Who hires Pelini next

[MichiganDad3]

Bo goes to the WWF as a manager. He will have great interviews that consist of nothing but screaming. When he disagrees with the ref, he will be allowed to spit on the ref and hit the ref. Perfect fit.

Been hearing quite a few CSU folks throw Pelini's name around since Monday. Denver Post now making an article about it... would be interesting: http://www.denverpost.com/hochman/ci_27066923/hochman-bo-pelini-would-be-good-choice-replace-jim-mcelwain-at-csu

 

SOME OF MY COWORKERS (CSU GRADS) SAID THEY WOULDN'T MIND HAVING PELINI.

 

MAYBE THE LEGAL WEED WOULD CALM HIM DOWN A LITTLE

 

 

I think he'd be more comfortable there. They don't care nearly as much about football and there'd probably be 1/10 of the amount of media.

 

 

Two months ago, every Rams Alum I knew was giving me crap about what a D-Bag Pelini was. This week they all want him @ CSU. I don't think they understand the "9+ wins every season" probably stays in Lincoln ...

 

And agreed, FTC is a great town where the media & microscope issues are exactly what BP needs, imo... Heck, I think the media started phoning in the post-game pressers at CU last season...

So if he takes a job somewhere, does his new salary get deducted from the buyout? I always wondered how this worked.

The buyout I think is 151k over 51 weeks. That's a total of 7.7 mil.

 

If he takes a job over 1.8 mil/year, the buyout is void.

 

If he takes a job under 1.8 mil/year, we're only responsible for the difference, which at a mil/year would be about 70k.

 

My initial numbers may be off, but this is the process that I saw on the news.

 

Excellent info, thank you.

 

How could us normal folk get a deal like this and why would he want to go back to work. If he and his family isn't resting comfortably on a Caribbean Isle then... well he's an idiot.

Personally I'd be bored resting on an island for several years...Plus the competitor/pride factor comes into play...

Count's right (per usual). It's 51 months tho, not weeks...

[minnHusker6]

Pelini to the WWF?? Love it. Distracts the ref with the hat swing. Then his man EXECUTES the Faux Cat Swipe Claw. 1.2.3. There is your championship Huskernation.

Good luck Bo with your next gig.

Bo-liever thru and thru.

Bo would do great as a DC back in the SEC.

 

Depends. Do they ever run the football in the SEC?

[presidentjlh]

Why do we even care?

Well, although we've cut ties with the guy, he did bring this program some good things, and kept us from plummeting into the depths. He has my gratitude for that, and he is always welcome back as a former coach for a visit, imo.

 

Whether he'll act on that is a different question. But, I don't hate the man. He's very rough around the edges, but, he's an intense dude. Honestly, I greatly identified with Pelini through these past 7 years. I'm normally friendly or reserved, but, competition gets me riled up, and I say things sometimes I didn't mean to say. So, I sympathized with Bo. I understood where he was coming from.

I agree. Plus fort Collins is a great little city. I think that Bo and his family would love it there.

[southernoregonhusker]

Bo's not getting hired this year. He's radioactive. Play that audio tape about the fans and show his "highlight" film and there's not a big school president in America who will hire him. He needs some downtime so he can claim he's grown up.

[Husker no ka oi]

 

 

DC for da'Bears.

 

That would blow my mind and as a guy who has given Pelini hell for the last few years on this board I would actually love to have Bo as a defensive coach of some variety with the Bears. I'm not so sure about head DC necessarily.

I don't think the Bears want to see the lions rush for over 400 yards against them

Cows just put 200 in the bears. Pelini would have made damn sure Murray went over 300.

Since he's already been a great DC in the SEC (LSU under Les Miles) would he go back to do that again? Hmmm..if I had Bo's bucks I would retire for good!

[HuSkeRooNz]

Don't care where he goes but hopefully it is somebody we play. He has shown he can't stop a decent rushing attack. I want to face his team every year and set some records of our own.

That really sounds like a great idea.

I didn't like Bo being a hothead but liked him for his determination. He did love his team. I think of him as a person and a dad and a husband and wouldn't hesitate to welcome him back for a visit. But, with that said, he has his millions and he publicly said "fire me." I know he said that in anger. I agree he had his rough edges and a lot of other issues but deep deep down had a good side to him. I wish him and his family the best in life to come.

There's quite a bit of stink on Bo Pelini. LSU fans don't care for him at all and his SEC prospects are not good IMO. He was a respected position coach in the NFL and I don't doubt he could get that job again. I don't see him getting a head coaching job anywhere. He is embarrassing and a loose cannon. AD's don't really care for that sort of thing.

 

The word is out on what he told the players at their off-campus meeting as well. That won't help. Wherever he goes, whatever he does, I hope we never hear from him again. I have zero respect for him.
