Who hires Pelini next

[Eric the Red]

I wish Bo would have been more successful but this is business and when the product you produce (field play) is sub-par, the "company" has to make the decision it did. I hope Bo does well wherever he goes but it was time for him and the university to part ways

I think he will do very well where ever he goes. He knows what mistakes to not make. He dug to deep a hole here with his well noted blunders to get out. When he goes elsewhere he gets a fresh start and can almost guarantee going somewhere that doesn't care nearly as much as Husker fans do and will be satisfied with this type of 7 year record.

[Eric the Red]

To me it's not even a question whether or not he gets another job, but what kind........high level D1 like Florida, Michigan, etc. OR low to mid like a Kansas/Kent St.

[JoeHuskers!]

the next DC for Michigan?

[Kernal]

I think he'll go be a DC in the NFL. Maybe to a desperate Kansas-type FBS school, but I doubt even that. Not a chance he goes to a high-profile program as head coach.

I think he makes a far better position coach or DC. But really, Bo is rich and doesn't need to work again. He could take the money and retire.

[True2tRA]

I guess maybe I'm different than most. I don't see Bo getting an immediate Head Coaching job elsewhere. Not on this level anyway. When you look back and think about it, it's surprising Nebraska hired a first time HC in the first place.

 

Bo did learn a lot here. He learned most lessons the hard way. There's also plenty Bo didn't learn or refused to learn from. He didn't sound like a guy open to change or evolution. Probably the biggest reason he's no longer the coach, obviously other reasons as well.

 

His ability to deal with media, control the perception of himself and his players, and not let outside influence and negativity become such a huge part of his teams focus, are all question marks about Bo as a HC candidate moving forward. That's just off the field stuff. Obviously on the field and his willingness to challenge himself with great offensive and defensive assistants surrounding him are other issues.

[30Rozier]

I seriously doubt Bo will get a HC job anywhere. The negatives are too large to overlook. He was a good position coach in the NFL and will probably land there again.

[Whistlebritches]

If he wants to stay as a head coach in college then I think Kansas would be a fantastic place for him to land. He won't have to put up with the same amount of media scrutiny that he did in Lincoln and the fans will be happy with being bowl eligible every year. His defensive schemes should still work reasonably well against the type of offenses they run in the Big 12.

[The Duke]

I think he goes back to the NFL. He may even consider a head coaching position in the FCS...less media attention.

[gobiggergoredder]

If I'm looking for a DC at a big time school, I'm calling him.

 

He's not going to get a major HC job and I think it would be a mistake to take a lower tier HC job.

[The Dude]

DC at major program or head coach at Kansas-type situation.

[Bigred_inSD]

I could see him as a top DC maybe auburn. He knows the SEC with LSU

[ZRod]

DC for da'Bears.

[RunMickeyRun02]

One of Stoops brothers will hire him.

[Touchdown Tommie]

One of Stoops brothers will hire him.

This..

 

He will be a DC/position coach for a few years and maybe get a look again at a smaller school.
