Hedley Lamarr Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Pelini will never change. He has been an arrogant a-hole for decades. You aren't changing character flaws like his with more "seasoning" 2 Quote Link to comment
TheSker Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 He worked for one year here under Solich, that's it, right? It's no more than a loose connection. Pelini was connected to Solich by Monte Kiffin via Pete Carroll. Quote Link to comment

Pete Carroll did and recommended Bo to Kiffin, and nothing says Nebraska like Pete Carroll, right? If we're going to expand "being a Nebraska guy" to every coach known by somebody known by a former Husker, that's going to be a pretty wide circle. Kiffin knows a lot of guys. And he's not the only Husker alum who does. Again, Bo's Nebraska background was 1 year. It's not nothing, but it's not a lot. Not that "being a Nebraska guy" should be an important requirement.

Monte Kiffin and Pete Carroll.......Jeez, I wonder if Bo would consider coming back. I. Had. No. Idea. Quote Link to comment

I'm not saying Pelini was a "Nebraska guy". He wasn't and it's not a requirement. Based on the most recent head coaching hire, a winning record isn't even a requirement. Quote Link to comment

Redux Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 If he tried a little harder he could have been the Antichrist of Husker football... The funny thing about the win totals is that we consider the 7 years of 9+ wins as pretty disappointing in the grand scheme. I bet a lot of SEC schools would have loved to have our win totals to hang their hats on before the recent surge. In other words, those SEC schools would have rather played in the big 12 north and big10 legends/west Yeah because we didnt play any teams from the Big 12 South or Big Ten East/Leaders division over that time.

I am I Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 What would happen if you started the time line at 2000? Had to do some compiling but here's what I found: 1 Boise State 167 2 Oklahoma 161 3 LSU 151 4 Oregon 147 5 Ohio State 146 6 Texas 146 7 Georgia 144 8 Virginia Tech 143 9 TCU 142 10 Florida 137 11 Wisconsin 136 12 Auburn 133 13 Southern California 132 14 Florida State 131 15 Nebraska 131 16 Louisville 129 17 Clemson 127 18 Miami (FL) 127 19 Northern Illinois 125 20 Utah 123 21 West Virginia 123 22 BYU 122 23 Cincinnati 120 24 Georgia Tech 120 25 Michigan 119 26 Fresno State 119 27 Texas Tech 118 28 South Carolina 117 29 Alabama 116 30 Missouri 116 31 Kansas State 116 32 Oklahoma State 115 33 Notre Dame 115 34 Toledo 115 35 Boston College 115 36 Iowa 114 37 Michigan State 113 38 Tennessee 111 39 Oregon State 109 40 Texas A&M 107 I can honestly say that I am so glad we are still ahead of Kstate on this list. The next 15 yrs will be good. Quote Link to comment

Kansas St, Colorado, Missouri, Iowa St, Kansas, Minnesota Combine that with a .479 (since 2000) winning percentage against cross-divisional foes and we get the complete answer. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 The point is Arkansas, Tenessee,Kentucky, Miss State would all have loved to have gone 9+ 7 years in a row. Hell even Alabama had a down period in there before the SEC push began. Quote Link to comment

Hell even Alabama had a down period in there before the SEC push began. No the point is, it was garbage wins and garbage losses. 9-4 in the SEC is tougher to do than in the big10 Or big12 pretty regularly since 2006 ish. It is what it is. 1 Quote Link to comment
