knapplc Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 February 2019 marks the final payment of that sweet, sweet Nebraska cash for former Head Coach Bo Pelini. There's been a lot of speculation about Bo's future at Youngstown State, especially in light of his disastrous 2018 season that saw the Penguins go 4-7 and miss the playoffs. But YSU AD Ron Strollo expects Bo to be back next season. Quote Bo Pelini, YSU "expect relationship to continue" A deal hasn't been signed, but an understanding has been reached regarding Bo Pelini's future as Youngstown State's football coach, athletic director Ron Strollo confirmed Saturday morning. Strollo and Pelini met for four hours on Friday and "both sides expect the relationship to continue," Strollo said. Pelini's current four-year contract is slated to expire in February. Strollo said terms for his new deal will be finalized in February. No changes are expected with the rest of Pelini's staff. Pelini did not return a call for comment. Pelini is 27-22 at YSU and is coming off a 4-7 season in 2018. In 2016, The Penguins went to the FCS national championship in 2016, losing to James Madison, 28-14. The wording of Strollo's statement is interesting, in that it's not a guarantee and leaves room for both sides to move on. But what's probably more interesting is that both sides - Pelini and the Penguins - allowed Bo's contract to all but expire before renewing it. Coaches are typically kept on a four-year contract cycle for recruiting assurances. That Bo's contract wasn't renewed until now suggests one or both parties anticipated that Bo may not be at YSU right now. 1 Quote Link to comment

84HuskerLaw Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Assuming Bo stays there and they make up a 'new' contract, I will be quite surprised if his pay does not increase dramatically with the effect of the initial contract being to suck NU for all they thought they could for the term of his NU buy out and then, after we've paid all along, he gets a big jump. The likelihood was an under the table agreement which deferred a chunck of his first four years pay until he got as much as he thought he could possibly get. Likely get more like double or even triple his prior YSU salary on renewal. Quote Link to comment

And if they actually made a signed agreement (which I doubt) I imagine Nebraska could sue. Quote Link to comment
NebraskaHarry Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Why would Bo want to renew his contract at Youngstown when he can work at McDonalds? 1 Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 What Bo should do is take a Defensive Coordinator position at a D1 school. Good money, doing what he's best suited for, and it gets him out of the front line of all those interviews. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
Waldo Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I always liked Bo. Not the best coach or demeanor, but he got a lot out of his players. Hope he finds success. 5 2 Quote Link to comment

Hope he finds success. I am in the minority that had no problem with his demeanor, even after his tapes and tirades. I understand where he was coming from. But, he was definitely growing stagnant and not showing much improvement, so i had no problem with him being let go. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I wasn’t trying to get into a debate on his time here. Just will root for the guy if he gets some sort of D1 job. 2 Quote Link to comment
