I wonder how the list would look after the bowls. Would Pelini be #1 after Johnson got whipped against LSU.

I would have johnson 1st... but it is close simply because pelini is a true first year coach. just like I expect the team to improve as we go on bo is going to really grow the next few years. even though he's been a coach for years HCing is just different

 
As a clemson fan, I dont like to see what he wrote about Dabo's outlook (he was down at #5) in that he wont win any more than Tommy Bowden did. I'm terrified that it could be true as I was not one pushing for him to the the permanent job in the first place, but I think he has the tools to be much more successful. The question is whether or not he will use those tools.

 
2. Bo Pelini(Nebraska 8-4 5-3 in Big XII)- Pelini should be in year 5 at Nebraska. The hiring of Bill Callahan is one of the worst this decade. An OT loss to 11-1 Texas Tech kept the Huskers out of the Big XII championship game and another close loss to Virginia Tech hurt Nebraska. Yet, the Huskers still earned a share of the Big XII North Title(Mizzou wins tie breaker).
How does the future look?

The future at Nebraska looks great. In a conference filled with great offenses, someone has to play great defense. Pelini will have Nebraska back on top of the Big XII North and competing for BCS games sooner than later.

What this guy wrote is 100% correct.

 
This was no big surprise...I think Bo was picked as one of the potential impact coaches before the season started. When you look at the numbers, he did a great job in his first year. Still have more work to do, and I believe he will not be satisfied until it is done...then only until the next Spring Game.
