who do we want, but maybe there is som other program out there that wants our guy? It would seem like that would make things MUCH easier on us for getting the right coaching staff. Is this a possibility? EDITED FOR CLARITY Edited November 18, 2014 by xmanjones Quote Link to comment
Hujan Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I hear a lot of talk about who do we want, but maybe there is someone out there that wants our guy? It would seem like that would make things MUCH easier on us for getting the right coaching staff. Is this a possibility? You mean at other programs? Not as a head coach but I could see the appeal as a DC or secondary coach. Alabama seems to have done well with Kiffin as OC. I bet Pelini would find himself a DC or assistant job at an SEC school or in the NFL. He's ideally suited to the pass-happy NFL, IMO. Quote Link to comment
xmanjones Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 Yeah, I'm talking other programs here. I wasn't clear about that. Quote Link to comment
huskerfan92 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I think the NFL would come calling. If his defense is good at one thing it's stopping the passing game, which the NFL certainly has become. So I think he could be a position coach or defensive coordinator. No big time college program will want him as a head coach, only smaller schools would want him at that position. Big time college programs may want him as a defensive coordinator.

alwayshusking Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 The market is soft on Pelini. No major schools want him as a HC. If we want to get rid of him, we need to put our big boy pants on and fire him. 1 Quote Link to comment
AngryHusker88 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 After watching Nebraska get embarrassed in its own stadium last year by a mediocre Iowa...& not 1 single firing...I am not sure Nebraska has big boy pants. $500 says if Bo Pelini is back for 2015, so is his buddy Tim Beck. EDIT - To be honest...I thought about it after I posted this...I am not so sure Tim Beck is the problem at this point. He may just be a scapegoat. After the Wisconsin game (I didn't watch the whole game...I turned it off after Wiscy went up 52-17 because I felt that the team gave up)...I still felt supportive of Bo but wanted Beck gone. Granted, Beck more often than not goes away from what is working when it comes crunch time (he panics). So he's not a great playcaller by any means. But at this point I really have no faith that if Beck were fired...that Bo wouldn't just hire another one of his buddies (probably Fisher). Ron Brown would be an intriguing candidate (as he seems like a pretty no nonsense dude as opposed to Tim Beck seems to think being multiple on offense is an end in itself). Quote Link to comment
HuskerCarter Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I wouldn't be surprised if Florida is looking at him. Would they take him? I don't know. Would they give him a long look? Hell yes. Quote Link to comment
Hedley Lamarr Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 No one wants Bo Pelini, he is the coaching version of herpes 1 Quote Link to comment

Moiraine Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Lots of teams would hire him as a coordinator or position coach. It seems like he's good when he can focus on one thing. He's just not a good manager, imo. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Come on. I'm certain there are programs out there who would love to get Bo as their HC. Sure our fanbase has soured on him quite a bit. But I would be shocked if he can't find work in a power 5 league at the HC position. Quote Link to comment

If we want to get rid of him, we need to put our big boy pants on and fire him. Are you a big man? Huh? I'm talking to you! Do you wake up in the mornin' and say, "I'm puttin on my big boy pants. Look, I'm wearin' a belt. I got big boy pants on." Put on a little jacket, you go, you take you lunch cause you have big boy pants on? YOU GOT YOUR BIG BOY PANTS AND YOUR SNACK! Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I'm sure some mid-major programs would like Bo as their HC. Those teams would love winning 9 games a year. It's just not acceptable when you don't bring home any hardware. Quote Link to comment

The Iowa States and Kansas' of the world sure But not a program that is even remotely considered a peer. Quote Link to comment
Dr. Mantis Toboggan Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Bo would be a good fit in the MAC. But not in a power 5 conference. Quote Link to comment
